Cody
Cody is running the garage and living with Possum. But on the romance front things have changed a lot.
Bronwyn Turei plays Cody
Bronwyn Turei was performing educational musicals for New Zealand kids before landing the role of Cody back in GO GIRLS series one.
A Unitec Performing and Screen Arts graduate, Bronwyn also writes and performs her own music and has several theatre productions under her belt.
Between filming series of GO GIRLS, Bronwyn continues to perform original music at private gigs around Auckland, mostly with her band, Katie Scott and the Miss T’s.
In early 2011, Bronwyn performed in Toa Fraser’s play, BARE, as part of a Christchurch fundraiser at Auckland’s Civic Theatre. Prior to this, she combined her musical and theatrical talents by starring in Raising the Titanics ; a play about a 1960s Maori show band. The production ran at TAPAC and the Hawkins Theatre in 2010.
Between series one and two of GO GIRLS, Bronwyn wrote an Auckland Fringe Festival play for TAPAC, Kairoa Glory, directed by Glen Pickering. She also travelled to Christchurch and starred in the 2009 Christchurch Arts Festival play, Angels.
Q & A with Bronwyn Turei
Cody faces a number of grown-up challenges this year. Can you highlight these challenges? Figuring out what she wants from a relationship, her parents’ mortality, her relationship with them and her culture. This series is the first time the Maori side of her family is mentioned. She’s also facing the end of her marriage, running a household and juggling a business that’s going down the gurgler.
What is the dynamic like between the six characters in series four?
The dynamic is pretty comfortable because they all know each other so well – it’s easy. It’s a family dynamic and very truthful. That’s how we all are as friends in real life.
Any highlights you can share from the series 4 shoot?
Working with the Go Boys and the Go Girls! Also doing a bit of stunt fighting (look out for episode two!) and getting to drive Kevin’s car around the country all day. The laughter.
