The stars behind Offspring couple Billie and Mick have offered fans a look into the roots of their relationship and a taste of the upcoming season.
Actors Kat Stewart and Eddie Perfect told news.com.au it was their screw up of a sex scene that earned them the role of the real yet not raunchy couple.
“We were so awkward that they just started writing us for comedy instead,” Stewart said.
“They were never going to get that out of us and it’s pretty much held.
“Dave (Whitley, Stewart’s husband) and Lucy (Cochran, Perfect’s wife) have got nothing to worry about — Eddie’s in safe hands with me.”
We can all breathe easy though, because Billie and Mick are still together, according to Stewart.
The series returns on Wednesday June 29 with 18 months having passed since we last saw the Proudman clan.
Stewart previously told The Daily Telegraph her character had been touring with Mick in the implied time between seasons.
"She's been touring with Mick for the past 18 months and she's had a really good time, but there’s that sense she’s ready to put down roots," she said.
"There's something she says in the first episode which is that she wants a life of her own. And I was thinking about it, she was helping Jimmy run a restaurant, helping Nina raise a daughter, helping her dad run a real estate business, helping Mick with his tour. She hasn’t really done her own thing. It’s a really big driver for Billie this series to find her own way.”
