Maxine’s character Terry Inglis debuted on Neighbours in 1985. Her time on screen only lasted under five months but she’s still remembered profoundly for being part of a turbulent and controversial plot.

During her time on the show, Inglis married antagonist Paul Robinson, portrayed by Stefan Dennis. Toward the end of her spell on the Australian soap, Terry is charged for the murder of Charles Durham and later ends her own life - a first for the show.

Maxine also played teenage rebel Bobbie Mitchell in Prisoner from 1983 until 1985.
