Amazon has said it was not already planning to revive the long-running Australian soap Neighbours at the time of the show’s star-studded supposed finale, as former cast member Guy Pearce made pointed comments about the show’s return at the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (Aacta) awards on Wednesday.
Pearce was a main character in the soap for three years in the late 1980s, starring opposite Kylie Minogue and Jason Donavan before forging a reputation as a Hollywood actor in films such as The Hurt Locker, The King’s Speech and Memento.
