Show Notes
“I even got a call from Jason Herbison, our producer, asking if I’d stolen them!”
Rebekah Elmaloglou is here to set the record straight. She did not steal coffee pods from the Neighbours set.
The Kennedys’ couch however…
“I was given the couch! I did not steal the couch,” Bek says.
Bek Elmaloglou, aka Terese Willis, spends New Year’s Day taking out the bin with Takaya Honda (David Tanaka) and Matty Wilson (Aaron Brennan) and the set secrets are spilling left, right and centre. There’s a lot of love in the house, as Bek, Tak and Matty catch up on:
Bek’s worst ever moment with Matty Knocking down Lassiters Terese and Toadie’s fling The real friendships and camaraderie forged through intense filming schedules Perimenopause and the impacts of those tough hours on set and 4am alarms What Tak and Matty have learned from watching Bek parent her son Sleep-ins, and enjoying being a mum and wife now Neighbours has wrapped Grief for their characters and grief in their real lives Terese and Paul in Robinson Towers?? Is there a universe in which we could see a Neighbours and Home & Away crossover?
Plus Producer (Peeping) Tom emerges from the trash with a really moving Bin Chicken Dilemma. Got a dilemma? Send a voice memo or email: [email protected]
