Guest Soapie Role For Tim.

Tim Robards is joining Neighbours for a guest stint.

The former Bachelor is making his first foray into acting with an eight-week spot on the long-running soap. "At the start of this year I decided to make acting the top of my priority list and I've been putting in the work behind closed doors with different coaches - pushing myself out of my comfort zone and then this role came up, so I'm super excited," he said. "I watched Neighbours as a kid so to be on the set with such iconic characters like Paul Robinson, Toadie and Susan is an amazing experience. The entire cast and crew have been so welcoming"

Daily Telegraph article - Tim Robards (Pierce Greyson) has now landed a permanent role in Neighbours


Bachelor Returns To The Neighbourhood

After a guest stint on popular TV soap Neighbours, former Bachelor hunk Tim Robards has landed a permanent role on the show.

The former reality star, who played Pierce Greyson at the end of last year, will return in the same role in May. "I am super excited," Robards said. "It means I didn't totally crash and burn my first major acting role. When I first started on set (it was) like the first few seconds of jumping out of a plane - you forget to breathe while everything is coming at you 100 miles an hour."

Robards is based in Sydney with new wife Anna Heinrich and will fly to Melbourne weekly to film the show.

"Commuting back and forth to Melbourne and Sydney isn't going to be easy bit I have the most supportive wife in Anna (Heinrich)," he said.

Interesting. I liked him, the last time, he was on the show.

was he the guy who wanted to buy chloe?

Yes that's him. I liked him as well.

What's the betting he falls for Mel?!

NO!! I couldn’t stand his character!! Why bring him back now!! What a mess. These writers don’t know whether they are coming or going at the moment. Poor choice, I’d my 2 cents worth.

I liked him too, after he loosened up a bit. Plus he's hot.

Neighbours' Pierce Greyson to discover Ebony Buttrose's big secret
How will he react?

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...ttrose-secret/

Neighbours' Pierce Greyson is about to discover Ebony Buttrose's big secret.

Chloe Brennan (April Rose Pengilly) is the first to find out what Ebony (Christie Hayes) is hiding after she confronted the newcomer at the end of today's (June 24) episode, which we know will prompt Ebony to confess that she is secretly using some of Pierce's money to support her sister, who's a struggling single mother.

But Pierce (Tim Robards) will soon discover what his fiancée is up to as well after he finds them the perfect luxury house, only for Ebony to begin making excuses to put off moving in.

hen Chloe challenges Ebony over her suspicious behaviour, Ebony admits that she’s secretly letting her hard-up sister Crystal live there with her small children.

Although Chloe urges Ebony to tell Pierce the truth, she initially agrees to help Ebony and her sister by finding an affordable rental for the family to live in – but when she's later left alone in the house, Chloe can't resist sneaking a peek at Ebony's wedding dress and holding it up against herself, only to be quickly caught by Pierce.

A baffled Pierce demands an explanation, but Chloe ultimately keeps Ebony's secret.

Unfortunately, when Pierce later asks Mark to get Chloe to back off, Mark reveals that Chloe's actually covering for Ebony, and Pierce arrives to get the truth about what's going on from Ebony just as Chloe has finally managed to convince her to reveal all.

After the secret is revealed, a stunned Pierce gives Ebony an ultimatum: she can either sign a financially binding agreement and stay in the relationship, or take a huge payout and walk away for good.

What will Ebony decide? And how will Chloe feel about the decision?

Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Neighbours reveals big news over Pierce Greyson's future in the show
Is he staying or is he going?

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...e-tim-robards/

Despite media doubt surrounding Tim Robards' future on Neighbours, it looks like Pierce Greyson is here to stay.

The 47-year-old, who made his name on reality show The Bachelor Australia, landed himself a permanent spot on the soap last year.

And while some news outlets cast doubt over his potential to remain on the show, executive producer Jason Herbison has revealed he'll be a cast member "well into 2020".

"We are absolutely delighted with Tim's performance and have just recontracted him to ensure his character is on screen well into 2020," Herbison told Daily Mail Australia.

"We have some incredibly juicy story arcs in the pipeline for Pierce which are sure to shock and enthral fans and we have no doubt Tim will deliver."

The news arrives soon after Woman's Day suggested the soap's team weren't happy with Tim's performance.

However, Tim's gone and proved otherwise, as has the EP, who said these statements couldn't be further from the truth. And now the chiropractor-turned-TV star has got some "juicy story arcs" to sink those acting chops into.

Back in August, the actor revealed to Digital Spy about the snobbery he's encountered as a result of his reality TV background.

"There are some people out there who just see you as wearing one hat," he told us.

"They think, 'Aren't you a chiropractor, so you shouldn't do anything else? Weren't you on The Bachelor, you shouldn't be in anything else?'

"I have learned not to pay too much attention to that kind of small thinking though as it's limiting. I love that I can turn myself into different things and different challenges."

He added: "Eventually, I would love to inspire other people to do more of what you love – if you are doing something you love then you will probably be good at it.”

Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

i think Chloe is the problem in this dynamic. She was just like Hendrix up until about a week before he arrived and is now becoming strict Mum without seeing his perspective.

Pierce moving from flash businessman to family man has been quite steady, partly because we haven't seen him in too many storylines, but her character flip flops from week to week and being Mum doesn't suit her (yet).

Neighbours' Pierce and Chloe hit with bombshell after wedding
Hendrix has an announcement to make.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...ing-bombshell/

Neighbours couple Pierce Greyson and Chloe Brennan have to deal with a bombshell after their wedding next month.

New spoiler pictures show the moment that Pierce (Tim Robards) and Chloe (April Rose Pengilly) tie the knot, despite a few hurdles in the run-up to their big moment.

Scenes airing on Monday, December 9 see Pierce and Chloe's wedding day arrive, but it's fair to say that nothing is going to plan.

After a conversation with Sheila Canning on her hen night, Chloe has cold feet as she fears losing her freedom once she's married to Pierce.

Meanwhile, Pierce's teenage son Hendrix (Benny Turland) has run away, unable to cope with the wedding as he has feelings of his own for Chloe.

Even though there isn't much time to spare, Pierce chooses to put his son first for once and rushes off to find Hendrix.

As guests start arriving for the wedding, there's no sign of Pierce. Chloe has managed to get over her last-minute doubts with some help from Elly Conway (Jodi Anasta), but she still can't help feeling nervous since her groom is nowhere to be seen.

In the high tension of the moment, Chloe even starts to wonder whether she has "bad wedding karma" after previously playing a role in ruining Mark and Elly's big day.

Fortunately for Chloe, Neighbours' official spoiler pictures show that she does ultimately end up exchanging her vows with Pierce.

Afterwards, the couple also plan to repeat the ceremony in Adelaide for the rest of the family.

Just when things are looking up, Pierce and Chloe are shocked to learn that Hendrix doesn't want to live with them anymore.

Pierce also opens up to Chloe about the real reason he has been absent for most of Hendrix's life. How will Chloe react?

Neighbours airs these scenes on Monday, December 9 and Tuesday, December 10 at 12.50pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Neighbours reveals Pierce Greyson's baby decision as Chloe Brennan demands answers
Lisa's proposition has a major impact.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...baby-decision/

Neighbours businessman Pierce Greyson makes a big decision next week in the wake of Lisa Rowsthorn's baby bombshell.

Show bosses are about to introduce former Blue Heelers actress Jane Allsop in the role of Lisa, who's the mum of Pierce's troublesome son Hendrix.

Lisa turns up following concern over Hendrix's latest bad behaviour, but later sparks a unexpected situation of her own by telling Pierce (Tim Robards) that she wants him to father another baby with her.

Much to the concern of Pierce's wife Chloe (April Rose Pengilly), he doesn't immediately dismiss the idea and agrees to give it some thought.

Next week, Pierce is no closer to making his decision following Lisa's proposition. He admits that it's enticing, but he also fears the impact that it could have on his marriage to Chloe.

Meanwhile, Chloe becomes convinced that it's only a matter of time before Pierce agrees to Lisa's idea.

Losing patience, Chloe demands to hear what Pierce is thinking. He admits that he does want to say yes, but won't if it will mean losing Chloe.

Chloe gives it some thought, but later admits to Pierce that she wouldn't feel comfortable with the idea of him having a baby with his ex.

She also explains that while she never planned to have children with Pierce, the current situation is making her reconsider things.

Pierce decides to support Chloe and they prepare to break the news to Lisa that they'll be turning her down. However, another twist means that we may not have seen the last of Lisa...

Neighbours airs these scenes on Tuesday, January 28 and Wednesday, January 29 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Neighbours star Tim Robards reveals exciting baby news
"We've been keeping busy in lockdown."

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...-robards-baby/

Neighbours' Tim Robards announced his wife's pregnancy on Instagram today (May 2).

Posting an adorable collage of himself alongside Anna Heinrich, with added baby scans, the Australian star excitedly shared with his fans: "We've been keeping busy in lockdown ... I can't wait to be a Dad!!!

"The giddy feelings in my stomach show there must be a few nerves, but I know Anna's going to be an absolutely amazing mother and I couldn't be more excited to start a family with her! #BabyRobards #2020 @annaheinrich1."

Tim's followers and friends quickly responded to the news with well wishes, as one wrote: "Oh wow congratulations you 2! How exciting!!."

"Wohooo welcome to the dad club brother! Hugely excited for you guys" and "THIS THE GREATEST NEWS. Huge congratulations guys," shared two more.

Meanwhile, ecstatic to become a mum, Anna also posted the same batch of images on her own Instagram page.

"It's been so hard to keep this a secret, over the past few months, but I can now finally shout... I'M PREGNANT!!!," she beamed.

"With everything that's going on in the world we feel incredibly lucky and grateful to be starting a family together, and we're so looking forward to this next chapter in our lives. #BabyRobardsComingSoon @mrtimrobards."

Neighbours currently airs Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and weekdays at 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).



This news comes after this earlier nowtolove.com.au article from January:

tim leaving pierce recast

https://www.radiotimes.com/news/soap...reyson-recast/

Makes sense due to circumstances.. but it'll be like when the Fresh Prince of Bel Air changed Aunt Viv. In that both Will and Jazz said something like 'hm, didn't you used to look different?', in Neighbours they probably won't even acknowledge it. Sounds like he and Chloe will break up though.

Wouldn?t it have been better just to have Chloe, Pierce and Hendrix stay in Adelaide for a few months so Fay was closer to the whole family? You can be a great actor and get the characters spot on but it?s so hard to connect to the new ones when you?re so used to the others.

Digital Spy article:


Neighbours star April Rose Pengilly explains why Pierce Greyson recast was unavoidable
Don Hany will replace Tim Robards for the character's final scenes.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...eyson-goodbye/

Neighbours star April Rose Pengilly has shed some light on why Pierce Greyson was recast for his final scenes.

It was announced earlier this week that Don Hany will be replacing original Pierce actor Tim Robards to film some final scenes for the character, so Tim can return to Sydney to be with his wife ahead of the birth of their first child.

The creative decision to recast such a memorable character only for his exit scenes has caused confusion for some viewers, with many questioning why Pierce wasn't simply written out off-screen.

However, Chloe Brennan actress April Rose Pengilly has now explained on her Instagram Story that it would have been too complicated to simply have Pierce disappear.

"We are so sad to lose [Tim], but we're in crazy times here, and this really was the best thing for the show and the complex storyline in which Pierce is involved (hence why he couldn't just suddenly be written out," she wrote to fans.

The actress went on: "I know it will be a little strange to have Pierce SUDDENLY be a totally different man, with all of us acting like nothing has changed (believe me, it was a bizarre adjustment for us too!), but we are all doing our best to take care of ourselves and each other and still give you the Neighbours you love."

Robards has also taken to Instagram following the announcement of his Neighbours departure to thank fans for supporting him.

"Don Hany, the legend Don Hany, will be stepping into this role," he added. "He is a legend in the Australian acting industry, and I'm sure he'll do a good job.

"I'm sure he'll smash it, and I just want to say thanks, mate. Thanks for stepping in, and I hope you guys welcome him with open arms."

Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

So assuming Pierce and Chloe break up. Perhaps Chloe will want to end her pregnancy and Pierce isn't happy.

I hope it isn?t another cheating storyline. I actually like Chloe and Pierce together, it would be so typical to go down the line of her leaving him for a woman just because she?s bisexual.

I agree, I like them as a couple too! So does that mean that Hendrix will leave too or is he staying with Chloe?

Would they kill him off? Hence why the need for a recast

I don?t think they?d do another death this year. I?m thinking he gets a job offer overseas and Chloe won?t go with him because of Fay and staying close to family.

I think they will just break up. Maybe chole loses the baby?

short term only to film his exit

Shame that Don Hany, one of Australia's best TV actors, is brought in to REPLACE a reality personality only for them to write out Pierce. Should have had Don Hany from the start.
