Neighbours star Alan Fletcher, who plays Karl Kennedy, chats to Digital Spy ahead of the show's finale.

So as soon as Neighbours ends, I launch my EP here in Australia. Then I jump over to the UK and do a couple of gigs in London. Then, in September, I come back and do the Dr Karl tour as well as playing some music.

All we've been focusing on is that the show is finishing now, and that's all we can do about it. "There was a time when Karl wasn't doctoring, and he got himself a job as a pharmaceutical rep. "But the good thing is, Neighbours doesn't end when it ends. Izzy came back later, of course, in a kind of reprise of the story, to try and convince Karl to have another child with her.

Unfortunately, TV doesn't quite work like that. So that robbed us of the finances to make the show. We are very, very grateful for the support that they gave the show, but there was a feeling that things might be changing.
