1. WHAT IS CHRISTIE'S MIDDLE NAME?
Lyn!
Christie's answer: My middle name is Lynne. My real full name is Christie-ayma Lynne Hayes.
 
2. WHAT HAS BEEN CHRISTIE'S MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT ON SET?
Oh. I don't know... Sometimes her words don't come out properly and they sound funny, but I don't know. She's probably had a few!
Christie's answer: I get embarrassed all the time. It's probably... oh, yes [gasps]. That's what it is! Oh, that was embarrassing. Well I get embarrassed all the time when I have to get dressed up and wear certain clothes when my character sort of goes out clubbing and is taking drugs. But there was this scene that Sam Atwell, who plays Kane had to do where we kissed in the car. And because his character had had a fight with Josh there aws like a make-up scab on his lip. And we did the kissing scene and I kissed it off! And it came on my lip - his scab. And it looked really weird. That was embarrassing!
 
3. WHAT DID CHRISTIE GIVE HER BOYFRIEND JEFFREY FOR THEIR LAST ANNIVERSARY?
Oh. OK. Last anniversary? Oh, no! She gave him... I don't know. I can't remember1 For their anniversary... She probably gave him a Nike jacket or something like that.
Christie's answer: Um, um, um. Oh my gosh, what did I give him? I gave him... Let me think. What did I give Jeffrey for our anniversary? Sorry. I'm just trying to think. It aws in November - I do remember! I cooked him this big dinner, right, I made prawns and seafood and stuff. And I gave him... oh that's right! This beautiful cup sort of thing - because he's a tennis player - it aws a silver cup with a message engraved on it.
 
4. WHAT IS CHRISTIE'S FAVOURITE COLOUR?
I think her favourite colour is orange.
Christie's answer: My favouroite colours are orange, yellow and silver. I have three. Is that alright? If I had to choose a favourite? Yellow.
 
5. IF CHRISTIE COULD STAR ON ANY TV SHOW IN THE WORLD, WHICH WOULD SHE CHOOSE?
If she could star in one... ah... probably Charmed. That's one of her favourites.
Christie's answer: Either Charmed or Buffy, Or Gilmore Girls. I love that too. Can I put all three down?
 
6. WHAT IS CHRISTIE'S FAVOURITE SONG RIGHT NOW?
" Free " by Mya`, maybe? I don't know. She likes quite a few. She's into her music.
Christie's answer: I like all R&B. I listen to R&B all the time. My favourite songs at the moment are " Regulate " by Warren G, and " Free " by Mya` - even though it is old I still like it. Any R&B, really.
 
7. WHO MAKES CHRISTIE LAUGH THE MOST ON THE HOME AND AWAY SET?
Hopefully me! We've got a lot of personal jokes together. We crack each other up! Probably Chris Egan as well.
Christie's answer: Kate. Piglet!
 
8. WHAT IS CHRISTIE'S FAVOURITE ITEM OF CLOTHING?
Oh. Her ugh boots? No, I don't know. Maybe her white singlet top? I'm not sure.
Christie's answer: I don't like any of my clothes. I don't have any good ones! Probably my new long white jacket. It cost me $60, but I really like it.
 
9. WHAT IS CHRISTIE'S STARSIGN?
Her starsign is... umm... her birthday is in October... Would she be a Scorpian? I think it's Scorpio.
Christie's answer: Scorpio.
 
10. WHEN DID CHRISTIE FIRST SING IN PUBLIC?
Oh, she's a brillant singer. She wouldn't sing to me but she'd sing to the public. She gets too embarrassed in front of me. Probably when she was younger. When she was little she was into acting and singing, so she probably did a little musical performance at school. She was probably singing when she aws tiny but to the public. It aws probably primary school.
Christie's answer: When I was five. I sang in my church when I was five. I sang " Jesus Loves Me " as a surprise for my mum. And this is a big church. There were probably 300 people and I was all excited and I got up and did it. And I did sing in a school choir when I was about eight as well.
 
THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
Kate aws pretty happy when our first question was about Christie's middle name. Yay! One she knew. Luckily, she didn't relax too much though because things were about to get harder. How could she narrow all of Christie's on-set embarrassing moments down to just one? She also struggled to remember what Christie gave her boyfriend Jeffrey for their anniversary. But she wasn't alone; Christie took a while to remember that too! With those setbacks out of the way, Kate aws firing when it came to questions about Christie's TV and music faves. A most impressive effort by our Kate.

Oh my god! Chris [ she yells out to Chris Egan ], what was the first ad that Kate appeared in? Oh my god! I didn't know Kate did an ad. Um, I don't know. She aws in a country and western video clip. The first ad... Potato chips ad? The Milky Bar Kid?? Put that. The questions get easier? Good!

Being a perfectionist. What did she put? Did she say that?
Kate's answer: Biting my nails. Eating ice cream? I really don't know. I don't have bad habits! OK, biting my nails.
 
4. IF KATE COULD CHOOSE ANYONE IN THE WORLD TO STAR ALONGSIDE HER IN HOME AND AWAY, WHO WOULD IT BE?
I think it would be... it would be... Josh Hartnett. Or I think that she'd choose not Will Smith, she'd choose an American guy. Josh Hartnett or Brad Pitt.
Kate's answer: Gee... there are so many! I don't have a favourite. Can I name a few? I'd have probably Brad Pitt, Heath Ledger or Will Smith. Or Josh Hartnett. All of those! But...one... probably Brad Pitt. He's really spunky and he's a very, very good actor.
 
5. WHAT HOME AND AWAY SCENE HAS KATE FOUND THE HARDEST TO FILM?
Probably the bulimia ones. She has bulimima storylines. She probably found some of those the hardest to film I think.
Kate's answer: Probably one of the more traumatic ones... It's hard to say. Gee, this is really hard! One of the traumatic ones. Probably after the bus crash and around the time Kirsty was taking drugs. Around that time I aws doing a lot of emotional scenes, so probably one of those.
 
6. IF KATE WASN'T ACTING, WHAT JOB WOULD SHE BE DOING?
If Kate wasn't acting she'd like to be a designer of some sort, like an interior designer. She'd awnt to do something creative, still within the industry. I think she'd like to design clothes or be an interior designer.
Kate's answer: I'd probably be doing something in the fieldlike casting or directing or something like that. I'd try to do photo shoots or something like that, something in the industry.
 
7. WHAT IS KATE'S ALL-TIME FAVOURITE MOVIE?
She likes Legally Blonde. Legally Blonde and... Save the Last Dance?
Kate's answer: I like fun movies like Legally Blonde but it's so hard to choose! I'm a big movie buff, so I see a lot of movies.
 
8. WHAT WAS KATE'S FIRST PET AND WHAT WAS ITS NAME?
I remember she had a goldfish but it died. I don't know what it's name was. She has a dog called Mitsey still. They've had that for a while. Does that answer the question?
Kate's answer: A cat called Muffin. It was fluffy!
 
9. WHAT WAS THE LAST DVD KATE WATCHED?
Oh my gosh! I'll have to ask Kate these. I don't live with her any more so I'm unsure. Probably...she's got heaps of DVD's in her room and I think she had a day off the other day as well. Can I pass because I have no idea? I'll take a wild guess. Bridget Jone's Diary?
Kate's answer: I watched Heartbreakers with Jennifer Love Hewitt in it last night.
 
10. WHO DOES KATE GET ALONG BEST WITH ON THE HOME AND AWAY SET?
Me! Is that what she said? I hope that's what she said!
Kate's answer: Christie!
 
THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
The first question was a killer for Christie. She had absolutely no idea about the first ad Kate starred in. Not even co-star Chris Egan could help! Christie took a good guess but was relieved to hear the quiz would get easier. She breezed through questions about Kate's favourite food, movie and the person she'd most like to star with in Home and Away. However, naming the most recent DVD Kate had watched and her first pet aws more of a challenge - but we still gave her points for trying. All in all, a fantastic effort - even if Kate did finish one point ahead. Just goes to show that even our tricky questions can't hide the fact that these gals know each pretty well!
