Emily Symons: 'Marilyn becomes obsessed'

Emily Symons has teased that the coming weeks will see her Home and Away alter ego Marilyn Chambers become obsessed with motherhood.

Marilyn has offered to adopt pregnant teen Nicole's (Tessa James) baby - but it soon becomes too much for the high-school student, who snaps over the usually-bubbly blonde's meddling.

Symons told TV Week: "Marilyn is in Nicole's face every minute. She's doing it out of love, but she doesn't realise she's becoming obsessed with the baby.

"Marilyn is scared of being replaced. She's scared of losing the baby, which could happen because there isn't a legal agreement."

The situation will come to a climax as James bows out of the soap in the coming months.
