The Block producer breaks his silence on ‘very dramatic moment’ set to rock new season
A senior member of Channel Nine’s long-running series The Block has broken her silence on a major rumour surrounding the new season, which is set to premiere on Monday.
Series co-creator and producer Julian Cress confirmed that the series will take a dramatic turn when one of the five teams leaves the show midway through the series.
“We didn’t make it through the entire series with all five teams. We had to replace one along the way, which was a very dramatic moment,” Cress said TV Tonight.
It was previously announced that Blue Team lovebirds Jesse and Paige abruptly left the series in the middle of filming. Cress added that they had an important reason for this.
“It was a very difficult decision for them to make, but there was a very strong reason why they decided to do it. Very, very dramatic, will unfold over the next few weeks.”
Cress added that audiences will be shocked when they see the drama on screen that led to the Blue Team leaving the show and leaving their construction site.

“I’m not saying these people left because they were lazy. They wanted to do it, but it just became incredibly challenging at some point. Their reasons for leaving are remarkable. I think it will start an interesting conversation among the audience.”
Fortunately, the producers were able to recruit sisters Maddy and Charlotte at short notice to replace the Blue Team, meaning that five couples will make it to the final.
