UK soap Eastenders had two characters move to Australia in today’s episode. As a tribute to Neighbours they featured songs by Neighbours actors turned singers.
This clip features Stefan Dennis in the background singing Don’t It Make You Feel Good. This was followed by Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan and Holly Valance.
Synopses for the final week of Neighbours
Monday 8 December
The residents put their differences aside to help the Varga-Murphys. Holly risks it all to save a friend. The Linwell saga comes to a head.
Tuesday 9 December
Krista makes a shock announcement. Holly suffers a devastating blow. Paul tries to mend things with Terese.
Thursday 11 December
Will Jane and Clint find their way back to each other? Familiar faces come home. What will happen to Ramsay Street?
Bizarrely, Jason Donovan is guest-starring on Emmerdale next Thursday -the final day of Neighbours.
No episode on Wednesday?
No, A double eill be on Thursday instead. They couldnt do the double on Wednesday due to Amazon.
I did mention elsewhere, i wouldve aired a special on Monday then ran the show without interruptions Tues to Thursday
I think they should just air Wednesday and Thursday as usual at 4pm and just have the special late screening too.
Agreed. No where near enough interest for changes to the schedule and a prime time airing.
I think they should’ve had an episode on Wednesday and on Thursday have a full one-hour episode, rather than two episodes stuck together.
Edit: Two episodes stuck together is an insult to the show.
The Unmissable Neighbours Finale. Thursday, 11 December At 8:40pm On 10.
After four decades of love and friendship, betrayal and scandal, captivating characters and unexpected plots twists, the iconic Australian drama series Neighbours, is gearing up for its final episode, and Ramsay Street is anything but quiet.
On Thursday, 11 December at 8.40pm, the cul-de-sac clash between Shane Ramsay (Peter O’Brien) and Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) comes to a head, as their competing developments have the neighbourhood abuzz.
And while many residents are swept up in glossy tours and grand promises, not everyone is ready to let go. Standing firm as the voice of resistance, Susan (Jackie Woodburne) is determined to preserve the heart and history of the street she loves.
As familiar faces return, and long-time friends reunite to celebrate the legacy of Ramsay Street, emotions run high and loyalties are tested.
It’s an unmissable finale that promises a heartfelt farewell to the beloved characters and unforgettable moments that have defined Neighbours for generations.

10s promo of 15 seconds couldn’t be more bland if they tried.
It’s a hard one - re the promotion of it all.
One side, I’m very disappointed in TEN for not promoting the final weeks or doing much during the Amazon Era…
However,
I do get them not pushing it. It’s already “ended” once. They put so much promo into the 2022 finale and gave it a good send-off primetime, and it paid off in the ratings…
This was always going to kinda happen with the inevitable ending of the Amazon era… It may have come quicker than expected, but the show is always going to go out with a whimper after the pretty stellar 2022 series finale.
Exact same thoughts
I’m not sure but I think I’m actually more sad about it ending this time than I was last time. I have a new job where I finish work at 4 so I’ve been able to get home and watch the last 15-20 minutes and it was more just to watch like a car crash where I couldn’t turn away but lately things have been really good with some of the story lines and I realised I had been sucked in - which hasn’t happened since the House of Trouser era and the mid-2000s with all the school kids and Karl and Izzy etc…
I didn’t like the storyline suddenly appearing about the imminent demolition of Ramsay Street but it is actually a pretty good one for giving a finality for everyone and for them to be selling off all the bits of history at the op shops and tearing down the studios etc… Having such a full on ending ends all the hope of “I hope someone else picks it up” and means that it truly is the end of the era. I can still remember when the Kennedy’s moved in and so they still feel new but I guess they’ve been round long enough to have a well earned recognition of their parts.
On another note, I wonder how Ian Smith (Harold) is going with his cancer treatment where the prognosis wasn’t good but the last reports seemed more positive. I would also have liked to have seen something with Tom Oliver (Lou Carpenter) at some point because he was such an integral part of the show for so many years too and with his character but I guess he probably wanted to retire to the quiet life so I hope he’s going ok.
Lou Carpenter could have come in as a recently graduated psychologist. He could have been talking to Paul in a session and ask some bizarre questions like “do you like going to the toilet?” (a line from his role on Kingswood Country).
But seriously I also hope Tom is doing well, I also hope Ian Bishop is doing well too
Harold Bishop aka Ian Smith……I like that you combined his real name and character name there 
Emmerdale is set to air an (unintentional) Neighbours tribute on the day of its (second) last-ever episode, as Jason Donovan rocks up in the village to give a special performance at the Woolpack
