'Cancelled' star lashes out at Neighbours (NEWS.com.au)

Actor Craig McLachlan has blamed “cancel culture” for being snubbed from the Neighbours finale after sexual assault charges against him were dropped.

“Henry was, and continues to be, an all-time Neighbours favourite, a character Craig loves to this day. In 2020, the father-of-one was cleared of seven charges of assault and indecent assault brought on four women he worked with in 2014 on the Australian production of The Rocky Horror Show. Former Ramsay Street star Craig McLachlan has slammed Neighbours creators for succumbing to “cancel culture” after he was snubbed from the long-awaited finale episode.

Births, deaths, fires and a naked lunch: Fans remember their ... (ABC News)

After 37 years and thousands of episodes, there's a lot to remember from Ramsay Street.

I have lived here for 21 years, and I think that at a subconscious level Neighbours played a role in shaping my life choices and priorities in a way that led me to a life down under." "I remember watching the first episodes of Neighbours in the UK as a kid. But seeing Alan swanning around in a c**ksock at the first cold August shoot studios in Nunawading will always be a fond memory." Neighbours was awash with smiling people in singlets, basking in warm weather, and looking gorgeous, as they navigated their trials and tribulations." Neighbours was how I kept sane, so much that I named my child Declan after the character!" "I remember watching Neighbours in the early 2000s because it was either on before or after The Simpson's with my parents and two younger sisters. Scott and Charlene's wedding was a massive culture event when it was broadcast in 1987. When I'm feeling nostalgic and wanting a good cry I'll still go on YouTube and watch that scene where it's counting down to her death. "My earliest memory is probably the Scully family moving into Number 26 in 1999. I wonder where those babies are now?" My family to this day talk about it." That is my best and favourite memory.

How to Host the Ultimate Neighbours Finale Party (Den of Geek)

Give our Aussie pals the send-off they deserve by following this step-by-step guide to throwing the Neighbours-themed party of Bouncer's dreams.

And obviously, an egg and spoon race, in which all the eggs are hand-painted with the face of your favourite character (Harold, make them all Harold.) You’ll remember from childhood that all the best parties start at 1.30pm (preferably on the toadstool seats at a branch of McDonald’s). The party hearty will want to begin then, for the traditional ‘off sick/school summer holiday’ Neighbours time slot. (Would make a great couple’s costume with Strangled Paul Robinson, which is the same as normal Paul Robinson but quieter/more purple.) Consider also making his nemesis/best frenemy Lou Carpenter out of Rice Crispies and melted marshmallows, with glinting liquorice wheels for his lustful eyes. If you’d do it for Eurovision, then my god man, do it for Ramsay Street. On Friday the 29th of July (Thursday the 28th in Australia), open your home and your heart and pour one out for the Erinsborough crew. You’ll want traditional Aussie fare: lamingtons, lollies meaning sweets, a fruit pavlova, vegemite sangers, and a towering Great British Bake-Off-style showstopper centrepiece representing Harold himself. - The Duck Kerry Bishop Died Protecting You’ll need: a beak, two wings, feathers and a stab of guilt for the pain you’ve occasioned in this world. - Mrs Mangel You’ll need: a blouse, a string of pearls, a golden Labrador, a viciously judgmental streak and the hair of Kramer from Seinfeld. What snacks to prepare, or decorations to rustle up? For 37 years, they’ve been trapped in a washing machine cycle set to stress (intense soil). Kidnappings, drownings, deadly rivalries, adultery, murder, Karl Kennedy… They’ve each had to stand in line and take their turn burning down the Lassiters Complex, getting amnesia and marrying Paul Robinson, and why? But how to go about it? What’s the playlist and the dress code?

Neighbours set to be a tear-jerker as 49 alumni return for finale (The New Daily)

Australia's longest-running soap will end with the return of 49 Neighbours alumni including Margot Robbie, Delta Goodrem, Kylie Minogue and Guy Pearce.

Bassingthwaighte played Izzy Hoyland from 2003 to 2006 and was nominated for a Gold Logie Award for Most Popular Personality and a Silver Logie Award for Most Popular Actress in 2006. He played Mike Young from 1985 to 1989, and went on to star in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, L.A. Confidential and Memento before returning to familiar territory in 2012 playing the lead role in Jack Irish. Their 1987 wedding attracted a worldwide audience of 20 million and she became the first person to win four Logies in one year, and was the youngest recipient of the Gold Logie as the country’s Most Popular Television Performer. She went on to release multiple albums, and even made a return to TV in 2017 with House Husbands, followed by her lead role playing Olivia Newton-John in the biopic Olivia Newton-John: Hopelessly Devoted to You in 2018. Delta Goodrem arrived on Ramsay Street in 2002 as the shy student, Nina Tucker, and went on to become one of the country’s most successful singer/songwriters, not to mention TV judge on The Voice Australia. The program first aired in 1985 and followed the lives of those living and working in the fictional Melbourne suburb of Erinsborough.

After nearly 40 years, Australian soap Neighbours is preparing to air its final episodes. Goodrem has previously paid tribute to the show, saying on Instagram its cancellation was "truly the end of an era". A launching pad for the likes of Russell Crowe, Margot Robbie and the Hemsworth brothers, several former famous cast members have been confirmed to make appearances before Ramsay St residents close their doors for good.

It’s too much to expect that after the show takes its last breath tonight, it’ll re-emerge in a few years with an improbable tale of hidden survival. And when it was absolutely beyond time to go to bed, I wondered: What have I been doing with my life for 30 years? Shane Ramsay has returned, having made his fortune in crypto and doing what anyone would do in his situation – trying to buy Lassiters. Paul owns it. (I’ve borrowed that last part from Clive who, on Monday, identified his hungry ego as the reason he’d been failing to fend off the attention of another woman when he was supposed to be emotionally faithful to Plain Jane, who’s got enough on her plate, grappling with her adult son’s career choice as a sex worker.) So good that I did something unfathomable to 1980s viewers: I binged. However, I feel duty bound to care about everyone when the final credits roll, so I tuned back in, starting with the episode that aired last Thursday. Good lord.
