Things have become very complicated for Curtis! <\/p>
Curtis Perkins has finally got out of the classroom in Neighbours<\/a> and the character, played by hard of hearing actor Nathan Borg, is now front and centre in a storyline that has many twists and turns to play out.<\/p>\n Jesse Porter (Cameron Robbie) is Curtis\u2019 first love interest on the show, but while Curtis is happy getting to know him, he has no idea that his new beau has a secret agenda. Jesse is working to bring down Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) and Lassiters while maintaining a faux relationship with Harlow (Jemma Donovan).<\/p>\n Borg has been chatting to RadioTimes.com<\/a><\/strong> about the storyline, and what it was like for him to work so closely with two Neighbours icons.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s been 10 months now and yeah, it\u2019s good,\u201d Borg says of his time on the show so far, having joined in late 2020. \u201cI feel very lucky because at first I was only supposed to stay on for just eight weeks, and then I thought I was done. But they asked me to do more and I was happy to bring more of Curtis, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n And he is certainly taking a more prominent role in the soap, with Curtis now romantically linked to Jesse. But what Curtis doesn\u2019t know is that he is actually a spy who is plotting against several people in Erinsborough. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t know at all\u201d Borg says, adding that \u201cCurtis does get the real Jesse, in a way, but when he finds out the truth he is really hurt by it\u201d.<\/p> \u201cHe feels quite betrayed and very angry,\u201d Borg adds, while saying that the betrayal will allow viewers to see a new side to him. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be very interesting for the audience, because he is such a positive guy \u2013 it\u2019s going to be great to see him in this romantic light to then moving into a quite angry and physical one. That was so much fun to play and I was really happy with that. It\u2019s going to be great to see those different sides.\u201d<\/p>\n As for whether there could be a future for Curtis and Jesse when the dust settles, Borg is not offering any hints: \u201cWho knows! You\u2019ll have to wait and see!\u201d he teases.<\/p>\n Prior to this, Borg\u2019s scenes were primarily kept to Erinsborough High, but his role as a teacher did allow him to work closely with both Jackie Woodburne and Annie Jones (Susan Kennedy and Jane Harris) \u2013 and they proved to be quite the support for him when he was starting out.<\/p>\n \u201cThey were the main two people I really wanted to work with and I\u2019ve been really lucky,\u201d he says. \u201cJackie and Annie both give me advice and tips and they help me pave the way of finding where to take Curtis. I\u2019m so grateful to have them. To be able to go to them for advice about the character and to get the understanding of everything \u2013 I\u2019m really happy that I get to work with both of them.\u201d<\/p>\n Visit our dedicated <\/strong>Neighbours<\/strong><\/a> page for all the latest news, interviews and spoilers.
