INTERVIEWS & ARTICLES
Leaving the Neighbourhood by Michelle Bateman, Jackie Brygel & Clare Rigden TV Week, Australia, 18th November 2006
Ramsay Street gets ready to farewell two lovable rogues
When Damien Bodie and his co-star, Ben Nicholas, recently announced they were leaving Neighbours, many fans were broken-hearted. Chatting to TV WEEK, Damien, who plays Dylan, Stingray’s bad-boy sibling, now explains, that after two years on Ramsay Street, it was time to go. “Leaving was a joint decision (with the show’s producers),” Damien reveals. “I wanted to leave on a high – while my character was still having some fun with interesting storylines and while I was working with people who hadn’t got sick of me! I think they realised it was time for Dylan to move on as well. I’d done a long list of children’s TV series before Neighbours. This role has taught me so much and has set me up for the future.”
Damien, 21, believes it’s fitting that he and Ben, who plays Dylan’s younger brother, complete their final scenes around the same time. “I could not picture Dylan on the show without Stingray,” he says. “We’ve become like brothers in real life, too.” As for what’s next for the young actor, Damien is hoping to take a well-deserved break before reassessing his options. “I’m just really happy kicking back and having a look around, as well as spending time with friends and family,” he says.
And while Damien’s lips are sealed regarding how they will be written out of Neighbours, he does hint they won’t be relocating to Queensland, like many other one-time residents. “It was so exciting when the producers sat down and explained what they wanted to do with the storyline,” he says. “Ben and I were just blown away. We were so happy that they were going to give us a shot to go out with a bang. It’ll be very dramatic.”
