This week, we're keeping it in the family! Our little sister, AFLW superstar and former Matilda Brianna Davey, joins us on the couch for a very special episode of Girls Next Door.

From being banned from playing footy as a little girl to representing Australia in soccer, becoming one of the first AFLW players and winning the league's highest individual honour, Bree's sporting career is nothing short of incredible.

But this isn't your typical sporting interview. We're digging into the family archives and sharing some hilarious childhood stories, from Bree's savage handwritten letters to the neighbours and her dramatic attempts to run away from home, to the infamous Sunrise interview after celebrating her AFLW Best and Fairest win a little too hard.

There are plenty of laughs, a few emotional moments and some serious sisterly roasting as we get to know a very different side of Brianna Davey.

Girls Next Door

Our Sister Brianna Davey: The Stories You've Never Heard

It's Halloween at Girls Next Door, and Steph and Holly have gone all out with their costumes. Holly's channeling Mike Tyson, Steph's dressed as Regina George and things are already getting ridiculous.

Steph's back on the dating apps, and it's just as grim as she remembers. The girls also rank their biggest everyday jump scares, from awkward social encounters to one seriously embarrassing lingerie photo.

In the Letterbox, we're tackling family business dramas and a boyfriend secretly gambling away shared savings. Plus, a manager spying on her coworkers, a tarot reading that ended a relationship, and two Halloween horror stories involving a mum hiding in a wardrobe and a mysterious man who let himself into someone's home.

Happy Halloween, neighbours! 🎃

Steph's Dating App Nightmare & The Photo She Regrets Sending 😭

Is having a baby after 35 really something to worry about, or could it actually be a sign of living longer?

This week, Steph and Holly are talking biological clocks, geriatric pregnancies and why turning 35 might not be as scary as we've been led to believe.

Then, the Neighbours have some serious dilemmas. A mum admits she doesn't enjoy motherhood, a $4 apple pie destroys a six-year friendship, and a toxic ex threatens to undo months of healing.

Plus, one Neighbour is questioning her sexuality after developing feelings for another woman, another is terrified her new boyfriend will discover her webbed toes, and a pregnant woman may be in danger because of her partner's behaviour.

And just when you think things can't get any more unhinged, a terrifying story about a broken-down lift takes a seriously dark turn.

From motherhood and messy friendships to sexuality, insecurities and a few very questionable confessions, it's another week in the neighbourhood!

Pregnant After 35? You Might Live to 100

This week, Steph and Holly are joined by model, influencer and Live and Let B co-host Olivia Mathers for a very honest chat about breakups, turning 30, dating and finding yourself again.

Fresh out of a relationship, Olivia opens up about why she walked away, the peace that came with her decision and rediscovering her feminine side. The girls dive into attachment styles, love languages and whether your late 20s really are the beginning of a quarter-life crisis.

Then it's time for a new game of Live and Let B, where the girls decide when to intervene in someone else's relationship and when to mind their own business.

Plus, the Neighbours are back with some wild dilemmas. Is 21 too young to buy a house with your boyfriend? Should you delete your ex from Instagram? Can swimming actually stop your period? And what happens when you steal your friend's vibrator... and then use it?

From heartfelt relationship advice to some seriously unhinged confessions, this episode has a little bit of everything.

Live and Let B: When Should You Intervene? Would you tell your friend her boyfriend is wrong for her? What if your best mate is marrying someone you can't stand? Olivia, Steph and Holly debate when to speak up and when to stay out of it.

Attachment Styles & Love Languages Can the person you're dating change your attachment style? The girls unpack anxious and avoidant attachment, reassurance and why the love you give isn't always the love you want to receive.

Letters in the Letterbox: Are We Too Young to Buy a House? A 20-year-old Neighbour and her boyfriend are financially ready to buy their first home, but everyone keeps telling them they're too young. Should they follow their gut or listen to the people around them?
