Michelle – who plays nurse Kate Thorne on the show – said: ‘I absolutely loved filming in Australia. I mean when I first got there the weather wasn’t great I’m not going to lie but as a country I really enjoyed it.
“In a way, my trip to Australia parallels Kate’s. It was also my first time and I didn’t know what to expect. I came alone, which was kind of scary, but it was such an incredible experience.”
Michelle admitted that playing her character Kate’s “restlessness” was “really challenging” at times.
She said, “My character Kate is a nurse who left the UK to go to Australia for a very different reason than the rest of the characters.
“She has an emotional connection to the country and we find out as the show goes on what her intentions are and why she went there.

Michelle admitted that a period drama has been on her bucket list for a long time.
She added: “Obviously the series is set in the 50’s so it’s a totally different era and it’s the first time I’ve appeared in a period drama but it’s something I’ve always wanted doing.’
