Clark tips Harold for 'Neighbours' return

Neighbours star Sam Clark has predicted that fans could soon see Harold Bishop return to Erinsborough.

Ramsay Street legend Harold was last seen on screen in early 2009, when he left his long-term home in favour of a new life living with his granddaughter Sky. The character's departure came after actor Ian Smith decided to bow out from the role.

Clark - who recently filmed his final scenes as Ringo Brown on the drama - told Bang Showbiz: "Harold Bishop could be coming back to Neighbours. I think everyone on the show realised how much the fans missed him."

The 23-year-old also claimed that Neighbours' move from BBC One to Five in the UK was one of the main reasons behind Smith's departure.

"Ian was actually fuming when he heard the show was moving to Five," Clark said. "Obviously Neighbours has got a massive following in the UK and he thought the channel change would have a big impact. He honestly thought the producers had lost their minds when he heard, and it was a big part of his decision to leave."

Clark has been busy pursuing a music career in recent months and is currently in the UK to promote his single 'Devastated'.
