Simone gave birth to a baby boy called "Tane" in 1998!
I received this mail in July 2000. I sent a short reply with a couple of friendly questions but I never received a reply back. I assume she must be busy with Tane.

Hi there it is Simone Buchanan here. I have just viewed your pages on
me and thought you might like an update! I had a baby called Tane in
1998 and blissfully took two years off work to give him all my
attention , apart from the odd appearance here and there. I moved to
Melbourne a couple of months ago and have been working on Blue
Heelers which is great. My email adress is [deleted]@aol.com
At the end of 1996 I received email from Simone. It appears she and her agent were browsing the WWW and discovered my page. Here is what she had to say:

Now that Pacific Drive is on the internet, your appreciation page has been
discovered. Over to Simone -
Well, well, well. When did the front page get changed from "awful" to
Australian show PACIFIC DRIVE? (PS I saw awful there last week - Simone's
publicist) You should get a link to the PAC DRIVE page -
www.village.com.au/pacificdrive.
I'm still in shock at what I've just seen.
In the future, if you want to check any details with me, you can email me
care of the pacdrive site. I'll be watching you!!!
Thank you for your obvious enthusiasm - I guess I should be flattered!
Simone
I replied, asking her for information for the page. This was just before Christmas 1996. I received this reply:

I have been asked (read "ordered") by Karen-Jane Eyre (Editor-in-chief, Studio Magazines) to remove the scans from Black+White magazine due to it being a violation of their (or the photographer Andrew Steinman's) copyright.

You have not identified who you are in any way whatsoever.
The images on my site come from a large variety of sources and I doubt you
could claim copyright to all of them.
Your email has been too vague and unprofessional for me to take it seriously
at this point.
