As fans this is a sad day for us, but what an incredibly sad day for the Australian television industry & the arts as a whole. To lose a training ground for actors, writers, directors, make up artists, all of the roles which help the cogs turn & continuous employment for so many.
Can’t believe
@neighbours
is entering it’s final week of filming. No doubt there will be post-production and other tasks to do after this week, but this is it. To all at Nunawading, thank you for being such good
#Neighbours
and for doing all you can to find the perfect end.
Thinking of everyone at Nunawading as they begin their final week of location scenes for
#Neighbours
. There’s still another week of studio scenes to go, but this is really it. Good luck all, bring her home.
#CelebratingNeighbours
Neighbours, everybody needs good
@neighbours
,
Thirty-seven years of filming,
Now it’s time for that to end.
To the cast and crew of Neighbours, thank you for your hard work and dedication, the show is the best it can be and will go out on top.
#CelebratingNeighbours
Let’s show our appreciation for the
#Neighbours
story team - the writers, Script Editors, Storyliners, Story Producers - all of these wonderful people who help plan and produce the wacky, the wonderful, the heartbreaking and the shocking
#UnmissableDrama

@AWG_1
Whatever the announcement and whatever happens in the future, there are still almost 9,000 episodes of
#Neighbours
that need a home somewhere and could still make someone some money and give us some enjoyment.
#SaveNeighbours
I know we’ve got a week to go, but I think we can safely say that no series has had a greater ending arc than
@Neighbours
- it will be 20 episodes of fan service and wrapping up, it’s been a bittersweet delight so far.

Picture it, Nunawading, 1986… “In 30 something years time we’re going to wrap this show up with Mrs Mangel’s Gigolo Great-Grandson and her Lesbian Great-Grandaughter who’s had a baby via turkey baster with Helen Daniels’ half-Japanese, Gay, killer, Great-Grandson.”
#Neighbours
If you haven’t watched
@neighbours
for a while, there’s time to tune back in. Whichever era was your era, there are familiar faces:
Clive Gibbons
Plain Jane Superbrain
Melanie (with the laugh)
Toadfish (Toadie)
Karl & Susan
Paul Robinson & (half brother) Glen
#SaveNeighbours
Finally, let’s show our appreciation to the incredibly talented
#Neighbours
cast - to be able to play high drama, comedy, tender moments and the everyday is a test for any actor, but to do that at the pace they do is a testament to their work ethic & skill.
#SaveNeighbours
Let’s show our appreciation for the
#Neighbours
Art Department, the Set Dressers & Designers and the Props Masters. The work they do often goes un-noticed, but would be it they didn’t do it, from the look of a set to food & drink in scenes…

Wow, incredible work Team
#Neighbours
, Number 1, a real show of love to our favourite
@Neighbours
. Now we just need to keep it up until midnight on Thursday evening.

ON THIS DAY | 25 Years Ago: The Kennedys moved into 28 Ramsay Street.
Huge congrats to Alan Fletcher & Jackie Woodburne for surviving Karl & Susan’s trials & tribulations plus all those teenagers!

🚨 Breaking News from Erinsborough! 🚨
Neighbours will return for a brand-new series next year exclusively on

, alongside thousands of episodes from previous seasons to stream as you please. 🎉
I can think of very few shows likely ending which would have this kind of impact across the UK and I don’t think any other International Show would.

Today, let’s show our appreciation for the
#Neighbours
Directors - those who prep how every scene should be shot & decide the edit. We’ve especially seen their hard work at play with new four walled sets, making our show look the best it’s ever been.
#SaveNeighbours
@ADGdirectors
#Neighbours
has given us much over the past 37 years of course entertainment, for some - opportunities, but as the internet has developed it has given us all exactly what has always been at its heart - a community - and now all of us must join together in

Is it just me or is Harlow’s reaction to being lost in the bush a little too calm for a Brit whose only experience of the bush led to her falling down a mineshaft and being bitten by a snake whilst the surrounding island burned?
#Neighbours
#UKPace
Was anyone else completely unprepared for the emotion of actually being in the final week? It’s Monday and we’ve not even had an episode yet.
#Neighbours
#CelebratingNeighbours
The Hendrix ep was a triumph. If you have to escalate a story that normally would’ve played over a much longer period, dedicating an episode is the way to go. Benny Turland &
@georgiestone16
were fantastic AGAIN. The supporting cast too, Alana should be on the street.
#UKPace
"But you see, if I'm honest, I came here for you as well"
BAWLING! 😭
Harold (and Ian) very much giving me a ghost of Christmas past/present/future vibes. Appearing like an apparition to help solve everyone's problems.
A total saint.
#Neighbours
Reading so many comments about how today’s
#Neighbours35
has brought comfort in these difficult times. Never underestimate the impact & importance of continuing drama, especially our soaps.
Is
#Neighbours
still on? You bet ya!
Is
@Neighbours
still relevant? More than ever!
The biggest mystery of this week is how did all of those people get in and out of Number 22 without Wendy Rodwell letting herself in to find out what was going on?

Neighbours has been axed by its UK network, Channel 5. We chat to Jackie Woodburne who plays Susan Kennedy, about how the cast are feeling after the news broke.
Let’s show our appreciation for the
#Neighbours
Publicity and Digital teams, those who spread the word, share teasers, promos and behind the scenes footage (no, that’s not just
@AprilRPengilly
)
#SaveNeighbours
The cheek of Australian tourism using Neighbours to promote the country during the final episodes but not coughing up cash to save it.

#CelebratingNeighbours
As viewers, we often shout up where something doesn’t quite pay off on screen, but it should work both ways.
Back in 1996, the
@neighbours
’ story team moved Toadie in with the Kennedys. 24 years later that decision is still paying off in spades...
Susan & Toadie today = ❤️💔😭
What if we would all download the original Neighbours theme from Barry Crocker on iTunes & Spotify and try to get it in the charts to show how much we love it! Maybe that could help to raise more attention to how much we love and need
@NeighboursTV
in our lives.
#saveneighbours
Today let’s show our appreciation for the
#Neighbours
camera operators, those who work with the Directors to frame and capture every shot, from multiple angles or multiple takes.
#SaveNeighbours
Let’s show our appreciation for the
#Producers
who oversee the day to day running of the machine that is
#Neighbours
& for Executive Producer
@jason_herbison
who has shown so much love for our favourite show, a gift to the role and one who keeps on giving.
#SaveNeighbours
Isn’t
@JulieEMullins1
doing a fantastic job of representing
@neighbours
over here in the UK? One of our favourite interviewees - and one who although she couldn’t due to other commitments the first time we asked, remembered that and happily agreed the next. Truly a good Neighbour
In the past two weeks we’ve gone from Karl Kennedy sh**ing in a bush to
#Neighbours
being nominated for a Daytime Emmy.
This is the journey of being a fan of
@neighbours
and we’re so lucky to be able to be back on this rollercoaster ride.
The voice memo is so sad and
@takayahonda
was spot on, David needed to be seen, it wouldn’t have been right to just have him found dead, he deserved that moment.
#Neighbours
Jackie Woodburne clearly relished the first scene of today’s episode - Susan was clearly NOT understanding again. I’m glad the Kennedys are getting some strong material in the lead up to the rest.
#Neighbours
#UKPace
Love how Susan’s spent 28 years hearing about Scott & Charlene from Helen, Madge, Harold & Paul, finally meets them and thinks ‘Nah, I’d rather go sit with Elly & Bea.’ Even Paul, Terese & David sacked them off…
#Neighbours
It’s time to show our appreciation for the
#Neighbours
Hair, Make-Up and Wardrobe departments who help make the cast look so good, well, even better… or sometimes purposely even worse. From day to day, to iconic weddings to disasters victims, you name it…
#SaveNeighbours
Whatever happens we have something to celebrate. 30th July marks 35 years since
@CowdenLucinda
burst onto our screens with Melanie’s iconic laugh and Jamie Clarke’s 35th Birthday - 35 years since

delivered him as Beverly without removing Daphne’s tights!

🎥Cameras started rolling this week on the set of
@NeighboursTV
. Approximately 450 cast, crew &associated businesses have resumed work on the next instalment of the revitalised series, which is set to delight a legion of fans locally & worldwide. 👏🏿👏🏽👋🏻 🔗
These celebs are fellow
@Neighbours
fans who aren’t ready to say goodbye. We know that the show will cease production in June, but if a new network recommissions it, 1.5 million of us will tune back in (including this lot!)

#CelebratingNeighbours
Thanku to everyone who watched our
@NeighboursTV
finalé and for all ur lovely words. I’m so glad to have been invited back to join the current cast & forever grateful for everything this show has given me. Of course I’m also very happy Jane & I found each other once again too! X
Aaron & Leo carrying David hit so hard the first time, largely because I just thought ‘They’re brothers now’ and that was it - it’s also probably the most traumatic sight in
#Neighbours
history.
Knowing
@Neighbours
is ending in Australia today is like watching it all in slow motion and those of us in the UK today are getting all the pain without the joy of the epic finale that comes tomorrow.
#Neighbours
#CelebratingNeighbours
Gripping.
Heartbreaking.
Heartwarming.
What do these words describe? Today’s
#UKPace
episode of
#Neighbours
. Best soap on TV and the lines between soap and drama continue to be blurred.
#SaveNeighbours
I forgot to mention Paul’s “darling boy” - so much history in ‘Darling’ and David has always felt like his favourite, maybe alongside Elle, but of all the kids David was the one who needed & wanted him most and Paul was such an ally to him early on.
#Neighbours
Glad that we still have
#Neighbours
on air until 1st August, after the Logies we all need to ramp up on
#CelebratingNeighbours
as the cast & crew deserve a lasting memory of the show that is fitting, not what they’ve been left with now.
@Neighbours
, we love you, bring it home!
Voting for the Logies reopens on June 24th - come on, let’s show Australia that
#Neighbours
is still on, it’s still relevant and that it has been and still is home to some of the best actors in the World. It’s not just an institution, it’s a star in the flag.
