Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan ‘set for emotional farewell in Neighbours finale’

OHMYGOSSIP — Neighbours’ final ever scene is expected to see the emotional return of original castmates Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan.
An hour-long special of the soap is set to end with the pair, propelled to global fame after their stints as Charlene and Scott Robinson in the show, making a comeback more than 30 years after they left Erinsborough.
The pair turn to each other on Ramsay Street before declaring they are “home” in a farewell episode to be shown on Channel 5 on August 1.
Kylie, 54, last appeared on the show in July 1988, while 54-year-old Jason stayed until May 1989.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Everyone is gutted the show is coming to an end but they are determined to go out on a high.
“Kylie and Jason have such strong ties to the series they didn’t even think twice about returning. The final scene will make fans well up.”
Scott and Charlene’s wedding has become an iconic moment on the soap after it was watched by 20 million viewers in the UK in 1988.
Speaking about her time on the show, which started in 1985, Kylie said: “I will be forever grateful for the experience.”
Jason added: “I think we should be grateful for what it’s given Australia, it’s given actors, producers, writers, directors.”
It emerged in March that ‘Neighbours’ was being cancelled after producers Fremantle Media failed to find a buyer for future episodes.
A Fremantle spokesperson said at the time: “It is with sadness that after nearly 37 years and almost 9,000 episodes broadcast, we are confirming that ‘Neighbours’ will cease production in the summer. Following the loss of a key broadcast partner in the UK, and despite a search for alternative funding, we currently have no option but to rest the show.”
The soap began in 1985 and has also launched the careers of many other stars, including Holly Valance, Margot Robbie and Guy Pearce.
