'Neighbours' actress Ashleigh Brewer praises Brennan exit plot

Neighbours star Ashleigh Brewer has heaped praise on the soap's dramatic departure plot for Mark Brennan.

Tomorrow, UK fans of the show will see Brennan make his exit from Erinsborough as he enters a witness protection programme due to his involvement in a police corruption case.

The detective's final episode plays out in real time in the style of US TV show 24, following Brewer's character Kate Ramsay as she battles to leave the street with her boyfriend.

Speaking to Channel 5's Neighbours website about filming the special instalment, Brewer commented: "The biggest challenge was the rain. It looks amazing, but it was beyond freezing and it was a night shoot. I think it took me a week to thaw out!"

"It was incredibly stressful, in a good way though," she continued. "It was exhausting, and I think we can all say that we were happy once it was over. But the final result was well worth it."

Meanwhile, discussing former co-star Scott McGregor, who played the role of Brennan, Brewer said: "I'm so glad the writers gave him such a good final storyline and that I could be a part of it."

McGregor is now hoping to pursue career opportunities in the US and UK.
