Majella Davis | 13

Written By Takaya HONDA

This week on Bin Night, we’re joined by Majella Davis for a heartfelt and hilarious deep dive into the journey that took her from rural New South Wales to Ramsay Street. From twin sister dynamics and early band dreams to almost quitting acting altogether, Majella shares the real story behind the resilience, rejection and random twists that led her to Neighbours.

Content note: This episode contains discussion of miscarriage and baby loss.

What we get into: 

  • Growing up a country gal in rural NSW and why Bananas in Pyjamas helped spark her love of performing

  • Having a twin sister, competing for the spotlight and their band Girl in a Drum. 

  • Drama school struggles, brutal audition knockbacks and the moment she nearly quit acting to become a midwife

  • Her first audition for Neighbours for the role of Nicolette and a chemistry screen test with Tim Kano

  • Landing her first major TV role as Krista Sinclair and adjusting to sudden fame

  • Her close friendship with Tak and how they bonded between scenes

  • The emotional toll of filming Krista’s miscarriage scenes, including the research she undertook to portray it truthfully and sensitively
