Symons: Braxton drama is scary

Home And Away star Emily Symons has confessed she is finding her latest dramatic storyline quite nerve-wracking.

The 43-year-old Australian actress plays Summer Bay's ditzy blonde waitress Marilyn Chambers, and has got caught up with the bad boy Braxton brothers after falling for their charming crook father Danny.

Emily revealed: "It's been scary for me because Steve (Peacocke; who plays oldest Braxton brother Brax) has slammed a few doors in my face and had to be quite menacing towards me.

"It's really, really intimidating and out of my Marilyn comfort zone, when I'm used to walking around with my head in the clouds."

The actress also confessed that she doesn't want the drama in Marilyn's life to last, admitting she loves laughing all day on set with fellow long-time cast member Ray Meagher, who plays grumpy Alf Stewart.

Emily said: "I just want to do comedy, that's really what they asked me to come back to do.

"I think we all compliment each other, having the Braxton thing and then having a silly thing on the top, it balances it out."
