Maybe her accent these days is more London than Erinsborough :rofl::rofl:

Courtney Act to appear on “Neighbours Made me a Star”? Her picture clearly says “Performer and Neighbours Guest Star”. I think she was a star before appearing on Neighbours…

It’s a Channel 5 show so don’t have high expectations.

An update today that Whitehorse councillors rejected the application for heritage protection.

One councillor said “Pin Oak Court is no Como House…it’s no Windsor Castle.”

Another councillor said “Neighbours finished for a reason - it was a great show but the ratings dropped”.

They just want to develop it like everywhere else

Sensible move, especially seeing that only the front facade of each house was used on the show. Perhaps they should protect the sets that were used for the inside of the houses, or have they already been destroyed?

Not surprised regarding that Pin Oak Court is not heritage listed, since only the frontages were used. As iconic as the show is. I reckon that sooner than later that one of the houses will have major renovations. It will be sad when that happens.

From memory, the outside facades sets like Lassiters Hotel, Harolds Cafe and Grease Monkeys etc, will be not be demolished until later in the year - when it will make way for the housing development. Am hoping that they’ll be moved onto another site rather than being demolished.

As for the inside sets, i cannot remember what they said about those sets and what will be done to them. Since the “Prisoner Building” is heritage listed, cant that be used as storage and/or a museum, or is that being upgraded also?

I think its inevitable… they cant keep everything. Some of the external sets may be sold off at an auction. I remember GTV9 did something similar when it vacated Bendigo Street.

From my understanding there are a few museums looking at displaying the internal sets etc. No doubt the Kennedy House and Harold’s Café will be kept. All currently in storage.
