Bonnie Anderson will miss Jodi Anasta after Neighbours exit

Bonnie Anderson is going to miss Jodi Anasta.
The ‘Neighbours’ actress – who has played Bea Nilsson on the Australian soap since 2018 – admitted she’s going to find it tough her co-star leaves the role of Elly Conway.
Discussing her on-screen sister’s upcoming exit, Bonnie told RadioTimes.com: "It’s so sad for Bea, and for Bonnie!
"I lose my on-screen sister, my best mate from the show, Jodi really has become like a real-life sister to me."
Although Bea has forgiven Elly for her fling with ex flame Finn Kelly (Rob Mills), the latter is still causing problems even after his death.
Jodi’s character is implicated in his death, facing a murder change in a plot that will see her alter ego bow out of the show.
However, Bonnie doesn’t want to reveal too much about where the gripping storyline is going next, because there is a lot more twists to come.
She said: "There is a lot to come before Elly leaves. Jodi is such a great actor and it’s special to watch it all unfold.
"What I can say is Elly’s exit is very emotional, and the reason why she leaves is because it’s what is best for her and her daughter Aster.
"That’s all I’m telling you!"
Looking to the future, the 25-year-old star teased that there is plenty to explore for her character in the future on the Channel 4 soap.
She added: "For instance, we haven’t met her dad yet. He is out there and it would be cool to explore that relationship, although there are no immediate plans.
"Apparently he’s this Swedish guy, I don’t know if I look Swedish at all! I’d love for Bea’s mum Liz to come back, that could be fun.
"Debra Lawrance comes in and out, usually to muck things up for Bea! I love working with her and the contrast of Liz and Susan as these opposite sisters is great."
