EastEnders and Home and Away have paid tribute to fellow long-running soap opera Neighbours, as the Australian soap airs its final ever episode in the UK tonight (July 29). After almost four decades and broadcasting a total of 8,903 episodes, the show is drawing to a close in what is sure to be an emotional conclusion for fans of the soap.
For 37 years, the residents of Ramsay Street have kept viewers entertained with plenty of drama, celebrity cameos and some unforgettable stories. But on Friday, July 29 the soap will air its final ever instalment with a double episode at 9pm on Channel 5 which will see the return of iconic characters such as Charlene (Kylie Minogue) and Scott (Jason Donovan).
Whilst many fans have been taking to Twitter to share their memories of the last 37 years, the Australian soap has also received heartfelt messages from fellow long-running dramas. Home and Away was the first to post on social media paying tribute to the "iconic" programme on July 28.
