With Five Bedrooms back for a third season, Stewart shares why she loves her character Liz, a stage return, and the kind of roles she hopes for in the future.
Five BedroomsOffspring, Kat is looking at 2022 with plenty of hope. As well as returning to the TV spotlight, she’ll also star inWhile she lost some work during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Melbourne-based actor filled some of the void by hosting an ABC podcast,while leading a simpler life gave the 49-year-old a new perspective on where she wants to go next.
I’m very fond of Liz. She is forward, selfish and completely consumed with her self-image and status. But she has great qualities, too. She is funny, loyal, intelligent, empathetic and self-aware. What the writers have loved to do with her from the get-go is to portray a woman who has played by the rules, aspired to be successful and set a benchmark for success and happiness. Then they have taken it all from her and unravelled her at every possible juncture.
We’re going through a great period of change right now, where intimacy co-ordinators and feeling safe on set are priorities. That’s fantastic, and a first in my acting career.“I see elements of myself in every character I play, it’s just about amplifying those elements for the role.”Television in this country has grown up so much since I started acting. We’re more sophisticated. Nobody is really interested in cookie-cutter Australian TV any more. They want more.
Liz has a bigger fashion budget this season, so it means we get to turn it up: I love Maticevski, J’Aton and Sonia Cappelazzo gowns. ForI was reunited with costume designer Michael Chisholm, who also designed the outfits in. In my own life, I’m either in jeans and runners or all-out dressed up; I don’t do smart-casual well. I’ve known Toni for about eight years; he’s a genius.
