Kissing Dan keeps Kym in Erinsborough

Be my Valentine

Being able to kiss Dan Paris on a regular basis was one of the reasons Kym Valentine decided it was a good idea to stay living in Ramsay Street. Dan, a former model and athlete who plays Kym's fiance Drew on the show, made a welcome change from the middle-aged married university lecture that Kym's character Libby previously dated

At one stage last year the long-time Neighbours star was considering waving goodbye to the residents of Erinsborough for good. After all, she had played good girl Libby Kennedy for more than five years at the stage and there wasn't much more scope for Libby to develop.

Until Dan arrived and the love affair between his character Drew and Libby hotted up. "I must admit kissing some of the people who Libby has fallen in love with has been horrible," laughs Kym. "But Dan is lovely. All my girlfriends are so jealous that I get to kiss him."

Although finding herself in passionate clinches with Dan is a bonus, it was Libby's heart-wrenching storyline over the past few months that kept Kym coming back to Erinsborough for another year. "I couldn't come so far with Libby and not complete the journey. It was such a great storyline and it's far from the end of it yet."

After discovering she couldn't have children, Libby forced Drew away, but their love proved too strong and the pair is soon to be reunited on our screens. "There are all the wedding plans to worry about now and there's a lot more in store for Libby and Drew. But it's someone else's turn to have the heartache and problems for a change," says Kym, hinting we may see Libby at the altar after all. "I can at last go to work and be happy instead of having to cry all day."

But Ramsay Street may soon have to take a back seat- Kym admits her partner of three years is getting itchy feet and has asked his live-in ladylove to throw off the shackles of work and travel the world with him. "I keep saying next year, but it never comes," says Kym. "That's what I'll be doing- traveling- when I do leave Neighbours but that's not in the near future. It might be his turn to go and do what he wants while I wait at home."
