Bye Bye Boys

Fri 29th February 2008

In a move that's set to shock the female fans of Neighbours, several of Erinsborough's hottest bachelors will be leaving the show over the next few months.

In chronological order, the departures set to break our hearts are: Sweeney Young (Riley Parker), Jesse Rosenfeld (Marco Silvani), Dan O'Connor (Ned Parker) and David Hoflin (Oliver Barnes).

Sweeney filmed his final scenes last week and cast and crew are already gearing themselves up for yet more emotional goodbyes. Jesse will leave in early April, followed by Dan at the end of the month and David in early May.

The departure of so many good looking gentlemen is certain to leave a gaping hole in the heart of Ramsay Street. David Hoflin is currently in the running towards becoming Cleo Bachelor of the Year and Dan O'Connor is still the reigning King of Teen according to Dolly magazine readers.

Clearly this spells bad news for one lady in particular: Carmella Cammeniti (Natalie Blair). Although we don't want to give away too much, we can reveal that one love of Carmella's life is going to die. Will it be Italian Stallion Marco? Reliable ex-boyfriend Ned? Or will it be Oliver, the father of her beautiful baby daughter Chloe?

Thankfully things look an awful lot brighter for the actors themselves. Jesse and David are both planning to travel and former Australian Idol contestant Dan intends to release an album by the start of 2009. Sweeney, on the other hand, has some slightly less conventional plans.

"I will be turning to petty theft as my source of income," he tells us. "I will also sell my furniture on eBay. Once I have exhausted my supply of furniture I will begin surviving on coins found underneath vending machines."

Best of luck boys. We'll miss you!
