Tammin Sursok of Home and Away fame may have made it big in America, but she hasn’t forgotten her roots and says she wouldn’t mind returning to Summer Bay!
Tammin, who played Dani Sutherland on the popular Australian soap, told New Idea exclusively that she’d return if the chance arose.
I would definitely do a cameo for the fans, the 37-year-old actress says.
That’s where I began and where I’ve gotten everything about my career – I’m not sure where my life would’ve gone if it hadn’t been for that display. I’m thankful for the experience and the chance, so I’d gladly make a cameo appearance.
Dani will not, however, be returning to the Bay on a permanent basis.
I don’t think I’d go back and revisit that character for a long time because I believe her story has been told and that character has been completed, and I enjoy exploring new possibilities. However, if I were to return, I would certainly give a kiss to all of my fans.
Tammin first appeared on Home and Away when she was 15 years old, and she starred on the show from 2000 to 2004.
Though she is no longer in touch with her former co-stars, she fondly recalls meeting some of them, including Kimberley Cooper, Dan Collopy, Bec Hewitt (nee Cartwright), Chris Egan, and even a certain Thor star, who have all broken America.
Years ago, I bumped into Chris Hemsworth at a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles, and we struck up a conversation. It’s like family when you’re having that experience together, and you never forget your family, she says.
When your life changes dramatically for the first time, you still remember the people for whom it changed. Chris Hemsworth is an A-list celebrity, but he’s always remembered the people he’s worked with from the start because your lives shift together.
Tammin and her partner, Sean McEwan, now live in the United States with their children Phoenix, seven, and Lennon, two, but Tammin hasn’t seen her parents in Sydney in almost two years due to the coronavirus.
When asked if she missed Australia, the mother of two admits, “I think if you let your mind go down the rabbit hole, you can get really sad about it.”
‘I’m one of many people who aren’t seeing their families right now to remember, and this is a moment in time that no one expected or cared for, and it’s never happened to us before in our lifetime,’ I try to think. Knowing that there is an end to this pandemic, that people are getting vaccinated in the United States, and that cases are decreasing, I know that it will eventually be done, and we will be able to see them, but I’m only hoping we get there faster.
Tammin, who recently became the global ambassador for Edible Beauty, has said that she has enjoyed family time despite the struggles of being in and out of lockdown for 14 months.
With Mother’s Day approaching, the actress promises a low-key celebration.
These are the kinds of holidays that my children adore. They’ll try to cook me something or give me an Edible Beauty face mask, but more than likely, we’ll have a picnic where the kids can play outside while we drink wine. I believe you will always be a mother on Mother’s Day, so it will be something casual like that. I’m looking forwards to being absolutely pampered and visiting a spa next year, but not this year.
Tammin says it’s both an external and internal thing for her when it comes to her health.
Sleep, water, diet, and affirmations are all beneficial, but what you put on your body has a significant impact on your overall health. I came across this incredible Australian-founded brand called Edible Beauty. Their products are non-toxic, cruelty-free, and eco-friendly. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in the colour and texture of my skin, as well as how their goods make me feel. I’m aware that I’m practising self-care, which benefits my overall mental health.
