Show Notes
No character, in the history of television, has ever schemed or been redeemed more often than Paul Robinson, played to dastardly effect by the one and only Stefan Dennis.
SPOILERS AHEAD – this episode contains spoilers for the finale of Neighbours.
So lock in because in this episode Stefan gets real with us about:
How his hit song “Don’t It Make You Feel Good” originates from a casual voiceover session and reached #16 in the UK. The unofficial Neighbours band with Craig McLachlan and Kylie Minogue, crediting Greg Petherick for discovering Kylie. Participating in Strictly Come Dancing to learn dancing for his wife, only to be forced out by an injury after the Charleston. Stefan’s 6,000+ episodes as Paul Robinson, and how fatherhood enhances his portrayal of vulnerability. Parenting tips as a father of three, being mentally present and setting boundaries for kids. Travel with his wife, a potential Strictly tour, and a motorcycle trip across Australia. Not retiring as an actor, the emotional end of Neighbours, and his pride in a varied career.
Here at Bin Night with Tak And Matty we’re hosting your unofficial Neighbours after party, where your favourite Ramsay Street couple wheel the bins out, talk trash and bicker like an old married couple.
Hosted by Takaya Honda (David Tanaka) and Matty Wilson (Aaron Brennan), this is your direct line to all the goss about the show, the cast, the fans and what really happens after the credits roll. Catch you on the street every single Thursday.
And if you’re having a tough time of it after the recent tragedies at Bondi and around the world, please don’t struggle alone. In Australia you can talk to someone at LIFELINE (131114 and https://www.lifeline.org.au/), and in the UK Shout https://giveusashout.org/
