Neighbours actress pleased by Brits

Aussie soap star Imogen Bailey - aka Neighbours' Nicola West - was recently in the UK for a promotional tour, and was overwhelmed by the positive response she got from fans.

"I felt really proud to be part of something that is so loved," Bailey told the Herald Sun.

"I had a little girl run up to me at the airport in Scotland shouting: 'Nicola, Nicola'. She was so excited to meet me, and that was a wonderful feeling.

"I had more than a few proud Aussie and Neighbours moments in London.

"My being there made the news, which just goes to show how big [the soap] still is over there."
Although British fans may adore her character at the moment, we've yet to see Nicola take a turn for the sinister.

"All actors love to play characters that people have strong feelings towards," she said.
"If you are able to evoke passion from a viewer, even if it takes the shape of hate, then you know you are affecting your audience.

"I actually had a lady approach me in the street and say: 'You're doing a great job, because I hate Nicola's guts'. That was a happy day for me."
