After 37 years of broadcasting plenty of soap drama to our screens, Neighbours has revealed it has ceased production and filmed its final scenes. Taking to social media on June 10, the soap shared a picture of the cast on their last day on set with Alan Fletcher and Jackie Woodburne, who play Dr Karl and Susan Kennedy, holding the final clapperboard.
For fans of the hit Australian programme, it's the news they never wanted to hear. Since the announcement was made more than 68k have signed a petition in the hopes of saving the soap, but unfortunately after the plug was pulled earlier this year, it was only a matter of time before filming came to a close.
"We all knew this day was coming but until we were here in this moment when the very last scene was filmed," Executive Producer Jason Herbison said filming the final scenes. "It was hard to express how we would all feel. 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.
