Bridie Carter on the McLeod's Daughters reboot
Bridie Carter first appeared on Australian TV screens in 1995 when she made her debut on Home & Away. But it was her starring role as Tess McLeod in McLeod's Daughters when the country really fell in love.
In this week's episode of WHO's podcast Who Are You, Carter talks to host Pete Timbs about the McLeod's Daughters reboot rumours, admitting she would love for the show to be revived.
One of the most successful Australian dramas when it aired from 2001-2009, Bridie admits that the show still has a huge following.
"We all still get fan mail, especially in Europe, it's huge," she told Pete.
The actress confirmed that the show's creator Posie Graeme-Evans was indeed in talks for a remake with streaming service Stan.
"Posie was keen and she got together and there was a synopsis written and they had discussions with Stan," she revealed.
"Posie chose to walk away because she felt like Stan wasn't going to make the show that she did. She only wanted to make it if it was of the highest standard. I've been talking to Posie the whole time and of course I would love to go back and do it and so would certain other cast members"
The mother-of-two says to her, it's a no-brainer. "You have this ready made audience globally, they're waiting."
Bridie reveals more in her chat with Pete, including why she believes the show was so successful and how she met her husband, Michael.
She also opens up about her mother's suicide when Bridie was just nine years old.
