Star of Home and Away Lynne McGranger has admitted that she was originally taken aback to find that Shane Withington was dating his co-star from A Country Practise, Anne Tenney.
Although the Australian-paced episodes of Home and Away have lately included a false relationship between Lynne and Shane’s characters Irene Roberts and John Palmer, the actress revealed us about a real-life conversation they had a few years after Shane joined the drama.
She revealed to 7Life, “About two years after Shane joined the show, we were both in the green room and I said to him, ‘You married?'”
“He answered, “Yeah, I have a partner, and we have been together for 30 years,” and I asked, “Oh, what’s her name?” He replied, “Anne.”
In the 1980s, Shane and Anne costarred on the Australian soap A Country Practise, and Lynne admitted she “nearly died” when she learned they were a real-life couple.
She continued, “I was like, “Are you kidding me, are you two together in real life?”
I unexpectedly transformed into a hopeless soap opera romantic because I was so thrilled that Brendan and Molly were genuinely dating in real life. The experience was the most thrilling ever.
After learning of their relationship, Lynne continued by stating that she and Shane “always got along and enjoyed working together”.
She continued, “He’s such a sweetheart and so much fun to work with.” “What I love about Shane is that he actually reminds me of myself,” the author said. “He’s not afraid to really go for it, go over the top, and then let the director pull it back.”
