Neighbours fans have been left in tears as the Aussie soap has released the 'emotional' trailer for its final episode - which is set to air later this week. It was confirmed back in March that Neighbours would be ending after 37 years on our screens and 8903 episodes, leaving viewers devastated.
Despite valiant efforts from the show's fans to help save the soap, with more than 60,000 people signing a petition in a bid to stop it being axed, Channel 5 confirmed the air date for programme's final episode earlier this month. The antepenultimate episode will be broadcast in the usual time slots of 1:45pm and 6pm on Friday, July 29 with a final double episode special airing in the prime time slot of 9pm on the same evening.
Since the announcement that the soap opera, which first aired in 1985, would be ceasing production, it has been promised that the long-running drama would end on an 'incredible high'. Back in May, cast member Alan Fletcher, who plays Dr Karl Kennedy, posted a video on social media holding the final script and teased that the end would be "sensational".
