i think it might end up being revamped into a 1 hour episode each week if its renewed unless the numbers justify the continuance at 4 episodes a week.
yes 3 episodes is also possible but would Ten continue it at 4pm 3 days a week or could Ten slot it in the new Neighbours episode at say 6pm til 7:30pm Saturdays with these episodes encoring at 6pmpm Sunday on 10Peach with 10 Peach encores at 7:00am til 8:30am Saturday mornings
It’s not up to Ten. Amazon is mostly funding it.
i think they have some sort of say as to how they schedule Neighbours. I am just saying how I can see them programming it if it continues
It still airs on the national broadcaster in Ireland RTÉ which differs from the UK. On the primary channel during the day and on the secondary channel in early primetime.
It baffles me they released Melanie and left us with Vera living with 3 young people. I don’t understand the thought process.
Not sure if this is still the case, but Sally Anne-Upton, who plays Vera, is also the on set nurse, so might be cheaper to use her since she is already there anyway.
Still, the whole having Vera move into the share house is still bizarre IMO - if they wanted to have her play a bigger role, or fill some gaps in stories, just have her pop in more often while still living in her own house.
Well, that’s a ridiculous thing to say. It’s not like she’s stepping in front of the cameras when she has a free moment nursing. 
I’d say she would be told when she was needed for her acting role and then if she wasn’t scheduled to work for a while, she could request shifts on the roster to do her nursing role.
Ease up, I think you’ve taken that a little too literally - I don’t believe JPA’s intent was just that she is there on standby if they need a fill-in.
More it’s convenient they can use her as needed, which would obviously be planned and part of a script.
No need for patronising emojis to get your point across
Thanks for patronising me. 
Really sad news here, but could they have made the watermark a bit bigger?
Harold waves goodbye to Ramsay Street. We’re sharing the sad news that Ian Smith will soon be stepping away from the beloved role of Harold Bishop. Ian first played Harold in 1987 and it’s been a huge privilege to welcome him back to the show over the years.
We’re also thrilled to announce that Anne Charleston will be joining Ian on set for some of his last scenes. In what context Anne will appear is yet to be revealed, but to have the iconic couple reunited will be one final treat for fans.
Erinsborough won’t quite be the same again, but rest assured that Harold is set to have a send-off fit for Ramsay Street royalty.
Very sad news but I’m so glad that he has been able to leave on his own terms rather than if the show gets cancelled again.
Ian/Harold are so loved and respected, not just in Neighbours but in the entire industry and his last episodes have the potential to be huge. I hope so. He really deserves it.
Ian Smith - or Harold Bishop as he’s known to Neighbours fans around the world - is a beloved institution when it comes to the Australian and UK small screen. He came to 10 News First to reveal the reason he’s leaving the soap opera for good - his terminal cancer diagnosis. He spoke with Angela Bishop about his love for life, Neighbours and his thoughts on the future.
Very sad interview.
But surprised to hear Anne Charleston is portraying a new character for her return.
One of Ian’s final scenes was filmed on November 20, from the interview video. Note the episode number on top of the clapperboard.
That’s 9224 while today ep was 9156. So that’s 68 more episodes which is about 3 more months away.
Angela showing what a pro she is
