Won’t happen. Neighbours isn’t even that popular in Ireland, so there‘s no way they’ll be prepared to stump up the money that C5 did. People are just clutching at straws now I think.Irish channel Rte are in talks with Fremantle according to twitter
Ha! I left a comment yesterday saying that RTE might provide a lifeline since the Aussie soaps are still pretty popular over here. I didn't think they'd cough up the cash (if we're talking millions of pounds a year) but maybe they will!Irish channel Rte are in talks with Fremantle according to twitter
I don't think many of them will find work easily, unfortunately. "Chloe" has a look that would fit in well on Home and Away, but there are a 1,000,001 other pretty up-and-coming actresses who share the same look and would probably be cheaper.Dr Karl has spoken too

"Very sad day in Oz television."www.digitalspy.com
Speaking of losing their jobs how well do people think the cast will do away from the soap? A lot of them are typecast like Karl, Susan, Paul and Toadie who will always be seen for that role but I can see them offered things here like I'm A Celebrity and Dancing On Ice. Bland characters like Aaron, David and Jane I don't see offers flooding in for. There is probably only Chloe that I could see ending up on a big subscription service production or going to Hollywood either for a movie or a sitcom/drama.
Eastenders is a big expensive lemon though ... didn't they just move to a new set not that long ago?I agree, Eastenders is horrendous and relentlessly feel bad
The character you’re talking about is Ned and actually the actor that played him, Meyne Wyatt, stood up for Sharon Johal and said he had been a victim of racism too if that’s what you meant by no complaintsI still think the racism accusations were sour grapes that certain actors got the boot or didn't have their guest stint extended. There was an Aboriginal man who lived with Karl and Susan a few years back - ex-army, I think? - he never had any complaints.
I have seen people mention that "Dipi" was a nightmare to work with, which I could definitely see as she seems to think she's better than everyone else.
It is very sad ... the end of an era. I do understand the real-life residents' feelings about it:
... Sure, the extra income from having a 'TV house' would be nice, but can you imagine how many unsolicited "visitors" you'd get? I wouldn't like it.Neighbours' real life residents are 'keen to get their street back'
It emerged on Sunday that iconic Aussie soap Neighbours is facing the axe, after UK broadcaster Channel 5, which foots most of the production bill, will not be renewing the show.www.dailymail.co.uk
Another reason I've always preferred Home and Away is because of its stunning location. But now that show's real-life residents have kicked up a stink (https://www.smh.com.au/national/int...ts-welcome-at-palm-beach-20220120-p59pv7.html), maybe its days are numbered too?

The actress who played Dipi seemed to only follow certain cast members on insta and never the a tress who played her sister or the actor who played her husband. When she left she seemed to unfollow them all. When she came back to get Yashvi, she said she only worked with people she felt comfortable with. I do wonder if everything she said was true, I believe she did suffer from racism, but I also think she may have been difficult to work with.I still think the racism accusations were sour grapes that certain actors got the boot or didn't have their guest stint extended. There was an Aboriginal man who lived with Karl and Susan a few years back - ex-army, I think? - he never had any complaints.

Thanks. I didn’t realise I got the name wrongThis is a fun read (about the sets):

You're good! I'm sorry I didn't do my research firstThanks. I didn’t realise I got the name wrong
As the boss of her family who's played a big role for a decade to be written out off screen and then for that person to play down the show being cancelled it very much looks like a firing or they would have given her a big send off.Re: Colette Mann.
For all we know she may be 'leaving', as per Roy Cropper in Corrie, last year. Who later returned.
She may be back this year, or before the show ends.
Who knows.As the boss of her family who's played a big role for a decade to be written out off screen and then for that person to play down the show being cancelled it very much looks like a firing or they would have given her a big send off.
But that wouldn't explain her being so off about the future of the show like she's gone from it so no longer cares and is moody over being let go. If she was just gone for a short Roy Cropper period I would expect her tweets about the show being cancelled to be a lot more positive saying she hopes it is saved, love the show etc.Who knows.
Although David Neilson dropped red herrings about his departure from Corrie. Later proved to be a smoke screen.
We don't know Sheila has gone for good. She may be back before the end, it is currently not known.
There is no indication on any sources that Sheila is permanently departing Neighbours.
For all we know the actor may be taking an extended break, or has health issues.
Yes agreed. I thought Susan (Jackie) was very dignified on that clip a few pages back. It can't have been easy. She did kind of say though in a nice way that the cast they had would pull together and finish the show without Kylie or anyone popping up. In a way it must grate to think that that is necessary. I did read that Jason Donovan had put out a statement about it, but he does have "skin in the game" still with his daughter being in it...But that wouldn't explain her being so off about the future of the show like she's gone from it so no longer cares and is moody over being let go.

I don't want Kylie back in one respect, as she will over shadow the show. I read that she doesn't think the show was significant in her career as she wasn't on it for a long time, she wouldn't have a career without neighbours so she shouldn't be so disparaging about the show. Of any cast.members do come back, ones linked to the current cast would be great, the Brennan's, Piper, Xanthe, Naomi, the Rebecchis, Libby etc. Having said all that Kylie and Jason coming back would be great, they have links to Paul and Charlene has links to Roxy. I'd also love Harold and love to come back, more thank Scott and Charlene.Yes agreed. I thought Susan (Jackie) was very dignified on that clip a few pages back. It can't have been easy.
