'Neighbours' Declan Napier to be recast

**Perdita** · 30-01-2010, 18:00

The character of Declan Napier in Neighbours has been recast.

James Sorensen, who currently plays Declan in the soap, has decided to leave the show to pursue a career outside of television.

A spokesperson for Five has now revealed that Erin Mullally, 20, will step into the role when Sorensen leaves.

She added: "As the character of Declan is extremely popular, and with some sensational storylines planned, it was decided that the character would be recast."

Mullally will first appear as Declan on UK screens this summer.

Will get some getting used to in the beginning, I guess

Hmm yeah true. But would rather he left than got changed

. It rarely works when they change actors. Does occasionaly, but hmm we shall see..

I think it only works to recast a character if the character is just a child and then changed with a teen i.e Lucy Robinson. but at this stage in the characters role it would be better for him to leave with india
