Sky's Obsession
Stephanie McIntosh
Neighbours Stephanie McIntosh
Sky's quirkiness really comes to the fore, when she decides to put a fan club together for forgotten screen actress Virginia Weidler. Her obsession also causes her to rope in an extremely unenthusiastic Boyd.
Stephanie McIntosh who plays Sky explained why she thinks that Sky has grabbed on to such an obscure idol.
"I don't think it's because it's Virginia Weidler," said Stephanie. "I think that when Sky has an obsession, or loves somebody or idolises them, she takes it to the full capacity. Virgina Wiedler really appeals to her, because Sky really admires how well she's done and how many movies she's starred in as such a young kid, She has a lot of credit to her name. She also has that alternative side to her, similar to Sky."
As many Neighbours fans may be unfamiliar with the name Virginia Weidler, Stephanie was kind enough to elaborate with some information on the screen star.
"Virgina Wiedler is like a Shirley Temple," Stephanie explained. "She was a child star and she has done more films that you could probably poke a stick at. Nobody has really heard about her, but she was huge in the 50s. I had to look her up myself. I found heaps on the Internet about her. I have to give her credit like Sky. She has done so much."
When asked whether she has ever been obsessed by a celebrity, Stephanie answered,
"I don't think I have been as fanatic as Sky, by putting a fan group together, but I have definitely admired a lot of people and I have gone through the obsessions with heaps of people," she said. "At the moment I love Julia Roberts and Reece Witherspoon, but I'd never form a fan club for them or anything. I just admire them for their talent."
Don't miss the trouble that Sky's new obsession stirs up between her and Boyd. Sparks will fly.
