The idea that she was pressured to move to the US is going to make her sound more sympathetic than "she's sick of Australia and being on a show that a lot of people really like" (not that I'm suggesting this is what Jess is thinking).

That makes a lot of sense, actually.
I mean, her Australian fans have allowed her to have the kind of career she's had. And she definitely doesn't want to alienate them.

And I love that pic. Girl is just too gorgeous for words.

New photoshoot from InStyle Australia (March 2011)

She looks gorgeous.

My favorite is that 3rd to last pic.

Hopefully the buzz around her right now in Australia will translate well when she makes the move to the US.

sprezzatura · 03-04-2011, 06:44 AM

I hope so too

She deserves all the sucess and praise that she has gained.

And, really, I'd like to see at least one person from that cast just break out and do great things. Especially one of the Aussie cast members.

Yes, I agree. The Aussie cast that were in the show definitely showed their potential in the craft. And hopefully like Tabrett, Jessica will get an American aired series soon enough. To start integrating herself if she still wants to work over there.

Burn Our History · 03-06-2011, 02:28 PM

Now, what is the show Jess has been on for awhile classified is?
It sounds like it's a sitcom meets a soap opera, but I could be wrong.

sprezzatura · 03-09-2011, 08:42 AM

It's called 'Packed to the Rafters'.
I think you've got the genres right because I tumblred it one night and a major character had just died.

I wonder how the work she has done in Austrailia will impact the kind of work she's done here.

Like...here, there is a different between film, tv, and soap operas. Most actors don't work their way up. I can only think of one star who's recently done all three, and that's James Franco.

So if just is doing a soap/sitcom now, I wonder if that will make her more or less appealing for roles outside soaps or tv here?

I don't think it will make any difference really; US casting people don't care about work done outside the US. Anyway, soaps in Australia are not like US daytime soaps- they air in prime-time and tend to have higher production values and somewhat less ridiculous plots. It's not as big a leap to go from appearing on them to "quality" shows. In any case, the show Jessica was on is not really a soap as such, it's a comedy/drama a bit like "Brothers and Sisters" or "Parenthood".

A lot of Aussies working in Hollywood now have started on soaps: Isla Fisher, Ryan Kwanten, Liam & Chris Hemsworth, Melissa George, and of course our beloved Craig

Hopefully Jessica will have the same luck that they have.

I really don't see her as having a huge problem, because she's got the look and the talent. I know it doesn't make her a shoe-in for roles but it certainly doesn't hurt.

Wow!!!

She is gorgeous!
