Neighbours' Final Bow After Decades on Ramsay Street
10 Dec
Summary
- The iconic Australian soap opera Neighbours has broadcast its final episode.
- The show was axed after its UK broadcaster dropped it, impacting its audience.
- Hundreds gathered in Melbourne to watch the last episode on a big screen.
The curtains have closed on the long-running Australian soap opera, Neighbours, with its final episode airing recently. Officially described as 'resting,' the dismantling of sets and actors finding new roles suggest a permanent farewell to Ramsay Street. This conclusion mirrors a previous 'farewell' in 2022 when the show was initially axed after a UK broadcaster dropped it.
This decision significantly impacted the show, which had found its largest audience in the United Kingdom. Hollywood stars Margot Robbie and Guy Pearce, alongside original fan favorites Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan, made appearances during the show's conclusion, drawing attention back to the fictional suburb of Erinsborough.
In a poignant display of fan dedication, hundreds of people braved a cold Melbourne night to watch the final episode unfold on a public screen in Federation Square. The event underscored the show's deep cultural resonance, with media outlets also providing extensive coverage, including live blogs.
