Neighbours Spoilers – Tim Robard’s Wife Pregnant
Tim Robard’s wife Anna Heinrich – who he met on The Bachelor Australia – is pregnant with their first child. While she is living at their home in Sydney, Tim has been living in Melbourne for filming during the week and traveling to be with his wife on the weekend. For this reason, Tim had decided to leave the show in the fall and focus on his growing family. However, due to complications with COVID traveling restrictions, he has had to leave the show four weeks earlier than expected to be safe with his wife when their child is born.
Rather than rewriting Pierce’s exit storyline, Neighbours showrunners have decided to recast the role and film Pierce’s last few weeks on Ramsay Street with another actor. This is a testament to the resilience of the show, who wanted to give the character a proper storyline rather than rewriting and not giving Pierce the ending he deserved.
