MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

You can hear part two of Mia's conversation with Ada here. 

Ada Nicodemou is in love again…with her longtime co-star and on-screen husband, James Stewart.

Ada Nicodemou has played the character of Leah Patterson on our screens for 24 years as one of the most iconic stars of Home & Away. In this exclusive interview, Ada tells Mia how the last few years have seen her choose herself after a lifetime of choosing others.

They discuss the complexities of ending relationships and blended families, of dealing with paparazzi and tabloid culture, of ageing and beauty standards for women in the public eye, and…what it’s like to kiss your on-screen partner off screen for the first time…

Ada also shares her dreams and ambitions for the future…in so many ways, she’s just getting started.
