'Neighbours' star: 'Kate struggles without Mark'

Neighbours star Ashleigh Brewer has revealed that her character will struggle to come to terms with Mark Brennan's departure from Erinsborough.

The actress plays Kate Ramsay, whose on-off boyfriend Mark will depart following actor Scott McGregor's descision to leave the soap. He recently filmed his final scenes.

She told the Daily Star Sunday: "She is trying to deal with the break-up and I don't think in her mind, or his, they truly believe this is forever. They just need time to sort out their issues.

"I think he's the one for Kate and they are supposed to be together. They are both very similar to each other but they have a few hurdles to get over.

"I can't reveal how Brennan leaves but Kate will struggle. I've really enjoyed working with Scott so it was sad to say goodbye."

Brewer recently admitted that she would like her character to find a new love interest after Mark's departure.
