Neighbours star Rebekah Elmaloglou urges fans to rally for soap's future
Neighbours star Rebekah Elmaloglou has encouraged viewers to keep celebrating the soap as cast anxiously wait to hear its future on Amazon. The fan favourite, who plays Terese Willis, spoke out during the final date of the Neighbours 40th anniversary tour this week. Digital Spy was present for the last show of the tour, which took place at the Bridgewater Hall theatre in Manchester on Tuesday evening (February 18). During the celebratory event, cast took the time to warmly thank fans for their devoted efforts to save Neighbours with a petition and campaign after Channel 5 previously cancelled the show in 2022. Related: Rebekah then told the audience: "Keep doing what you're doing. Keep emailing Amazon and let them know how much you love the show. "They do all the contracts now, so go to the source! We still don't know what's happening with the show later this year." Digital Spy understands that this is the first time the cast openly addressed the soap's future on stage during the six-date tour, which saw Rebekah appear alongside co-stars Tim Kano (Leo Tanaka) and Majella Davis (Krista Sinclair). Former cast members Lucinda Cowden (Melanie Pearson), Kym Valentine (Libby Kennedy) and Dan Paris (Drew Kirk) were also part of the exciting live event. Related: Neighbours was unexpectedly saved by Amazon in late 2022, just four months after the star-studded Channel 5 finale had aired. It returned to our screens in September 2023 after a year's break. The show was commissioned on a two-year deal to boost Amazon's free streaming platform, Freevee. As the Freevee brand is now being phased out, Neighbours is available for free streaming on Prime Video and regularly sits at the top of the streamer's most-watched shows in the UK. In a separate chat with Digital Spy last week, Rebekah admitted: "We don't know [if the show is being renewed] – we haven't been told anything. Obviously we're all hoping – it'd be such a shame to bring back the show and then take it away again. Related: "It'd be disappointing for everyone. We really, honestly don't know, to be honest. [Executive producer] Jason [Herbison] tells me, I'm going: 'Jase, I want to buy a house, what can you tell me?' He's like: 'I can't tell you anything!' "Who knows? We hope so, but it's just one of those things where the bigger gods are trying to sort that one out." Tim Kano also told us: "We can't put the fans through it again! In all the meet and greets for the tour, they said how devastated they were when it finished. They were actually crying, devastated." Majella added: "I'd be more heartbroken for them, I think." Neighbours releases new episodes from Mondays to Thursdays for free on Amazon Freevee and Prime Video in the UK and US. In Australia, the show airs from Mondays to Thursdays at 4pm on Channel 10, with a 6.30pm repeat screening on 10 Peach Comedy.
