As long-running soap Neighbours airs its final episode across British screens tonight, a number of acting stars, who have featured on the show over its almost four decades of broadcasting, will be returning to Ramsay Street for one final time. It's sure to be an emotional watch for UK fans of the Australian soap, after more than 60k fans signed a petition in a bid to save the soap from being axed.
The antepenultimate episode will air in the usual time slots of 1:45pm and 6pm on Channel 5 on Friday, July 29 with a double-episode finale being broadcast in a prime time slot later that evening from 9pm. Executive Producer Jason Herbison said on the last day of filming in June that "tears were shed" and that the soap's "legacy" will live on.
“We all knew this day was coming but until we were here in this moment when the very last scene was filmed, it was hard to express how we would all feel," He said: "Of course, it is sad and tears were shed, but we’re also enormously proud. 37 years is an incredible achievement and that should be celebrated.
