Podcast appearances and mentions of dee bliss

Madeleine West has lived many lives— from Neighbours’ Dee Bliss to Underbelly’s Danielle McGuire, she’s been a fixture on Australian screens for decades. Beyond acting, she’s also an advocate, a survivor, and now, at 47, she’s stepping into a surprising new chapter... motherhood for the seventh time. What she first thought was menopause turned out to be an unexpected pregnancy, something that took time to embrace. But that’s not the only battle Madeleine has faced. Just a few years ago, she made the courageous decision to help police uncover a pedophile—the man who abused her as a child. In this deeply personal and powerful conversation, Madeleine opens up about: How she came to terms with becoming a mother again at 47 The media storm that forced her to announce her pregnancy before she was ready The darkness she had to push through to become the woman she is today The moment she wore a wire to confront her abuser This is a story of survival, strength, and reclaiming your own narrative - no matter how impossible it may seem.

We begin at the gig of Alan Fletcher's band, Waiting Room! Kate and Vaya bring you along for a Sunday session at the Waterhole before launching into the triumphant return of Nanny Alice in her leopard-print best, snooping on Erinsborough the only way she knows how: from behind some shrubbery.

CJ and Vaya meet Renee Turner, the mother of John Turner, better known as Toadie's Baby Hugo! She tells us all about his life on the Neighbours set and we try to nut out how the heck there's a potential THIRD Dee Bliss out there!

In my opinion here are the most dramatic deaths from Dee Bliss to Kate Ramsay

Neighbours played the long-game on Boiled Ham's hot tub murder from last November!! In this mini-ep (definitely not Ep 100!!) CJ, Kate and Vaya plough through all the loose weeds that Cassius has pruned into a neat bouquet, despite his complete lack of horticultural skills. Plus genealogical product placement; and Aunty Suz makes up Elly's sex bed... WTF? Hit up neighbuzzpod.com for more nonsense. And subscribe to a brand new podcast recapping non-Neighbours telly: Buddywatch!

Is there a doctor in the studio? YES! Neighbours dropped a health BOMBSHELL on poor BrenSis so CJ and Vaya consult friend of the show Dr Cathy to walk us through it; and since Amy is broadcasting her pap smear news around town we debut a new segment called Pap Chat. It's a great time.

That's not clickbait; that's just what Dee is called now. She reckons she's back but we're not falling for this schtick again. From Melbourne's PirateNet studios, Kate and Vaya celebrate the arrival of Pippa from Home and Away; puzzle over same-day interstate travel; and the Ceramic Pig takes the form of Ned and Aarondownthemines in their togs.

Once in a blue moon, we are blessed with a near perfect episode of #Neighbours. On Thursday 28 June, 2018, we got a cracker. Never in our wildest dreams did we expect the Ned and Loz plot of 2017 to get another run and yet here we are. Also Toadfish has spawned. And there was a dance-a-thon. Bec Dahl joins a Madge-esque Vaya to talk it out. More Neighbuzz episodes at neighbuzzpod.com or chat with us in the Neighbuzz Council on Facebook. Listen to Bec's show, Chicks Talkin' Footy on Joy 94.9 or catch the podcast on iTunes.

In this mini-episode, Vaya chats to TV writer/ script producer/ Summer Bay traitor Dan Bennett about THAT scene featuring another bloody Dee appearance. Dan gives a whole lotta insight into how the soap sausage is made... (He even spent a year working on Neighbours!) Follow @DanMBennett and @neighbuzzpod on Twitter

In the 66th episode, CJ, Vaya and guest Bonnie Tangey (RAW Comedy finalist!) are in Lassiters Sydney for the Cast Away Awards – SPOILER ALERT – Neighbuzz won for the TV, Film & Pop Culture category! We recorded this episode just before the big event but have included some highlights from the evening for you. Thank you for your lovely messages of congratulations – we are beyond thrilled. Neighbours-wise, we cover that lighthearted soap plotline of a foetus funeral, as well as the demise of the Rebecchi marriage and a touch of impending incest. What fun!

In the 65th episode, CJ, Kate and Vaya mourn Dee once more with the climax (in more ways than one) of the FakeDee storyline in London. Everyone from Nellyfish to DullCop acts their rear ends off as Toadie cheats on Sonya WHILE SHE WATCHES ON VIA SKYPE. GAH! Meanwhile, GazCan and Terage whip up a spag-bol. We also bring you a special report on the state of the Neighbours broadcast negotiations, and we de-brief on the Ned interview from Ep 64.

We welcome another Neighbours cast member to the PirateNet Studios and it's actor BEN HALL, a.k.a Ned, a.k.a Natalie Imbruglia's fictional son, a.k.a, everybody's TV boyfriend and yes, we lost our tiny minds. In this gem of a bonus ep, Ben Hall talks Neighbours and Nedbours with CJ and Vaya for a delightful hour. Ben watched four of the week's episodes for us too (even though we only asked him to watch one!) so we even get stuck into the recent car crash and Dee skipping town eps. Ben also spills the beans on one hell of an abandoned storyline involving Ned and another character - prepare to be stunned. Vaya needed a moment. Anyway, stop reading this and listen to this ep three times. You will not regret. Check out neighbuzzpod.com to learn more about the show. www.neighbuzzpod.com @neighbuzzpod @vayapashos @remued @becauseiampink @benhall23

Vaya is joined by raconteur Hunter Smith and accidental founder of Australia's original Neighbours fan club, Brad Walker! We cover the return of Dr Clive Gibbons; the return of Dee’s love for Toadie, and the return of Steph’s psychosis! Check out neighbuzzpod.com to learn more about the show and if you're in London on Sunday April 30, stand by for details on a Neighbuzz live show...

In the 62nd episode, Vaya is joined by writer/comedian Penny Tangey and her mum Marilyn Tangey for a very holy episode in the PirateNet Studios. Vaya gets Penny (lapsed Catholic) and Penny's mum Marilyn (actual Catholic) to weigh in on all the biz with Father Jack, Paige's devil spawn, and the Bish. Dee/FakeDee/RealDee/IDunnoAnymore messes with the wrong toy marsupial. Marilyn (a former teacher) schools Ms Conway on how to handle delinquent students. And Penny swears a HECK of a lot in front of her mum on the Lord's day! Thank you to Clare for sending in the email that inspired this episode, and to Mary, Kenny and Ben for your ace voice memos.

In the 61st episode, Vaya and CJ are joined by an international guest: Kat from The Blaze – a 90210 podcast! We cover Valentine’s Day on Ramsay Street from the PirateNet Studios… Los Angeles-born Kat has spent a lot of time in Australia but never watched Neighbours until this week, so we caught her up on thirty years of soap plot. Find out which Erinsborough resident Kat crows Citizen of the Week, which fellas she classifies as 'hunks' plus all of her Dee theories. This is also Ned's last week as the character leaves to pursue his inky dreams in Queensland. But just wait for the reaction to Kat meeting Vaya's original TV boyfriend, Jason Priestley. swoon Check out neighbuzzpod.com to learn more about Neighbuzz and 90210blaze.tumblr.com for more info on Kat's podcast! www.neighbuzzpod.com @neighbuzzpod @vayapashos @remued @becauseiampink @90210blaze

We are still not buying that Dee is not really Dee (#trueDeeliever) and you can imagine our response to Sindi F*cking Watts turning up for a slice of Stately Bliss Manor… Thankfully the Canning-Kennedy feud is very much holding our interest with stunts a-plenty; we give the side-eye to Paige’s premature baby shower, and we celebrate Tyles landing a job at a venue that cannot legally admit his girlfriend. Check out neighbuzzpod.com to learn more about the show. @neighbuzzpod @vayapashos @remued @becauseiampink

In the 59th episode, Nellyfish’s actual namesake, 'Jellyfish' (from Stage Door Podcast) joins CJ, Kate and Vaya to cover the week of Jan 30 in the PirateNet Studios for one heck of a DEEveal. Team Sonya is pitted against Team Dee, and friendships are on the line as poor Jelly is forced to defend Sonya at every turn. Plus everyone is so stressed about the Team Andrea/ Team Willow reveal that we barely notice that there is a woman pregnant with a priest's baby. The Ceramic Pig of the week manifests as an orange-flinging, mud-slinging, hose-pointing nanna fight, which almost soothes us. But the Pod Squad is rattled about whether or not Dee is Dee. Are you a True Deeliever? Check out neighbuzzpod.com to learn more about the show and chat to us. www.neighbuzzpod.com @neighbuzzpod @vayapashos @remued @becauseiampink @stagedoorpod

It’s Dee! Or is it? Special guest Cal Wilson joins us as Neighbours brings back a beloved character thought to be lost at sea 13 years ago only to plant giant beanstalks of doubt all over the street that it’s even really her. Not on our watch! #TeamDee 5ever. You’d think Dee’s return to Toadie would be enough for a week of episodes but no, there was also room for a Ceramic Wombat. More info at neighbuzzpod.com @neighbuzzpod @vayapashos @remued @becauseiampink @calbo

It’s Neighbuzz, a Neighbours recap podcast, rehashing the events on Ramsay Street. In the 57th episode, Penny Tangey, Christina Adams and Vaya Pashos cover the week of Jan 16 in the PirateNet Studios… FINALLY, we get a big whiff of Dee Bliss! Plus afternoon delight all around the street, Pyles is on the run to the least glamourous Victorian holiday destination of them all, and Summer School becomes a thing but no one has studied up on appropriate schoolyard attire. More info at neighbuzzpod.com

The pod squad details their road trip to Werribee to visit the site of Dee's disappearance. Dee's back by the way, but only in dream form; nobody on Ramsay Street ships Pyles, but we are all team PaulRage; Kuze's Blue Box gets a French twist... Oh and the new opening titles sequence sends shockwaves around the globe. Check out neighbuzzpod.com to learn more about the show. www.neighbuzzpod.com @neighbuzzpod @vayapashos @remued @becauseiampink SFX: freesfx.co.uk

Vaya chats to Madeleine West about the return of Dee Bliss! Plus Angus can’t control his wangus; Fifi Box reaches peak cartoon villain levels; Sonya has a pro-life dilemma before her eggs are even fertilised; and Nana Tanaka’s dying words are a lot less ambiguous than Rosebud... Check out neighbuzzpod.com to learn more about the show. @neighbuzzpod @vayapashos @remued @becauseiampink
