Besides the fact that yall think all australians are hot, you also have this sentiment that Australians are somewhat conservative (aka racist, bigoted, etc) irl they are, lets see how they've done on television
Menik Gooneratne, left, Coco-Jacinta Chen and Sachin Joab
Show: Neighbours
After Sachin's character gathered favourable responses inspite of racist comments left in forums and posts, a story was developed and the creation of his character's family happened.
Problem: What was problematic were the ways these characters left after their arcs were done.
- Producers reported that these actors left to pursue other work,
- The actors responded by saying that they didn't know that their characters wouldn't be returning the year after. Thus returning the show to an all white cast
- Sachin then stated that the producers let them go, due to lack of storyline ideas and a small budget.
- Sachin then questioned as to how that was considering his character lost his wife and became a single father, he even suggested several storylines that were then rejected.
- The characters left the show, returning to India, even though the characters were Australian born and raised
- Sachin suggested his character leave for a different part of Australia, which was rejected
- The writers finally accepted his suggestion of the family visiting family on the way home to the UK
