After Neighbours, another Australian television programme, was cancelled by Channel 5 due to financial difficulties, worries about the future of the Australian soap opera increased.

Ben Frow, the station’s executive director, has confirmed that Home and Away will continue to air.

Mr. Frow clarified that it would continue to operate in the UK as long as its Australian creators kept it functioning.

When asked if Home and Away was in danger, he responded, “No. However, I think it will be intriguing to observe how we use it as we advance.

“There may be another location on the 5 spectrum where it belongs.

According to him, “It’s a life-of-series deal, so it won’t change until the producers decide to terminate it.”

After 37 seasons, Neighbours has been abruptly cancelled, and this was “a business decision.” “because the funds would “be better spent” on UK-produced programmes.

Or I could spend the money on other things, which is what I chose to do, Mr. Frow said. The money from Neighbours would be better spent on UK programming.

Over the weekend, images of Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue returning to Ramsay Street surfaced.
