Melissa George Is Perfectly Okay With Her Latest Lady Loving Role
It seems like just yesterday Angel was capturing the eye of Shane for the first time while Frente played at the Surf Club, but in actual fact it’s been about three hundred years and Melissa George has come a long way since her break out role on Home & Away.
She’s joined the cast of Grey’s Anatomy where she’ll be portraying a bi-sexual hospital type who catches the eye of Callie, and Melissa has informed reporters she’s totally cool with “going there” with another actress. And why wouldn’t she be? It’s not the first time.
The former Home And Away star plays a bisexual surgical intern, Sadie, the potential love interest for lesbian medic Callie Torres.
“[Grey's Anatomy] is such a big break for me,” George told The Sun-Herald. “I played a lesbian nanny in Friends so I’m very comfortable with it.”
Right on, sister! After all, it’s just nice to be employed.
George, 32, is happy to have a regular gig on a major network after her action series, Alias, was cancelled in 2005. For years George was regarded as the Australian actress who couldn’t get a break in Hollywood, filming a number of pilot programs which were never picked up.
Thankfully that time has passed… unless Grey’s Anatomy gets axed, but I don’t see that happening anytime soon.
This is also interesting:
Grey’s Anatomy is her biggest US television series to date but she also has a film role on the go – the thriller Triangle, with former McLeod’s Daughters star Rachael Carpani and American actress Holly Marie Combs.
Rachael Carpani! Good to see she’s moved on from Telstra commercials, or whatever it is she left McLeod’s Daughters to pursue. Well done, Australian bitches! You go, girls! (finger clicks, etc)
