Neighbours biggest stars Stefan Dennis and Jackie Woodburne have joined a chorus of actors from the beloved soap blasting the Logie Awards for its lacklustre tribute to the show at this year's ceremony.
Stefan, who portrayed Paul Robinson on the Channel Ten series, said he was furious after a skimpy montage of the show was shown at the awards after it had been on-air for an impressive 37 years.
'For it to get a tribute of 40 seconds, f**k off,' he said in an interview with the Herald Sun.
