Neighbours, everbody loves good neighbours...
NEIGHBOURS, long regarded as a staple of family-friendly entertainment, is to jump on the pink TV bandwagon.
While audiences can see gay culture portrayed in shows including Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, The Block and Will & Grace, the producers of Neighbours are introducing the first homosexual character to Ramsay St.
Actor Bridget Neval, 19, will make her Neighbours debut as lesbian school student Lana Crawford on August 30.
Little, it seems, will be left to the audience’s imagination regarding the character’s sexual orientation, with a storyline seeing Lana kiss Sky Mangel, played by Stephanie McIntosh.
Can you say Jump the Shark?
