Another 'Neighbours' star to leave

Another Neighbours cast member is leaving the show later this year.

According to fansite The Perfect Blend, Lara Sacher - who plays Serena Bishop - will depart as part of an "extremely dramatic" storyline, to be shown in Oz in October.

The news comes just weeks after it emerged that her onscreen parents, played by Kevin Harrington and Marcella Russo, were being axed as part of a cast shakeup.

"All three Bishops will be leaving together ... in one of our most startling storylines for the year," script producer Luke Devenish told the website.

"Lil and David have been at the very forefront of stories this year - caught up in wicked Paul's web - and their departure ties into this. The door will be left open for their return, however, despite the spectacular circumstances. Serena's final scenes will be nothing short of heartbreaking - but very memorable!"

The scenes will air in the UK early in 2006.
