01:25:07||Season 1, Ep. 18Morgan 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.#BinNightPodcast #MorganBaker #Neighbours #RyanMoloney #MattWerkmeister #AustralianTV #AussiePodcast #RamsayStreetGot a dilemma for Tak and Matty to help with?
