Pacific update
The Pacific is a forthcoming Australian-filmed mini-series which was made before Out of the Blue but still hasn't hit the airwaves. Among its cast of well-known faces from Aussie drama are Aidan Gillett (Daniel McManus) and Zoe Carides (Pia Jones).
TV Tonight reported this week that the show isn't expected to premiere until 2010 but will air across the globe, in territories including the US, UK, Germany and France.
Aidan has confirmed to fans on Facebook that he has a small role in the first episode and really enjoyed being involved in the project.
From the creators of Band of Brothers, The Pacific will air in 10 parts and tell the story of three Marines during America's battle with the Japanese in World War II.

Shane Withington in Summer Bay
Shane Withington - best known to us as Detective Wilson - gets a mention in Australia's Daily Telegraph newspaper today.
The paper reports that he's landed a guest role in Home and Away, which will keep him busy over the next few months. He plays John Palmer, a member of the surf lifesaving club.
Sadly the newspaper doesn't mention that Shane is also in our favourite show.
Just in case you're losing track, Aidan Gillett (Daniel McManus), Bernard Curry (Nate Perrett), John Atkinson (Stephen Mulroney) and Samara Weaving (Kirsten Mulroney) have all either been in, or been linked to, Home and Away in recent months. Kain O'Keefe, who played crazy Blade, is also about to pop up on UK screens.
Pretty soon it'll be hard for the casual viewer to tell the difference between the two shows!

Clip: Out of the Blue's airport shooting
Another day, another memorable clip for you to relive from our Youtube channel.
This one shows a dramatic shooting at the airport as Tess tries to escape with the diamonds. It was a great way to bring the diamonds/threatening emails story to a climax and probably the biggest cliffhanger that we'd seen at that point in the show.
Enjoy the clip, and don't forget to pass the links to all of our clips on to your friends if you want them to become Out of the Blue fanatics too.

Clip: Lucia's secrets revealed
Here's another recent clip of Out of the Blue from our Youtube channel. This one shows Lucia's secret relationship being revealed, and she also lets slip a possible clue about Philby's murder.
One of the great things about this clip is how, at first, it seems like an ordinary 'forbidden love' type storyline... but then you get the added sinister twist of what Lucia might know about Philby's death. Out of the Blue always seems to keep you guessing and goes just that bit further than other soaps, constantly keeping viewers on their toes.
Enjoy.

'All My Friends...' airing at Canadian film festival
Sounds like Charlotte Gregg (Tracy O'Donnell) and Ryan Johnson's (Stavva Jones) movie All My Friends Are Leaving Brisbane is getting some attention in Canada.
The 2007 rom-com will be airing at the OzFlix Film Festival in Toronto this weekend.
For more info, see this news report (which names the film as one of the festival's gems), as well as this general info page.
Also see the film's Wikipedia page for details of the movie itself.
Out of the Blue fans have found the movie difficult to get hold of, but it is possible to buy the DVD online. UK buyers should make sure that their DVD players can play other regions first and also bear in mind that it'll cost around £18 when you include postage. Finally, when buying DVDs from other countries, there's always the possibility of being hit by extra customs charges.
Thankfully, watching Aidan Gillett (Daniel McManus) in Home and Away later this month won't be so complicated!

Aidan Gillett and Diane Craig news
Attention all fans of Aidan Gillett!
The man known best to us as Daniel McManus will be seen in Home and Away on Five from Friday, 27th February. His storyline involves the characters of Aden and Joey, played by Todd Lasance and Kate Bell respectively.
Thanks to Sarah on the Facebook group for the info.
Speaking of the McManuses, it seems that Diane Craig (Deborah McManus) is currently appearing in Underbelly: A Tale Of Two Cities on Nine in Australia. She's playing the character of Barbara Mackay (who almost sounds like Deborah living under a half-hearted pseudonym). The show is a massive hit over there, debuting with a massive 2,584,000 viewers last night (Monday) and easily becoming the most watched programme of the day.
Charlie Rose MacLennan, who played Zoe O'Donnell on Out of the Blue, also has a role in Underbelly, but as we can't watch the new series here in the UK yet we're not sure when she'll pop up - if she hasn't already!
We'll keep you posted with any other news we find on Out of the Blue's talented cast members.

Premiere reaction, Aidan and Aussie ratings
- We've been scouring the web trying to find some reactions to the Fiver premiere of Out of the Blue from new viewers. In the interests of fairness we'll include a selection of good and bad from what we've found:
littlelau, Handbag Forum: "Seems a bit boring so far [...] At the moment it doesn't seem like a soap, more like a drama that will turn into a murder mystery."
Slade, Back to the Bay: "Ok, well I watched the first episode and it seemed a bit anticlimatic but it is early days so I'll give it a chance. During the voiceover it was mentioned that one of them was going to be murdered so I look forward to seeing that."
ukdiva23, Digital Spy: "I recorded it because it clashes with Corrie, I don't think Fiver thought it through putting it on head to head with the major soaps like EastEnders and Corrie [...] I quite enjoyed the first episode though, so will definitely continue watching."
Tyleer, Digital Spy: "I really enjoyed it, so will definitely continue to watch it and hope I can really get into it [...] I also agree that they should put it on at an early time to get more viewers but as I can't stand Corrie it doesn't affect me."
It probably is fair to say that the first episode is the least action-packed of the lot, so it will be interesting to see how reactions change as the series progresses.
- Writing on the Facebook group about his stint on Home and Away, Aidan Gillett (Daniel McManus) has confirmed that he will be on-screen in Australia by February 13. Remember that the UK airings are currently two weeks behind those in Aus.
- It looks like Out of the Blue is starting to struggle a bit in the ratings in Australia. The show performed really well during its two-month stint in a 10.30pm slot on Ten - with an estimated average audience of 335,000, and with figures looking set to soon reach 400,000 before being taken out of the slot. These were respectable figures given the episodes were on so late.
Unfortunately, since moving to 6pm on Sundays, those figures have dropped. Two weeks ago the show debuted in its new slot with 170,000 viewers. At the weekend, it had 266,000 viewers - an increase, but still disappointing. Part of the reason for this is that the 6pm Sunday slot was probably the most competitive one the show could have been put in. In Australia, news programmes are always the highest-rated shows of the day, and Out of the Blue was unlucky enough to be put up against two of them - Seven News and Nine News.
To put things in perspective, on Sunday Seven News had 2,000,000 viewers and Nine News had 1,272,000. That's a massive chunk of the available audience watching news shows! Out of the Blue's move to a 5.30pm-6.30pm slot this weekend could possibly address this problem - it'll have a 30-minute advantage over the news shows and will hopefully keep hold of viewers over the hour.
Another issue is that the show could at least build up some momentum in its 4-nights-a-week 10.30pm slot. Such a low number of episodes each week prevents that a little bit.
Whatever happens, the official ratings season has now started in Australia and so Ten will obviously be watching closely to see how the show performs. Maybe the show just needs time to settle into its new slot - after all, it dropped to just over 200,000 at 10.30pm at the start of January before shooting back up to the high 300,000s the week after. We'll keep passing on any info we can find!

Bernard Curry in Home and Away
Bernard Curry, who played Nate Lee in the final few weeks of Out of the Blue, is now playing the character of Hugo Austin in episodes of Home and Away currently airing in Australia. He made his debut in Episode 4777, which is six episodes into the 2009 season.
The 2009 season of Home and Away starts airing on Monday February 2 in the UK, so if our calculations are correct, he'll be on screen in the UK by Tuesday February 10.
In an Australian TV interview, Bernard has confirmed that his character will be on the show for at least a year, so - in the event that a second series of Out of the Blue is commissioned - he would presumably not be returning.
Don't forget that Aidan Gillett, better known as bad boy Daniel McManus, is also appearing on Home and Away soon, but we don't have any firm details yet. It'll be interesting to see if Bernard and Aidan's characters interact much after Nate and Daniel didn't have much to do with each other on Out of the Blue.
