The Odd One Out: "McLeod's" Style Quiz

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The name of the series refers to the fact that many of the main characters are daughters of the late Jack McLeod. One of the girls, though the daughter of a McLeod, is NOT a sister of the other three - which one?

Answer: Charlotte

Claire's mother, Prudence, and Ruth - Tess' mom, were both married to Jack. Meg (Jodi's mother) had an affair with him. Claire's daughter Charlotte is, of course, a McLeod's daughter, but not a sister to the three women. Her father is Peter Johnson.

2. Let's continue on the topic of children. Which of these characters did NOT discover late in life who their real mother/father was?

Jodi discovered her father was Jack McLeod through the book her mother wrote. She previously thought herself the daughter of Kevin Fountain, Meg's husband.

3. On the subject of paternity, which of these women did NOT have a child with a man she wasn't married to?

Answer: Tess

Tess had a daughter, Claire, with husband Nick. He is also the father of Sally's son, Harrison, though he never married his former girlfriend. Nick's mother Liz was already pregnant with Alex when she deceived Harry into marrying her. Claire fell in love with Peter, not knowing he was married - they had a daughter, Charlotte.

4. Which of these people did NOT lose their loved one in a tragic accident?

Answer: Tess

Though Tess believed Nick to be dead for a long time, she later discovered he wasn't on the plane that crashed on the way from Argentina to Australia.
Dave's wife Leanne died in a car crash - an event that left the vet traumatized and caused that cancellation of his wedding with Tess.
A road accident was the cause of Claire's death as well - Alex had planned to propose to her that same day.
Another engagement that didn't come to pass was that of Becky and Brick - he fell off a bridge while returning home with the ring.

5. In the series nearly every character has siblings. Which of these people does NOT have a sister OR a half-sister?

Answer: Nick

Nick has only a brother - Alex. He, however, has a half-sister on his father Bryce's side. Stevie's sister Michelle has raised Stevie's daughter as her own. Kate once used her sister's alleged graduation to leave Drovers Run without awakening suspicion.

6. Which of these characters was NOT at some point revealed to be named after a close relative?

Answer: Stevie

Claire was the middle name of Jack McLeod's first wife, Prudence. Claire is also the name of Tess and Nick's daughter.
Tess' middle name Charlotte is what her sister Claire calls her only daughter.
Sally named her son Harrison after his grandfather, Harry Ryan. Tess was not very pleased with this, since she didn't come to be the mother of the first Ryan grandchild.
Stevie's real name is Staphanie. However, it is never stated to be the name of any relative of hers.

7. Some of the series' characters had some serious trouble in the law. Which one of them did NOT?

Answer: Terry's colleague, Moira

Mark and his younger brother Sean were arrested for theft when trying to steal a horse from Kilarney.
Kane had trouble involving some stolen cars he hid at Wilgul.
Terry was often eyed suspiciously by Sgt. Frank Da Costa, due to the fact he had killed a man in a bar fight.
Moira, also known as Mystic Miranda, had some trouble with her ex-husband, not with the law.

8. The men from the Ryan family heard a lot of lies concerning pregnancies. Which of these situations did NOT occur?

Answer: Sally lying to Nick

Fiona lied to Alex about being pregnant, knowing fully well she couldn't have children.
Liz and Claire told Harry lies about who their children's respective fathers were, though for different reasons.
Sally hid her pregnancy from Nick for a long time, but in the end she did tell him he was about to be a father.

9. During the course of the series the girls' home, Drovers Run, had several part owners. Though the property is very important to all of them, most of them spent part of their lives somewhere else. One, however, never left her home. Which one?

Answer: Claire

Tess grew up with her mother in the city and later, after marrying Nick, left Drovers Run to move to Argentina with him.
Jodi spent most of her life on the farm, but her time in school as well as her travels through Europe kept her away for a while.
Stevie joined the girls only shortly before Claire died.
Claire McLeod spent her whole life on the farm, leaving school to help her father with the work. The reason for the series' creators to kill off Claire's character was the wish of actress Lisa Chappell to leave and go on with her career. As it would be completely out of character for Claire to leave Drovers Run, the only option left was to have her character die.

10. And now for the farming life itself. Though the show centers around the lives and fates of its characters, it also depicts the life on the farm where they live, thus adding to the unique atmosphere of the series. The main income of the McLeod's girls comes from livestock. Which one of these animal species is not raised on the farm?

Answer: pigs

Breeding horses was Claire's big dream. Shearing the sheep on time sometimes became the girls' nightmare. Tess had some issues about being a cattle farmer in the beginning of the series, including her fear of large animals. However, as time went by she became a good farmer, earning the respect of her friends and neighbours and proving herself to be a true McLeod's daughter.

Though many of the show's storylines tend to follow similar themes, this quiz gives only an oversimplified idea of the plot. However, the details in the different situations, the beautiful setting as well as the acting skills of the cast give depth to the story. This makes "McLeod's Daughters" a wonderful show, touching the hearts of its many fans.

I hope you enjoyed playing my quiz!
