Our Miracle Baby |
|
For any young married couples, establishing a home
and having a child or two are high among their hopes for the future. Drew Kirk
and Libby Kennedy are no different- but when Libby discovers she is pregnant in
this weeks episodes of Neighbours ,it's not entirely a cause for celebration. TV
Week caught up with Dan Paris and Kym Valentine, who play the duo, and
discovered why the news is greeted with excitement and fear.
Not careful enough, however. Doctors will confirm Libby is expecting. "Drew is torn between two emotions- happiness and concern," Dan says. "He's overjoyed at the thought of having a child, but his most dominant concern is for Libby's health. He knows that she could haemorrhage while giving birth, and the last thing he wants is to sacrifice her life and possibly the child's." Surprisingly, Libby's reaction is the complete opposite. "Libby thinks it's a miracle baby and is meant to be," Kym reveals. "She's not at all fazed by it. In fact, there's a calmness about her. She knows there are risks and she'll have to take care of herself, but she's confident it will all turn out fine in the end." As viewers will see, it's much harder for Drew to relax and enjoy the moment. "He'll never relax- he's in for nine months of turmoil!/; Dan says. "But that makes it interesting for viewers. It would be no fun if everything went to plan."
Dan gives a more cryptic response to the issue of real-life parenthood. "I made my decision a long time ago about kids, and it still stands," he says. "But I'm sure Kym will be a great mum." For Kym, Libby's pregnancy means saying goodbye to her super-slim figure. "I don't know if I'm looking forward to wearing the padding or not," she admits. "It will be fun at first, but then I'll get on the set and realize it's uncomfortable. The only good thing is that we're not filming the scenes in summer, because I'd probably get very hot and cranky!" Source: TV Week, 2001 |

"Libby was involved in a motorcycle accident
last year- and as a result of her injuries, doctors told her it would be very
dangerous for her to carry a child," explains Kym, referring to the most
heart-rending Ramsay Street storyline of 2000. "She could bleed to death,
so even though they want kids, they've been careful not to conceive."
Libby's pregnancy is likely to be a rough ride,
but it hasn't put Kym off the idea of motherhood in real life. "I am the
cluckiest person in the world, so it's kind of good and bad to play this
storyline," she admits. "I actually thought it would get some of the
cluckiness out of my system, but putting myself in the situation has made me
more clucky! I can't get pregnant for real, though. I've done the mathematics,
and if I did I would be at my fattest when Libby has had the baby and is going
back to her normal size. It would throw the whole storyline!"
