<KateRitch> Do you use the internet much?
*** DaveyC has quit IRC (Leaving)
<KateRitch>  V_Man: Not a lot, that's why I enjoy doing these 
  chats - it's good experience!
<KateRitch> <Noodles> are you close with any other cast members?
<KateRitch> Noodles: Yeah, you become quite good friends with a 
  lot of them. At this stage my best buddy on set is Emily 
  Symons, who plays Marilyn.
<KateRitch> <kss> Would you ever get to a point where you would 
  stop acting and think about doing something else?
<KateRitch> kss: It's not the actor's choice that they get so 
  much attention. I wish that people would see what i do as a 
  normal job.
-> *#Questions* Whats your schedule like ?
<KateRitch> kss: Yes, all the time. I often think what I would 
  be doing if I hadn't got this job. I'd love to do 
  architecture or some kind of design.

<KateRitch> <andy> Where abouts is H&A filmed?
<KateRitch>  andy: Our main location is Palm Beach, Sydney, but 
  we film all over the place.
<KateRitch> <Slayer23> [do you expect to leave the show in the 
  near future?]

  think I would still be here, so who knows?
<KateRitch> <Alf> How far ahead of screening dates is H&A 
  filmed?
<KateRitch>  Alf: ABout eight weeks.
*** V_Man has quit IRC (Excess Flood)
<KateRitch> <kss> Would you ever get to a point where you would 
  stop acting and think about doing something else?
<KateRitch> kss: Yes, but as of yet I haven't had to face that. 
  It's just the chance you take for doing something that you 
  enjoy.
