Brilliant, she totally deserves it. Has anyone else seen this clip of her being interviewed afterwards?

Debra Lawrance looks great with blonde hair, I wonder why she didn't dye it blonde when she took over from Vanessa Downing in 1990

She didn't want to?

I agree she does look good with blonde hair but her natural reddish brown hair colour was nice too so I don't blame her for keeping it.

Yes she speaks so fondly and respectfully of the show while politely saying she doesn't see herself returning. Interesting that 7 wanted to make Pippa look more glamarous and she fought to keep her kind of frumpy which is more realistic for such a character.

Pippa's daughter could make an appearance one day, that would be interesting.

Yes at least she has fond feelings for what help her career. and her honesty is welcomed.

Very well-deserved! Please Like Me is a national treasure of a show and I'm so please Debra and the series both won .

What's interesting to me about the all the nominations/winners this year is that the vast majority of the Best New Talent/Actor/Actress's came from series with shorter seasons. For example, Please Like Me only has 6 episodes in a series, compared to H&A which runs for most of the year. I definitely think the trend of favouring short-lived shows is going to continue. The era of being able to binge-watch-fall-in-love with shows has started, and I don't know if H&A can really compare with that in terms of popularity. Or at least, the popularity that wins these kinds of awards.

Yes however with such a short season its hard to see it end. The Same with others like Upper Middle Bogan and Lowdown a few years ago.

I agree with you yet both H&A and Neighbours will remain I think its easier to write and create better stories when you have only a small season.No wonder they have bad writing anymore on the long running shows.

Yes her natural red was lovely. However if she ever came back for a visit/celebration Pippa would be blonde again. There would hopefully be a reference to the fact she is blonde again and why she suddenly changed hair colours all those years ago. (A comical reference to the recast)

Actresses change hair color all the time for roles. NO problem there.
