Episode 8052
[edit]- ... that "Episode 8052" of Australian soap opera Neighbours is a two-hander that features the death of series regular Sonya Rebecchi? Source: "Next Tuesday Neighbours will screen a very special episode when Sonya Rebecchi (Eve Morey) loses her battle with ovarian cancer. In a rare move, this will be a two-hander episode featuring Eve Morey and Ryan Moloney as Jarrod 'Toadie"' Rebecchi."
- ALT1:... that actress Eve Morey returned to film "Episode 8052" of Neighbours two weeks after she had wrapped her stint on the show? Source: The source is offline, but the quote is "We were meant to film them earlier, but the weather was bad, so I ended up going back and doing them two weeks after I'd wrapped on the show. So those really were my final scenes!"
- ALT2:... that "Episode 8052" of Australian soap opera Neighbours features the death of series regular Sonya Rebecchi, whose portrayer was written out to reduce production costs? "At the end of 2017 Neighbours was at a point where it was negotiating its future (following Australian broadcaster Network Ten going into administration), and there had to be changes budget-wise for it to move forward in every department, and I was part of that."
- ALT3:... that "Episode 8052" of Australian soap opera Neighbours was described as "gut-wrenching, tragic and incredibly difficult to watch" by a critic from Digital Spy? Source: "Gut-wrenching, tragic and incredibly difficult to watch – not descriptions you'd see for most episodes of sunshine soap Neighbours."

Of the hooks proposed, I think the only option moving forward is ALT2, but I'm not fond of its current state, since it seems to assume the reader is familiar with Neighbours (and I doubt most of our non-Australian readers do). Why not try focusing on the death of the character being due to the budget cuts? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:17, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
- I'll see what I can do. I disagree with your statement about non-Australian readers being unfamiliar with Neighbours though. I'm British and the show has a bigger following in the UK than Australia. It has been broadcast in over 60 countries, and with actors such as Margot Robbie going on to have big success in the film industry, there are more non-Australians aware of it than you think. - JuneGloom07 Talk 18:45, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5: I've added some further ALTs and a QPQ. - JuneGloom07 Talk 23:46, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
- ALT4:... that "Episode 8052" of Australian soap opera Neighbours marks the final appearance of actress Eve Morey, whose contract was not renewed in a bid to reduce production costs?
- ALT5:... that Neighbours actress Eve Morey's contract was not renewed due to budget cuts, leading to her on-screen exit in "Episode 8052"?
- ALT6:... that actress Eve Morey was written out of the Australian soap opera Neighbours to help reduce production costs, and she made her exit in "Episode 8052"?
- The hooks sound nice, and going forward, my preferences would be a choice between ALTs 2, 4, and 5, leaving the final choice to the reviewer. The full review will follow. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:54, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
- Sorry for the delay, I had been very busy since I said I'd do this. Will try to finish this in a day or two. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 16:11, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay, but the article doesn't seem to have any issues at all, and meets the DYK requirements. A QPQ has been provided, and there was no close paraphrasing found. Approving for promotion, with a preference for either ALT2 or ALT4 (the choice will be left to the promoter). Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 06:19, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
