Neighbours star Majella Davis on previous roles she auditioned for

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours actress Majella Davis is one of the new faces who joined the Australian soap since its revival on Amazon Freevee, playing the character Krista Sinclair.

While she's currently involved in scenes with her on-screen sister Reece (Mischa Barton) and Melanie Pearson (Lucinda Cowden), things could have been quite different as she actually auditioned for a few other roles previously.

In a video on the official Neighbours Instagram, Majella revealed: "I auditioned once upon a time for Nicolette Stone, and I also auditioned for Chloe once upon a time, and I guess Krista was meant to be."

She also talked about how she didn't initially know that she was playing the on-screen sister of the famous The OC actress until she read the cast list and saw that they shared a surname.

"She was really excited to work with me and I was obviously really excited to work with her," she said, calling it a "a little overwhelming".

Majella added that Neighbours is her first big acting gig and that Mischa was really friendly and welcoming with her as she learnt to adjust to set.

As far as Krista's storylines are concerned, the near future will see plenty of "ups and downs" but there is a "great redemption" arc on the way for her.

There's also plenty of drama for the characters that Majella missed out on, as Nicolette will face an arrest drama in upcoming episodes, while Chloe has got a big secret she doesn't want coming out.

Neighbours releases new episodes from Mondays to Thursdays for free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. In Australia, the show airs from Mondays to Thursdays at 4pm on Channel 10, with a 6.30pm repeat screening on 10 Peach.
