Only just over 5 weeks to go and a couple of big storylines have been resolved so classic characters should start returning soon. Nothing advertised as yet though. Jane's son appears in next few days and is apparently easy on the eye for those so inclined.

Neighbours has been around longer than Home & Away.
Neighbours is set in Melbourne and Home *&Away in Sydney's Northern Beaches.
What has evolved out each soap- like so many before them and yet to follow- is they are a launching pad for up and coming talent and hopefuls at the risk of pushing older and more experienced actors to the sides in terms of the story lines, or they become supporting characters.

Yep the older cast seem to stay but the younger ones move on or are more interchangeable as there was always another babe or hunk to be bought in. Hollyoaks was similar like this when I used to watch it.

Christine Stephen-Daly who people might recall from Casualty, The Bill and Cutting It in 2000's rocked up in today's episode as a bored housewife using the Gigolo services of Jane's son. I thought I recognised her watching it and when I saw name at the end it clicked. Christine is Australian so must have moved back home.
Harold returns on Weds, Joe Mangel and Izzy appear next week I've read.

I know it's daytime viewing and all that, but it would've been much more fun if Clive was actually one of the clients of Jane's hooker son. Missed opportunity for mischief!

I don't know how Clive fits in with Jane's son's clientelle but it would have been funny. But Jane is one of my all time favourite Neighours characters so to do that to her would have been nasty. I think Jane's son only does female clients but he could be theoretically be gay as his sister is.

I think Jane's son only does female clients but he could be theoretically be gay as his sister is. Clive and Sheila were notoriously adventurous in the bedroom, much to her grandkids' horror, so Clive would be well up for a bit of group action or bringing in an escort to spice things up. Byron would do anything for cash it seems, and the fact that Jane thinks he's angelic means she's set for major disappointment on all fronts. |

I cannot recall Clive and Sheila being adventurous in the bedroom but Sheila would have been up for fun in her youth. Clive used to run a kissogram agency or worked for one way back when he was first in Neighbours so that might tie in somehow. Clive could be up for fun but I'd assume Jane would be horrified at a threesome and they have done that story a couple of times in last year alone.
The Kennedy's used to have their "dressing up box" which came out occasionally and provided a lot of humour down the years.

These photos filled my heart with so much joy this morning. The overalls are back!

Is it the angle she has been photographed or do Kylie's eyes look different?

Finale day! Genuinely sad. My mum's sad too, she's watched since the first episode. I can't wait to see Scott and Charlene!

I’ve seen the finale and I think most people will be happy.

A very sad day for all Neighbours fans. I’ve been watching for about the last 20 years and it’s just been getting better all the time. Such a shame it’s finishing. I’ve been following them on Twitter where they have shared behind the scenes videos and chats with the old and current cast. I’m hoping for some kind of revival in the not too distant future.

It's been great to see some of the old faces return. I think it'll do very for Channel 5 tonight.

I can’t believe the final day is here! The episodes over the last couple of weeks have been great so at least it’s going out on a high. Lovely to see some of the older characters returning and slipping in well with the existing characters/ storylines.
Enjoy the finale tonight anyone watching 😊

To think the whole 32 year arc of Neighbours was the love story Jane & Mike.

Absolutely perfect. Me and Mum cried, it was so well written. All the cameos! Was Kylie being paid by the word, I think she only said "Harold!".

Best ending to a soap ever. Guy Pearce stole the show for me. Proper Hollywood star. No phoning it in from him. I miss it already.

Natalie Imbruglia and Holly Vallance's cameos were quite good considering their characters never met in the show. I think it was filmed in Holland Park as both of them live in London.

I don’t think I’ve watched it properly since the late 90s, but I’ve really enjoyed seeing the past few weeks on catch-up. Forget Scott and Charlene, Jane and Mike reuniting was lovely. Nice way of wrapping the series up.

It was such a good decision to make the finale about Mike and Jane's story, and full props to Guy Pearce for not forgetting where he came from and delivering some of the best work of his career, Annie Jones was magnificent too.
