Australian soap opera Neighbours has blessed our screens for 37 years since its debut in 1985 – making stars of the likes of Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan in the process.
But all good things must come to an end – and Neighbours will soon be vanishing from our screens for good, following the soap’s axing.
It’s not quite over yet though – just when is the show coming to an end?
Here’s what we know…
When is Neighbours ending?
While it has been revealed that production will conclude in June, fans of the show haven’t been given an exact finale date just yet.
The date of the final episode should be announced in the next few weeks – but it’s likely the last ever instalments will air over the summer.
Why is Neighbours ending?
On March 3, the official Neighbours Twitter account announced that the show would be coming to an end.
In a tweet, they said: ‘We are so sorry to say that after nearly 37 years and almost 9000 episodes broadcast we have to confirm that Neighbours will cease production in June.
‘Following the loss of our key broadcast partner in the UK and despite an extensive search for alternative funding, we simply have no option but to rest the show.
‘To our amazing, loyal fans, we know this is a huge disappointment, as it is to all of us on the team. We thank you for all your messages and support and promise to end the show on an incredible high. From here on, we are celebrating Neighbours.’
