"Everyone was extraordinarily warm and welcoming," said Redmayne. "I'm very fortunate to enter a really great company of people because it is really easy to come to work every day.

"I remember the first day I walked onto the set of Lynne's [McGranger] house, it was quite extraordinary – it's like I was living that dream," she added.

Harris, who plays the younger sibling, revealed that she was already acquainted with some of her co-stars after auditioning for other characters on the show.

"I slightly knew Juliet Godwin [who plays Bree Cameron] because we both come from a very similar area of Perth," she said. "She was a couple of years above me in school, but everyone in the cast was ridiculously welcoming.

"I remember in the callback they were telling me it was like a family and I was going, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah'. When you get in, it really is a family. And it's not just the cast but the crew, make-up, costumes... everyone,” she added.

Redmayne, who has previously worked on fellow Australian soap Neighbours, is a graduate of the Musical Theatre at Federation University Arts Academy.

Harris also has a solid background, with her training taking place at the Fontainebleau Conservatory of Music and Drama in France. Her previous acting credits include The Claremont Murders and Harrow.
