Tabloid exposure for Echo Beach


Stories like this - Martine is Echo Beach diva - The Sun - are great, because they are generating vital hype about Echo Beach. The more real life behind-the-scenes drama and tension, the more people will be tempted to watch:
STROPPY Martine McCutcheon has made waves on the set of my new favourite TV trash treat Echo Beach with an outrageous diva moment.

Celebrity snapper Nicky Johnston travelled hundreds of miles to do a publicity shoot with the ITV1 surfing soap’s cast on location in Cornwall.

But it had to be cancelled when ex-EastEnder Martine, 31, right, who plays Susan, refused to leave her caravan because it was too COLD. Our source says: “Everyone else was there waiting.”

Martine’s diva reputation has been sent up in TV comedy drama Moving Wallpaper, which is about the making of Echo Beach.

What we'll probably start to see more of soon is profiles on the young female actresses. And by profiles is meant scantily clad underwear photoshoots for the nation's favourite "family newspapers" such as The Sun and The Mirror, as well as the seedier men's "lifestyle" magazines. It may be that some of the young cast are initially disinclined to go the lad's-mag-slag route, but we'll see. Expect some former high school boyfriends and girlfriends to get dredged up to tell us all about their wondrous first loves.
