A Channel 7 spokesperson confirmed to Emerald City that Frost would not be there. “Due to limited ticketing,invitations were extended toHome and Away cast currently filming with the production.Sam finished filming withHome and Away in December 2021. I believe only Gold Logie winners automatically receive a ticket each year.”
TV soap royaltyHarley Bonner, who starred onNeighbours before a short stint onHome and Away, also did not make the cut for the awards ceremony. Coincidentally,the pair exited the show within months of each other,after Seven West Media introduced a COVID-19 vaccination mandate for cast and crew. An email was sent out last October by Director of ProductionAndrew Backwell that said the network would “only engage fully vaccinated presenters,cast,and crew”. Frost has not disclosed her vaccination status to her social media followers and declined to comment on it when interviewed by News Corp in March. Previously,however,she had stated she planned to get vaccinated after a medical procedure in January. Emerald City has been told by a Logies spokesperson the event is not enforcing vaccinations from guests who are attending. “The state and venue guidelines do not require[vaccination status from guests],” a spokesperson confirmed.
Despite starring in one TV’s most successful reality shows,only a select group of stars from this year’s season ofMarried at First Sightwill attend.
Olivia Fraser, Jackson Lonie,Tamara Djordjevic, Samantha Moitzi andMitch Eynaud, Daniel Holmes andCarolina Santoshave been left off the guest list and won’t be able to extend their 15 minutes of fame on the red carpet. Cast favouritesDomenica Calarco, Ella Ding,Brent Vitiello,Al Perkins,Jack Millar,Selina Chhaur andDion Giannarelli all scored invites.
