Although Emily Symons and Ray Meagher have been good friends for more than 30 years, she recently admitted that she inadvertently destroyed one of his best moments.
The Home and Away actress Emily Symons admitted she once destroyed one of Ray Meagher’s greatest moments.
On the Channel 5 soap, the actress, 54, has played Marilyn Chambers since 1989, and Ray, 79, has played Alf Stewart since the first episode, which aired in January 1988.
The lifelong friends from the soap opera attended a number of award shows together, but it was at one of these occasions that tragedy struck.
Speaking about the terrible occurrence before this year’s Logies, Emily admitted she was a touch giddy when Ray was named the Gold Logie winner in 2010.
She dropped a glass of red wine into Ray’s lap by accident as she toasted Ray’s significant victory.
On The Morning Show with Ray in July, she said, “I tipped a glass of wine on his lap just as he had to go up and accept his prise.
The celebrity continued, “So I’m not going to win, but if I do, he might want revenge!”
“Are you going to get me back?” Emily questioned her co-star.
He then remarked, “Perhaps Emily was (so thrilled) and all that and the wine went directly to my crotch and as I was getting up I was kind of trying to dry it out.
Emily chuckled, “I spoiled the best time of his life.
Ray was nominated for the Best Actor award at this year’s Logies, which were held on July 30. Emily was up for the Silver Logie for Best Actress.
Sam Neill, a well-known actor in Hollywood, won the Best Actor award, but Kitty Flanagan won the Best Actress prise.
Ray gushed about Emily throughout the interview as he recounted the day she showed up on the Home and Away set in 1989.
“Emily’s character was a breath of fresh air in the Bay,” he remarked. She wasn’t like other characters, either.
In terms of her values and how she dressed for her age as the character aged, Marilyn has stayed exactly the same.
In addition to her incredible comedic timing, that is one of the reasons she is such a success, the soap opera legend continued. And that has stayed the same all along.
