Neighbours legend Stefan Dennis has an idea in mind for a potential spin-off following the axe of the Aussie soap. The Paul Robinson star said there’s a concept that has been “bandied around” after Neighbours aired its second series finale in a matter of years.

Chatting on the Bin Night with Tak and Matty podcast, the actor expressed confusion as to why the soap was cancelled by Prime Video, where it aired for free after Channel 5 pulled the plug in 2022.

When the hosts suggested a spinoff could be on the cards, Dennis coyly replied: “You’re on the money.”

“I’m not saying it’s going to be done, but this is what’s been bandied around at the moment,” he added.

Dennis then suggested that Neighbours could be revived in a new form – but not copying the Robinson Towers and Ramsay Hills ideas that were set up in the finale.

“Not necessarily the Robinson Towers and the Ramsay Hills, but an idea that was bandied around was actually taking it back, making it retro, taking it back to the 80s,” he said.

Dennis also said that “a new trend” consists in “taking old soaps and making them into new, gritty limited series”, and that Neighbours could be moving in that direction.

He explained he met with Neighbours producer Jason Herbison, who told him: “‘If it did ever come back, it would come back as a different show'”.

“This is all speculation,” Dennis finally added.

Asked about filming the last episode of Neighbours, again, Dennis admitted it was “weird”.

“It was weird because… It wasn’t anything like the last one,” he said.

“The one that we did in [2022], that was emotional, that was a bit of everything because we’d actually been built up to that one,” he continued.

“So we knew it was coming, even though we were prepared, we weren’t prepared for all of this, whereas this one just kind of came out of the blue.”
