New schedules have been revealed.
Once Neighbours ends permanently on Channel 5, Home and Away will move to a different time period.
The long-running Summer Bay serial has been broadcast at 1.15pm for a number of years, but it will change after Neighbours’ final episode has aired.
The final schedules for the first week of August, when Neighbours is no longer airing, were revealed today (July 20).
Home and Away will move to the time slot that used to be occupied by Neighbours at 1.45 p.m., according to Channel 5.
Home and Away’s evening repeat will continue to air on 5STAR at 6 o’clock. Some viewers had questioned whether it might move back into a 6 o’clock time slot on Channel 5 now that Neighbours is no longer airing, but this doesn’t seem to be the case.
As per customary, the first-look screening will start at 6.30 p.m. on 5STAR.
Greg Barnett, who supervises Home and Away for Channel 5, recently discussed the future of the serial opera with Digital Spy in an exclusive interview.
He said, “Someone is going to get shot, and a few new faces are about to show up in the Bay, some of whom will have locals and viewers on pins and needles about their true motives.
“There are massive storylines set to roll out later this year which will involve some of our most beloved characters, including Marilyn.
“I can’t say more than that, but there’ll be plenty of teasers and clips on the UK Home and Away Facebook page as we head towards the show’s 35th anniversary next year and of course we’ll be continuing to support with promos and cast visits. Exciting times.”
