There’s nothing we love more than a good Offspring daggy dance-off.
And good news! This week the girls are back on the dance floor – and boogying away their love woes.
“We all go out to help Billie get over Mick,” says Asher of the girls’ beeline for the nearest dancefloor. “Nina is at her most stretched – she can hardly put one foot in front of the other, she’s at tears at one point she so tired – but she goes for Billie and pretends it’s great.”
Cue one very funny scene which sees Nina and Billie getting their groove on in the middle of a busy dancefloor, cutting shapes to some great nineties dance classics.
“There’s this lovely scene at the end where we’re very drunkenly and succinctly [talking about] what this love game all means,” says Asher.
“It was really nice to film, actually. There’s some much-needed, and some much-awaited, horrible dancing.”
Realising that Billie is in a bad way, Nina drops everything to be there for her grieving sister.
“She’s desperately trying to be there for Billie,” Asher Keddie tells TV WEEK.
“Her whole world would have collapsed if Billie hadn’t been there to help her through the death of Patrick (Matt Le Nevez). And so for that reason, more than anything, she wants to be there for Billie because she can see how much pain she’s in, and how heartbroken she is.”
But from a personal point of view, the timing couldn’t have been worse.
“She doesn’t know if she can do her job, plus Martin Clegg’s job, and be a mum and in a relationship – we’ve never seen her this stretched before,” says Asher of her character.
Thankfully, at home, things are on a more even keel, with Harry (Alexander England), rising to the occasion, stepping up to help her out with Zoe – Leaving Nina free to go out and boogie up a storm.
