iiNet today announced it will include the ABC's new iView service completely quota-free for all customers. ABC iView is an innovative new platform that enables web users to view ABC programs online. Including the content quota free in iiNet?s Freezone means that iiNet customers can stream and watch ABC iView content without affecting their monthly download quotas. “Being able to provide great content through ABC iView completely quota-free means our customers can now get more value out of their monthly quota,” iiNet Chief Technology Officer, Greg Bader said today.

“For example, if you wanted to watch a one hour episode of Doctor Who on iView, you would expect this to use around 200MB of your monthly quota. Having this in the iiNet Freezone frees up our customer?s quota for everyday emailing, browsing and downloading.”

What do you think of the idea that Kate Ritchie (famous for playing Sally Fletcher in Home and Away) might join upcoming Channel 9 medical drama Young Doctors?

Remember Luke Jacobz - the hot guy who played Patrick Brewer on McLeod's Daughters? He's going to be on Home and Away!

No more info on who he's playing yet but hopefully he'll be on for a while!!

Rebecca Breeds joins the cast of Home and Away to play Ruby Buckton.

Ruby is Charlie's sister and Ross's daughter. She makes a big impact when she turns up in the Bay.

You may recognise Rebecca Breeds from Blue Water High - she plays Cassie.

She's 20 years old, but plays a 15 year old on Home and Away.

What do you guys thinks of Roman and Martha as a couple?

I think Roman is the sweetest guy not wanting to rush things with Martha.

Also he is really caring - look at the way he treats Miles, Aden and Cassie - the people that other people are quick to judge.

BUT I think that Martha and Roman don't have the same on-screen chemistry as Martha and Jack.. I was excited to see Jack was a bit jealous of Martha and Roman last week hahaah!

What do you think? If they break up will it be about his daughter?

JOHN LARROQUETTE JOINS THE CAST OF ABC'S "BOSTON LEGAL"

Christian Clemenson and Tara Summers Also Join the Award-Winning Series

Emmy Award-winning actor John Larroquette ("Night Court") is set to join the cast of "Boston Legal" next season as a senior partner from the New York offices of Crane Poole & Schmidt who transfers to the Boston office.

In addition, Emmy Award winner Christian Clemenson, who portrays Jerry "Hands" Espenson a fellow lawyer and friend of Alan Shore's (James Spader) who suffers from Aspergers syndrome -- joins the series as a cast regular, and Tara Summers ("Dirt") also comes on board as a young associate of the Boston offices.

BURBANK, CA (June 11, 2007) - Look, up in the sky: it's a bird, it's a plane! It's...Supergirl! This fall, Supergirl will be joining the lineup of burgeoning superheroes and villains in SMALLVILLE. Supergirl is the latest DC Comics character to join the series that has previously welcomed Martian Manhunter, The Green Arrow, The Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg and Brainiac. Casting for the Supergirl role is currently underway. SMALLVILLE airs on Thursdays at 8:00-9:00 p.m. ET on The CW.

On SMALLVILLE, the seventh season premiere kicks off with the arrival of Supergirl, whose name is Kara, as Clark's (Tom Welling) 19-year-old cousin. She was born on Krypton and is the daughter of Zor-El, Jor-El's brother. Kara possesses all of Clark's powers and one he doesn't yet have ?? she can fly! Kara also has a strong, rebellious streak that puts her at odds with Clark, and puts her onto Lex's (Michael Rosenbaum) radar. In addition, she takes a romantic interest in Jimmy Olsen (Aaron Ashmore).

"One of the joys of creating SMALLVILLE has been our ability to reinvent and reinterpret classic DC Comics characters," said SMALLVILLE executive producer Al Gough. "Miles and I believe that Supergirl will give our series the mythic jolt that it needs as we head into our seventh season."

David Koch, the host of Channel Seven's Sunrise program, is currently rumoured to be taking a guest role on his favourite soap opera - Home and Away. The morning show host grew up in Port Adelaide and now lives in Sydney, but that doesn't mean that he can't make the transition to the lovely sea-side suburb of Summer Bay. The soap's producers are currently rumoured to be writing a part for him to play, possibly coming in to marry off one of the eligible women of summer bay.

Isabel Lucas, the 22-year old actress who was formerly seen on Home and Away, has agreed to appear on the cover of lad's magazine FHM this month. The bikini-clad photo shoot comes as a surprise after the socially-conscious starlet slammed Ralph Magazine for purchasing unauthorized photos of her in a white string bikini from the Home and Away publicity photo department.

So even though this actress has a social conscience, it doesn't mean that she doesn't like to be on the cover of the boy's magazines. But this time, she got to choose the style and the location - more hippy chick than silicone-based bikini babe.
