Neighbours star Stefan Dennis has admitted that he used to get "a little bit angry" with Kylie Minogue for distancing herself from the soap.
The actor claimed that Minogue wanted to forget her iconic role as Charlene Robinson when she left to pursue a singing career in 1988.
Dennis, who plays bad boy Paul Robinson, told the Herald Sun: "I can understand why, because she was trying to forge a career in a new direction. But she will never get rid of Charlene from Neighbours. I'm sorry to say, Kylie. You will never get rid of that.
"I used to get a little bit angry with her, because she would not be where she is today if it weren't for her start on this show. It's a bit of give and take. Don't ever bite the hand that feeds.''
The 54-year-old said that his former on-screen sister-in-law is now much more positive when she speaks about Neighbours.
He continued: "Bless Kylie because she turned around [her snub] now. I would never say anything bad about Kylie because I love her dearly.''
Dennis added that he thinks attitudes towards Neighbours have changed over the years.
He said: "True thespians used to tell me, 'Bless you, one day you'll get a real acting job, young man'. Now, those same actors and their counterparts would crawl over broken glass to be on Neighbours, because it has credibility and respect.''
