Home and Away favourite Lynne McGranger has a lot on her plate right now, preparing to strip nude in front of Australia on The All New Monty Ladies’ Night, and with her character Irene set to face her worst nightmare; possible imprisonment and a decline back into addiction.
So, when the star fronted up on The Morning Show today, she had plenty to talk about – including her charity work supporting stricken farmers with Dollars for Dust. But things soon got down to the nitty gritty, with host Larry Emdur asking Lynne the big question: What on earth is Alf Stewart going to make of Lynne’s upcoming bare-all performance on TV?

‘Well I think we’re quite tasteful on camera,’ laughed Lynne. ‘On the night you saw the whole shebang.
‘As long as you don’t have a weak stomach, tune in!’
On the subject of her popular character Irene’s current drama, Lynne indicated that things might turn decidedly badly for the tortured Summer Bay fixture if she isn’t lucky enough to earn the mercy of the judge.
‘Irene might go to jail, and might end up on the booze again,’ she said of her character, who has had an on-off battle with the bottle that has sometimes seen her hit rock bottom.
‘Let’s just hope she has a lenient judge.’
Speaking on the storyline that has seen her character up on serious charges after assaulting and then abandoning a child grooming creep, Irene confessed that the drama has been hard to deal with, revealing, ‘it was a gruelling thing to film.’
But away from the world of fiction, Lynne wants fans to know there is plenty of real suffering on the land, which is why she is supporting Dollars for Dust.
‘If we do something to try and help keep our farmers on their land – and it’s a case of whatever we can do – then, when the drought does break, there will be people there to plant and grow our crops, and our supermarket shelves will be full again,’ Lynne tells New Idea.
