Can three Bachies save the franchise? It doesn't look good

The lights went out for the last time on Ramsay Street yesterday, as the very final scene of Australian soap Neighbours was put in the can.

Sarah Snook has won rave reviews for her portrayal of Siobhan “Shiv” Roy in HBO’s “Succession”, but in a new interview with Variety she reveals why she initially turned the role down.

Neighbours star Stefan Dennis says he “surprised himself” when he became emotional on the last day of filming the long-running Australian soap.The actor, who played the villainous Paul Robinson, said it was “a melancholy day” as he looked back at his experiences from the past 37 years, including run-ins with the Royal Family.The soap first aired in 1985 and follows the lives of those living and working in the fictional Melbourne suburb of Erinsborough, with Dennis joining the show as one of the original cast members. Speaking on the Australian breakfast programme Studio 10, Dennis said he had had to keep a “very low profile” on the last day, in order to avoid becoming “an absolute mess”.

Neighbours is making a return in the UK, but not in the way you would expect.

The tour will begin in March 2023 and celebrate the past 40 years of the soap.

Guy Pearce is the latest big name to be returning to his soap alma mater of Ramsay Street, with the Memento star joining the cast for the grand finale of Australian soap Neighbours.

Neighbours star Bonnie Anderson has announced she is pregnant with her first child. The actress – known for playing Bea Nillson in the soap – and her fiancée Sam Morrison said they ‘couldn’t be more excited’ after announcing their big news.

Shirley Ju The Kid Laroi’s “Stay,” his monster hit with Justin Bieber, is creeping up on 1 billion on-demand streams, per data from Luminate, with its official music video racking 546 million views on YouTube and counting. To say that Laroi has officially arrived would be an understatement.At only 18 years old, the Australian singer-songwriter has accomplished what many musicians aspire to inin a lifetime: signed to Columbia Records, whose roster includes Adele, Bruce Springsteen and Harry Styles, he’s been nominated for a Grammy, performed on “Saturday Night Live” (alongside Miley Cyrus for his breakout hit, “Without You”) and collaborated with his idol, the late Juice WRLD.Laroi’s most recent release, “Thousand Miles,” written about his current girlfriend before they started dating, made another big splash when it debuted in April, thanks in large part to a TikTok promoting the record, which featured images of Laroi’s former manager Scooter Braun, implying that Braun was a “mistake.” (Braun was in on the hoax, he later revealed; and Laroi has since parted with his most recent representative, Adam Leber.) Variety spoke with Laroi in Culver City, Calif., where he was performing virtually for Kid Cudi’s Encore app.
