Neighbours star Scott McGregor says "not all decisions are mine" when asked about staying on the soap

From Digital Spy

Neighbours star Scott McGregor has suggested that it wasn't his choice to leave the show.

The Mark Brennan actor is back in Erinsborough for a guest stint after making his most recent exit in October.

But when a fan – bringing up previous quotes from him saying that these scenes will be his last ever on the show – asked him on Twitter why he won't stay, Scott responded: "Wish it was that easy, mate. Not all decisions are mine."

Mark's exit last year saw him move to Adelaide to support his mother Fay, although Scott admitted afterwards that he wasn't a fan of how the character was written out.

The star returned for the 35th anniversary celebrations, during which Mark reunited with and married Paige Smith.

Mark has extended his stay in Erinsborough for the time being as he helps with the investigation into Finn Kelly's death.

Starting from next week, Neighbours and Home and Away will both be airing three times a week in the UK – Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

The announcement comes after Channel 5 originally cut the number of weekly episodes down to two late last month as a response to the uncertainty surrounding production.

Neighbours had planned to resume filming this week, but this has been put on hold for the time being.

Neighbours airs Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK).
