Exclusive: Ask Lauren Gold

harchester.net (January 2006)

How did you get the part of Scarlet and were you a fan of Dream Team before joining the cast?  Well, initially I auditioned for the part of Chloe and they DT called me back a week later to read Scarlett, so I guess it was meant to be. I did an episode a couple of years ago when I was modelling , I've watched it on and off since then.

Now we all know you have appeared in Robbie Williams' video for Rock DJ, what else have you appeared in and what other jobs have you had in the past?  Well this is my first acting job, but in the past I've appeared in several commercials, some being Coca Cola, Vodafone, fashion magazines and catwalk shows.

What would you like to do in the future, more drama, soaps possibly films?  Definitely films.

After acting as a footballer's wife would you like that lifestyle? Do you think posh has a hard time being a footballer's wife?  I would hate to be a kept woman, all that lunching and shopping seems like such hard work.

If there was a past character in dream team that you could be paired with who would it be?  Well Lynda Block used to be in it so can I pick her?

What its like working with Robert Kazinsky on set? Is he as big of a joker off camera as he is on it?  He's a lot nicer than Casper, always thinking of everybody else. As for being a joker, his jokes, which he makes-up, are shockingly bad!

If u had to choose between Casper and Eugene who would you pick?  That's a really unfair question, I choose them both.

Who out of the male cast do you get on with the most?  Robert, simply because my jokes are as bad as his.

Do you follow football and if so which team do you support?  Hachester Untied.

What did you aspire to be when you were little? Did you always want to go into acting?  I wanted to be a nurse so I could see lots of willies.

Is their anyone in the cast that is a real joker? What is the best stunt that has been pulled?  Well there has been lots but the most memorable is in episode 5 (Cass and Scarlett in the lift), we were shooting the last scene and Rob and I were sealed in the lift well and no-one said cut so rob and I thought we were still filming but little did we know that the entire crew had buggered off and left us. It was very funny at the time.

What is it like working of the set of Dream Team? What are the rest of the cast like to work with?  I love my job. I get to work with my friends and e entertained all day. Everyone is so lovely it's just like one big family.

If you could create a storyline for your character what would it be about and which other characters would it involve?  I would love Scarlett to become a strong, powerful woman and try to buy Harchester United.

Are there any characteristics that you share with Scarlet?  My looks and that's about it.

Do you enjoy your part in the Casper, Eugene rose story line and do think you have a big impact on it?  You'll just have to keep watching.

When you read the script, what were your first impressions about Scarlet Rose and her experiences?  She needs to get out more.

What did you do over the festive period?  I went to Spain with my family.

Who would you like to get under the mistletoe?  Paul Walker from Into the Blue.

What was the best present that you received?  I lost my luggage on the way to Spain but they found it and delivered it to me on Christmas day.

How did you see in the New Year?  I spent New Years volunteering in an old persons home and then saw the new year in with my family and friends.

Have you made any resolutions and if so what are they?  I'm meant to be running the London marathon in April so I guess I'll have to give up everything and start training. Sponsors welcome.
