Neighbours: Guy Pearce breaks his silence on whether he’ll return
Guy Pearce breaks his silence on whether he will return to Neighbors after Amazon saved the soap from cancellation
Amazon has saved Neighbors from the brink of cancellation, but the show’s beloved star Guy Pearce may not return to Ramsay Street.
The 55-year-old actor told the daily telegraph on Thursday it was “hard to say” if he would ever return to the soap despite his retaliation from Mike Young in the “farewell episode” of Ten.
“I’m very happy for everyone that he’s back, but at the same time, it’s a bit strange, isn’t it?” said Pearce.

‘When you prepare to finish something and then it comes back alive. We have to figure out what that means for everyone, I guess.
Asked by the publication if another ending would be needed to bring him back to Ramsay Street, he said: ‘I don’t know. It’s too hard to say. It’s all too hypothetical right now.
It comes just one day after Pearce took a brazen jab at the soap opera that Amazon picked up several months after the producers announced the show had been axed.

The Amsterdam-based star admitted at the AACTA Awards in Sydney on Wednesday that he found it amusing as he flew to Australia to appear in what was supposed to be the ‘grand finale’.
‘It’s hard to see, isn’t it? Knowing that we will never see another episode again? A painful reminder that the things we love can be taken away, never to return,” Pearce said.
“Unless Amazon comes in to save the day and makes our finish look like a pretty expensive exercise,” he added.

The British-born actor joked with series veteran Margot Robbie that she will be delighted to get her 37 bottles of champagne back, after sending the expensive gift to the producers as a going-away gift.
‘I don’t mean waste of time. But still, I’m sure Margot will be happy,’ she joked.
Pearce originally appeared on the long-running series from 1986 to 1989 as Mike Young, Scott’s best friend, played by Jason Donovan.
The actor returned to Ramsay Street for the last time in July after producers convinced him to return.
However, it was announced last month that Neighbors had been saved just four months after its last episode aired in July.
