Neighbours actor Alan Fletcher, who has appeared as legend Carl Kennedy for 28 years, has admitted that it was a "tough day" discovering that the soap is set to be axed this summer.
The popular Australian soap - which began in 1985 - is expected to end in August this year, just a few weeks before it would have celebrated it's milestone anniversary.
Fremantle Australia had been in conservations for weeks in January with Channel 5 in a bid to keep the show on air, but the British channel chose to stop airing the show.
