Neighbours reveals full line-up to join Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan for last episode

Neighbours have persuaded some of the soap's best loved characters to join Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan for the last ever episode.

The full line-up includes stars from each of the four decades that the soap has been running.

Representing the show's iconic roots in the 1980s alongside Kylie and Jason - returning as Charlene and Scott Robinson, are Mark Little, 62, Joe Mangle, Paul Keane, 64, who played Des Clarke, and Peter O’Brien as Shane Ramsay, 62.

Ian Smith, 83, will also be back as Harold Bishop - who has previously had high profile storylines including amnesia, illness and grief.

Daniel MacPherson, 42, will be back as Joel Samuels to represent the 1990s era alongside Melissa Bell, 49, who played Scott and Paul Robinson’s little sister Lucy, Benjamin McNair, the Kennedy’s eldest son Mal and Lesley Baker, 78, who played Toadie Rebecchi’s mum.

Natalie Bassingthwaighte, 46, who played Izzy Hoyland, is back to represent the 00s alongside Paul Robinson’s two children Elle and Andrew, played by Pippa Black, 39, and Jordan Patrick Smith, 32, Toadie’s son Callum, played by Morgan Baker, 24 and Chris Milligan, 33, who plays the hunky hunky Kyle Canning.

While Olympia Valance, 29, popular Paige Smith, James Mason, 32, who played Chris Pappas for five years from 2010, and Jodi Gordon, 37, school teacher Elly Conway, are returning from the 2020s era.

Elsewhere, Zoe Cramond, 37, who played Paul Robinson’s eldest child Amy Williams and Kate Kendall, 48, Lou Carpenter’s daughter Lauren Turner will also be back.

Actor Ben Hall, 29, who played Ned Willis and Olivia Junkeer, 23, who played Yashvi Rebecchi, complete the line-up.

The return of the long running soap's biggest names comes after Channel 5 pulled the plug on funding for the show and no other broadcaster stepped up to foot the bill for British viewers who are the main audience.

A fan petition to save Neighbours attracted over 66,000 signatures, yet the end remains on the horizon.
