New enough, long enough, good sourcing (the unsourced section, "storylines" is fine without, like the plot of a book. Some references would be better, but aren't necessary.). Hook is referenced. No CP concerns from the couple of references I checked. QPQ satisfied. Some interest in the hook, although I would strongly recommend appending "in Winners & Losers" (or even "in Australian TV series Winners & Losers") to it for context. Otherwise good to go.

The source of the hook fact was Melanie Vallejo herself. Is this considered a reliable source? How about: ... that Melanie Vallejo claimed/revealed/admitted in an interview that she had not done much preparation before auditioning for the role of Sophie Wong in the Australian television series Winners & Losers? --PFHLai (talk) 21:52, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Well as I say I'm a fan of adding the series at the end, but I think we can trust Vallejo on her own preparation; per WP:SELFPUB Self-published and questionable sources may be used ... so long as: (1) the material is neither unduly self-serving nor an exceptional claim... . Ultimately I don't mind but I think your alt is a bit long. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 21:59, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
