Rebekah Elmaloglou, who plays Terese Willis on Neighbours, has teased a second major storyline for her character.
Regular viewers of Ramsay Street will be aware that she is currently relapsing into alcoholism, but the soap’s writers, according to Elmaloglou, have another “interesting plot” in the works.
“Neighbours bosses have been telling me for well over a year that they have two major stories coming up for Terese,” she recently told Inside Soap.
“So I’ve been hanging around in the background of everyone else’s plots for a while, and know that this storyline has come, it’s hit me like a ton of bricks! And there’s still another massive, exciting plot which they keep putting off for various reasons…”
Those reasons were left unsaid, but further, along with her interview, Elmaloglou weighed in on portraying the “vulnerable” aspects of Terese: “I find it quite difficult. It’s showing a really vulnerable side to her, so that’s far more tricky than playing her just normal and going to work. It’s very raw and emotional – but I enjoy the challenge.
“This story just goes to show that temptation is always there,” she reflected. “It’s all down to what’s going on in your life, and how the stresses you encounter can pull you back.
“Awful things happen, and Terese fights it – but it’s always a massive struggle.”
