McLeod's star coming back |

AGED 39, single and without kids, actress Lisa Chappell admits her biological clock is ticking loud and clear.
So the former McLeod's Daughters star can relate to the role she's about to play of a woman in her late-30s who's having trouble falling pregnant.
Chappell, based in her home town of Auckland, heads back to Adelaide next month to start filming David Lightfoot's latest thriller Coffin Rock. She plays a marine biologist who's desperate to have kids.
"I'd love kids so I can really relate to my character," the actress and part-time musician, who has an album, said.
"I can relate to her only having a few eggs left. I guess I experience what they call social infertility. That's where people's timing doesn't meet up.
"You can meet someone who might not want children straight away.
"But there's not a lot you can do about it. I'm a fatalist. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be." Chappell and husband Chris Taylor split in 2005 after marrying at Semaphore in 2001.
Since leaving McLeod's, Chappell has been busy with TV and theatre work, including spending the past six months working in NZ.
The two-time Logie winner, who played Claire McLeod, said she was looking forward to heading back to Adelaide and seeing a few of the McLeod's crew, some of whom are working on Coffin Rock.
The movie's producer, Lightfoot (Wolf Creek) said it was a classic thriller. "It's Cape Fear meets Fatal Attraction," he said.
The film shoot will be based at the South Australian Film Corporation for the next seven weeks, but also will be shot on location at Cape Jaffa and Thompson Beach, north of the city.
The flick also stars Robert Taylor (The Matrix, Rogue) and Sam Parsonson, who worked with Steven Spielberg on The Pacific, a mini-series set in World War II.
