Charlotte Gregg in Packed To The Rafters

Charlotte Gregg (Tracy O'Donnell) is the latest Out of the Blue star to land a high-profile role on Australian television.

She'll be making a guest appearance in the next episode of hit comedy show Packed To The Rafters, which airs on the Seven network on Tuesday.

The news was revealed on Twitter by Charlotte's partner, Australian Idol winner Wes Carr. Apparently they'll both be "in the middle of Australia somewhere" when the episode airs, so they're looking for someone to tape it for them.

Meanwhile, Wes also used Twitter to plug this Sunday's episode of Out of the Blue, which sees the murderer finally revealed.

Wes Carr's Fearless video

You've seen the trailer, but now watch the full video for Wes Carr's new song Fearless, which features some of your favourite Out of the Blue cast members...



You can also go behind the scenes to the making of the video. Wes thanks Ryan Johnson (Stavva Jones), Clayton Watson (Jarrod O'Donnell) and his girlfriend Charlotte Gregg (Tracy O'Donnell) at the end of this clip...

Cast reunite in Wes Carr video

It's always great to hear about what the Out of the Blue cast are up to these days, but the latest update is particularly exciting as it sees many of the gang involved in the same thing!

Yep, Australian Idol winner Wes Carr has some special recruits for the video to his new song Fearless. Alongside his partner Charlotte Gregg (Tracy O'Donnell), Ryan Johnson (Stavva Jones), Clayton Watson (Jarrod O'Donnell) and Sophie Katinis (Gabby West) also appear.

The full video hasn't been released yet, but Youtube has a 30-second trailer in which both Ryan and Clayton can be seen. Watch it below:



More good news is that the video has given the show its first mainstream media mention for months. In an article headlined "Wes Carr rings in the favours", The Daily Telegraph writes:

"Vince Colosimo, Pia Miranda and Matt Newton all appear in the clip, as does Carr's actress girlfriend Charlotte Gregg.

"Gregg is best known for appearing on Ten's series Out Of The Blue, and many of the cast can be seen in the clip, including Clayton Watson, Sophie Katinis and Ryan Johnson."

We'll let you know when we find the full video.

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.

Gyton Grantley gets Logie nods

Congratulations to Gyton Grantley, who's picked up two Logie Award nominations in Australia. His role as Carl Williams in Underbelly has earned him recognition in the Most Popular Actor and Most Outstanding Actor categories.

What has this got to do with Out of the Blue, you might ask? Well, Gyton played Alex, the geeky reunion video guy, in the first few weeks of the show's run.

Prior to Underbelly, Gyton played the role of Dane Pickerstaff in Headland, which also starred Sophie Katinis and Adrienne Pickering - best known to us as Gabby West and Detective Christine Taylor.

In 2007, he appeared alongside Ryan Johnson (Stavva Jones) and Charlotte Gregg (Tracy O'Donnell) in the movie All My Friends Are Leaving Brisbane.

If that's not enough, he also used to date Charlotte!

Talk about a small world! Since Gyton appeared to know half the cast and is such a popular actor, it's a shame that he wasn't able to appear in more episodes.

Charlotte Gregg gossip

It's not often that you see the Out of the Blue cast in the gossip pages, but ever since her partner Wes Carr won Australian Idol last year, Charlotte Gregg (Tracy O'Donnell) has been the exception.

Yesterday, the Courier Mail newspaper found time to tell its readers that Charlotte and Wes are hunting for a new home. Apparently they were spotted looking at a one-bedroom flat worth $450,000. Sadly, the newspaper forgot to put a plug for Out of the Blue alongside its gossip.

Meanwhile, the newspaper is also reporting that the ratings success of Underbelly: A Tale Of Two Cities (which has Diane Craig among its cast) and Packed To The Rafters shows that Aussies are turning back to home-produced drama rather than reality TV.

With its talented cast and compelling scripts, it's a shame that Out of the Blue hasn't yet been given a proper chance to be one of the success stories...

'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!
