995 - In 2008 Gemma Merna (Carmel) admitted she felt the show is underrated. Quote:
"We are completely underrated as a show, which is so frustrating. People just think we are gorgeous models who have nothing else to offer. But the truth is we have some seriously talented actors and we're fed up with being the little sister to Corrie, EastEnders and Emmerdale. We're fighters and we're so passionate about what we do. We have the balls and just go for it. And I think we should get credit for that"
