Neighbours stars share real-life friendship after on-screen row
Sally-Anne Upton and Robyn Arthur have a longstanding friendship.
Neighbours stars Sally-Anne Upton and Robyn Arthur have shared their real-life friendship after their characters clashed on screen.
Sally-Anne's character Vera Punt recently moved into the retirement complex Eirini Rising after leaving her house share with Byron Stone, Sadie Rodwell and Max Ramsay Jr.
However, she's already been branded a troublemaker and gossip by her new fellow residents, and clashed this week with Robyn's character Moira Tohu.
Despite what appears on screen, the two stars are good friends in real life. Neighbours shared a sweet behind-the-scenes Instagram video of Sally-Anne and Robyn together today.
"Look who you meet on Neighbours," Sally-Anne declared. "It's my old friend Robyn Arthur. We've known each other for years, haven't we darling?"
"Years and years, decades!" Robyn added, before Sally-Anne revealed how she first crossed paths with her co-star many years ago at a theatre venue in Melbourne.
"The first time I met this woman, it was at Chapel of Chapel," she recalled. "She was up on stage singing like a songbird, and I thought, 'That voice is sensational. I've got to know the woman behind that voice'. And we've been friends ever since."
"We have, we sure have," Robyn echoed, saying they were having "the best time ever" working together on Neighbours.
"It's brilliant for a 71-year-old, I can tell you right now," she added, before Sally-Anne quipped: "I'm in my 60s, I'm not in my 70s."
"She's the young one," Robyn joked, as her co-star added: "She's the old one."
