Former Stars Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan Return For Australia's ... (Deadline)

Minogue and Donovan have shared a tantalising glimpse of a Neighbours script on Instagram, including the words 'Scott, Charlene'.

Although its production company Fremantle looked for another broadcaster, it was announced in March that the show would be finishing this summer after 37 years. 35 years later, both Minogue and Donovan have shared a tantalising glimpse of a Neighbours script on their social media platforms, including the words ‘Scott, Charlene’. The soap is filmed in a suburb of Melbourne, where Minogue recently returned to live after decades of making her home in London. The romance between Minogue and Donovan’s characters Scott Robinson and Charlene Mitchell back in the late 1980s contributed to the Melbourne-set show finding a huge audience overseas, particularly in the UK, where 20million tuned in for their 1987 TV wedding.

The duo reunited on stage in 2012 -- for the first time in over two decades -- when they sang the 1988 smash hit at a show in London.

Neighbours Spoilers – Ned Willis says goodbye to Erinsborough (Back to the Bay)

Next week on Neighbours in the UK, we're about to say goodbye to another favourite, as Ned leaves for a fresh start.

Levi moved on with Freya (Phoebe Roberts), meaning that once Amy had the time to focus on her relationships again, Ned had her all to himself. Amy is completely wiped after the disaster that was Fashion Week, but starts to think it’s not just the fashion event that’s tiring her out. A shellshocked Amy makes it clear to him that there’s no chance of them reconciling – their relationship is over! While the reunion was initially a success, Ned soon fell for Brad’s then girlfriend – now wife – Lauren (Kate Kendall), and it wasn’t long before he made a move on her. The polyamorous life wasn’t for him, and he eventually gave Amy an ultimatum – it was Levi or him. He’d been invited by his grandfather Doug Willis (Terence Donovan), who wanted to reunite Ned and Brad as they had been estranged for years.
