There were many old faces in the Neighbours finale this week but there was one big one, with a big laugh, who was missed by fans of the Australian soap, which has come to an end after 37 years. Lou Carpenter aka actor Tom Oliver, who graced Ramsay Street for 28 years was missing from the action.
Lou, who was involved in storylines like the love triangle between him, Harold and Madge, a painkiller addiction and had the best laugh in soapland, departed the soap in 2016 when actor Oliver retired.
He didn't return in person for the finale, which saw Toadie and Mel get married, Scott and Charlene return and Mike and Jane reunite, but the show's makers did manage to include a nod to the veteran character in a different way.
