Screentalk Interview with Lisa Chappell

[@japrillers2824]

Lisa Chappell was just so amazing in Mcleods daughters the show is not the same without her 😭❤

[@bedetteb1111]

Hello from Canada! I cried so much when Claire died. My husband had to hold me. I didn’t see it coming. I never got over it. I still miss her. I’m now watching season 6 and all the original actors are gone.... not sure I can put myself through the rest of the seasons. Love Australian actors, they are much more authentic and they can naturally draw you in to the story. Much better than Hollywood actors.

I absolutely LOVED Lisa on Mcleod's.!! Cried my heart out when Claire died, it felt like a best friend/close family member died.. Season 1 - 3 are my absolute fav's :).

[@lpsalpha1657]

[@deeharper665]

[@debbieswanson6057]

So wanted Alex to give her that ring! If only he had not misplaced it the day before...Really excellent acting in Mcleods Daughters,very authentic! It was easy to get addicted to the series!

[@DollyStreep]

She left because she wanted to make music! And if you ask me, she did a great job on that! ((: Sad she left McLeods...

[@yagmuysu]

I used to watch McLeod's daughters when I was 7 years old. I loved it and watched it everyday, each morning here in Turkey. now I'm 14 and now thanks to the internet I can watch it again!!!! =)

I love Lisa Chappell , i met her ( through TV ) thanks to Mc Leod's daughters role she played ! I don't know she had to "die" but since she did that series wasn't the same anymore ! If by any chance she comes around and see the comment section and find this one all i have to say is this : Lisa you are so beautiful for your face , your eyes , your smile and your character , gal don't worry about nothing , you are extraordinary a true gem among actors !!! If you were single i would propose to ya in a heartbeat !!!! The Greek fella !

[@lisaechols7895]

Great interview! I live in America, and only available to McCleod’s Daughters. Would love to see your other works! I’m sure they’re awesome! Love Claire, still cry every time I see that scene!

[@TheGreyghost63]

From a 70 YO American male who has just found McLeod's Daughters and Lisa - I am totally enthralled and can't get the DVDs from Netflix fast enough. I just bought your album and the music from the 1st season - HELLO - I love you, your acting and your singing. TheGreyghost63

[@TheKatifee]

[@19Natascha]

I love her humor! :D She's so...so..I don't know...so.. normal and also so special. Like everyone else and on the other side she isn't... I just love her!

[@xBeasted]

I totally agree. I love her so much.

[@megamovieman101]

Her brilliant roles in Hercules as Dirce and Melissa Blake brought me here 😂

[@Fiawordweaver]

USA -this has been my go to series from the first showing in the US. I WISH THE PRODUCERS HAD REACHED OUT TO US FANS. MAYBE just maybe we could have given input to the script story line. I got so disappointed when Lisa Chappell left the show. It still makes me cry especially during this pandemic. This was such a family connection type show. Not many, 800 words, Bed of Roses, but nothing holds a candle to this show that empowers women. Plus the Napier’s leaving. I loved both their characters. But nobody asks the audience. I would have provided a script rewrite to convince the Claire character to stay have children with Alex, and complete them with being a loving functional family. I loved the character Stevie but a different story line for her could have been Alex’s brother from the ponce suit father. Plus the original Mrs Ryan. She was just coming around. The evil new girlfriend wife of Harry’s was so disbelieve-able as his choice for a partner. She’s a terrific actress and nailed it that role, but. WHY? She still could have been written in as a nemesis colluding with the speed dial rancher that had a road named after him. It just had so much more potential to be a life long classic. I don’t watch past Chappell leaving the show. I got aggravated with their reunion when all the original cast that I fell in love with weren’t there. Reading this a person could say get a life but from a creative point of view, you hit gold and turned into silver. There’s just so much injustice and sorrow in real life that you crave entertainment that brings you joy. There are so many blow up the cars, serial killer mysteries, too real to the news entertainment. I want go back in the past to rewrite your scripts, tell Chappell and the Napiers to just stay a little longer. As they look back, were their careers much better for leaving the show? The crummy reality is that the people responsible for this shows creation will probably never read my thoughts. Not one American show could hold a candle to the powerful message this series showcased for women. Putting some aboriginal women in as drovers owning their own land and being close to the McLeod daughters would have really hit the mark to show that we can rise above racism. It will be the women that lead the way. So that’s a bit of my input, a day late and a dollar short. Another production from the down under that stole my heart was the movie, Australia. Nullah, Brandon Walters was the movie. In summary once those actors mentioned chose to leave the show prematurely it really broke many hearts, not just mine, illustrated in many comments. That’s how good this series was, it really touched the heart and then broke into pieces. My biological family did shatter my heart and soul. I know that is what is behind me not wanting to see that extreme heartbreak in a series with so much potential to create the magic of happiness. The magic that good overcomes evil. The magic. This series HAD the strong potential to deliver the organic magic. Now I play out the scenes in my imagination and as I said I continue to watch and rewatch until Chappell leaves the show. Killing her was like losing someone so very dear. I have lost five really beautiful people from my 30’s. That doesn’t include the pandemic, where your heart goes out to all the families that lost loved ones because the USA was run by the most corrupt puppet president in American history and the usual top 3 % wealthy having the best time of their driven lives. These are such very disturbing times in this country. I don’t even want to address the international atrocities and genocides. Your wholesome series was therapeutic, medicinal and could have been so incredibly more bursting with magic. The end.

@Kauffrau4 Well, I love Claire. She’s a great girl. I suppose she was written very heroically and what I tried to do was bring her down a peg or two. And really work on her flaws, which was the fact that she was emotionally dysfunctional, having grown up in a really tough men’s world. And because we were shooting on location, I could get a sense of what that was like. I used my head animal wrangler, Bill, as my inspiration for her father and for her really.

[@pennyemotionalheart558]

AnnetteWarren why she says she was emotionally dysfunctional?

[@MCedelweiss]

She looks like Hollywood actress Sela Ward

[@barb2435]

my god what a beautiful ,,talented,,person you are ,,,,,thank you,,,,,

[@lpsalpha1657]

That is so true

[@xxMaddish]

echt klasse. :D ich finde sie spricht klar und deutlich. (: schön kann man gut alles verstehen.

[@Leusa10]

that video is great. NZONSCREEN: Could you write to me please briefly in sting points what she says about her role in 'Mc Leods Daughters'? Because i'm so intrested in her, but i can't understand all her words ): because i'm a german-girl. PLEASE - or a other one can do this for me ?! (:

[@ElenaS55]

I very love Lisa.

[@AnnetteWarren]

@Kauffrau4 And a bit of my own dad. I did not model her after any women at all because she wasn’t in touch with her femininity at all when we first met. And she was just… she had a really good heart. She really went for the underdog. So we had those two things I think in common. But I just really enjoyed messing her up, you know.

[@kratzburstehannahmariemonr1823]

I miss u guys so much

[@Wanderlust_Adventures]

still cant believe she left Mcleods for stingers

[@Jippyajee]

Lisaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Love you

[@Jippyajee]

ll Love her

[@matthewcastorena4829]

Omg yes

[@AnnetteWarren]

@Kauffrau4 Trying to make her a dislikable as possible because she really was written like a hero and I think she is a hero but I think she was more interesting for showing her vulnerability and her flaws and her walls and all of that.

[@anrickcharlie7273]

[@Fiawordweaver]

It was written that she left for a singing career during my lead daughters. Why did you leave the show? It wrecked it. You and Alex of McLead daughters ruined the show

[@yatoswag]

I liked her most the time...cried Buckets when claire died qwq but in general...as great as the show starts...its REALLY ANNOYING a lot of times...just started to rewatch it on Prime and GOODNESS ..its like "woman can do anything" all the time...NOT like i wouldnt like that, but they just overdid it sometimes...like when tess didnt want to ask for dave´s help bc she was too proud or becky going off all the time before even knowing the whole situation... and JODI OH MY...whiles she´s cute and a nice strong person, she was hella sellfish...as was tess!! tess was the worst imo :´) i really am wondering why i keep watching it bc i´m too annoyed at it lol xD
