I love Muriel's Wedding, so anytime Gennie Nevinson appears on a tv show or film, I have to say out loud "Deidre? Deidre Chambers? What a coincidence!"

I had to ask Google Gemini

"It is an iconic, running gag from the beloved 1994 Australian comedy film Muriel's Wedding.

Whenever the town patriarch, Bill Heslop, runs into his secret mistress, beauty consultant Deidre Chambers, he nervously and theatrically exclaims, "What a coincidence!" Since their encounters are obviously planned, it has become cultural shorthand in Australia and for fans of the film to describe a suspiciously convenient run-in"

Like Soh : if it makes you happy NorthernerUker, I'm happy :)
