[@donnabradley3322]

So happy neighbours is back now

[@Craigy2818]

Tonight was hard, in the UK. Monday and no Neighbours. That soap was my favourite, out of all of them.

[@Andyc515]

Just watched the final episode it was teary as I started watching after school in the late 80s n 90s absolutely loved it still can't believe its over,it was amazing to see old characters from the early days back that was brilliant! Thank you Neighbours for fantastic years and great memories and emotional stories. You'll be sadly missed by millions 😪💔

[@khairunaastro8164]

one of my favourate soap drama when I was studying in England. for sure 5pm waiting infront of the tele since 1989 - 1996. End of 1996,going back for good to Brunei.

[@johnthompson3530]

Was strange this Monday to tune in but no Neighbours :( Great ending. Was really well done. Credit to the writers who after been told there would be no more shows, did a great job. I was disappointed with Kylie to be honest! However you know why Guy Pearce is a star!! Thank you for all the great memories.

[@paulnguyen8910]

Americans saw it in the L.A. & N.Y. markets in June 1991. 65 selected episodes were aired from the beginning to where Charlene left Ramsey Street (777). We don't know when the remaining ones will air, but we're six years behind Aussie airdates.

[@annebellette201]

Sad to see if end...thank you for sharing

[@jasbf6054]

I hope to find Rebekah Elmaloglou back again in Home and Away as a new character. Someone like Terese Willis. 💖

[@SiBanstead89]

Na…she needs to comeback as Sophie with Blake and takeover the Caravan site

[@patdavico1836]

Just lovely

[@jasonjones8178]

I remember her in hame and away

[@dazta6738]

2 types of people in this world. I like this woman. You guys are the other and it shows 😆

[@mikekaraoke]

With Scott + Charlene scene, in the car why did they play Especially for you?? As this was Scott/Charlene not Jason + Kylie lol They should of played Angry Anderson!

[@Andyc515]

Could of played the wedding song angry Anderson lol

[@cianog]

True

[@walkingthroughpixels]

They should have just played the sound of silence seems Kylie is obvious far too famous to speak in the soap that made her.

[@johnjarvis5269]

Miss you thank u

[@dermotspollen]

Such a down to earth cast. I'm sure we might see a few pop up in home and away now. Ryan Maloney was great but they all were

[@SuperMerchus]

What a lovely, kind, positive reply. I wish I could be that nice. 🏅 I should’ve left it at that but I just want to say ….. really quickly’ …….no one on neighbours or home and away can , or ever could act. 🫢😱🫥 Have a lovely day and keep being nice…😊

[@simcastpodvids]

I started watching Neighbours again mainly for Terese, great years she gave us after H & A. I also loved the Endgame story line and all that lead up to it. Channel 5 threw these people under the bus.

[@oiooi6460]

If they had stuck to the 80s and 90s ethos - everyday stories about everyday people, getting hugely talented new stars to play believable characters - instead of the woke garbage of recent times, it would have run forever.

[@metascrub285]

Yeah and bring back og characters like the first actual main character Danny Ramsay

[@schuppanvivian7445]

Benny Turland Aka Hendrix Greyson Here 😜

[@shaunhoward3166]

Why didn't Australia fit the bill and keep it on the Air???? Watching from New Zealand I feel it's sad Australia didn't fit the cash to keep it on the Air, channel 10 shocking decision! 💯😑😔

[@ykook7000]

Channel 5 England pulled the $$$ channel 10 had no choice in the end!!

[@wcrash9361]

The final episode of neighbours was very disappointing so many things we’re done so badly after all those years wanting Kylie back on the sit they finally get it there and give her four words to say what a wasted opportunity

[@Craigy2818]

I get the feeling that wasn't their fault. She's so famous, her agent likely demands she earns way too much money per line and they couldn't afford it.

[@jaynekittycat9252]

Thought the same thing. Shane hardly said a word.

[@walkingthroughpixels]

@@Craigy2818 maybe she could use her own mind and think, this is what made me the rich and famous person I now am, I can do this one for much less. Maybe nothing even.. Obviously not though because everyone is a greedy ****

[@mauricegelsumini3958]

Perfect 👍🥰💕 ending 😭

[@dtvfan24]

Sad to see end. Wonder when channel 5 will end home and away .

[@phillipkrelle5661]

Good all stories have an ending.

[@redd605]

I hope she doesn't go back to home and away.i what to see more of them doing uk /Australian, short drama series of between 1-20 episodes, like that Room series BBC 1 shows,

[@paulhand3223]

Devastated I love neighbours why couldn't it have been home and away

[@woolvesv]

😭😭😭😭😭

[@anidemjess5875]

I want a spin off to

[@pixiewolf01able]

why did Charlene/ kylie hardly say anything ? it was really awkward 😬

[@alwayslearning9272]

Some say they couldn't afford to pay her for a speaking role, others say it was she couldn't do an Aussie accent anymore, but who really knows?? 🤷 I heard her do an interview on the street with Jason Donovan and I think she could have spoken like Charlene still, bit of a mystery!?

[@Insp.CountMortisWinshipKlaw]

She has had so much botox that her lips could barely move. She just wasn't believable as a human being on screen.

[@chelleyd4020]

@@alwayslearning9272 prob couldn’t afford a speaking role, but you’d think she’d have done it for free seeing as she’s not short of a penny and it’s down to the show she got her fame

[@thinkingallowed7042]

@@alwayslearning9272 She did a voice over for a promo on a Sydney radio station about 3 years ago advertising some segment featuring her selection of music. She still has an Australian accent. Her pseudo English accent is completely fake and weak. The station was playing where I worked at the time so I couldn't escape it.

[@walkingthroughpixels]

Imagine the endless opportunitys, alien invasion, killer plagues, Mass terror attack, nuke, zombie apocalypse, earthquake, .... And they went for a crappy wedding.

How does nobody know that RE is related to judi dench it’s very common knowledge it’s on Wikipedia for starters

[@MsPinkwolf]

I didn't know. I don't spend all my time on Wikipedia for starters...

[@SiBanstead89]

plus wikipedia is open source and not everything is genuine

[@ingridpempeit1180]

GO WOKE GO BROKE

[@Matt_Chalice]

We just have to get rid of Home and Away and The Project, then Aussie TV will be normal again

[@KristiContemplates]

The characters got ridiculously narcissistic and highly unethical. That's why I stopped watching after being a regular fan since it started. My favourite characters were Aaron, David, Nate, and Therese 🤩

[@carolmaz8675]

Why did it end if it’s so popular?

[@MsPinkwolf]

Half of the budget came from Channel 5 UK and they decided to stop airing it (to British fans disgust).

[@MarthaMansbridge]

It’s not popular - that’s the problem - if it was it would attract good advertising revenue and wouldn’t have been cancelled

[@MsPinkwolf]

@@MarthaMansbridge it was one of channel 5s highest ratings.

[@Chris-ln6so]

It was popular in the UK, not as much as in the 80s and 90s on the BBC, but it was Channel 5’s second highest rated show. However, the UK was literally it’s only international market, so the majority of the budget came from Channel 5. That network decided it was too expensive, even with good ratings.

[@Guitar-qv6gu]

@@MarthaMansbridge it was popular. Channel 5 pulled their funding.

What on earth has Carl Kennedy done with his hair .

[@Guitar-qv6gu]

He’s got alopecia. He’s done nothing to his hair lol

[@mlk27743]

not to whinge - but Guy, Annie, Kylie, Jason (who are only a 3/4 yrs older than me.) look like their in their late 50's early 60's - they either didn't age well or the make up artist didn't bother to make them look good for this final episode.

[@kristiansven7022]

I can guarantee you don’t look better than Kylie

[@Guitar-qv6gu]

They can’t be made to look young if they are not young now lol

[@hefinrosser8685]

Oh the last episode was terrible! A last drawn attempt that it might be brought back! It was terrible!! If this is what the writers thought was a good finale it deserved to finish!!

[@jb00721]

Rebekah elmaloglou started in neighbours 2013… how is that more than ten years ago u fibbers lol

[@MarthaMansbridge]

That’s 10kg a year for her, it’s a good job it’s been cancelled otherwise she might explode

[@saskiamoni1417]

Liby and Billy why aren't they in the final

[@scottgc633]

They both appeared via a video message...

[@AustralianAffairs]

NEW SERIES UPDATE: Neighbours will be RETURNING; resigning with Amazon Freevee & Network Ten Australia. Due to popular Australian and global support, people have created hashtags, the people spoke and they wanted Neighbours to come back for more, and so its happening mid 2023. A legend returns and its people, it remains and we are thankful to those who are carrying it through into the future. 1985 - TO Present, their is no end date yet!! Well done to the fans, we love Neighbours; Fremante, Amazon Freevee and Network Ten!! And the cast/crew for returning!

[@paulsnow1289]

It ended because its ratings were rubbish. Just like the project 😂

[@Guitar-qv6gu]

Channel 5 pulled their funding actually. Loads of people watched it in Australia AND the UK.

[@paulsnow1289]

@@Guitar-qv6gu but here in Australia no-one was watching. I believe that the UK also had bad ratings for them to pull the pin.

@@paulsnow1289 just because you didn’t watch it it doesn’t mean that others in Australia didn’t watch it.

[@paulsnow1289]

@@Guitar-qv6gu stuff all did, It was only drawing 100k in ratings for Australia and 600k in the UK.

@@paulsnow1289 so what? The whole world lost the soak cos the UK pulled their funding. THAT IS WHY IT ENDED. Now quit cos you’re sounding like a broken record. Oh and a programme which gets ratings gets them cos of the VIEWERS.
