Madeleine West joins Tak for a raw, funny and wide-ranging conversation about Neighbours, surviving a near-fatal accident, rebuilding her identity, stand-up comedy, advocacy and the landmark Survivors Law.

What we get into:

* Motherhood and embracing the chaos

* The landmark Survivors Law and why it matters

* Speaking publicly about childhood sexual abuse and confronting her perpetrator

* Landing Dee Bliss after just two days with an agent

* Walking away from Neighbours at the height of her success

* The bus accident that shattered her face and her sense of identity

* Rebuilding a career beyond being “the soap girl”

* Doing stand-up comedy while heavily pregnant

* Dee’s wedding-day cliff plunge and one of Neighbours’ most iconic exits

* Returning as Dee and evil twin Andrea
