Tom Oliver describes the perfect manner that he would like Lou Carpenter to leave Neighbours.
Tom Oliver has revealed how he would like his character Lou Carpenter to eventually exit Neighbours.
The actor, who first appeared in the Australian soap in 1988, rejected the traditional ways characters leave Ramsay Street in favour of some of his own ideas.
"[Going to] Bendigo seems to be choice number one, some couples have gone to Perth too. I don't think Lou will ever retire. Just for fun I wrote half a dozen ideas of how Lou could leave the show," he told DS.
"Choice number six was that he drops dead of a heart attack in the general store, holding a beer with a beautiful woman on his knee and a smile on his face. That would be Lou's perfect exit!"
Oliver went on to admit that he is unsure what storylines Lou will have once he returns to the show after a short break.
"I'm taking a three-month break, so Lou will be off your screens for a bit," he said. "But when he comes back the Parkers will have gone, so who knows where Lou will even live? So long as it's not that bloody caravan!"
