PLAY TELEVISION WHEN HARRY MEET NINA

- DANIELLE MCGRANE

Alexander England landed a role in Offspring, he went on a binge session. The actor was one of those rare people who hadn’t been following Nina Proudman’s every move since she first burst on to screens in 2010. After landing a part in the show, England found himself on a rollercoas­ter of emotions as he watched the first five seasons from beginning to end.

“It took a little while, but I got the compressio­n session of Offspring,” England said. He joined the cast for season six as Harry Crewe, a crisis and culture consultant brought in to help the hospital of St Francis weather a PR issue.

The season ended with the show’s star, Nina Proudman ( Asher Keddie), and Harry starting off a promising new relationsh­ip. This season, Harry is at the epicentre of some of the main storylines involving his family, who could give the Proudmans a run for their money.

“Harry has become a Mr Fix- it for anything and, in this season, we see him go from managing a problem at St Francis to working more with his family and his family’s bus company business as a favour to his sister, basically,” England said.

When it comes to Nina’s love life, England is aware the whole country is going to be watching and wondering if he can live up to the charms of the show’s heroine but he has a good feeling about the two of them.

“I love that the fans feel strongly because they care about the show ... it’s great that they have strong opinions about who Nina should be with and who’s right for Nina,” he said.
