Kym spoke about the filming locations: “I liked Amanda’s house which was constructed in the previous Neighbours studio building. They had completed a implausible job. It regarded costly. St Kilda was attractive. We had a couple of good days there when it wasn’t fairly so cold. We also had a couple of windy days when we virtually bought blown away.

“We went to another place called Yellow Gum in Victoria for a clifftop scene. That was much more rural. But I never saw one spider or snake. I did feel slightly cheated although a friend sent me a video of a Huntsman that he had seen on his gate one morning out in the bush. So that happened while I was there even though I didn’t personally see it!”.

The Imposter will consist of 4 episodes, with the opening instalment starting on Monday, December 15 at 9pm. The drama can be broadcast across 4 successive evenings.
