Sunday Herald Sun reports that former Neighbours actress Nicola Charles (Sarah Beaumont) has claimed she was offered drugs on the set of the show, and came to the aid of a female cast member who passed out on set after using speed, the unnamed actress taking it because she was trying to keep her weight down. These claims are highlighted in Charles’ autobiography ‘Soap Star’.
The last thing Neighbours needs now is more allegations of inappropriate workplace behaviour.

No holding up the Ramsay Street sign?
This was from December last year. How far in advance do they film? Maybe I’ve missed these episodes.
She could play Amy actually, Paul’s daughter, if they wanted to reprise that character. I see some similarities to Zoe Cramond.

It’s not unusual for Neighbours to film scenes for episodes way in advance for future storylines. When some actors left the show, they have filmed scenes in advance for an upcoming storyline or exit of another character on a longer contract. Another one, with the longest stretch was filming scenes at the Sydney Mardis Gras in 2019 which were shown in a storyline 12 months later during the 2020 Sydney Mardis Gras.

The set lighting seems to have changed recently. Is this permanent? It seems a lot darker these days as well as having lots of shadows.
