What makes anyone think Ray is going to throw in the towel soon??

 

You knows what can happen. You can ask Neighbours how they handled breaking news Actors leaving without notice with everyone thinking they would come back. Ray could decide to leave and Im sure they ask him to stay. Yet working on a series is hard on older actors and even younger ones.

I'm sure TPTB would hope Ray stays for as long as possible, since I imagine a certain portion of the audience only watch because he's still there. But I'm sure it has crossed the minds of TPTB that if he decided to call it a day during the 30th anniversary year, it would (conveniently) provide the opportunity for a massive storyline to mark the milestone.

Spot on If he was to go they loose many fans and it hurt the show. To add from what I hear fans on social media not too pleased not only with H&A but Aussie TV in general with its current stories  and talent.

I guess it's possible. Nothing has been announced but I wouldn't blame Ray for wanting to see out the 30th anniversary

 

They don't announce cast exits these days though, but they may make a special exception for Ray Meagher though?

Ray departure would be the same as Alan or Jackie leaving on  Neighbours. Although the show would continue it never the be same. I guess that what he wants to do celebrate that and then tell eveyone

"Its been fun"

Bill Roache is still in Corrie at 85. June Brown is still in Easties at 90. Ray is not yet 73 so young enough to be her son so could have many years yet.

73 is the new 63 today.
