As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news about our beloved neighbors, Tim Robards and April Rose Pengily! They’ve graced our screens once again, this time in an unexpected and chilling reunion in the Australian horror flick titled Drax. Buckle up for a suspenseful ride that’s sure to keep you on the edge of your seat!
In a reprise of their roles as a married duo from the lengthy daytime drama, they portray two sweethearts out on a romantic rendezvous that takes a turn for the worse when they come across an unfathomable power.
The scene is a warm welcome back for Neighbours fans, as they reunite after saying goodbye to the character of businessman Pierce Greyson, played by Tim, who decided to leave the series in 2020.
As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but boast about the movie that’s been capturing my heart recently – it’s none other than Drax, masterfully crafted by the talented Australian director, James Demitri. This cinematic gem is currently making its grand rounds on the festival circuit, and I can’t wait for more people to witness its brilliance!
Tim mentioned that him and April had a great time in a distinctly new setting while filming together once more, and he added that it felt like they were speaking in a typical American accent.
He chuckled and said, “It felt oddly familiar yet completely new. I get to portray an unapologetic character, which adds a fun twist, and it seems to come naturally!
Apart from expressing her delight about the reunion, April mentioned that she had known director James since her modeling career began, and considering her close collaboration with Tim during ‘Neighbours’, where they were married, it was truly enjoyable to catch up with them both on the film set.
Working with familiar faces makes communication more effortless and allows for immediate productivity, bypassing the uncomfortable phase of building rapport.
Filmed in neon-lit Sydney, Drax is described as a contemporary spin on the vampire genre.
As a devoted admirer, I’d like to share my take on the captivating narrative. This story revolves around an artistic, disheartened vampire character named Drax, brilliantly portrayed by David Charlie, who finds himself drawn into the life of a vibrant young skater named Marcus, skillfully played by Finn Middleton.
The movie features other notable performances by Emily Teede and Tatjana Marjanovic from Australia, along with brief appearances by Matt Levett, Alex Pychtin, Tomi Grainger, and Monique Simone.
Demitri stated in a press release that for him, Drax delves into the issue of who truly is the monster once the mask is removed. It delves into the topic of regrets and how they linger, influencing us and eventually becoming an integral part of our identity.
April and Tim acted alongside each other on the TV show “Neighbours” between 2018 and 2020. At first, they portrayed romantic partners on screen, and later, their characters got married in December 2019.
Despite initially appearing strong, their relationship started to falter around the year 2020, as themes of loss, deceit, and separation emerged within it.



By the end of that year, the couple had separated, bringing their on-screen romance to an end.
Shortly after, Tim stepped away from the soap.
Originally, he joined as a temporary guest character in 2018. However, due to his growing popularity, the role evolved from being a temporary one into a permanent one.
Tim is married to Anna Heinrich.
The couple share two daughters – Elle, three, Ruby, one.
Anna and Tim met on the 2013 season of The Bachelor.
