If you thought you went through enough emotional trauma through the first few seasons, get your tissues out again. Because according to Offspring’s Executive Producer, the newest season of the much-loved show promises to bring even more emotion to your television screen.
In an interview with the Daily Telegraph at the weekend, Imogen Banks told viewers to “bring everything, bring it all” when they sit down to watch the new season, promising all the emotion and drama the show is so well-known for.
Banks also told the paper that it was “fun” to get the crew back together after taking a hiatus for two years.
“From the first read through, just to hear all those voices again was wonderful. When we did actually all get together it turned out to be incredibly fun,” she said.
Upon confirming the cast and crew have all sat down and previewed the first episode of the next season already, Banks boasted that so far it is "as we'd want".
Earlier this month the show released a trailer for season six, picking up 18 months on from where they left off and where Nina's (Asher Keddie) baby, Zoe, is two-and-half years old.
However, there has been little word yet as to what kind of emotional turmoil will rock the Proudmans (and keen audience members) with many suggesting that perhaps the relationship between Nina and Leo will be short-lived. In fact, one of those people has been Asher Keddie herself.
When the show was initially announced, Keddie hinted that her character was dissatisfied with some of the relationships in her life and they were due for a shake-up.
"I feel really energised by the story ideas — there are some rippers," she said.
"It (relationship with Leo) was another stage in Nina's life… but I never felt 100 per cent sure that it was the be-all and end-all," she said.
At the same time Network Ten Chief Programming Officer, Beverley McGarvey, also hinted that there was more ups and downs for Nina to navigate.
"There are so many more chapters left in Nina's life. We paused her story just as she had bravely navigated motherhood as a single parent rediscovering the joy and romance of life, while dealing with her fabulously messy family as they went about their unpredictable daily lives."
At this stage, your guess is as good as mine as to why we'd possibly need to bring the tissues out as soon as the series hits our screens.
But my goodness we have one request: No more death. Nobody else is allowed to die.
