'Neighbours' actress wants new love plot

Ashleigh Brewer has revealed that she would like her Neighbours character Kate Ramsay to get a new boyfriend in the coming months.

Kate will be left without a love interest in Erinsborough later this year as Scott McGregor, who plays her on-off partner Mark Brennan, has decided to leave the show and recently filmed his final scenes.

In an interview with Holy Soap, Brewer confirmed that she is now looking forward to seeing who Kate could fall for next.

She explained: "I love working with someone really closely - relationship storylines are great to play when the mix is right."

Asked who she would like to see as Kate's next boyfriend, Brewer replied: "Ooh, that's an interesting question. There has been speculation about Kate and Kyle getting together. I think they could work, but Kyle would really want to look after Kate and she isn't willing to accept that she needs looking after.

"She is very independent and that could almost be the end of them before they start, she needs someone more parallel with her - but the writers may have other ideas."

Chris Milligan, who portrays the role of Kyle, was recently promoted to a full-time cast member on Neighbours.
