Congratulations to Gyton Grantley, who won the Most Outstanding Actor award at the Logies in Australia on Sunday night. He scored the gong for his role as Carl Williams on Underbelly.
In case you don't remember, he played the small part of Alex, the geeky reunion video guy, in the early episodes of Out of the Blue. He's also worked with various cast members in the past on other projects.
Meanwhile, Sunday also meant the usual once-a-week scrap of Out of the Blue for the show's Australian fans. Episode 51, which featured Marcus scheming against Poppy and Peta, and Jarrod appearing to shoot Tiger, was watched by 267,000 viewers. That's a rise of 38,000 from last week but still, sadly, nothing to be proud of...

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.

Kate Ritchie praises Charlie-Rose MacLennan
Charlie-Rose MacLennan, who played Zoe O'Donnell in Out of the Blue, has received praise from an Aussie soap legend this week.
Kate Ritchie - who played Home and Away's Sally Fletcher for 20 years - worked with Charlie-Rose on the new series of Underbelly, playing her mother.
In an interview with Australia's TV Week magazine, Kate said: "The young actors who play my character's kids, Charlie-Rose MacLennan and little Harry Ikimis Healy, are so sweet and they were incredible, considering the stories we were filming."
Charlie-Rose spoke about her role in a recent interview with The Soap Show website. You can read it here.
The ratings for Underbelly, which also stars Diane Craig (Deborah McManus) are still well over the elusive 2 million mark in Australia.

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.
