“And he used to go around and nick all my cheat sheets.”
She revealed Ray would often look very impressed and smug with himself after stealing her hidden cheat sheets.
Despite Ray’s little pranks, Emily still assured that “he’s a delight” and “a very dear friend” to the cast and crew on the television series.
Ray has been on the show for over three decades.

“Since the dirt’s being dished, I could say Emily and I go back a long way. We’ve had a very long friendship. In fact, I’ve been at all your weddings,” they all laughed.
It’s no secret that Emily has been married twice, meanwhile her character – the loveable hairdresser – has been married three times.
“Well, I can’t say the same about yours,” she responded. “Seeing as you had that secret one, but. Yes, yes, he has.
“We’ve been through births, deaths and marriages. All of it. Yes,” she concluded.
In an exclusive interview with TV WEEK, Ray revealed his love for the cast and crew were the reason he stayed on the show for the previous 34 years.
“I hadn’t been at home regularly for a while and I thought, ‘Jeez, it’s nice to be in my own bed again.’
“[But] the basic crew of Home And Away – some of them are still here – were just absolutely fantastic.”
