Neighbours’ Bonnie Anderson wants Bea’s dad to be introduced
"It would be cool to explore that," says the star
https://www.radiotimes.com/news/soap...erson-bea-dad/
Bea Nilsson (Bonnie Anderson) will soon be left with one less relative on Ramsay Street when big sister Elly Conway (Jodi Anasta) leaves Neighbours in what is promised to be a dramatic exit storyline.
Though the musical mechanic still has Auntie Susan and Uncle Karl Kennedy, there’s one relative we’re yet to meet that the actress is keen to introduce so we can explore her character’s backstory – Bea’s long-lost father.
“We have never met her dad,” Anderson told RadioTimes.com in an exclusive interview. “He is out there somewhere – he’s this Swedish guy, I believe his name is Lars. I’m not sure if I look Swedish but there you go!”
Fans know the mysterious Lars had a tumultuous relationship with Bea’s flighty mum Liz that ended far from amicably. Liz then turned on her offspring as she was a painful reminder of her ex, causing damage to the mother/daughter dynamic that is still healing many years later.
Bringing daddy dearest into the already-fractured family has the potential to bring shedloads of drama for troubled Bea, who’s feud with her mum was so bad she ended up leaving home in her teens and living on the streets.
What really went on between Liz and Lars? Anderson – and no doubt many viewers – would love to know…
“It would be cool to explore that part of her past, I’d love it,” continues Anderson, who has been in Neighbours since 2018. “Although there are no plans yet. Hopefully Liz will return at some point, she comes in and out and I love working with Debra Lawrance who plays her. Liz always mucks things up for the family!
“There is still lots more for Bea to do after Elly leaves, though that will be very sad – for Bea and for Bonnie, as Jodi is like a real-life sister to me.”
Elly is currently under suspicion of murdering evil ex Finn Kelly, who Bea also had a rocky romance with. Despite the betrayal and Finn’s manipulations, the sisters have put the past behind them, but the dramatic plot has paved the way for Elly’s departure which airs in the coming months – and is a closely-guarded secret.
“Elly’s exit is very emotional,” teases Anderson. “The reason why she leaves is because its whats best for her and baby Aster. But that’s all I can tell you for now!”
Next up Alan Fletcher to sing the next theme with a few tweaks to the lyrics to include the word river at least once.
I swear I read that Bea was leaving at some point...
When? WHENNNN!?!?? LOL
She was only temporarily, to do Britain’s got talent. But I’m guessing as she was knocked out so quickly, it didn’t affect filming.
Does Bea work ? Or is her job just hanging at her aunties house and going to the pub for a beer or two every now and then...
Lol most of them don?t seem to ?work? even when at work.
Yep, and being unreasonably upset when they do something she doesn't like. Like when Elly, her sister struggling with being released from prison following a murder trial and having a hard time getting a job or a new group of friends because of the stigma of said murder trial and subsequent book, decided it might be better to leave Erinsborough.
How very dare she.
her new bloke looks like ned
Digital Spy article - Bonnie/Bea leaving Neighbours mid-year:
Neighbours star Bonnie Anderson confirms exit from Bea Nilsson role
Bea will be leaving Ramsay Street later this year.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...-nilsson-exit/
Neighbours will be saying goodbye to Bea Nilsson later this year, as actress Bonnie Anderson has confirmed that she is leaving the soap after three years in the role.
Bonnie has told Australian newspaper the Sunday Herald Sun that she will soon be departing Ramsay Street, with Bea's final scenes expected to air in mid-2021. No details about her exit plot have yet been revealed.
"I was like a pig in mud at that place," she said of her time on the soap. "Neighbours really changed my life for the better in so, so many ways. I feel like at the age I was, 23, when I joined the show it has really shaped me into the person that I am today.
"I have overcome a lot, I have grown and I am proud of the way I live my life. It was really good to have that structure and now after 3? years on that show I have decided it is time for me to continue challenging myself and create space to focus on my music and songwriting and more acting."
Bonnie, who rose to fame at the age of 12 after winning Australia's Got Talent in 2007, also gave fans a hint about what she'll be getting up to after leaving Erinsborough, saying that she wants to "try different things" in her career.
"I don't want to stick with just one thing," she said. "I am ready to spread my wings. I am ready to fly. First up, it is going to be nice to get into the studio and write some songs and put them out there."
During her time on Neighbours Bonnie had the opportunity to sing the soap's iconic theme song and secured a Logie Award nomination for Most Popular New Talent, while she has also been involved in a number of big storylines as Bea.
Bea's latest plot has seen her being put in serious danger after she was accidentally poisoned by a pie containing death cap mushrooms made by Roxy Willis (Zima Anderson), who had been unaware that she was using a toxic ingredient in her cooking.
Having eaten a whole pie containing the dangerous mushrooms, Bea collapsed and was taken to hospital. After finding out about Bea's condition Roxy and Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan), who thought they had got rid of all the dangerous pies, were guilt-stricken and vowed to confess the truth.
But when Bea regained consciousness, her words stopped Roxy and Kyle from revealing the truth...
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and weekdays at 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Neighbours' Bonnie Anderson has finished filming her final scenes.
The Bea Nilsson star, who announced her exit from the Ramsay Street soap a couple of weeks ago, shared a behind-the-scenes picture on Instagram on her last day.
"End of an era," she captioned the post. "This dressing gown has kept me warm for three and a half years."

Many of her co-stars also left sweet messages, with Zima Anderson (Roxy Willis) and Ben Hall (Ned Willis) among those wishing her well on their Instagram Stories.
Meanwhile, Takaya Honda (David Tanaka) wrote on social media: "I can't believe this wonderful human being is leaving us at @neighbours! I have so much love for you @bonnieandersonmusic and am so excited for your next steps."
https://www.instagram.com/p/CL_V-8Ph...ource=ig_embed
Bonnie's final scenes are expected to air over the next few months.
Explaining her decision to leave, she said that she was looking forward to focusing more on music and new acting projects, adding: "I don't want to stick with just one thing. I am ready to spread my wings. I am ready to fly."
She also described the soap as a life-changing experience.
"[It] really changed my life for the better in so, so many ways," she explained. "I feel like at the age I was, 23, when I joined the show, it has really shaped me into the person that I am today."
No details have been shared yet over how the character will exit, but it does seem like Bea and Levi's blossoming relationship will have to come to an end.
Bea's most recent major storyline saw her hospitalised after eating a poisoned pie containing death cap mushrooms.
Bonnie isn't the only star leaving, with Sharon Johal (Dipi Rebecchi) also announcing her exit in recent weeks.
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
YAAAAAYYYY!!! Sorry

Good luck to her! 😄
Digital Spy article. It was Bea's (& Shiela #2) last episode last night in Aust:
Neighbours airs Bea Nilsson's exit scenes as Bonnie Anderson bows out
It's the end of an era for the Kennedys.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...n-exit-scenes/
Neighbours spoilers follow from Australian episodes, which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.
Neighbours has aired Bonnie Anderson's final scenes in the role of Bea Nilsson on Australian screens.
Monday's episode on 10 Peach in Australia saw Bea depart Ramsay Street for new adventures ? but she didn't go alone.
Recent episodes on Australian screens, which are currently four weeks ahead of the UK, have seen Bea break up with her boyfriend Levi Canning.
Although Levi was heartbroken and believed there was still a chance for them to work things out, Bea was adamant that the split was for the best.
Now single and looking to the future, Bea decided to leave on a road trip with the new Sheila Canning after striking up a friendship with her.
Bea shared heartfelt farewells with the Kennedys, her ex-boyfriend Ned Willis and close friend Yashvi Rebecchi before making her departure. She also wrote an emotional letter to Levi.
The new Sheila, meanwhile, had dramas of her own to resolve before she left.
As Sheila had recently given some advice to Bea, the Ramsay Street Cannings mistakenly blamed her for Bea wanting to end things with Levi.
Sheila 1 considered holding a grudge by refusing to say goodbye to her namesake, but eventually realised she was wrong and thanked Sheila 2 for her recent friendship.
Sheila 2 also had to explain her recent romantic link with Ned after Yashvi found out about their spark. Both Sheila and Ned assured Yashvi that nothing happened between them beyond an emotional connection.
In real life, Bonnie Anderson announced her departure from Neighbours in February.
Speaking to the Sunday Herald Sun at the time, Bonnie explained: "Neighbours really changed my life for the better in so, so many ways. I feel like at the age I was, 23, when I joined the show it has really shaped me into the person that I am today.
"I have overcome a lot, I have grown and I am proud of the way I live my life. It was really good to have that structure and now after 3? years on that show I have decided it is time for me to continue challenging myself and create space to focus on my music and songwriting and more acting."
Shareena Clanton played the role of Sheila for a guest stint. After finishing filming, she revealed her experiences of racism on set, which are now being investigated.
Neighbours' UK fans will see Bea and Sheila leave on June 21 on Channel 5.
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and weekdays at 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

DS article:
Neighbours confirms Bonnie Anderson's return for final episode
Since she does the theme tune, you might say she never left.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...finale-return/
Neighbours has confirmed that another former star is returning for the final ever episode.
Bonnie Anderson played Bea Nilsson for two years starting in 2018, before returning to music, taking part in Britain's Got Talent: The Champions, and winning the second Australian season of The Masked Singer.
Her version of the Neighbours theme tune is being used as the current one for the soap.
Digital Spy can confirm that Bea is returning to reunite with Elly Conway, her sister (played by Jodi Gordon).
The hour-long final ever episode, which is set to air on August 1, will see more than 20 returning characters head back to Ramsay Street for a celebration of the show, including legendary faces like Harold Bishop (Ian Smith), Scott Robinson (Jason Donovan) and Charlene (Kylie Minogue).
Reflecting on returning to the soap that first made her a household name when she was just a teenager, Kylie said: "It was lovely and emotional. Driving into Ramsay Street was quite something.
"Firstly, where's all that time gone? Secondly, everything looks exactly the same. Thirdly, Scott, Charlene, Jane, Harold ? it all just came flooding back. There was a lot of talking about memories and going back in time."
There's plenty of speculation about what will happen in the last ever episode, but executive producer Jason Herbison (who wrote the finale) has said that not everything has managed to leak just yet.
"I'm pleased to say that I haven't seen anyone guess what happens yet," he told Digital Spy exclusively, "though the final scene would be hard to guess!"
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 6pm on Channel 5 and streams on My5. In Australia, the show airs Mondays to Thursdays at 6.30pm on 10 Peach and streams on 10 Play.
