After captivating audiences for 37 years, Aussie soap opera Neighbours bowed out in spectacular style on Friday as several old faces returned to Ramsay Street to bid it farewell
After 37 years on our screens, Neighbours has closed out its final moments with emotional reunions, a joyful wedding and a nostalgic tribute to past and present stars.
Harold Bishop, reprised by Ian Smith for the closing episodes, tells Susan and her husband Karl they are the “last of the custodians” of the area and suggests she should write the introduction to their “History Of Ramsay Street” photo album. However, their time reminiscing does not go down well with Jane’s former partner Clive Gibbons who ends up in a drunken row wielding a lamp at Mike, saying: “See this lamp, this is me, it’s a bit old, a bit weathered and it might fail to turn Jane on but it doesn’t mean I can just be disregarded or traded in for some fancy new model.”
Among the star-studded line-up are a trio who went on to have chart success as singers after their time in Erinsborough: Delta Goodrem, who played Nina Tucker, Natalie Imbruglia, who was Beth Brennan and Holly Valance who played Felicity Scully. Mike also takes the plunge and tells Jane that he would like to buy a property on the street and give their relationship another go which makes her emotional.
