General: Siobhan's live chat

What do you plan to do after outrageous, will you still be acting? Did you think that Outrageous would be such a hit and have so many series? Where were you born lol?  Thanks for taking the time out to respond to your fans its really cool! Good luck with the TV awards we all know Outrageous will do fantastic as always!

thank you. Hopefully I'll keep working after outrageous.
i don't think any of us knew it would be such a hit when we started. I was just happy to have work so didn't think about it at the time! I was born in National Women's hospital in Auckland

thanks for the luck, im nervous!

What's the most outrageous scene you have done in the series? Congrats on the nomination for the Qantas TV awards, you deserve it.

thank you! ummmm the porno shoot with me and nicole (kasey) was pretty crack up

There's a fine tradition of Kiwi's coming across the ditch to work in Australia - Russell Crowe springs to mind - so is there any chance of you doing this as well? We have some soap operas and dramas that I am sure you could do well on, before going on to bigger and better things in L.A.

Is there at least a chance of you coming over to Sydney to do a meet and greet with your Aussie fans?

i would if the right role came about. I haven't been to Oz for work yet

if you buy my plane ticket i'll do a meet and greet! bahhahahaha

I heard that you're a bit of a singer, any plans to pursue that in the future or is it just a hobby? And just out of curiosity - is Frank Whitten much like his character of Grandpa and if so, what's the downtime like on-set with him around?

i love singing but am too scared! i've been writing songs on my ukelele ha ha
I don't think Frank is like Grandpa...Frank makes me giggle. Grandpa sometimes makes me cringe!

How would feel if they asked you to do a Outrageous Fortune spin-off starring Pascalle?

Depends. it would be nice to play a different role though. If I got to do both, for sure!

Which phase of Pascalle have you enjoyed playing the most (Pascalle in the beginning who was more bitchy, doing modeling and was quite highly strung; Pascalle going Muslim good girl for Bruce or young business woman Pascalle)?

i think the writers are very clever at developing the characters so I've always enjoyed each phase as it's been at the right time.

How are you feeling about this being the last series? Will you miss Pascalle and where to from here?

I will miss Pascalle and the cast and crew...hopefully my next role will have a slightly higher IQ...ha ha ha

Is it weird doing so many sex scenes? I know your character has calmed down a lot since the first series but did you ever find it awkward?

They can be scary but ive never had a bad experience cos all the other actors have been lovely and respectful :)

Do you ever sneak in a real alcoholic drink when you are doing a scene at the pub or at the house drinking rum and coke?

i wish! that would be better than flat coke

I'm from the US, moving to NZ in a few months. Just started watching the show, so far so good. Now that the show is over do you plan on "breaking out" into other acting, like New York/Hollywood etc. or is there a draw to stick to New Zealand films/shows? I'm not sure how to word that question.

I'm not sure how to word this answer... ha ha ha!

Now that this is the last season, will you and the crew all stay in contact as you must be pretty much like a family after all these seasons.

hi there. yes I have made some very good friends on this show that I catch up with all the time (like Lucy!!!!) he he.  we have an outrageous indoor netball team so its a good way to see people each week :)

What's it like knowing this is the (supposed) final season of Outrageous Fortune?
Also, do you think the West Family live out the 'Bogan Stereotype' in a good or bad way?
And finally, of all the deceased or lost characters, who do you miss working with the most?

I miss everyone now its over!!!! i suppose its good and bad, I just don't think there's a way for people to relate to a story that's not realistically good and bad - its just how humans are and the way the world is. does that make any sense??

Are you and Lucy E going to watch the show together tonight and drink that bottle of champers on the desk?

actually no, I'm going out for a birthday dinner with my friend, so I have to go soon. happy birthday tamryn!!!!!!  maybe lucy can come :) he he

Do you have any pets and what's your favourite animal besides pets?

YES! I have a doggy called Bentley. he is here right now helping. we will put a photo up later on.
I love elephants.

Hello Siobhan! I am from Vermont in the USA and I love your work as Pascalle! I have only seen the first season so far, but I love it! My question is have you seen the American version of the show called "Scoundrels"? If so, what do you think of the similarities between those characters and the characters on OF? I was also wondering if there will be an American release of the show on DVD at all?

don't know about DVDs - Lucy says no at the moment

thank you. I have been to Vermont before. i have seen Scoundrels - i was hoping the girl who played Pascalle would be really bad but actually I thought she was pretty great! darn it! ha ha ha

Do you ever get nervous working with new people on set?

yes i do actually! but I just giggle

Have you ever been really scared or excited of a certain something you have had to act out during Outrageous Fortune?

yes, sex scenes can be scary!

Is there anyone in the cast you look up to? (current or past)

yes, I really look up to Elizabeth Hawthorne. i think shes a wonderful actor and a fantastic human being.

What's your favourite food?

oooh la la. cheesecake and anything japanese japanese japanese

 What's your favourite holiday destination/country?

Fiji!!!! i love Fijians

Do you watch Outrageous Fortune?

I actually haven't this series - I've been away.

What's your favourite NZ TV show, past, present or maybe even future?

I'm looking forward to the Almighty Johnsons, I think it sounds exciting!

What have you been doing these past few months after filming of Outrageous finished?

just hanging out..done some travel and had a nice holiday :)

Is Grandpa Ted really that seedy cause he plays such a good dirty old man?

no Frank is not seedy! he's a really lovely person.

How long after you have filmed a scene do you remember the lines etc?

i always forget straight away!

Are you going to be performing in the Vagina Monologues?

no actually :(

Looks like I'm done! i hope I answered all your questions - thank you for being here and for all the nice things you said.

and for watching the show!!!!!
bye!

xoxoxo
Siobhan

In regards to the team wolf/wayne question, I thought she would say wolf, because she plays his daughter, but when she said wayne, there was a definite fist pump lol!

Siobhan and I saw New Moon together...twice!!! Ha ha!

Louise - she didn't take that decision lightly & put Pascalle aside to make a personal choice.

still, it makes me happy because it will annoy Corny Ohh now I'm showing my nasty self lol... Personal choice is what we were after

I had fun re-reading the thread, shame I couldn't "chat" I would have asked a couple of other things, but I was satisfied...

Yep and that her favourite wiggle is the one that falls asleep! Mine too!!!! lol

Ohhhh no you didn't!

That was wonderful thanks for that :)

So to speak.
