Bin Night with Tak and Matty

Morgan Baker joins us for a funny and honest chat about growing up on Neighbours, life as Toadie’s son, and figuring out who he was beyond the show.

What we get into:

Starting Neighbours at just 10 years old, and why leaving at 17 was about more than walking away from a show. It was about backing himself, focusing on study, and chasing a future beyond Ramsay Street.
What it was really like growing up on screen alongside Ryan Moloney (Toadie), who played his dad, and the lessons he picked up from one of the show’s most familiar faces.
The brilliantly stupid green room prank with Matt Werkmeister that ended in disaster - a recycling bin, a frightened co-star, and hot coffee going everywhere.
The haircut mishap that turned into an unexpected continuity headache when he came back for the Neighbours reboot flashbacks.
Why he still gets recognised now, and why a part of him feels he may always be known as the kid from Neighbours — or Toadie’s son.
How spending so many of his formative years as one character started to blur the lines between performance and identity, until he realised he needed to step away and find out who he was outside the show.
What life looks like now as a freelancer carving out his own path in the film and TV industry.

From his early days behind the scenes on Ramsay Street to life as a professional stand-up comedian, Brett shares the moments that shaped him — including a few that nearly finished him.

Making the jump from behind the scenes into stand-up comedy and life in front of the camera
Tales from the Neighbours set and working with Tak, Matty and the wider team
The trials and tribulations of being a professional stand-up comedian and how he handles people leaving mid-show
How being arrested when he was younger changed the course of his life and pushed him to turn things around
Living with dyslexia and the unique way he learns lines for roles in The Twelve and The Tourist
Why being part of Taskmaster was one of the best experiences of his life despite never watching it beforehand
Being attacked by a shark while working as an underwater camera operator and other times he’s nearly died on set
His time working at the airport and the wild story about what happens if horses freak out mid-flight

From missing out on one role to landing another, to real-life romance, throuple storylines and life after Ramsay Street, Liam Maguire gets properly honest about how Neighbours changed everything.

What we get into:
The full audition story, originally going for Logan, missing out, and how that ultimately led to him being cast as Rhett Norman instead
Why he was so keen to play a gay villain in the first place, and what excited him about that kind of character on a show like Neighbours
His real-life relationship with Jakob Ambrose (Colton), how they met on set, and how their connection grew alongside their storyline
What it was actually like filming the throuple scenes with Matty and Jakob, and the surreal moment when some viewers genuinely thought those scenes were something very different
How life after Neighbours has been shaped by the show, and why his relationship with Jakob still feels tied to that world
His long-term ambition to move into comedy writing, and why that is where he sees his future more than acting
Why he would hesitate to ever write a romantic project and cast Jakob in it, even now
The real story of their first kiss and how their off-screen romance properly began

Ben Jackson joins Bin Night to talk about landing the role of Max Ramsay on Neighbours, from catching the acting bug as a kid to surviving terrifying auditions and early stage mishaps. He shares behind-the-scenes stories from Ramsay Street and shows off his brilliant cast impressions.
What we get into:

Getting the acting bug at a young age and earning a place at drama school, the moment he realised performing might actually become his career.
His terrifying first professional experience on stage, cast as an understudy and suddenly having to go on during opening night, including the unforgettable moment he completely fluffed a line in front of a packed audience.
Landing the role of Max Ramsay on Neighbours and the hilarious story of his very first encounter with Alan Fletcher that instantly made him feel part of Ramsay Street.
The nerve-wracking audition process for Neighbours, including the moment he nearly messed it up while auditioning opposite Stefan Dennis and why the whole experience was genuinely terrifying.
What life on the Neighbours set was really like behind the scenes, and the genuine shock and devastation felt by the cast when news came through that the show had been cancelled.
Discovering just how talented an impressionist he is, with uncanny impressions of Lucinda Cowden, Ryan Moloney, Sally-Anne Upton and Annie Jones, plus a cheeky take on Bin Night’s very own Peeping Tom.
And of course, Peeping Tom has another dilemma, so Tak calls in reinforcements and brings in Ben Jackson and Riley Bryant (JJ) to help solve it in classic Bin Night fashion.
