After 40 extraordinary years, Australia celebrates its longest-running and dearly loved soap, Neighbours
Happy 40th birthday!
https://www.nowtolove.com.au/enterta...r-anniversary/
It's a series woven into the fabric of Australia's identity, that has stolen the hearts of many across the world. But sadly, after 40 years, Neighbours has officially called it quits - again.
While it is incredibly bittersweet to farewell the iconic series, its 40th anniversary marks a huge milestone to be celebrated for the talent it has produced and the fans it has impacted.
TV WEEK speaks exclusively with Alan Fletcher and Jackie Woodburne - who play Dr Karl and Susan Kennedy - about how the news has affected them.
"The first time the show was cancelled it was utter devastation," Jackie, 69, recalls of the series initially getting the axe in 2021, before its surprise renewal in 2023. "The second time we were a bit more prepared - but it's still very sad for all of us."
Married couple Susan and Karl moved to Ramsay Street, Erinsborough in 1994, with the actors having appeared on our screens for 30 years and sharing a wide range of memorable storylines together - from poetic to downright ridiculous.
"Susan having a relationship with a Catholic priest and defrocking him - I really had to dig deep for that one," Jackie jokes. "I thought that might've been a bridge too far, but I got through it."
"For me, it was Susan's amnesia," Alan, 67, adds. "Jackie was presented with an enormous challenge where she had to play Susan as not remembering anything after the age of 16 but having to deal with the fact that she is apparently married. It was a delicate, sensitive story.
"It gave us an opportunity as Karl and Susan to almost fall back in love with each other again, which culminated in Karl and Susan renewing their vows and Susan remembering her original wedding vows at that ceremony. It was a very poignant, beautiful story."
Executive producer and former series writer Jason Herbison, 54, wants to ensure those storylines are remembered in a unique way in the celebratory final year of Neighbours.
"While nostalgia is always part of our celebration, this time around we wanted to tip our hat to the storytelling themes of the past four decades," Jason tells TV WEEK. "The big classic twists and turns that the viewers love."
Neighbours is not just known for its creative story arcs, but also for producing some of the country's biggest stars, with Alan declaring the series the 'best classroom for television'.
"We've worked with Margot Robbie, Kylie [Minogue], Jesse Spencer," Alan lists. "These people who have gone on to the world stage. But you've also got your Peter O'Briens and Ben Lawsons, who are working in every country doing great work."
Cast member Hannah Monson, who joined the cast as Nicolette Stone in 2023, was simply grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the ride.
"You don't often get to say that you've worked on a show that's run for 40 years," the 32-year-old explains. "I just feel lucky I got to jump in on the tail end."
As for what the cast will do come July, when filming ceases, Jackie for one is looking forward to reading more books, while Alan will be straight off to the UK and Ireland touring as a musician, his other passion! Meanwhile, Hannah hopes to be floating in the idyllic blue waters of Greece on a well-deserved holiday.
They all also happily declare that they have no intention of doing any 'reality gigs' any time soon.
"If they had a show called The Amazing Crawl, maybe," Alan teases, in reference to doing The Amazing Race.
"The Amazing Sit Down And Have A Cup Of Tea, I could do," Jackie jokes.
As for the iconic on-screen couple that have gone through many ups and downs, working together so closely for three decades has made them dear friends, not simply colleagues.
"This has been our happy place for a very, very long time," Alan says. "We've had each other to fall on for 30 years. We have a lot to do with each other's lives."
"We will miss the daily opportunities to insult each other," Jackie adds with a laugh.
Another thing they will deeply miss is the opportunity to connect with their fans around the world.
"I had a beautiful letter from a young man who genuinely said to me that Neighbours saved his life," Alan says. "He was suffering so much from mental illness until he saw what the characters were going through and he got help. That's just one story, and it's one of many."
"You're working on something that is a very, very important element in a lot of people's lives", Jackie says. "That needs to be treated with respect and care. It's an honour to have been a part of that."

Neighbours filming has wrapped on Ramsay Street (Pin Oak Court) for the final time, with the last ever scenes to be recorded in the Nunawading studios next Friday, 11th July. The last episodes will go to air around mid-December.
Metro.co.au article:
Neighbours filming wraps on Ramsay Street for the last time as star says ?farewell?
https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/04/neigh...o=newsnow-feed
It?s the end of an era ? Neighbours has filmed the last ever scenes on Ramsay Street today.
The fictional cul-de-sac has been at the centre of the drama for over 40 years, but today the cameras stopped rolling on the real life location that doubles as the famous homes.
Cast and crew gathered on Pin Oak Court in Vermont South, which is occupied by real residents who allow their houses to be used for exterior shots, for what is likely to be the final time.
This comes following Amazon Prime Video?s decision to pull the plug earlier this year, just two years on from announcing that they were reviving the Australian soap.
Executive producer Jason Herbison, who has overseen the show in both its formats over many years, still has hope that it can have a future.
In a statement he said: ?Audiences all around the world have loved and embraced Neighbours for four decades and we are very proud of the huge success over the last two years including often appearing as one of the top 10 titles in the UK and the show?s first ever Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Daytime Series in 2024.
?As this chapter closes, we appreciate and thank Amazon MGM Studios for all that they have done for Neighbours ? bringing this iconic and much-loved series to new audiences globally.?
Metro understands that the last ever scenes from the serial?s production base in Nunawading will be recorded on Friday, July 11 ? one week today.

On Instagram, show legend Annie Jones, who first appeared as Jane Harris in 1986, shared a photo of her in a car with Hannah Monson, who has played Nicolette Stone since the revival.
?On our way to Ramsay St for the LAST time,? she wrote.
Sara West, who joined as Cara Varga-Murphy in 2023, uploaded a similar picture with co-stars Naomi Rukavina and Riley Bryant, who play Cara?s wife Remi and their son JJ.
She cheekily edited Marley Williams, who plays their younger son Dex into the snap, writing: ?Last ride down to Ramsay St.?
Meanwhile, show icon Rebekah Elmaloglou was stood at the bottom of a gloomy Pin Oak Court, adding: ?Farewell Ramsay Street!? to her emotional shot.
The site has become somewhat of a tourist destination over the last four decades, with fans from around the world ? including myself ? making the pilgrimage.
Those who live in the court are bound by a contract that means they?re not allowed to do any cosmetic work to their properties without permission from producers. Now that cameras have stopped rolling, that could soon change.
Neighbours streams Monday to Thursday from 7am on Amazon Prime Video.
