GYPSY by name, living in NASH-“VILLE”/Australia
Gypsy got sort of "culture shop" when coming
to Summer Bay for the very first time from a hip city like Hong Kong.
All seemed to be so extremely provincial, no trendy shops, no choice
as for the latest releases just a village to be seen once in a lifetime
and then to be forgotten for good.
Gypsy managed to adapt her life somehow to the place
of beaches and sunshine all year and even managed to get hold of a boyfriend
in Will Smith.
But school was as provincial as everyone thought hence
dodgy drug deals were going on in which unimportant side characters
like Harry and Lillian were involved and Gypsy had to opt for what to
do. Norwegian and Belgian viewers will or have already seen this storyline
in mid 2000.
One of the dullest things Gypsy's ever done was letting
this ”tutor” Robert Perez into her life hence he got this
vendetta thing against Joel Nash going on. Tom sussed out and Justine
eventually told Bec and Travis and Travis again while jogging with Joel
that Perez was no stranger to Gypsy and that they even had met before.
Perez nearly managed to extinguish Gypsy's family when abducting Joel,
setting the Nash's house on fire and abducting Gypsy to this God damned
cellar and making her watch digging her grave through the iron bars
before he came back to set the place on fire. Gypsy went through loads
of traumas afterwards, never-ending counselling for starters. Then she
had been being so apathetic for quite a while that she even was hit
by a netball straight into her face without noticing also being caused
by the booze she went for.
Gypsy was again traumatised when Perez returned after
some months' time after escaping from a high security prison but only
to get hold of the Nash's money he'd stolen but still...
Gypsy managed to get rid of her drinking problem eventually
but another setback was when Will was showing his true colours when
presuming Gypsy might be pregnant.
She fled or rather threw herself into a casual affair
with slightly older ex-jailbird Jesse and was caught in the act by her
parents being unaware of this horrid ”older-man” affair.
Yeah, Jesse being a dad and older than her made him not very attractive
for a LTR thus Gypsy discovered the net for her horny pleasures and
initiated an ”incestuous” affair with her brother Tom...
Lovebirds caught out!! Big shock for both of them and
Gypsy felt conned again!
This stowaway Mitch seemed to be a convenient outlet
for all her desires but the whole thing backfired when finally being
spread around and certain people were hurting for a long time and Gypsy
managed to be the person non grata number 1 in Summer Bay. Year 2000
didn't start out very favourable for Gypsy but Gypsy's year 2000 nightmares
ought to come to a happy-ending eventually. Gypsy went through a sort
of chain reaction as for the 2000 season of HandA. First of all she
didn't become school captain hence Mrs Ackroyd, Summer Bay's headmistress
from Heaven did presume that a man-eater like Gypsy would not me a good
role model for the other students. She got herself into shoplifting
and spraying swastikas onto Mrs Ackroyd's car just as a payback for
the world around her ”hating” and ”mistrusting”
her. Gypsy had been hurting for quite a while. She even managed to re-conquer
Will but this cloud number 9 stuff didn't last very long. Everybody
started badmouthing her for being Summer Bay's slut number 1 and side
character Claire Rogers even conned her into a catfight opening the
door to Mrs Ackroyd's office and detention. But no fire without a sparkle,
Gypsy had this Charlie-Richy-Rich thing going on taking her out in his
expensive sports car and he even conned her back into drinking again.
Charlie didn't mind drinking even when he was driving
thus one day, after Gypsy has this traumatising caught-in-the-act thing
as for ugly looking Glen and unhappily pregnant Natalie she walked out
in tears MAYBE also contributing to this atrocious car accident of Charlie
and Gypsy hence us viewers wasn't showed how this accident exactly happened.
One thing was for sure, Charlie wouldn't survive this crash because
of some non-predictable complications but Gypsy did recovered physically
miraculously fast but not at all mentally. This Natalie-an-affair-stuff
kept on nagging her and she found her outlet by making odd remarks in
front of her dad, Joel Nash. Joel tried to talk her into counselling
again but Gypsy was reluctant. Natalie and Gypsy seemed to have more
in common at the very end of Nat's stay in Summer Bay. Both went under
the banner of man-eater and outcasts on their forehead but Natalie couldn't
keep quit anymore. She told Joel the naked truth but sussing out that
Noel wouldn't face this no-child-of-his thing Natalie decided to leave
Summer Bay in a cab leaving a devastated Gypsy behind....

Kimberley Cooper
Kimberley Cooper was eighteen when she took on the role
of Gypsy. She has been acting and dancing for twelve years. She may
look slight but you would not want to cross her as she is an accomplished
kick-boxer.
Kimberley, incorporating the character of Gypsy Nash
on the all time favourite TV soap Home and Away, finally ”hit”
the age of 20 way back on April 24, 2000. She still has to wait to
celebrate her all-important-21st birthday down there in
Oz whilst she already would have been a perfect adult over here at
the age of 19.
Kimberley aka Gypsy Nash first hit the world of Home
and Away way back in 1997 when roller-blading into Travis Nash,
her uncle, being accused of pervert nature by her soap-brother Tom
Nash.
Kimberley's background fits somehow in this all-being-a-foster-kid
atmosphere of Summer Bay hence she's got 2 older stepbrothers and
one older stepsister.
Kimberley's path into the world of soapy bubbles wasn't
quite foreseen hence she committed her life to the world of dance,
studied ballet and even won several awards for jazz, tap and classical
ballet. But the stairway to fame and fortune wasn't the dancing one
but the acting one. Kimberley was offered the role of Gypsy Nash on
a soap that started out when she was hardly old enough to follow it
right from the start. Kimberley and her mum burst into tears when
learning this gung-ho news. There have been rumours of Kimberley signing
a contract, extending her stay on Home and Away by three years.
