'Neighbours’ star Sam Clark has revealed that he was surprised when he heard what the soap's producers had in store for Ringo Brown's final storyline.
The actor announced in July that he would be bowing out from the role of Ringo to concentrate on his music career.
Viewers will see the character's final scenes later this year, in what is expected to be a dramatic exit plot.
Speaking to DigitalSpy about the forthcoming story, Clark teased: "It was quite a shock when I found out how he's going to be leaving the show - it was different to how I expected! But to be given a proper send-off from the show is really nice at the same time.
"I obviously can't give too much away about what happens, but it was nice to be given a proper farewell."
Meanwhile, asked why he decided to leave the programme, the 22-year-old replied: "Neighbours is so full-time that it was difficult to fit anything in outside of it, especially a music career.
"I suppose the choice had to come - did I want to follow my dream of releasing an album, give it my all and do it properly, or did I want to stay at Neighbours?"
