Hunky Scott McGregor will finish his role as Detective Mark Brennan on Neighbours.

McGregor began on air in August in a six month stint before graduating to a regular cast role in December.

But TV Tonight understands contractual negotiations have led to the role being written out.

A TEN spokesperson confirmed he will wrap on the show in April but remain on air until August.

  1. What a relief! I think he’s better off sticking to modeling and presenting for now – his acting needs improvement.

    Hopefully his departure will pave the way for Chris Milligan (Kyle) to finally become a regular, along with James Mason (Chris). They’ve got the looks and the talent, and would be great assets to the show.

  2. I don’t want him to leave either but could care less about him and Kate as a couple. He is way too hot stuff for her.

    Maybe he wanted more money in his contract to kiss her? 🙂

  3. The way things are going on Neighbours and I haven’t watched since they moved it to 11 They won’t have anyone left.I can’t speak on behalf of the older cast members but this may wind up being a grown up version of your Degrassi/Saved by the Bell type of shows from the Eighties reheated.

  4. He is great to look at, but not a great or even good actor. Perhaps he got a bit to big for his boots? It is a shame for Kate, they have really messed with her storylines. First replacing Declan and now ending a pairing that we all wanted to happen.

  5. So happy you used the word ‘hunky’!!! 🙂

    I’m glad that it’s a small cast. The writers could really do well with less characters. However, as a loyal fan, even I can’t see how the direction they’re going can pay off. The current storylines aren’t very exciting. The strange thing is, I do actually genuinely like and care for every character on the show. They need to start have stories that make me actually care to watch. No silly one ep storylines or ones that don’t eventuate to anything…

    Look at Kate’s love life!! Declan, now Mark… and he’s leaving now too!

  6. @ Craig,- yeah, he was from Temptation (which i wish would return, but that’s a different matter).

    I didn’t know that he became a regular – he’s not even in the opening titles (yet)

  7. I never really looked at him as a regular cast member anyway. I don’t even think he is in the opening titles (though I may have just not been paying attention).

  8. This is what will happen. The bad guys after the bloke on the motor bike. Whats his name the mechanic. Will get into a fight with this copper and kill him. If not it will be, once the writers sees this awesome bit of story line brain storming.

  9. That’s a shame, they should do what they can to try and keep him, they said themselves they have been bowled over by the reaction to him from viewers and fans… Sort it out neighbs

  10. Why the hell would you lose your most promotable, best looking male actor? The Exec Producer of this show keeps making shit decision after shit decision and she’s still there. How? It’s a joke, which is what she’s turned the show into.

  11. Neighbours has been better since being on ELEVEN and the injection of new blood (if only) through Mark and Jade has been good for the show, especially as they’re lookers…They need to replace him and the other characters that are leaving soon with some good looking good actors..quick sharp
