On 3 December 2013, it was announced that Glockner was to leave Neighbours. The actor stated that since Mason's introduction, he had been "the catalyst for a remarkable amount of storyline" and after a discussion with the producers, they all felt the character should be rested. Glockner continued "I've been involved in so much high-intensity story in such a short space of time – coming up just shy of a thousand scenes in one year!" Glockner told a TV Week reporter that he needed a creative rest, but did not rule out a return to Neighbours. The actor added that he had had "the time of my life." In January 2014, a reporter for news.com.au stated Mason would leave to pursue a new job. Glockner's last scenes as Mason were broadcast on 28 February 2014.
