Neighbours is bringing back several characters for Sonya Rebecchi's memorial, but one person missing will be Steph Scully.
The memorial airs today in the UK (March 11), and although Carla Bonner's hugely popular character won't be in Erinsborough for the service, it wasn't for a lack of trying from bosses.
Neighbours story editor Shane Isheev revealed that they approached Bonner but sadly scheduling didn't work out.
"The actress was asked to return, but unfortunately she wasn't available," he said on Twitter. "We missed Steph too!"
Although Steph isn't returning, fans will see Lucas Fitzgerald (Scott Major), Vanessa Villante (Alin Sumarwata), Angie Rebecchi (Lesley Baker) and Willow Somers (Mieke Billing-Smith) back for the sombre occasion.
Sonya's son Callum (Morgan Baker) and sister Jade (Gemma Pranita), who've recently returned to screens, are also in attendance.
Eve Morey's final scenes as Sonya aired last week, as she passed away on a family holiday with Toadie and the kids just weeks after being diagnosed with stage four cancer.
In a recent interview with Digital Spy, Morey revealed that it was not her choice to leave, although she stressed that there were no hard feelings at all.
"It was a decision made by the production," she explained. "From what I understand, at the end of 2017, the show was at a point of, 'Is it going to go ahead, or is it not?'
"In the end it did, but there were going to have to be big changes and every department suffered that. When it comes to the cast, I was one of them."
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
no mention or a skype call filmed would have done
Wonder if any other actors were let go for the same reason?
