It's a bitter pill to swallow for the legions of fans across the globe who tune in for their daily dose of sunshine and drama, given the particularly finite nature of the soap's final storyline.
In what was then deemed the finale, a wedding party was attended by a multitude of former Ramsay Street residents, including the iconic Scott and Charlene Robinson (Jason Donovan and Kylie Mingoue).
But that's not the case this time. The Nunawading Studios, where Neighbours was filmed for 39 years, have been handed back to their landlord. A plot that threatens the redevelopment of the famed cul de sac to build a new freeway is largely unresolved, and it's likely that the characters are facing a future apart from one another.
Here he speaks to RadioTimes.com about what that might look like, and whether it would be feasible in an ever-changing media landscape.
I saw an opportunity to set the show up for a new kind of comeback, perhaps as a spin-off or limited series. The finale is designed to give viewers a taste of what those alternate Neighbours universes could look like.
There is a great opportunity for at least two new shows to emerge from ashes of Neighbours – Ramsay Hills and Robinson Towers!
We talk about what those alternate stories might look like in the final episodes. Ramsay Hills is brand new suburb – such a show would be quite similar to the Neighbours viewers already know.
In my dreamscape, we would make short run seasons of both shows and alternate them. When one ends, the other returns. There could be crossovers of characters and returns to Ramsay Street, if it’s still standing. Who knows, perhaps one day?
The possibilities are endless. I have an idea for a Christmas movie – maybe that could happen? That said, I’m also enjoying working on new projects at the moment...
Are the team still actively pursuing the chance to bring Neighbours back?
If Neighbours were to return, would you still like to produce the show, or hand over the reins to someone else?
I will always be interested in what happens to the brand, but it may not be me taking it forward in the future. It all depends on where I am in my career.
The creative part is fun, but there’s also the management side, which can be all-consuming. I’m personally very happy to have a break from that pace.
But if a new broadcaster is interested in Ramsay Hills or Robinson Towers, I would be happy to share my vision.
The television landscape has evolved greatly since Neighbours and the other iconic soaps were launched. Who knows? That’s really the answer.
