"We were very fortunate that we got to be on a hit show and not be on it for 10 years. I can't imagine Year 7 being the glory year of a teen soap," he says. He thinks the show's demise was due to stories that moved too quickly ("On other shows, they don't let people kiss for years") and an overreliance on the clever, self-knowing jokes...
