Neighbours

The Australian soap opera, which has aired nearly 9000 episodes, is drawing to a close, disappointing many fans who grew up watching the show.

“There’s going to be a lot of grief.” “I wanted to bring it back to a street with families — families of all different shapes and sizes,” he said. “Neighbours” also made headlines when it became one of the first English-speaking shows to resume filming during the pandemic. “‘Neighbours’ was just a TV show, they say,” Dew said. Make episodes longer for a start: The finale week has extended the usual 22-minute run time of each installment to 90 minutes. At that time, the world of “Neighbours” offered an antidote to the contentious impact of conservative, Thatcherite legislation in Britain, Carr said, which supported “do it yourself” economic policies that its opponents said widened inequality. Onscreen alumni over the years include a who’s who of Australians in Hollywood: Russell Crowe, Liam Hemsworth, Guy Pearce and Margot Robbie among them. It also offered a fantasy of what a classless world could look like, said Geoff Paine, who played Dr. Clive Gibbons on the soap opera for many years. “Neighbours” offered “a different, wildly positive vision of what a community could be,” Carr said. That made “Neighbours” one of the country’s most-watched shows, even though it usually lagged British rivals such as “EastEnders” and “Coronation Street.” The popularity of “Neighbours” over the decades is in part thanks to its consistency, said Richard Carr, a senior lecturer in history and politics at Anglia Ruskin University. The show had also benefited from depicting an amiable, wholesome vision of Australian life that did not bait controversy, he added. Thanks to the soap, Renshaw said, her daughter “can understand a little bit more about human behavior — what’s right and what’s wrong.

It's the show that's given some of Australia's biggest stars their on-screen break, but now neighbours is bowing out. Annie Kearney and James Vyver reports.

Australia's longest-running TV series wraps up tonight after nearly four decades of good times, bad times and often questionable neighbours.

In 1996 he made a triumphant return to the show. Airing in 1987, more than 2 million Australians tuned in to see a frilled-up Minogue walk down the aisle. Tonight’s finale will bring an end to a show that has been an iconic part of the Australian TV landscape since 1985.

After 37 years and 8903 episodes, Neighbours finally drew to a close. So where did Ramsay Street's residents end up?

After realising no one is in any of the houses, Charlene spots an open window and gets a mischievous look on her face. While there are shots of both sides looking at each other, they’re never in the same shot together. The four run towards each other for big bear hugs but it’s also obvious that Pearce wasn’t shooting the same day as Donovan and Minogue. While this is happening, the Kennedys are dealing with the fact they’re about to be the last Ramsay Street residents left standing. Mal is devastated and Karl and Susan do their best to not say “I told you so”. My years on Ramsay Street were some of the best of my entire life”. And you just know Robbie is talking about her time on the show. He follows her and they talk on a park bench about where it went wrong but also his fears that he will only hurt her again because he knows he’s a scoundrel. With that, they’re back together and the New York plans are off. He climbs out of a car at one point but that is the extent of his vehicular involvement. And the other are Jane and Mike’s own neuroses. Inspired by Mike’s attempts to reunite with Jane, things got real for Paul and Therese at Toadie’s wedding. As Jane Harris says towards the end of the Neighbours series finale: “Daring to dream I might recapture a time from the past.

Neighbours has come to an emotional end after more than three decades on Australian TV screens with one of the biggest series finales of all time.

and it turns out what they wanted was each other. Speaking of the wedding, the bride and groom raced down the aisle and couldn't wait to be married - and for once a Ramsay St wedding went off without a hitch. Clive confronted them, leaving Jane and Mike to really think about what they wanted after all these years...

Of course, Mike hadn’t just come back to check in on Sam. The draw of Jane was still strong. It had the much-anticipated return of Scott and Charlene ( Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue) to Ramsay Street, though precisely what they were doing there remained a bit of a mystery. Margot Robbie, Natalie Imbruglia, Holly Valance and Delta Goodrem were among those who beamed in from locales far from Erinsborough, too busy now to make it back to the place that birthed their careers – but few would begrudge them that. Pearce has spoken in the past about his bond with his sister, Tracey, who has an intellectual disability. There was a return to old ways for some. As send-offs go, the finale of Neighbours – which was actually three episodes mashed into one – had pretty much everything fans could ask for.

Now all that's left is to give Jackie Woodburne every award ever, and to fight over which closing credits are the best. As Susan said at the end, as the camera panned out of the wedding party on the street, "I think you have to acknowledge everything, the good and the bad, because all of that makes us who we are." On the one hand, I mean, they seem to really love each other, if close up shots of smouldering looks are anything to go by (and they are). Fans have been divided on the will-they-won't-they reunion of Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) and Therese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou). With that out of the way, Harold Bishop (Ian Smith) asked Susan to write the introduction to the Ramsay Street book – of course she is the narrator we never knew we needed. He was back in town to check on his daughter, but couldn't pass up a tour of Ramsay Street from his old flame, Jane (Annie Jones), who somehow had all the keys and definitely looks gorgeous with or without her glasses and always has.

Former Neighbours actor Craig McLachlan has paid tribute to the long-running Aussie soap after being snubbed from the final episode.

“Henry was, and continues to be, an all-time Neighbours favourite, a character Craig loves to this day. Hope you get a kick out of it,” he wrote. “Do you know, I got the call to join the show way back in 1986. “Craig was not invited to take part in the closing episode or indeed to contribute in any way to the end of Neighbours.

It paid tribute to every era,” one fan wrote. Another simply said: “Chookas for the future, and thanks for the memories.” “Blowing the budget with some CGI on the confetti is the reason they couldn’t afford to give Kylie any lines,” one Twitter user joked. “CGI takes the cake,” another mused as the episode came to its end. “Is it the COVID, or am I just a massive sook?” “So, to summarise, the Neighbours finale: everyone was leaving Ramsay Street and now everyone’s staying?”

Hollywood didn't beckon for all residents of Ramsay Street. Some of them went on surprising career paths instead.

Ritters joined the show when she was eight and left when she was 15. Since 2015, she has lived in Berlin, working as a reporter and anchor for Deutsche Welle, most recently covering the Ukrainian war. He was Charles Widmore on Lost. He was the vice-president on 24. He was on The West Wing, and Ugly Betty, and NCIS, and CSI, and JAG. He was even in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Dale has perhaps the best-furrowed field of any Neighbours actor. A decade ago, he was also a YouTuber; he uploaded a video where an alien welcomes you to the Galactic Federation of Light. He took the show to court.

On Seven, Home ad Away had an average of 429,000 viewers for its first two episodes before the show’s third episode had 346,000 viewers. Afterwards, the NRL coverage of the Manly- Warringah Sea Eagles (sans the 7 players who stood down over the LGBTQIA+ jersey) playing the Sydney Roosters had 354,000 viewers. Their performances were pitch perfect, and their reunion with Scott (Jason Donovan) and Charlene (Kylie Minogue) was pop perfection. The episode was simulcast across 10 and 10 Peach, which means all 10 Peach numbers were attributed to Channel 10. It was an end of an era on 10 as Neighbours ended with a bang and not a whimper by finishing its historic 37-year run as the top program of the night with 873,000 viewers.

The Australian’s investigations reporter Sharri Markson targeted Daniel over several days, including reporting that the former foreign correspondent had signed an open letter which referred to Israel as an “apartheid regime”. “The Liberal party has no one to blame but itself for preselecting such a divisive figure,” she said. I would suggest that my former colleagues in the press could also reflect on their own behaviour.” Despite his attempts to drum up interest for the exposé, a total of 85,000 people tuned in on Tuesday night at 8pm. Deeming “thinks laws permitting abortion are ‘terrible’ and wants trans kids to be forced to affirm their biological sex,” O’Brien wrote. But so excited was the former Liberal party adviser he hired a mobile billboard and had it drive around the ABC’s Ultimo headquarters.
