Neighbours: The Finale, Channel 5, review: I wept my way through ... (iNews)

As stars returned to the soap that made them famous, Ramsay Street prepared to shut down for good.

“Everyone deserves a place in the history of Ramsay Street, even those who watched us from afar. “My years living on Ramsay Street were honestly some of the best in my entire life,” gushed Margot Robbie’s Donna, while Delta Goodrem aka Nina promised she was “with you wholeheartedly in spirit”. “It certainly feels like the end of an era,” sighed Harold, as he asked Karl (Alan Fletcher) and Susan (Jackie Woodburne) to be custodians of the Ramsay Street history book that the neighbours were compiling. Kylie, in fact, uttered precisely four words, “Home, sweet home,” and “Harold!” – and the duo mainly spent their time giggling performatively like slightly unconvincing extras in a play. Clive (Geoff Paine) tried to drown his sorrows after suspecting that his girlfriend Jane (Annie Jones) still had feelings for her recently-returned old flame Mike (a show-stealing, gorgeously invested turn from Emmy-winner Guy Pearce). Stumbling home from the bar, Clive happened upon Jane giving Mike a cosy tour of the street. It was a bittersweet reminder of all the delightful absurdity we’re going to miss now that Neighbours has finally signed off after 37 years.

Neighbours' executive producer Jason Herbison has set the record straight over missing footage in the UK edit of the soap's finale episode.

He added: "As you can imagine, with so much story at play, there was a lot of material left on the floor. Neighbours' finale episode was a huge hit on both sides of the world, with Australia's airing topping the 1 million mark for the first time in 13 years. However, when [Australian channel] Network 10 made the decision to run 90-minute episodes in the final week, we suddenly found ourselves with more screen time.

Neighbours: the finale – live (The Guardian)

How will the long-running soap end? Another plane crash? Meteor strike? Will the last 37 years' worth of plot have been a mere figment of Bouncer's ...

Perhaps that is down to reports that Margot Robbie sent over 37 bottles of champagne to the cast and crew for the final episode. There are so many references to the 80s golden age of Neighbours I can hardly keep up. I have no idea what is happening. And now it is time for Toadie and Melanie’s wedding! It seems like the cast are having a ball filming this though. They are now having to read their word out in front of everyone else.
