Home and Away’s Irene Roberts is a stalwart on the Australian soap and actress Lynne McGranger recently spoke about the show’s “gruelling” plots.
Lynne talked about the soap’s bus crash storyline where three characters are seriously injured.
In conversation with the Daily Edition, the actress said: “It’s very hard and it’s very exhausting as an actor, and I know it’s hard for the viewers to watch some of it.
“I’ve had people on Twitter and what not say how sad and gruelling it is.”
She went on to say that this particular storyline is a long-running one and Leah Patterson’s (Ada Nicodemou) life will hang in the balance.
“It’s a very long and arduous road and it does stretch on over quite a few weeks and months.
“That’s all I can tell you really. The viewers are just going to have to watch and hope and pray, like all of us in Summer Bay, that she pulls through.”

On a happier note, Lynne went on to say that she was thrilled about the news that her co-star Emily Symons is pregnant.
“It’s fantastic, unbelievable news. Do you know what? We never ever picked it! You could have seriously knocked me over with a feather.
“I could not believe it! It was just – it was so far off my radar. She is so happy and she looks so beautiful. It’s lovely. It’s just wonderful, wonderful news.”
