Best-known for her long-running Home and Away gig, 34-year-old Ritchie has signed up for a risque role in the ABC comedy It’s A Date, according to TV Week.
Created by Peter Helliar, It’s A Date also stars Aussie actress Nadine Garner, who plays Ritchie’s on-screen girlfriend.
“I’m playing a single woman who’s dating Kate,” Garner told TV Week.
“I know Kate isn’t normally portrayed as a rampant lesbian,” she said, laughing.
- It’s A Date is set to air on the ABC in 2013.

Update as at 15 December 2012:
It’s taken a while, but I’ve finally restored the site back to where it was before the crash from hell in August.
The only thing that is missing at the moment from the old site is the Media section – that shall be offline till at least January while I move it to a different server.
As at 16 August 2012:
Welcome!
Apologies for the interruption with the site. On August 1, the site server had a major server crash and I lost everything including the backup which was damaged in the process.
It will take a few weeks to get everything back up (so you will know an influx of old articles being added during this time) but I hope to have things back to normal in September. So apologies for the temporary design until then.
