The Bachelor’s Tim Robards joins the cast of Neighbours

Australia’s first star of The Bachelor, Tim Robards, is returning to Network Ten, this time as a cast member on long-running soap opera Neighbours.

Robards says his character has shades of Suits’ Harvey Specter

Robards’ return to television mimics that of Sam Frost, who after appearing on The Bachelor season two, and subsequently The Bachelorette season one, joined Seven’s Home and Away at the start of this year. 

Robards will join the cast of Neighbours from early October, playing Pierce Greyson, a wealthy investor “who has more on his mind than just making money”, Ten said.
