That’s a wrap.
By Meg Watson
That’s it! It’s a wrap. What a journey.
Thanks for joining us and the whole Erinsborough family tonight. It feels a bit weird knowing that this will be the last time we see will them on screen. Neighbours has just always ... been around.
Who knows, maybe we’ll get a reunion in 10 years’ time. Until then, we’ll leave you with our recap of tonight’s finale.

‘Scott and Charlene’s wedding lives on’
This, from Victorian Premier Dan Andrews, falls firmly into the ‘strange but true’ category...
Natalie Imbruglia: ‘End of an era’
Two of tonight’s old-timers have posted notes to Twitter following their return for the finale ...

Did it live up to our expectations?
By Meg Watson
After 37 years on the air, Australia’s longest-running drama has come to its end.
It was always going to be a mammoth task satisfying all the viewers this show has amassed over the years - those who stuck with it, and those who abandoned their broadcast TV sets years ago. But, with countless cameos and moments to pull on the heartstrings, it definitely gave it a good crack.
Let us know what you think in the comments and the poll below.
Susan Kennedy crushes Neighbours closer with Gus Gould style monologue
By Thomas Mitchell
Pack up the Logies, pack up the Globes, Emmys and Oscars too, and hand them all to Jackie Woodburne.
In her final scenes as the legendary Susan Kennedy, Woodburne delivered the kind of Neighbours eulogy that will live forever in the hearts and minds of people who love this show.
“Where do you begin with history, your own or those who came before you?” asked Susan, walking through her cul-de-sac in slow motion.
“The Ramsays, the Robinsons – the stories from those early days are legendary, and their legacy still lives on today.
“There have been many families over the years, all shapes and sizes, friends who became like family, whether they were related or not.
“Love has been the centre of things; how many romances were born on this street?”
Susan’s one-woman show then highlighted the magnetic power of Ramsay Street, pointing out that no matter how far people roam, you can never (EVER) escape Ramsay Street.
“The street always has a way of bringing people back, and I think of the people who can’t come back, gone too soon,” she says.
“How would they look if they were still alive today, allowed to reach their potential? So many people were lost.”
What will we do without you, Susan? And you too, Karl.
Susan scans around and sees the haunting memories of those who passed away. I mean, it wouldn’t be a Neighbours finale without a few ghosts, so if you had “Ghost of Madge Bishop” on your bingo card, then congratulations.
But she’s not finished yet, although my box of Kleenex is.
“I think you have to acknowledge everything, celebrate it all, the good, the bad, that makes us who we are,” she says.
“Everyone deserves a place in the history of Ramsay Street, even those who watched us from afar.
“Together, we have been the perfect blend.”
And what a final line from Susan. Well played, Neighbours. They simply don’t make TV like this anymore.
Um.. what was going on with Kylie?
By Meg Watson
That’s it! We’re done. And by my count, Kylie Minogue said five words this entire episode. “Home sweet home”, “Jane” and “Harold”.
Did they pay her by the word?
She said more in her perfume ad that played every ad break.
Is Charlene OK?
Jane and Mike are official!
By Meg Watson
Mike (Guy Pearce) has confessed his extremely obvious love for Jane, and decided to buy a house on Ramsay Street with zero time for the proper inspections.
“Jane you were the first person I wanted to see when I came back here,” he said. “The reality is I’m still in love with you - probably more now than I used to be.
“I realise it’s a bit much, but if I was here, we could take things slow and just see how it goes.”
Apologies to the 10 per cent of readers who did not want them to get back together in our poll.
Star-studded Zoom call brings back Delta Goodrem and Margot Robbie
Neighbours have pulled out the big guns in an effort to convince Toadie to stay on Ramsay Street.
The return of Margot Robbie and Co. had big early-era pandemic vibes, with some of Neighbours’ most famous faces jumping on a Zoom call to wish Toadie a happy wedding day (and guilt him into staying on the same cul-de-sac he’s been stuck on for nearly 30 years).
“Have an amazing wedding day, Toadie, I love you so much,” said Robbie, reprising her role of Donna Freedman.

Presumably, Erinsborough is running on 5G because the connection was flawless as Delta Goodrem joined the call, alongside Carla Bonner, Natalie Imbruglia, Holly Valance and Blair McDonough.
Delta Goodrem jumped on the star studded Zoom call.
And it turns out the power of celebrity (and uh, long-lost friends) worked a treat, with Toadie declaring he was staying put.
“I guess we’re staying,” said Toadie, possibly through tears.
Everyone’s staying in Erinsborough, I guess?
By Meg Watson
Paul’s big reunion with Terese means he’s staying in town! He’s sorted out the Lassiters contract with Shane, he says, despite it being a major plot point for the past eight episodes that had him stomping around Ramsay Street and screaming in people’s faces.
And ... that means everyone else has to as well, I guess! Everyone has abandoned their big, exciting plans to move to New York and chosen ~love~.
This is great news for Susan Kennedy, who will no longer wander the empty streets like a ghost haunted by her past.
