Home and Away will go off air from Friday November 24 and be away from screens for six weeks until Monday January 8.

Meanwhile, we've got Neighbours for a smidgen longer as it will stay on air until Friday December 1 before returning on Monday January 8.

But as ever, Neighbours will head into the festive season with a bang, leaving viewers desperate for more.

Olympia Valance, who plays Paige, told Metro.co.uk: "There are some HUGE storylines coming.

"There's a big storyline happening at the end of this season, and next year. The season finale is huge."


And Piper actress Mavournee Hazel added: "It's so exciting for us because it's huge. There are things for both of us that's coming up.

"There so much drama, it really is unmissable."

With rumours flying round that Olympia is quitting the soap, could this be her big exit?

And Piper and Tyler are also on the rocks. They're due to split up next week after Tyler's dad, Hamish, sets Piper up and gives Tyler fake proof that his girlfriend has been cheating on him.

Will they really end the relationship they fought so hard for? And could it lead to BIG things for the Christmas finale if they do?
