When Ditch Davey said yes to a role in Paper Dolls, he didn't realise the impact it was going to have on him.
In the eight-part drama based on the story of girl group Bardot, Australia's answer to TrueBliss the former Home And Away actor plays a record company executive who has an exploitative sexual relationship with one of the teen singers on his label.
"I've got a story about being taken advantage of when I was a young actor," confesses Ditch, 48. "That's something I've never mentioned and I didn't even recognise that it was a thing until I did this show. I was taken by surprise.
There was someone in a position of power who abused that power. At the time, I just thought, 'Oh, Jesus Christ, no one is immune." Paper Dolls is the story of fictional girl band Harlow, which has been put together via a reality TV show. Its five members face some tough issues, including struggles with sexuality and mental illness.
