Now, Ada Nicodemou who plays Leah Patterson-Baker, has revealed the secrets behind filming the hit show.

Speaking with The Morning Show, Ada was open and honest about a number of tightly held industry secrets, including just how many scenes the show's cast and crew can churn through a day.

"Sometimes it can be up to 12 to 14 scenes," she said. "Then other days you're going in there for one scene. It just really depends on the sets and the days as well."

The actress added that filming revolves around what sets are ready: "When the diner set is up we shoot all the diner scenes, when the Summer bay house is up we shoot all of those. So on those days - because it's my house - there's a lot of scenes to do and a lot of dialogue."

Ada also revealed that despite being somewhat of an industry veteran she hasn't mastered the art of crying on cue!

"I'm really bad at it," she laughed. "We've got a little secret that we use, it's called a 'tear blower', and it's basically a bit of a mentholated spirit type of thing that they blow in your eye. That kind of brings it on, and if you've got the emotion behind it you can cry."

How ingenious!
