Quote: Former Neighbours star Darius Perkins has died after a fight with cancer.
His family confirmed the 54-year-old died on Wednesday.
Mr Perkins appeared as the original Scott Robinson in Neighbours in 1985 and starred in more than 50 episodes before Jason Donovan took over the part.
Mr Perkins went on to play Gary Samuels in Home And Away and also appeared in The Sullivans, Prisoner, A Country Practice and The Flying Doctors.
In 2013, he returned to Neighbours to play Marty Kranic - a shady associate of villain Paul Robinson (played by Stefan Dennis), who is the brother of his original Neighbours character - in a month-long guest role.
Mr Perkins won the 1984 Logie award for Best Juvenile Performance for his role in the series All The Rivers Run.
Mr Perkins was remembered on Saturday by former Neighbours co-star and close friend David Clencie as a great mate with a beautiful soul.
“We had this incredible bond. We were mates to the very end,” Mr Clencie told The Herald Sun.
“He was completely selfless. We had a wonderful time when we last saw each other, spending five hours talking in a local restaurant.
“I am so sad, really devastated to lose my mate.”
A fan site dedicated to Jason Donovan tweeted: “Such sad news that #dariusperkins the original #ScottRobinson has died after battling cancer #RIP #Neighbours thoughts with all that knew him.”
Another fan wrote: “Genuinely sad to hear about the death of Darius Perkins. I actually preferred his version of Scott Robinson in Neighbours to Jason Donovan’s. Condolences to all who knew him.”

There is a story behind this, google Hutt River Principality. One of those quirky Australianisms that only we can produce. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principality_of_Hutt_RiverI met Prince Leonard and Princess Shirley in 2007 while driving around the country. I had my passport stamped, bought lunch, stamps and currency at his post office and general store, he personally walked me around the various buildings in his middle of nowhere country. He was immensely proud of his "country", and took the time to tell every visitor his story. https://www.news.com.au/national/hutt-river-provinces-prince-leonard-has-died-from-emphysema-at-the-age-of-93/news-story/a70db262bd9c95ae33e432b32ca5152cA piece of odd Australian history has died today, good luck Prince Leonard
