Claudia Karvan cuts a sophisticated figure in a floral gown as she joins her Bump co-stars at the premiere for the fifth and final series of the Aussie fan favourite show
As I delve into the lives of these vibrant characters from the Stan Original Series Bump, I am utterly captivated by their journeys and experiences. The show not only showcases the struggles and triumphs of young adults navigating through life but also sheds light on the importance of representation and inclusivity in media.
Claudia Karvan gave an outstanding performance alongside her fellow cast members from the beloved Australian television series, Bump, during the highly anticipated premiere of its fifth and concluding season.
On a Sydney evening, the Australian actress, aged 52, who jointly created and was a mainstay of a long-running series on Stan, said goodbye to her massively successful show after many years.
She showcased a fashionable appearance when she attended the Barangaroo’s open-air cinema, Mov’in bed, along with the cast and team, marking the conclusion of the comedy/drama series.
On that special day, Claudia exuded an effortless elegance, adorning a maxi dress featuring a delicate lace bodice and a vibrant pink floral skirt. She confidently struck poses during the outdoor gathering.
As the lifestyle aficionado I am, I added an extra touch of elegance to my look during our cast photo shoot by donning a stylish pair of slingback heels that gave me an additional inch or two. (Angie Davis’ character on the show)
At the film premiere, Claudia shared with Daily Mail Australia that she felt deeply emotional during the filming of the last episode of “Bump.” Now, she confessed she feels a sense of relief as the series has come to an end.
‘I feel proud, happy and relieved. We’ve got off at the right stop I think,’ she said.
As we bid farewell to our shared workspace, there was an abundance of emotional moments. However, the bonds we’ve forged extend far beyond the confines of our jobs. We’re not disappearing from each other’s lives; instead, we’re transitioning into new chapters where our friendships continue to flourish.
Claudia mentioned that she’s arranging for another get-together with the Bump crew on screen, and she’s currently working on a fresh idea, aiming to bring everyone together to feature in it.
She hinted that she has a plan in mind, it’s currently being developed, and there’s a possibility it could come to fruition next year, she playfully suggested.
She said she has no plans to lose touch with her Bump castmates despite the show ending and hopes to be a mentor to leading star Nathalie Morris, who plays Oly.
Claudia expressed, “It’s genuine – the bond between us, especially with Nat. I care for them all deeply, but Nat feels like my television daughter.
Regardless of her preference, I plan on reaching out to her, offering guidance and seeking advice from her as well.
In the concluding, fifth season of Bump, Angie, portrayed by Claudia, persists in her fight against cancer. She subtly suggested that this struggle won’t be a smooth ride in the upcoming episodes, set to premiere on December 26th.
Claudia mentioned that her character’s journey was quite intense, making her feel in need of some rest,” she explained, implying she chose to miss the show’s finale celebration to recuperate after the emotionally draining filming process.
As a devoted fan myself, though I’m heartbroken that “Bump” is wrapping up, I must admit I haven’t managed to watch every episode from the first four seasons – not even the one I’ve been portraying on screen!
Angus Sampson, the actor who portrays Claudia’s screen spouse Dom Chalmers, shared that he’s only made it through the initial two seasons. Consequently, the series hasn’t truly concluded for him as of now.
He confessed, “I haven’t seen anything past season two yet, so I’m purposely spreading out my viewing.
‘I might get to like 2037 I reckon by the time I get to the new season. But it’s always a joy to watch Claudia on screen in everything she does.’
Yet, he conceded that he continues to harbor a sense of nostalgia about the idea of the cast no longer being united, playfully suggesting that he might be omitted from the Bump cast chat group, should it exist.
In eight years, Angus had his initial job in Australia following his role in Mad Max: Fury Road, and he expressed deep gratitude for being part of the Bump cast.
Additionally present at the season five premiere was Dylan Alcott, a previous wheelchair tennis player, who made his acting debut in Bump during its fourth series, portraying Marcus.
Born with a knack for sports, Dylan, aged 34, openly admitted that he savored each moment while working on movie sets, and he intends to persist in his acting pursuits since he hinted at shifting his career path following his retirement from professional tennis in 2021.
He shared with the Daily Mail that although he had worked on a film set previously as an athlete, he had never acted before; however, he really enjoyed the experience.
I found it beneficial to gauge my affection for working on a set daily, and indeed, I enjoyed it. Here’s hoping I get more chances in the future.
In light of the increasing number of celebrities diversifying their talents by embarking on acting ventures, Dylan made it clear that he was committed to honing his acting abilities. He went as far as enrolling in acting classes to ensure he was well-prepared for the part he was about to play.
He shared that he didn’t desire to become the well-known individual who merely claims, “I can act,” but instead, he has taken lessons, attended classes, and even hired an acting coach to back up his abilities.
‘I tried to do the best that I can and everyone was really accommodating.’
He said, “The greatest hurdle I faced initially was that everyone was so convincingly talented as actors, it left me questioning my own role when I arrived.
‘Then I realised that everyone was so accommodating but I could also hold my own.’
As I reflect upon my debut acting role on Bump, I’m overwhelmed with satisfaction and gratitude. This groundbreaking series not only gave me my first chance to step into the world of acting, but it also offers a platform for groundbreaking representation.
As a child, acting was a dream that sparked within me, and it has remained so ever since. Over the years, I’ve faced challenges in seeing accurate representation of people with disabilities on screen, which I feel compelled to address.
In the past, things were consistently bleak and filled with negativity and sadness, far from the natural state of people. That’s why I took up acting. When Claudia and Kelsey (Munro) offered me a part, I was astonished!
As a child, the only portrayal that I remember was a public service announcement about road safety, showing a person driving under the influence, getting into an accident, and ending with someone visibly upset or crying.
‘I was like ”that’s not my life!” but people believe that is our lives. But one of the cool things about Bump, we had a meeting and I was like ”push the boundaries and take risks”.’
Dylan shared that not only was he given opportunities to compose his own witty remarks and perform his own daring feats, but he also inspired the creators, Claudia and Kelsey Munro, to exceed audience expectations when it came to developing his character.
As an ardent enthusiast, I frequently grapple with the question of portraying a character with disabilities, unsure of the boundaries. Yet, my passion ignited, I boldly exclaimed, “Let’s go beyond the norm!” And oh, what a thrilling experience it was!
‘I even do my own stunts in this season!’
He expressed his only regret was that Marcus’ storyline on “Bump” concluded unexpectedly, as Dylan needed to depart for Paris to provide commentary for Channel Nine during the 2024 Olympics.
He mentioned that because he was required to present the Olympics on Channel Nine, he wasn’t able to complete the entire season. Regrettably, his departure had to be sudden. In all honesty, he wished he could have stayed longer and contributed a bit more.
Additionally, comedian Steph Tisdell, like Dylan, became part of the season four cast, portraying Shauna Johnson. She confessed that wrapping up filming on Bump after only two seasons felt unusual for her.
She mentioned that it was an enjoyable project to be part of, but she feels a little disappointed because she knows for certain she won’t have another opportunity to perform in it.
I find it unusual since I joined during the fourth season, making me feel as though I’ve stepped into an established storyline. It feels like I’ll be part of it for a while, then depart, but it’s been a pleasure to contribute to its development.
It was unusual in every way one would expect, yet what intrigued me was the realization that this presented an uncommon chance for me to introduce something novel.
‘That’s exactly what you’re there for, to shake up the dynamic.’
During the filming of the fifth season of Bump, it wasn’t all smooth sailing for Steph, as she humorously confessed about a significant mistake she made on set.
In a burst of amusement, Steph shared that stepping into dog poop right before shooting turned out to be the most memorable incident for her during the show, causing an embarrassingly awkward scene on set.
During the current season, we shot a particular scene. Right before we began filming, I accidentally stepped in dog feces. What made this situation even more frustrating was having to deal with it afterwards, as wardrobe had to clean it up, she reminisced.
I said something along the lines of “Hey team, I seem to have stepped in some dog waste on my shoe, could someone help me clean it off?” And the response was something akin to “Oh dear, not again.
For the remainder of that particular scene, a foul odor filled the air, prompting me to improvise lines like, “Oly, didn’t you step in something smelly?” We couldn’t stop laughing as we struggled to complete the scene amidst our continuous laughter fits.
‘That was my highlight, just sitting in a van that smelled like dog s**t and making the wardrobe team clean my dog s**t shoes.’
During the filming process, there were some humorous instances, but a heartfelt love story unfolded as well. Christian Byers discovered genuine affection for his co-star on set, right here on Bump.
In a conversation with Daily Mail Australia, Nathalie shared that she’s just moved to Melbourne to live with her partner Stevie Cruz-Martin, and she wishes Christian would join her there. However, Christian has chosen to remain in Sydney due to his affection for someone else.
She playfully suggested that Christian might have encountered his secret girlfriend while filming the series “Bump,” and the actor subsequently implied that viewers should tune in to episode four for further details.
Christian couldn’t help but express his enthusiasm for his latest co-star, admitting that others on set had picked up on their chemistry much earlier than him. It wasn’t until the show that he began to realize he was falling in love.
Christian, playing the role of Bowie Chalmers-Davis, expressed that it was incredibly adorable! He mentioned that there was a lot of discussion about the chemistry on set. Additionally, he revealed that it took approximately one week for him to begin working.
Christian revealed that it was Nathalie, whom he resided with during the filming of season five, who first pointed out the growing attraction between him and his fellow actor in his personal relationships’ context.
A day later, Nat had a picture of me on the couch from our apartment, and it made me exclaim, ‘I think I’m falling in love!'” This version aims to maintain the original sentiment while using simpler language and smoother sentence structure for easier reading.
Nathalie then said: ‘You were like ”what is happening?! It’s so painful”.’
Christian remarked, “Love’s early stages can be remarkably strong and overwhelming.
This coming Boxing Day marks the simultaneous debut of the fresh season for the Stan Original Series “Bump.” Previously aired seasons 1, 2, 3, and 4 are currently available to stream, exclusive to Stan.
