The 54-year-old, who rose to fame in the iconic Aussie series McLeod’s Daughters, took to Instagram recently to share a selfie with her fans and provide a much-anticipated update\u00a0<\/p>\n

The mental health advocate then weighed in on the state of the world, offering her fans a silver lining.<\/p>\n

‘The world is pretty crazy right now but there are still many beautiful, perfect things, moments, grabs of nature. Let’s hold on to those.’<\/p>\n

She finished off the post: ‘Much love. Much friendship. Many thoughts. Always, Bridie.’<\/p>\n

Bridie last appeared on McLeod’s Daughters in 2009.<\/a><\/p>\n

Looking back at her breakout role, she recalled a rare, behind-the-scenes detail from the infamous ‘silo’ scene on the hit series which put her in danger in real life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking to Woman’s Day magazine, she recalled the iconic scene that aired in season three, where her character Tess jumped into a silo full of wheat to avoid Dave’s marriage proposal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the more Tess struggled, the more she sank into the wheat, with Nick eventually coming to her rescue.<\/p>\n

Bridie expressed pride in the series, revealing that the scene posed genuine danger on set.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘One of the performances that sticks out for me is the wheat silo scene. There was a trapdoor for me underneath, I could have really got stuck,’ she said.<\/p>\n

Bridie praised the cast and crew, adding they were at the top of their game.<\/p>\n

‘The stakes were so high and everyone just excelled in that moment. So it’s scenes [like that] that make me go I’m lucky to be on that show.’\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

McLeod’s Daughters, which followed the lives of five women running a cattle station in the outback, aired for eight seasons on Channel Nine between 2001 and 2009.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A few years ago, Channel Nine expressed interest in a reboot.<\/p>\n
