Jasmine settles down in the Bay
SAM FROST SWAPS REALITY TV STARDOM FOR HOME AND AWAY...
Jasmine Delaney’s first few weeks in the Bay haven’t exactly been a barrel of laughs, but things finally start to look up this week as she strikes up a lovely friendship with Mason. So what better time to grab Home and Away newcomer Sam Frost – former star of reality show The Bachelorette Australia, in which a pool of men vie to marry an eligible woman – for a chat about her first major acting role…
Hey, Sam! What have your first few months on the show been like?
They’ve been amazing! The whole crew is like one big family – they’ve all been so supportive of me and made me feel at home from day one.
You’ve kind of been thrown in at the deep end following stints on two big reality shows Down Under.
Yeah it’s been challenging, but equally rewarding. The cast are a great support network – we all give each other advice on what’s working or not, or how to approach different scenes. We also have incredible acting coaches who guide us. We’re always learning and doing our best to evolve.
Who’s taken you under their wing and looked after you?
Ada Nicodemou [Leah] has been a great mentor and friend. We had most of my first scenes together, and she really helped me through the process – and she still does today. I’m so lucky our characters are such good friends, like we are!
What do Home and Away viewers think of Jasmine?
Jasmine is a likeable character, she’s not there to step on anyone’s toes or be the villain. She’s a typical Australian girl in that she loves the beach and the outdoors, but her naivety and trust in people can get her into some sticky situations. I think viewers are able to relate to those qualities in her.
Can you give us any hints about what else is coming up for Jasmine?
As Jasmine starts to call Summer Bay her home, you’ll see her grow and become more confident in herself. Who knows, maybe there’ll be a little romance for her too…
