Sorry to see him go as I like Mark... hopefully it'll be only for a break and he will be back. There's a rumour going around that Gary Canning will be leaving too?
I’ve heard that too, but no one seems to have any evidence or sources.

I suppose he's done everything his character can, at least for the timebeing, and they have steered away from happy ending stories for him at least twice. Time to leave for a while.

They could have made him happy. His friendship with Toadie is great too.

Neighbours names surprise new love interest for Mark Brennan
It's not who you'd expect.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a28728907/neighbours-spoilers-mark-brennan-roxy-willis-romance/
Neighbours has revealed that Roxy Willis will be Mark Brennan's next love interest.
The pair embark on a steamy fling next week, giving Mark the chance to move on from his failed marriage with some no-strings fun.
Roxy (Zima Anderson) initially gets angry with Mark next week when she spots him celebrating his birthday at the Back Lane Bar.
Childish Roxy berates Mark for partying when he should be busy solving the case of Leo Tanaka's missing money, which has been stolen by a conwoman.
Roxy crosses the line by deliberately pouring a drink over the crotch of Mark's trousers as revenge. Despite this, by the end of the evening, they give into temptation back at Mark's place.
The full story of Mark and Roxy's hook-up will be shown in a series of flashbacks in the following episode.
Mark eventually asks Roxy for her discretion as he wants to keep their passionate encounter as a one-off, but it's not long before she manages to seduce him again. Could this become a longer-term relationship?
News of Mark's romance follows the recent announcement that he'll be bowing out of the show in a future storyline.
Scott McGregor's departure from the role was confirmed at the start of the month, with show bosses promising to keep the door open for a future 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."
Neighbours airs these scenes on Tuesday, August 27 and Wednesday, August 28 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
Roxy really? But she's vile.

I quite like this hookup ! Mark needs a bit of fun in his life. Sad he is leaving but after everything that he has gone through it makes sense for him to escape. The writers better bring in some new eye candy to replace our hunky boy in blue.

Neighbours' Mark Brennan and Roxy Willis secret to spread as they get caught out
Cuffed to the coffee table...
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a28964892/neighbours-mark-brennan-roxy-willis-caught-secret/
Neighbours' Mark Brennan and Roxy Willis will see their secret spread after another Erinsborough resident catches them out.
At the moment, only Harlow Robinson (Jemma Donovan) knows that Mark (Scott McGregor) and Roxy (Zima Anderson) are having a fling, although Mark doesn't know that. But by the end of next week, Ned Willis (Ben Hall) will also uncover the secret in rather embarrassing fashion.
In scenes airing next week, Roxy convinces Mark to use his police handcuffs as they get intimate.
Unfortunately for Mark, who ends up handcuffed to the coffee table, Roxy can't find the key to unlock the cuffs.
Roxy desperately looks around the house but to no avail, and she ends up asking Harlow for help. Harlow recommends that they use bolt cutters to free Mark. Ned has bolt cutters and agrees to let Roxy borrow them – although the request strikes him as unusual and he decides to follow Roxy and Harlow to see what they're up to.
Roxy and Harlow arrive with the bolt cutters to free Mark, but Mark is stunned to find out that Harlow knew about the secret fling. Then, Ned shows up and discovers Mark and Roxy's secret too.
While Roxy fears Mark will break things off, Mark is more worried about the fling being made public. Ned tells Mark that he won't say anything to anyone, although it is unclear if that will be the case... Will he be able to keep the secret?
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Neighbours' Mark Brennan gets dumped by Roxy Willis after cruel behaviour
Their fling turns nasty next week.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a29179092/neighbours-spoilers-mark-brennan-roxy-willis-split/
Neighbours policeman Mark Brennan gets dumped by Roxy Willis next week as their relationship turns toxic.
Mark (Scott McGregor) pushes Roxy too far by treating her badly as their casual fling continues – and even his own family are appalled by his behaviour.
Next week's episodes see Roxy (Zima Anderson) try to change her wild ways in the hope of building up a stronger connection to Mark.
Dismayed that Mark isn't taking their romance seriously, Roxy starts dressing more conservatively and tones down her outrageous behaviour on their dates.
Mark is surprised by the new sophisticated Roxy as they meet up for a wine-tasting event at The 82. Even though Roxy is trying her best, Mark grows irritated by the act that she's putting on.
After a few too many drinks, Mark lets his grumpy behaviour get the better of him, crossing the line by dishing out numerous small insults aimed at Roxy.
Chloe (April Rose Pengilly) disapproves of Mark's cruel behaviour as she watches on, but he later gets even worse by publicly telling Roxy to stop trying so hard as he could never be in a serious relationship with her.
The next day sees Mark receive a dressing-down from Chloe, who lets him know that he's firmly in the wrong.
Mark hopes to get back in Roxy's good books by giving her flowers, but after some wise advice from Sheila Canning and Harlow Robinson, she puts him in his place by ending their relationship.
Later, Mark tells Chloe that he feels lost and doesn't know what he wants anymore. However, he soon has even more to worry about when he receives a disturbing phone call from his brother Tyler – their mum Fay has gone missing.
Neighbours airs these scenes on Thursday, October 3 and Friday, October 4 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a29291075/neighbours-spoilers-mark-brennan-exit-storyline-begins/
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."

Neighbours confirms Mark Brennan's emotional exit storyline
His final scenes air next week.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a29378910/neighbours-spoilers-mark-brennan-exit-storyline/
Neighbours has confirmed that Mark Brennan's exit from the show will air next week.
The popular policeman will bow out from Ramsay Street and move to Adelaide, bringing his five-year return stint to an end.
Mark decides to move away to support his mum Fay (Zoe Bertram), whose health is deteriorating due to her Huntington's disease.
As Tyler and Piper can't cope with the responsibility of caring for Fay alone, it's clear that one of the family will have to move away to help out.
Much to everyone's surprise, Mark decides to volunteer himself – wanting a fresh start anyway after a difficult few months.
Although Mark wants a low-key departure, Aaron and David encourage him to have a proper goodbye with everyone on the street.
Mark isn't keen on sharing emotional farewells with the local residents, so he compromises by recording video messages for everyone who meant something to him on the street – pressing 'send' as he leaves.
When Mark's ex Elly Conway (Jodi Anasta) gets her message, she rushes off to find him at Lassiters Lake, where he is spending some time thinking about Sonya Rebecchi and Kate Ramsay.
Elly manages to find Mark just in time and they share a heartwarming moment before he leaves for good.
Neighbours bosses announced Scott McGregor's departure from the role of Mark in August, promising that the door would be left open for him to return.
Show 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."

Scott McGregor has admitted that he wasn't a big fan of his recent exit storyline from the soap.
The actor's character Mark Brennan departed from the show after moving to Adelaide to support his mother Fay.
However, it doesn't seem Scott was that keen on the way he left the show, responding to one fan who called it a "stupid storyline" and suggested that the exit "came out of nowhere".
"I tend to agree," he replied on Instagram. "Although I don't write the show... oh well. Thanks for the kind words."
The comment came on an Instagram post in which Scott said an emotional goodbye to fans of Neighbours.
"I have so much love for this place," he wrote. "I feel extremely fortunate and very honoured to have worked with not only the amazing actors I can now call lifelong friends, but all the incredibly talented departments that make this place what it is.
"Without them, this show just wouldn't exist."
He added: "Thanks to all the @neighbours fans out there for watching, and hopefully you enjoyed Mark Brennan and the Brennan family. I feel really proud of what we have put down.
"I can't wait for my next role, and until then, I'll be spending as much quality time with my beautiful family as I can."

Neighbours reveals Mark Brennan's return storyline as he gives Yashvi Rebecchi a warning
Could it be the end of Ned and Yashvi?
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a30832925/neighbours-spoilers-mark-brennan-return-storyline/
Neighbours has revealed that Mark Brennan's return storyline will air next week.
Scott McGregor has reprised his role as Mark for a guest stint to help celebrate the show's upcoming 35th anniversary.
New spoilers have now confirmed that Mark's comeback will be tied in with the ongoing Zenin storyline.
Next week's episodes see Ned Willis (Ben Hall) get caught up in a dangerous situation as the police try to shut down Zenin's gun ring.
As seen in our dramatic pictures, Ned finds himself in the middle of a final showdown between Zenin and the police – leaving him terrified when his nemesis uses him as a hostage while armed with a gun.
While viewers will have to tune in to see exactly how the showdown plays out, the scenes lead to the return of Mark following his four-month absence.
Mark announces that he has been promoted to the position of detective in Adelaide, but has been temporarily transferred back to Erinsborough to help round up the gun ring.
Although Yashvi Rebecchi (Olivia Junkeer) is upset with Ned for his part in the Zenin saga, she desperately tries to make sure that her boyfriend isn't charged.
Mark takes a no-nonsense approach with Yashvi, telling her that Ned isn't a good boyfriend to have if she wants to be a police officer. Could this mark the end of Ned and Yashvi's relationship?
Plus, how will Mark's family – and old flame Roxy – feel about seeing him back on Ramsay Street?
Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, February 17, Tuesday, February 18 and Wednesday, February 19 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Mark sees double.
https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebrity/tv/neighbours-mark-exes-brides-62716
The Lassiters wedding expo has Erinsborough in a frenzy.
Everyone is keen to help out, but in the whirlwind of preparations, a mix-up by Roxy lands her in terrible trouble with Toadie – while Mark is experiencing déj* vu with not one, but two former brides!
In Neighbours this week, hotel manager Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou) is stressed as the expo looms. Hoping to drum up more interest and increase ticket sales for the event, she decides to dress up women as brides and get them to hand out flyers.
Paige (Olympia Valance) is the first to volunteer to help, but little does she or Terese know that Chloe (April Rose Pengilly) has also recruited a helper: Elly (Jodi Anasta).
Of course, both women used to be married to Mark (Scott McGregor), so when the detective spots his exes from across the square, he can't believe his eyes!
Meanwhile, Toadie (Ryan Moloney) is struggling with the first anniversary of Sonya's (Eve Morey) death. He considers donating his late wife's wedding dress to the expo, but when he arrives at the Community Centre, he finds he can't go through with it.
Waitress Roxy (Zima Anderson) has also turned up to help hand out flyers, but accidentally takes and puts on Sonya's dress by mistake.
When Toadie spots her in the special gown, he's upset – and loses it at the innocent volunteer. Yikes!

Neighbours drama for Mark Brennan after a showdown with Sheila Canning
Chloe's actions come back to haunt Mark.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a32044832/neighbours-spoilers-mark-brennan-sheila-canning/
Neighbours fans will see grief-stricken Sheila Canning get a new target next week – and it's bad news for Mark Brennan.
Sheila (Colette Mann) is currently on the warpath as she looks for someone to blame for the murder of her beloved son Gary.
In next week's episodes, Sheila struggles to cope as she fears that Erinsborough is forgetting about Gary too quickly.
With the funeral and wake now out of the way, upset Sheila feels that the rest of the world is moving on and she's the only one still grieving for Gary.
Sheila then becomes fixated on the idea of making sure that Gary is remembered, having seen how much effort was made to pay tribute to Sonya Rebecchi after her tragic death last year.
Pierce Greyson (Tim Robards) and his wife Chloe (April Rose Pengilly) are taken aback when Sheila suggests that a memorial statue should be put up in the Lassiters complex as a permanent tribute to Gary.
Chloe chases after Sheila for a heart-to-heart, but Sheila then overhears her talking to Bea Nilsson (Bonnie Anderson) about Finn Kelly's video diaries.
Sheila is stunned to hear that Bea and her sister Elly Conway have both watched the footage, so she marches straight over to the police station and demands to see the videos too.
Mark (Scott McGregor) and Sky (Stephanie McIntosh) are both alarmed to hear that Chloe stole the confidential videos and gave them to Elly and Bea.
Although Mark wasn't aware of Chloe's antics, he is forced to come clean about how he'd given the transcripts to David Tanaka to make him feel better. Has Mark made a mistake that could cost him his career?
Neighbours airs these scenes on Friday, April 17 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Monday, April 6 at 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Neighbours star Scott McGregor hints it's not his choice to leave the show
"Not all decisions are mine."
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a32188738/neighbours-scott-mcgregor-not-choice-leave/
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).
