Neighbours star Tim Kano has been revealed as the latest cast member who's bowing out from the show.
The actor is now looking ahead to new projects after playing the role of Leo for the past three years.
Viewers became suspicious over a possible exit for Leo two weeks ago, when pictures online showing a cast gathering were rumbled as a potential leaving party.

A post on the website for Tim's management later confirmed: "This year sees Tim finish up at Ramsay Street and take on Hollywood."
Leo joined the cast of Neighbours in 2016 alongside his on-screen brother David, played by Takaya Honda.
The siblings' arrival was initially shrouded in mystery, but they were later revealed as long-lost sons of Paul Robinson.
Leo's major storylines have included his relationships with Mishti Sharma (Scarlet Vas) and Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou).
His dodgy past also regularly came back to haunt him, including at the beginning of the year when the dangerous Renshaw family came looking for revenge and sparked a shock siege in the Lassiters complex.
When approached over Tim's departure, a Neighbours spokesperson told Digital Spy: "We do not comment on any cast exits."
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
