Also known as Cathy Matthews, Hill opened up about the latest on the sudser in an interview with “WTAF – A This Country” podcast. She revealed that she and her co-stars are communicating constantly with the soap bosses about when filming will resume.

“We had a lovely email… off the producers saying they’re all working really hard, they’ve got great ideas,” she revealed.

“They’ve never stopped – they’re editing and trying to get episodes finished, and trying to hit the ground running, which is really heartening to hear, basically… We just can’t wait to get back,” she continued.

Hill said that the soap will most likely ask only a few groups of people at a time when production resumes. She’s also confident that the soap’s team of writers will be able to come up with great ideas for new storylines.
