Neighbours star Stefan Dennis has admitted that he doesn't want his character Paul Robinson to get a new love interest anytime soon.
Paul is currently grieving for the loss of his former lover Priya Kapoor (Menik Gooneratne), who passed away after being caught up in Toadie and Sonya's wedding day explosion.
Speaking to Digital Spy about the recent storyline and Paul's future, Dennis hinted that a long-term romance isn't on the cards after Priya's death.
He explained: "Menik is a charming lady to work with, and incredibly funny with a wicked sense of humour - we will all miss her.
"Would I like Paul to get a new love interest? No, not really. It would be predictable for him to start a new relationship. I'd like him to focus on trying to rule everyone else's life!"
However, asked to name his dream storyline, the actor added: "It would be fun to see him reunited with some of his earlier wives."
The 54-year-old also praised the Neighbours team for continuing to provide a mix of Paul's good and bad sides in storylines.
He said: "I do enjoy the bad boy in Paul, but that can become very predictable if it happens continually, so I think the writers give him just the right balance he needs to keep viewers guessing what's next."
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 in the UK, and weekdays at 6.30pm on Eleven in Australia.
