“It was during a little make out scene from when they [Shane and Simone] were younger, we were going down a corridor and we were meant to push into the bedroom and land on the bed, but we both completely missed the bed. We ended up sitting in the emergency room together, he with a bandage around his head and me with my wrist strapped,” Marny was quoted as saying to Australia’s Daily Telegraph.
“It was just Alex and I with our bleached hair, fully still in wardrobe, sitting there surrounded by elderly residents,” she added.
