Neighbours offers the first hints of Mark Brennan's exit storyline next week, as he considers moving away from Erinsborough for the sake of his family.
Scott McGregor, who plays Mark, has left the show but firm details on his final storyline had been kept under wraps until now.
Next week's episodes see the Brennans' mother Fay (Zoe Bertram) return to Ramsay Street – much to the relief of her loved ones, who feared she was missing.
Mark, Chloe (April Rose Pengilly) and Aaron (Matt Wilson) are all pleased to see their mum, but their relief turns to worry when they realise that she's extremely unwell.
Aaron's husband David Tanaka (Takaya Honda) is called to check on Fay and he reveals that her Huntington's has progressed significantly.
As Fay is deteriorating quickly, she will now need 24-hour supervision – but it's obvious that Tyler and Piper won't be able to take on the full responsibility of being carers.
The Brennans sit down for a serious chat over who should move to Adelaide, with Chloe becoming first to volunteer.
Chloe's boyfriend Pierce Greyson (Tim Robards) privately insists to Mark that this isn't a good idea, as she'll be getting a glimpse of her own future.
As they all head off to Adelaide to talk things through further, Mark considers leaving Erinsborough forever.
When Neighbours bosses announced Mark's exit earlier this year, they confirmed that the door would be left open for a possible return.
Neighbours' executive producer Jason Herbison commented: "Mark Brennan has been the anchor of so many pivotal stories on Neighbours over the years, from Erinsborough's super cop to serial heartbroken romantic.
"We've thrown the drama handbook at the character and Scott has risen to the occasion every time, testament to his exceptional talent and versatility. We wish him all the best and as continually demonstrated with our storytelling, the door is never closed on Ramsay Street."
