Millions of fans will rejoice to learn that a sequel to the incredibly popular drama series McLeod’s Daughters could soon be back on our TV screens, with the script already written, locations chosen and the original stars lining up to join the cast!
And fan favourites Bridie Carter, 52, and Lisa Chappell, 54, who played sisters Tess and Claire McLeod, could lead the charge of returning stars – even though Claire was killed off in one of the most watched deaths on Australian television!
“As long as it was done in a way that doesn’t diminish the memory of the character, I don’t think anyone wouldn’t want to see Claire as a ghost, sitting on the edge of Tess’ bed, giving her sage advice,” Lisa tells Woman’s Day.
Bridie, who was inspired to take up a life on the land in northern NSW in real life after starring in the first six seasons of the hit show, confirms she has been approached to reprise her role and has even seen a draft script. “Our McLeod’s family is still alive and well today, growing stronger by the minute,” she recently posted on Instagram after previously reassuring fans that the reboot would “do justice to the legend of McLeod’s Daughters”.
PLOT THICKENS
Bridie also recently teased fans by asking what they thought happened to Tess and her husband Nick – who was played by heartthrob Myles Pollard – after they moved to Argentina, when it was revealed that Nick had survived a plane crash in South America.
