3. Kirsty Sutherland/ Phillips (2000- )
Played by Christie Hayes
There are so many things I like about Kirsty,
but the main factors are that she is a complex
character and always changes, which makes her
interesting.
Just in the last year (2004) she has developed
from a school-girl to a grown-up, and still
manages to do it convincingly, i.e. the development
hasn’t been rushed or sudden, it’s been all
natural.But it isn’t just the “new Kirsty”
I like, I like all “Kirsty’s”, (if you could
put it like that), although she is very different
from when she first joined the show in 2000
to the Kirsty we see today. But that’s for me
the beauty of the character, she has gone through
so many phases, she’s one of those still-standing
characters, which can get boring after a while..
No, Kirsty has always been interesting, not
always the nicest, but still, I never thought
of her as a girl without her loved ones best
interests at heart.
That’s also a thing I like about Kirsty,
she’s not always the perfect daughter, sister
or girlfriend, but still I warm to her, she
means well, she just gets a bit carried away
sometimes. And that’s a great thing about her,
she’s not perfect, she makes mistakes, as we
all do. (And it makes great television!)
I also feel the character of Kirsty has been
misunderstood, many people feel she’s not loyal
to her family and selfish, but on the contrary,
I think she’s is loyal to her family. She’s
faced some tough choices, but pulled through!
