Liam Maguire | 15
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
