'Home and Away's Emily Symons: 'Marilyn will predict something bad'

Home and Away star Emily Symons has revealed that something bad is about to happen in the soap.

The Australian actress, who plays Marilyn Chambers in the series, said that her character will play an integral part in the end-of-season cliffhanger when she does a dramatic tarot reading for Irene Roberts.

Symons told TV Week: "Every time she does a reading, some bad cards come up - and she's not very good at hiding how shocked she is.

"Something is about to happen, but we don't know to whom or what. [The bad thing is] not necessarily going to happen to Irene - but, of course, Irene thinks that. Also, the cards have dual meaning. The death card doesn't necessarily mean death.

"Marilyn sees three cards she's concerned about. I can't tell you which three they are, but it's the name on the cards and the sequence she's slightly alarmed about. And she hasn't seen this sequence before, so she's a little freaked out about what she thinks it means."

Although Symons does admit that Marilyn's tarot readings are usually "a bit too honest" for her friends, she insists that the character does have psychic abilities, saying: "Marilyn's very good at translating the meaning and picking something from a person's life and saying, 'This is what this means'."
