The series entered its final few months with an uncertain future, and following the poorly received 'werewolf' storyline, there was further unrest behind the scenes. Scott McRae, who'd played Jamie Newman for over a year, was publicly sacked after he criticised the werefolf storyline to the press. Another blow quickly followed when viewer favourite and a pivotal character from the very start, Reverend Bob Brown, was dramatically killed-off after Tony Martin quit the show due to a row over money. But despite winning "Most Popular Serial" in the 1992 Australian Logies, plus actors Bruce Samazan and Simon Baker (then known as Simon Baker-Denny) both winning their respective categories in 1992 and 1993, "E Street" was cancelled by Network Ten in March 1993.
