Following the tear-jerking moment, fans took to social media to share their thoughts on Neighbours’ conclusion. One person wrote: “Have I watched neighbours in the last 20 years? No. Am I still watching the finale and getting emotional? Yes.”
Meanwhile, others questioned why the show was even ending. “How many people are watching Neighbours, I just keep asking why, why, why did it have to end?” Someone else agreed and said: "Why is Neighbours ending, don’t watch it any more but so many people love it, why"
Another person simply wrote: "You’ll be in my heart forever, Neighbours," accompanied by a heart emoji.
Perhaps summing up Neighbours as a whole, someone commented: "So many emotions, so many iconic scenes, brilliant cast....it was never just a soap, it was family, friends, comfort, nostalgia and feeling like home."
