Jacinta Stapleton focuses on new projects after Neighbours cancellation

Jacinta Stapleton, known for her role in the soap opera Neighbours, has spoken out about the show's cancellation for a second time. This comes just two years after it was revived. The actress, who plays Amy Greenwood, expressed that she feels "free" and is looking forward to new opportunities despite the show's uncertain future. Many fans are upset by the news of Neighbours being axed again. However, Stapleton is focusing on her next big project. She revealed that she has been developing a sci-fi script for a while and is proud of it. She described the project as an important story that highlights issues affecting the planet, aimed at a broad audience. The script, which features twelve main characters and twenty-six species, marks a significant shift from her work on Neighbours. Jacinta co-wrote the script with a collaborator from Texas and is now working with a creative team to bring it to life. She also mentioned an upcoming appearance at a TV forum in Birmingham, joking that the panel would discuss Neighbours but kept the details under wraps. Though she cherishes her Australian television roots, Stapleton feels she receives more support from British audiences. She believes that Australia needs to invest more in the arts, as many actors seek opportunities in other countries due to a lack of commitment at home. With the future of Neighbours uncertain, Stapleton is ready to explore new paths, whether in Hollywood, London, or through her sci-fi endeavor.
