Spencer McLaren sits down with actor and musician Abi Tucker for a nostalgic, heartfelt reunion celebrating 25 years of The Secret Life of Us. From early auditions and unforgettable St Kilda nights to the creative risks that made the series groundbreaking, Abi reflects on her journey from Heartbreak High and Wildside into Miranda’s world — and how music, friendship and authenticity shaped her performance.

The conversation also looks forward, touching on Abi’s work on Play School, her evolving creative life, and why the themes of identity, love and finding your place still resonate 25 years later.
