Barely a month has gone by since beloved Aussie soap Neighbours ended its record-breaking run. And while cast member
Alan Fletcher, who played Dr Karl Kennedy for almost 28 years, ought to be kicking back with his feet up, he’s instead buzzing over a new career that should keep him busy for the next decade – at least!
