Sadly Simon doesn't seem to receive the adulation by the British media that he experiences in France so I'm not holding my breath with regard to many airport pics! Hopefully we'll get a few photos (and maybe an interview?) at Ascot though! I'd love to see him presenting a prize! Keeping my fingers crossed! |

I thought they'd interview Damian Lewis but they didn't, so am feeling less hopeful now about a Simon interview. I think he will present a prize, but whether or not Channel 4 will show it???

I'm beginning to feel that just a brief glimpse of Simon in top hat and tails would be nice. Although he probably wouldn't be comfortable wearing it!  |

From E Street to Ross St
EVER wonder what soapie stars do when their soapie gets axed? They appear on other soapies.
Tomorrow night’s episode of GP (ABC, 8.30pm) features spunky Simon Denny, best known as Sam in the now-defunct E-Street, as Bill Miller, a supertanker mechanic who has to confront his own future when his father is diagnosed with a hereditary mental disorder.
Frank Miller (Terry Gill) has been irrational, temperamental, nervy and he suffers from back pain. He has been unemployed for some months, which appears to be putting pressure on him.
After some tests, Dr Steve Harrison (Michael O'Neill) diagnoses Huntington’s Chorea, a debilitating and degenerative nervous disorder.
Although Frank is relieved to know he’s not going mad, Bill must come to the realisation that he too could suffer from this disease, as could any children he may one day have.
Denny puts on a fine performance, showing that he’s more than a pretty face, but it is Gill that steals most scenes.
Meanwhile, Dr Steve’s teacher-wife, Su Lin (Teresa Wong), is feeling left out – she is sick of her feelings and her job taking second place to Steve’s patients.
A harmless flirtation with a colleague, Geoff Hardy (Lewis Fitzgerald) goes a bit too far and Su Lin is forced to consider the importance of her marriage.
Not one of the best episodes of GP this year (that honour goes to the one a couple of weeks ago when Zoe’s first love, Gaitano, died from cancer) but far from a dud.

Home from home
By NICOLE LEEDHAM
SINCE the demise of E Street, Simon Baker Denny seems to be popping up all over the place – A Country Practice, GP and now Home and Away.
Denny’s eight-week stint on the popular Prime soap began on Friday, when he appeared as James Healy and stole the heart of Roxy (Lisa Lackey).
“We have a passionate, romantic affair, then I leave - one of those seen it before, done it before kind of things, "Denny told The Guide.
The timing of the role was perfect for Denny, 23, who’s been kept busy over the past few months with the birth of his daughter, Stella Breeze, and revelling in family life with Stella’s mother, actress Rebecca Rigg.
"They offered me a part earlier in the year but I wasn’t available,” he said.
“This one came up at the right time and I said ‘sure, no problem’.
"The baby was the main reason I wasn’t working so much.”
Although Denny shot to stardom as the affable cop, Sam Farrell, in E Street he hasn’t let success get in the way of his family.
“Being an actor, you have to maintain a sane, secure home because you get so many knocks. You’re always under the microscope when you’re working.
"You need a secure home and a loving relationship and your career comes second.”
The eight-week Home and Away stint is perfect for Denny because it is long enough to get involved in the character (and pay some bills), but short enough to avoid type-casting problems.
And the future?
“There’s a few things in the air but I feel like I kind of curse myself if I talk about them,” he said.
“I never believe in anything until I’m actually on the set.”

Thanks Ivana, nice little interview from The Canberra Times. I assume the photo with the GP article is from E Street, looks like he's wearing his police jumper. |

How do you do? Simon Baker does his best to impress as he transforms into a proper British gent to tread Royal Ascot's turf in a swish top hat and tails

Thanks Ivana for the articles. What is it with the Daily Mail , in particular, they always get some facts wrong don't they! you would think they would check details before they print. Laughable really. |

Simon's appearance at Royal Ascot also turned up in photo galleries on the following websites:
People Magazine (www.people.com)
15 Handsome Gents in Top Hats at Royal Ascot
and
E! Entertainment (www.eonline.com)
Royal Ascot: Best in Hats!
Unfortunately, no photos that we haven't already seen but in People Magazine he's in a photo gallery with Prince Harry and on E! he's in a photo gallery with Queen Elizabeth! Not too shabby ..........
