Neighbours has announced that Byron Stone will be recast ahead of the reboot on Amazon Freevee, with Xavier Molyneux stepping into the role.

The former Big Brother Australia contestant had been spotted on the set of the soap earlier this year, with the star being pictured alongside The OC?s Mischa Barton.

It has now been revealed that Molyneux will play Byron on the Australian soap. The character had previously been played by Joe Klocek in the final weeks of the soap's run on Channel 5, and left a few days before the finale.

The official social media channels for the soap confirmed the news of the recasting earlier today (July 15), with Molyneux pictured alongside Annie Jones, who plays his on-screen mother Jane Harris.

"We're very excited to announce that Xavier Molyneux will be taking on the role of Byron Stone," read the caption on the tweet. "The son of Jane Harris, Byron will be thrust into the heart of the Ramsay Street drama when Neighbours returns this September."

Ahead of the reboot's premiere in September, Olympia Valance recently offered her thoughts on the revival, saying Neighbours is a "great show for all ages" and a vital learning ground for aspiring actors.

"I think it's really great that it's been picked up again," said the actress, who played Paige Smith on the soap. "It's such a great show for all ages. But it's also such a great training ground for young Australian actors that are starting out."

"It was such a great opportunity for me and so many other Aussie actors starting out in the industry. I'm happy that it gets to continue for more people too," she added.

Neighbours returns in the second half of 2023 with new episodes streaming free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. Network 10 will retain first-run rights in Australia for the new series.

ormer Neighbours star Joe Klocek responds to Byron Stone recast news
Xavier Molyneux has taken over the role.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a44599179/neighbours-joe-klocek-responds-byron-stone-recast/

Former Neighbours star Joe Klocek has responded to the news that his character Byron Stone has been recast for Amazon Freevee's upcoming revival.

It was announced last week that Xavier Molyneux would be taking over the role from Klocek, who played the character in the final weeks of the soap's Channel 5 run last year, and left a few days before the finale.

When a fan commented on one of Klocek's Instagram posts asking why he wouldn't be returning to Ramsay Street, the actor replied: "Work and life has taken me elsewhere but Byron Stone is in good hands!"

Klocek's Instagram page reveals that he's been busy travelling around Europe in recent months, so it was likely his own decision not to return.

The soap's official Twitter page confirmed the Klocek-approved recasting on July 15 with a photo of Molyneux alongside his on-screen mum, Annie Jones.

"We're very excited to announce that Xavier Molyneux will be taking on the role of Byron Stone," read the caption. "The son of Jane Harris, Byron will be thrust into the heart of the Ramsay Street drama when Neighbours returns this September."

Earlier this year, Molyneux was pictured on the Neighbours set alongside The OC star Mischa Barton, though there was no confirmation on which character he'd be playing at that point.

Barton will be playing the guest role of Reece, an American who's new to Erinsborough and not quite who she appears to be.

"I think the character of Reece is going to be a great role for me to explore and play with," the actress said after her role was announced in April.

Neighbours returns in the second half of 2023 with new episodes streaming free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. Network 10 will retain first-run rights in Australia for the new series.

Neighbours star Xavier Molyneux reveals secret over Byron Stone recasting
"It was a big moment."

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a44974568/neighbours-xavier-molyneux-byron-stone-recasting-secret/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours newcomer Xavier Molyneux has revealed that he was originally in line to play Byron Stone last year.

Show bosses recently announced that Xavier is taking over the role of Jane Harris's son in the new season, which launches later this month.

Joe Klocek previously played Byron for a few weeks last year, with the character bowing out just before the finale. However, things could have been very different at the time.

Speaking to Digital Spy and other press, Xavier explained: "I cried when I got the part. Just because, obviously, it was huge when I was growing up. I loved the show.

"I was supposed to be travelling all this year and I got a call from my agent, whilst I was in Canada.

"My agent called and said: 'If you get on the next flight, you can get in front of Thea McLeod, who's casting Neighbours for Byron Stone' ? who I tried out for last year, and I came second to Joe Klocek! So it was a big moment."

"It was just one of those moments where you go, 'Maybe somebody's looking after me, after all,'" he added.

The new-look Byron features prominently in the recently released trailer for the new season, which showcases a passionate relationship between him and newcomer Reece, played by The OC star Mischa Barton.

Xavier continued: "It was great to work with Mischa. We both came into this trying to find our feet and find our characters. So a lot of the time we were leaning on each other to get through the days, because we did have a lot of two-handers where it was just us.

"For a green actor like myself, it was quite intimidating at the start, but we got through it and she was more than helpful to me."

"Storyline-wise, Byron is working at the hotel and comes across Reece. She's staying there at the hotel and they have a bit of a spark," he said. "They have their own little romance, which they try to keep to themselves and try to keep it away from the Ramsay Street chaos.

"But unfortunately, it all gets sucked in together and they have to navigate that in some way, somehow, without stepping on toes. Paul Robinson obviously has a part to play, as he always does in everybody's story! They come up against the great Paul Robinson. Do we win? We don't know!"

Neighbours reveals Byron and Mackenzie twist after Reece's exit
Is there a chemistry between them?

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours fans will see Byron Stone bond with Mackenzie Hargreaves next month following the departure of Reece Sinclair.

New spoiler pictures preview a seemingly-intimate moment between the housemates as Byron struggles without his American girlfriend.

Last week's episodes saw Reece rush home to the US following news that her father Conrad had been admitted to hospital after suffering a stroke.

Although Byron offered to join Reece when she made the trip, she asked him to stay behind in Erinsborough and there was a sense that it could be the last time they'd see each other.

Neighbours' newest pictures show Byron and Mackenzie sharing a cosy moment outside in scenes due to air in December.

Others show them in the same bedroom as they continue to grow closer, but have they spent the night together or is there something else going on?

The upcoming scenes follow Mackenzie's potential love interest Haz Devkar starting a fling with Holly Hoyland in recent episodes.

Although Mackenzie has insisted that she isn't ready for a relationship, she has mixed feelings about missing her chance with Haz.

Meanwhile, last week's departure scenes for Reece marked the end of Mischa Barton's guest stint in the role.

Neighbours posted on Twitter last week: "Is this the end of #Breece? Thanks once again to Mischa Barton for an incredible guest stint, do you think it's the last we'll see of Reece Sinclair?"

The show airs the Byron and Mackenzie scenes on Monday, December 11 and Tuesday, December 12.

Neighbours releases new episodes from Mondays to Thursdays for free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. In Australia, the show airs from Mondays to Thursdays at 4pm on Channel 10, with a 6.30pm repeat screening on 10 Peach.

Neighbours' Byron Stone to be left devastated by news from Reece Sinclair
It's all over.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a46020306/neighbours-spoilers-byron-reece-news/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours has confirmed a sad split storyline for Byron Stone and Reece Sinclair.

Byron's hopes for the future are crushed next week when Reece gets in touch to end their long-distance relationship.

Last month, Reece rushed back to the US following news that her father Conrad had suffered a stroke. Conrad died a short time afterwards, leaving Reece with the responsibility of overseeing his businesses.

The storyline was written in as The OC star Mischa Barton bowed out from Neighbours following a two-month guest stint as Reece.

Byron optimistically believes that his romance with Reece still has a future, but there have already been tell-tale signs that she's going cold on him.

Next week, Byron books his trip to the US to catch up with Reece. His housemate Mackenzie Hargreaves becomes worried, sensing that Reece is no longer interested.

Mackenzie isn't sure whether to voice her fears, but she feels compelled to speak up when Byron vows to stay in the States on a long-term basis.

Byron is hurt when Mackenzie questions whether Reece is on the same page. However, he soon realises that Mackenzie was right when Reece sends him a star chain necklace in the post.

The trinket is a break-up present from Reece, who no longer sees any future for them.

Heartbroken Byron turns to Mackenzie for comfort and they enjoy a boozy night out.

This leads to a heated moment between the two friends, but will they hook up?

Neighbours' Byron Stone to be tempted by escorting return
Nicolette is worried.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a46128073/neighbours-spoilers-byron-stone-escorting-return/

Neighbours' Byron Stone considers returning to his past job as a male escort next week.

Byron is tempted when he unexpectedly receives contact from a former client in the run-up to Christmas.

When Byron was introduced to Neighbours in 2022 (then played by Joe Klocek), he was working as an escort and initially kept this a secret from his mum Jane Harris.

Jane was outraged when she discovered the truth and struggled to accept that her son was a sex worker.

Byron left the Street shortly before the 2022 finale episode. Although he was on good terms with Jane again, he felt they needed some space from each other following their tensions.

When Neighbours returned to screens in September this year, Byron had given up on his escorting career and was working as a concierge at Lassiters. However, he has since quit his job at the hotel following dramas with Paul Robinson.

Next week, Byron tries his best to support his friends Holly Hoyland, Mackenzie Hargreaves and Haz Devkar as their messy love triangle rumbles on.

He's also still struggling with his own broken heart after being dumped by Reece Sinclair, who left Erinsborough to return to the US.

Amid this difficult time in his personal life, Byron is surprised when a former client called Tamara gets in touch with a lucrative opportunity to return to escorting.

Byron agrees to meeting with Tamara and confirms that he's willing to join her for a luxury holiday in Tahiti.

Nicolette Stone sees Byron with Tamara and worries that her brother is considering returning to escorting. She immediately intervenes by urging Tamara to retract the offer.

Byron is furious with Nicolette, but she insists that she has done the best thing for him in the long run. Will Byron back down or pursue his old career in another way?

Neighbours releases these episodes on Wednesday, December 20 and Thursday, December 21 at 7am on Amazon Freevee.

Neighbours' Byron Stone to feel betrayed in sex storyline
He feels used by Sadie.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a46992023/neighbours-spoilers-byron-sadie-sex-story/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours' Byron Stone feels used for sex next week after spending the night with Sadie Rodwell.

Byron isn't pleased when he discovers that Sadie considered him when she wanted an easy way to lose her virginity.

Sadie recently confided in her friends about how she wanted to sleep with someone for the first time. Holly Hoyland soon suggested Byron as the ideal candidate, pointing out that he's trustworthy and very experienced. Sadie mulled over the possibility, but ultimately decided not to speak to Byron about it.

Next week, Sadie grows closer to Byron in a more natural way when she attends a party organised by the share house residents. The group play a game of truth or dare together and Sadie challenges Byron to show the last five pictures on his phone.

One of Byron's pictures is a shirtless shot and Sadie is visibly flustered. Before long, the pair are unable to fight their genuine attraction and they move in for a kiss, which leads to more.

The next morning, Sadie is pleased after sleeping with Byron but she presumes that he won't want to take it any further.

Playing it cool, Sadie makes out to Byron that she isn't interested in him and they agree to just stay friends. Secretly, both would like to explore their relationship further but they struggle to explain how they feel.

Later, Byron is shocked when he finds out that Sadie previously wanted to choose him for her first time because of his history as a sex worker.

Unaware that Sadie had abandoned this idea and their night together was based on a genuine connection, Byron reaches the conclusion that she was using him and he's furious. Will he confront her over what happened between them?

This is going to be funny!

I love the character of BYRON. Im glad he is back in the spotlight. After REESE departed he really wasnt given much in the way of SLs.

Id still prefer to see him with an older woman but unfortunately the cast is so small and we are going to get BADIE.

I just think SADIE is too young for him. Anyone like this pairing???

Neighbours' Byron Stone to be quizzed over his escort past
Felix demands details during a Ramsay Street party.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a60223136/neighbours-spoilers-byron-stone-quizzed-past/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours' Byron Stone faces an awkward encounter with newcomer Felix Rodwell next week.

Byron feels uncomfortable when Felix wants all the details of his past work as a male escort.

In upcoming scenes, Byron is among the guests as the Rodwells throw a "welcome to Ramsay Street" party for Felix.

Felix recently moved to the Street after being released from prison on parole. His brother Andrew has agreed to keep a close watch on him as he works to get his life back on track, although there are already signs that he's straying back into his old ways.

On the day of the party, Andrew and Wendy's daughter Sadie decides to keep quiet about how she has organised a date with Byron.

Sadie doesn't want her parents to know about her romantic connection with Byron at this early stage, so she keeps it to herself.

The party takes a surprising turn when Byron's sister Nicolette makes a cheeky reference to his past career.

Felix is intrigued and demands all the details, with Andrew becoming a third party to this uncomfortable conversation.

Could this x-rated chit-chat come back to haunt Byron when Andrew and Wendy inevitably find out that he's dating Sadie?

Neighbours previously referenced Byron's past earlier this month when Sadie briefly considered asking to spend the night with him because of his experience.

Sadie ultimately decided against it, but when she ended up sleeping with Byron anyway after a party at the share house, he got the wrong idea and accused her of using him.

The pair later resolved their differences and will start getting to know each other as more than just friends in upcoming scenes.

Neighbours' Byron and Sadie hit relationship milestone after baby mix-up
Are they back on track?

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Byron Stone and Sadie Rodwell are set to mark a relationship milestone in upcoming Neighbours scenes.

Airing on Friday, May 31, and Monday, June 3, Victor Stone is still on a high after reconnecting with son Byron and daughter Nicolette, and he manages to draw an admission from the former regarding his and Sadie's situation.

Putting his foot in it, though, Victor tells Sadie's mum Wendy all about Byron's visions of marriage and babies.

Later on, Byron confronts his father after discovering what's been said. Despite Victor trying to justify his actions, his furious son warns him against any more meddling.

To make matters worse, Byron becomes concerned that Sadie is acting distant, and so explains to her that he's never actually talked about marriage in a serious way and Victor was blowing everything out of proportion.

Sadie then admits that the whole thing left her rattled, but she cares too much about him for this to come between them.

Byron breathes a huge sigh of relief.

Getting their romance back on track, the pair reflect on this minor crisis by suggesting it's taught them that they truly don't want to be without one another.

Tentatively, Byron and Sadie exchange their very first 'I love you'.

Neighbours' Byron Stone to be caught betraying Leo Tanaka
Will Krista expose his actions?

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a61529989/neighbours-spoilers-byron-leo-betrayal/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours' Byron Stone makes a sneaky move next week when he fears losing out on his chance to own the vineyard.

Byron takes drastic action when Leo Tanaka considers seeking investment from elsewhere, which would leave the Stone family out in the cold.

This week's episodes see Byron, his sister Nicolette and returning character Kiri Durant team up as a trio to become Leo's new business partners.

As it's unclear whether former couple Nicolette and Kiri will be able to work effectively together, Leo suggests a trial run to see how they get along.

Next week's episodes see Leo's worst fears start to become a reality as there's an awkward atmosphere between Nicolette and Kiri at work.

Nicolette and Kiri are struggling to move forward, despite a recent honest conversation over why their relationship ended. Nicolette also feels jealous when she finds Kiri bonding with some of the newer neighbours, including Remi and Cara Varga-Murphy.

Kiri eventually tells Leo that she thinks it'll prove too complicated to work alongside Nicolette on a permanent basis.

Leo admits that this isn't necessarily bad news, as he has been talking to a wealthy venture capitalist who may be about to invest. He admits that this would be a much simpler solution than working alongside Kiri, Nicolette and Byron.

This news quickly spreads to Nicolette and Byron, who are disappointed to learn that their involvement may no longer be needed.

Later, Byron is alone at the vineyard when the potential investor calls. Byron thinks quickly and decides to sabotage the deal, lying that Leo isn't interested anymore.

Byron immediately worries about whether he did the wrong thing, but there's not much time to reflect as he realises that Leo's partner Krista Sinclair has overheard the conversation.

Krista is outraged by her housemate's antics, but will she tell Leo what he did?

"Neighbours star Xavier Molyneux teases ?raunchy? upcoming episodes and film debut
Xavier Molyneux has teased an upcoming ?raunchy? storyline for his character on the classic Australian series, as he also makes his big-screen debut.


Neighbours star Xavier Molyneux has teased an upcoming ?raunchy? storyline and X-rated scenes for his character on the classic Australian series, as he also makes his big-screen debut.

Former Big Brother contestant Molyneux, 26 ? who joined the Ramsay Street cast for the soap in 2023, stars as Byron Stone, the son of iconic character Jane Harris and love interest of The O.C. star Mischa Barton.

The breakout actor from Sydney?s eastern suburbs said fans of the show can expect to see his character get hot and heavy in upcoming episodes, which have recently been filmed.

?There?s a bit of a raunchy storyline,? he told Confidential.

?I?m excited to see that one going to air.

?There was a lot of effort put in behind it. They brought in people who specialise in that type of performance.?

The former paramedic said a career in acting always felt like a fantasy, something he still can?t believe he now has the opportunity to do full ? time.

?It?s very exciting and very daunting,? he said.

?There?s a lot of impostor syndrome going on.

?Being an actor was always a pipe dream, something not attainable for sure.?

Despite being a regular feature on the award-winning series ? which has run for over three decades, Molyneux said he still has a ?lot of learning to do.?

?I?m at a great place (to learn) which is Neighbours,? he said.

?I?ve got to work with actors now I really look up to.

?It is stressful (working alongside these actors) but you?re also honoured to be there standing on the shoulders of giants like Ryan Maloney.?

Molyneux made his film debut last month, starring as young Michael in Take My Hand, a movie based on a true story about the love life of writer and director John Raftopoulos and wife Claire Jensz.

?It?s such a great story and based on a true story,? he said.

?It?s an Australian made romantic drama based on a beautiful couple, like nobody has ever seen before.

?There are some beautiful locations (featured) and I think Australia is really going to like it.

It?s a movie for the whole family. There are not many movies like that these days.? "

Neighbours' Byron Stone to face impossible choice in garage fire
Sadie or Nicolette?

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours airs a shocking moment for Byron Stone next week as he faces an impossible choice between his girlfriend Sadie Rodwell and sister Nicolette.

The nail-biting scenes air as a fire rages through the local garage, leaving multiple lives hanging in the balance.

Neighbours unleashes the life-or-death drama as part of the show's 40th anniversary episodes, which bring several ongoing storylines to a head.

The blaze ties in with the ongoing danger facing Max Ramsay after he made an enemy of ruthless gangster Carter Haddon.

Max meets Roxy Willis at the garage as they plan his next move together, but they're interrupted by Sadie, Byron and Nicolette.

The group enjoy an emotional reunion, but it takes a terrible turn when Carter's secret accomplice Lachie spots them and throws a Molotov cocktail into the garage.

Lachie's attack sets the building on fire and traps everyone inside.

While Roxy, Max and Byron manage to successfully find an escape route, things aren't looking so good for Sadie and Nicolette as they're surrounded by flames.

Roxy and Max take control by calling for help outside, but Byron spots that Sadie and Nicolette need urgent rescue as they've collapsed.

Battling through the flames, Byron makes the impulsive decision to save Nicolette first ? much to the horror of Sadie as she's left abandoned.

Before Byron gets his chance to go back for Sadie, a piece of the burning building falls on top of her.

Byron's route to Sadie is blocked and she experiences nasty burns to her back.

Once the emergency services arrive, they manage to take control of the situation and rush Sadie to hospital to get the help she needs.

Sadie's mum Wendy returns to town to support her, as Candice Leask returns to the role following an extended break.

Byron is also keen to be by Sadie's side, but she simply can't forgive him for not choosing her when she needed him the most.

As Sadie coldly tells Byron to leave, there's a real danger that their relationship may never be the same?

Neighbours airs another sad setback for Byron Stone next week as he struggles to save his relationship with Sadie Rodwell.

Byron is left disappointed when some early signs of progress with Sadie only lead to further disappointment.

Last week, Neighbours' 40th anniversary episodes saw Sadie reject Byron after suffering nasty burns in the fire at the garage.

Sadie was devastated that Byron had chosen to save his sister Nicolette first when they were both in danger.

While Nicolette was pulled to safety, Sadie was abandoned and a burning beam fell on her before Byron could return for her.

Next week, Sadie's caring mum Wendy steps in to play peacemaker for her daughter's relationship.

Wendy suggests that Sadie should take part in a 'reframing' exercise to help process her recent trauma.

Sadie agrees and invites Byron, Holly Hoyland and Max Ramsay to join her for the cathartic therapy.

The trio all visualise the recent fire, but this time with an alternate outcome where Sadie emerged completely unscathed.

Sadie finds that Wendy's idea gives her the closure that she needs, as well as bringing her closer to Byron for the first time in a few days.

Byron is relieved that his relationship seems to be on the mend, but he soon realises that he's getting carried away far too quickly.

When Byron offers to help Sadie change her bandages, she firmly rejects the idea. Is there still a long way to go before they stand any chance of saving their relationship?

Xavier Molyneux, who plays Byron, recently told Digital Spy: "Byron feels terrible for Sadie. He feels he could have done more.

"It will challenge everything about their relationship. Something horrible has happened and it has brought to light some terrible things and there isn't a real road map for the two on how to navigate everything."

Asked whether Byron will give Sadie some space, Xavier replied: "Byron feels giving space is the last thing he wants to do. He sees Sadie needs help and wants to be the person of support. It's just in his nature."

Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, March 31.
