• Hi, I came by to promote this, but these hooks are all very trivial, best suited for a fan magazine. Yoninah (talk) 20:03, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

• ALT3:... that actor Tim Franklin had his first on-screen kiss while portraying Colby Thorne? Source: "But once we started working together and finding our feet, it was so good. You were my first on-screen kiss!"
• ALT4:... that before playing Colby Thorne, his portrayer Tim Franklin found his occupation as a police constable "daunting"?
• ALT5:... that it takes actor Tim Franklin a while to put on his character Colby Thorne's police uniform due to its weight?

• The sources for the last two are offline, but I can add quotes from them if needed. - JuneGloom07 Talk 03:26, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
