Scott McGregor as Mark Brennan
Neighbours returnee Mark Brennan finally makes progress with Kate Ramsay on UK screens next month as he convinces her to give their relationship another chance.
Mark is delighted as Kate (Ashleigh Brewer) admits that he has always been the one for her, but with a departure storyline ahead for Kate, their reunion could be short-lived.
Digital Spy recently caught up with Scott McGregor , who plays Mark, for some hints on what to expect over the next few weeks.
How does it feel to be back on Neighbours?
"It's great, as there's such a great group of people there. They're good friends of mine, so Neighbours is a really easy job to go back to and I'm really enjoying it."
How did you feel when the producers approached you to return again?
"I definitely had to think about it, and to be honest, I originally said no. That wasn't because I didn't want to go back, it was just because of timing and the fact that I was living in LA. I had some priorities elsewhere, so it was just a matter of making things work."
You're back just in time for Kate's exit. Was that part of the reason you returned?
"Definitely - the main reason that I did come back was because I wanted to give Ashleigh a good send-off and the one that she deserves. That was really nice to be involved in."
Mark and Kate get back together in a few weeks' time. How does their reunion come about?
"Mark has been trying his best to win Kate back, and I guess it was just a matter of time before Kate realised what was there in front of her! Mark has always known that Kate was the one for him, and deep down Kate knows that Mark is the one for her too. She just needs to admit it!"

Kate and Mark's fans have waited a long time for their reunion! Will we see the moments of happiness they've been asking for?
"Definitely. Once they get back together they share some really nice moments together, but obviously Ashleigh has left the show so there's a bit of a twist in the end. There's some really nice moments on the way before that, though!"
A few of their fans wanted a wedding, but this has since been ruled out. Would you have liked to have filmed a big soap wedding?
"It would have been nice, but then I also kind of like the way things have happened. A wedding would always be a nice way of seeing them live happily ever after, but there's been so many of those soapie weddings, so I think it's nice that we've done something different instead."
Do you think Ashleigh has a bright future ahead?
"Definitely. I think Ashleigh is one of those people who has got something special. There's something a little bit timeless about her and she's very talented. I think she's going to do really well, it's just a matter of her landing the right role."
How long are you definitely staying at Neighbours for?
"I'm still filming at the moment and I'm contracted until mid-July."
If they asked you to stay for longer, would you be interested?
"I'd definitely consider it. A lot of people forget that, at the end of the day, it's a job and it needs to suit both parties. If it does, I'd love to stay on, but I also need to look at a few other things that are happening in my life. If it works, it works, and if it doesn't, I'll move on."
Mark has recently been working at the garage
Have you enjoyed being back in Melbourne for filming after spending the past couple of years in LA?
"Yeah, I really love it. Melbourne is home and it's where all of my friends and family are, so I love being back."
You've also had the chance to star in some special webisodes…
"Yeah, those were great. To be honest, I didn't really know how fantastic they were going to turn out. Ric Forster directed them and I'd never seen his work before, so I didn't know how great they were going to be. It's a credit to Ric and his work because they just look brilliant."
Are you happy with Mark as a mechanic or do you miss his detective days?
"I do miss him as a detective, so I'd love to speak to the script department and see if we can get him back to being a cop again!"
Aside from Ashleigh, who do you enjoy working with most on set?
"I have a lot of fun working with Stefan Dennis, who plays Paul. We're in a lot of scenes together at the moment and I think we really bounce well off each other.
"Obviously every cast member is great, but I also love working with Ryan Moloney, Alan Fletcher and Jackie Woodburne. To be honest, there's no real favourite - I can't pick one out that stands out more than the others!"
Beyond Neighbours, what are your future ambitions?
"I'm pretty passionate about what I do, so I don't think I'll be going anywhere or giving up acting anytime soon. I want to continue to push harder and continue to work.
"I think acting is one of those careers where you're continually learning, so I'm willing to put in the hard yards. I'll take the time and the effort to get better and hopefully have a long career, so we'll have to wait and see what happens!"
