“It’s just such a massive honour for someone to say that to you.”
Star of the soap opera Home and Away Jacqui Purvis recently shared an emotional scene from the massive car catastrophe that was filmed.
On the day of Felicity and Tane’s wedding, there was a massive pile-up on Tuesday’s episode (January 10) in Australia, and Eden’s life was in danger after a major accident.
In an interview with Yahoo Lifestyle, Purvis, who plays Felicity, discussed shooting the tough sequences and revealed that she experienced an emotional moment with the real paramedics who took part in the shoot.
“With one of the paramedics, I experienced the most amazing moment. He approached me and expressed how moved he was by the event, she recalled.
He genuinely broke down in tears because he had gone through an almost identical scenario before. To have someone say that to you is just such a huge honor. It was incredibly special, and a lot of different emotions were present.
The actress, who started working on the soap in 2021, went on to talk about her time on set, saying that it was both “frightening” and a “blessing” for any actor to be able to portray the scenes.
“It’s a moment that you never usually have in everyday life, so being able to film such crazy scenes is just a blessing for an actor,” she said.
“They’d have massive flames coming up, and I was in the car, there’s flames everywhere. It was so strong that [I was] in the car, [but I could] feel the heat. I honestly didn’t need to act, it was so scary and so surreal.”
The crash, which was caused by an associate of Tex Wheeler tampering with the brakes, saw Justin and Leah collide with Eden and Felicity, with Justin subsequently being blamed for the incident.
Will the police uncover the biker gang’s plot, or will Justin continue to take the fall?
