Neighbours is heading into its 35th year, but it looks like there are some characters whose time is running out.
Australia's Channel 10 head of programming Daniel Monaghan offered teases about numerous shows on the channel for the year ahead, and for the long-running soap, he confirmed that there will be a "couple of deaths as per the soap genre".
"It's just started picking up year on year, which is nice, and the summer audience has returned," he told TVTonight.
"We're working closely, of course, with our new friends at Channel 5. There are a number of big storylines coming up, with a couple of deaths as per the soap genre."
He didn't say when the deaths would happen, although the 35th anniversary event is happening in March.
Executive producer Jason Herbison previously said that there will be two main stories taking place for the occasion – "one is warm and nostalgic, the other is high drama".
Meanwhile, Jodi Anasta recently confirmed that she is leaving the role of Elly Conway.
The star, who joined in July 2016, said that she will be moving back to Sydney but did say that she has a "brilliant exit storyline which I'll be filming over the coming months".
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
