There has been plenty of drama between Gina Liano and psychic Jackie "Shine Shine Shine" Gillies, when they got asked about how's their relationship now, Gina quickly responded: "I'll set the record straight, I love Jackie," said Gina. "There was conflict but for me it wasn't a personal thing, I didn't have an issue with Jackie as such. And so I think that kind of became apparent as time goes on. I think Jackie has got a great heart, and quite frankly out of the girls I would peg her and Chyka (Keebaugh) as (having) the biggest hearts."
Even though Gillies had a different opinion on camera, she said she had come to accept the skepticism surrounding her profession.
"Everyone's allowed to have their opinion," she said. "It's not even about Gina, it's about all the girls. For me, I don't give a s**t about the drama, I will laugh. If someone says anything about me or anything about how I appear on the show, I actually laugh. Who has time to sit there and think about all the drama? I don't" said Jackie.
In the coming weeks the drama between business woman, Andrea Moss and barrister, Gina Liano deepens, and their friendship pretty much drifts apart. The reporter explains that tension was felt in the next room when she spoke with Andrea Moss and two-time divorcee Janet Roach. She explains that Andrea Moss almost immediately points out that she is not on good terms with co-star Gina Liano.
"I had a lot of time thinking about how nasty one particular person was, sending off an email threatening us legally, so that kind of stuff just wasted my time," Andrea explained. "When you're up against someone who, in my opinion, has nothing to lose, who is foul off camera, all the off-camera antics that weren't recorded impacts how you react on camera. So in episode four, I'm angry with Gina . . . but by that stage, basically the line was in the sand. I can't be friends with this person." said Andrea.
The reporter also reports that the self proclaimed "saber tooth tiger" Janet Roach sided with Andrea Moss, even though early in the series it appeared she and Gina Liano were great friends.
"What Gina had already done, I don't know how (Andrea) didn't fly over the table and strangle her," Roach explained said. "But the real difference in our show is the fact that we are all working. So when we are having disagreements, we're very tired, and wrung out" said Janet.
Andrea hinted that her ongoing tiff with Liano would come to a head in the two-part reunion special, which will be filmed this Sunday and it will be hosted by none other that the very "expensive" and fabulous fashion designer turned TV personality Alex Perry.
"There are a lot of holes in why suddenly Janet or I are behaving that way," she said. "It will all come out on the reunion show" said Andrea.
Fellow housewives Lydia Schiavello and Chyka Keebaugh never anticipated the level of drama the show would reach, but admit they have been overwhelmed by how well it has been received. "I think it's really captivating people" said Chyka.
Lydia Schiavello insisted none of the drama was scripted, she explains "The animosity is real, it's not made up," she said. "There's a lot more drama off screen that you don't see" said Lydia.
