THE removalists are moving into Ramsay Street again.
Following Damien Bodie's decision to quit the show comes news that popular young performer Ben Nicholas is also hitting the road.
Nicholas has been with the long-running soap for more than three years, playing the character Stingray.
Nicholas will sign off next month -- a week after Bodie's departure -- to head to England for a pantomime before travelling.
Both actors will be seen on screen until earlier next year.
Their departure must raise questions about the future of Stephanie McIntosh's character, Sky. Both Nicholas and Bodie shared story lines with McIntosh's character.
McIntosh's contract expires in April and her departure to concentrate on her music career would come as no surprise. Her musical hopes suffered a blow after her haphazard performance on the Grand Final edition of The Footy Show last month.
While Bodie and Nicholas are moving on, David Hoflin, who has appeared on McLeod's Daughters and All Saints, is moving into Ramsay Street. Hoflin's character will fill the void left by the sudden departure of Christian Clark after only 12 weeks on the show.
