Birdie also spoke to Sydney's Daily Telegraph about her new role, saying she wasn't expecting to be offered work at this time.
"I think it is miraculous that in these uncertain times when my industry is floundering that I got a phone call to say would I like to come to Summer Bay," she said.
'I was astounded and ecstatic at the same time. I am very fortunate and very grateful because I have a lot of friends who are sitting in a very precarious position."
Carter added: "I think it is now more than ever important for us as theatrical people to tell stories that are uplifting and entertaining in these very strange times."
