It was revealed by Leslie Dayman, who played George Sullivan for the entire run of "E Street", in an interview for the "E Street tribute site", that the cast had just returned to filming, signed new contracts, and production was expected to end in May 1993. However further negotiations apparently broke down, and within two weeks, "E Street" was over. Creator and executive producer Forrest Redlich explained on the 2007 DVD release, "Mr Bad's Revenge Part 2", that the cancellation was more due to creative differences and the direction the network wanted to take the show, than falling viewing figures. Redlich revealed Network Ten wanted to relocate the studio production of "E Street" from Sydney to Melbourne, which would have caused many on-screen continuity issues, as well as creating unsustainable logistical problems for the entire cast and crew. Furthermore, Ten wanted to re-format "E Street" into five half-hour episodes, stripped Monday to Friday, the same as how the series was airing in Britain. With no extra money for relocation set-up costs, or for what amounted to an extra half-hour of "E Street" material per week, Redlich decided immediately to call time on the residents of Westside.
