They could show neighbours before and then Hollyoaks would gain more viewers. I wondered if sky would be interested as they don't have a soap
The end of Neighbours? The numbers don’t (quite) add up
Neighbours still pulls one million viewers a day in the UK. So, how come the UK’s fourth-biggest soap opera got axed?
Our number 4 soap behind the big 3. Over twice as many viewers as Home and Away so that show must be cheaper to make somehow for that never to have rumours of being axed.
I read channel 5 have a deal to show H&a as long as it’s made, probably why they’ve shoved it over to 5 star.
I looked up viewing figures for ch5 and last week of January Neighbours comes in 11th, 16th, 19th in the top 20 shows shown that week.
The more I read about the new head of ch5 it seems he trying to reinvent the station which means ditching shows that are still popular. I hope they outcry by fans makes another sit up and realise it’s a good show to take on.

Neighbours announces Gemma Bird Matheson as new cast member
She will play Kiri Hua Durant.
Bad timing for her to get a job and with her being queer and a person of colour she ticks a few boxes for a show that's seen by the press as racist.
I had no idea Jackie was brought up in Ireland! Her accent really surprised me in this clip

Neighbours star talks show's uncertain future: 'We need a hero'
Karl Kennedy actor speaks out on "huge shock" of Channel 5 axing.
Good to see support from Home and Away especially as a lot of people will lose their jobs.....
Home and Away actor voices support for Neighbours cast as the show's future hangs in the balance
"Very sad day in Oz television."
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.
She's too tight to do that, she's self obsessed. Also if she saved it, we might have to endure a guest appearance from her, she might even sing, that would be worse than Bea
Sheila’s exit is going to be off camera. So she will just randomly vanish one day. How strange…
i keep hoping someone like ITV would step in and make it Itv2’s early evening soap but I’m not sure it fits it’s target audience and I’m guessing it’s unlikely due to the cost.
I agree, Eastenders is horrendous and relentlessly feel bad
The ratings for the big three are high like 5m plus but seem to be in decline but quite slowly. I haven’t watched Eastenders in over 20 years, always seems very bleak and depressing.
Every few years rumours swirl around about hollyoaks and with the viewing figures I’m amazed channel 4 haven’t cancelled it so I can’t see channel 4 wanting neighbours.

Very strange, do you think she got sacked?
I think so. She was also very blase when talking about the show on Twitter saying it ‘had a good run’ amongst other stuff.
She hasn't read the room when compared to how other cast members have reacted to the news. I think she's been sacked and probably because of the race row.
I think we safely assume she was the racist in the cast. TBH I think we all knew it was her anyway once the likes of Karl, Susan, Toadie, Paul and Terese were ruled out.
I must admit I didn't think it was her. Although I was never really sure who it could be because so many were ruled out. She worked so closely with the actor who made the complaint. If it was her, what an awful thing to have to work that closely with someone who was being racist toward you.
I wonder if anyone else will speak out once it's no longer on air.
Irish channel Rte are in talks with Fremantle according to twitter
