Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan return for Neighbours finale
Scott and Charlene are back as the Aussie soap's axed after more than 30 years
Last updated 3rd May 2022
Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan have returned to Ramsay Street to film the forthcoming final episode of Neighbours.
The pair are arguably the biggest stars to come out of the Aussie soap which is coming to an end after close to 40 years.
The show's producers, along with Kylie and Jason have shared a picture of the script on their social media, with the show's bosses describing Scott and Charlene's return as "emotional". It's believed the episode will air in the UK on 1st August 2022.
Neighbours' producers said it wouldn't feel right to end the show without them, posting on Twitter: '"Scott and Charlene are the ultimate Neighbours couple and it would not feel right to end the show without them
'We are thrilled that Jason and Kylie have come home to play a very special part in our series finale...'
They continued in the thread: 'It has been an emotional experience for them, for us and I'm sure it will be for our viewers." - Neighbours EP Jason Herbison.'
Scott and Charlene's wedding episode was watched by more than two million Australian viewers when it first aired in 1987, and later pulled in an audience of almost 20 million when it was shown in the UK in 1988. The ceremony became one of the most-watched TV moments of the decade.
After it was announced that the soap would be ceasing production, Jason said: "I think it's sad... but I think it's time to celebrate Neighbours." Kylie also said she will be "forever grateful" for her time on the show.
The soap also launched the careers of Hollywood stars such as Margot Robbie and Liam Hemsworth.
Now take a look at TV shows we wish would make a comeback:
SM:TV Live
Our Saturday mornings were made better with three hours of sketches, competitions and cartoons brought to us by a fresh-faced Cat Deeley and Ant and Dec. Remember the "Chums" sketch? Or Wonky Donkey!
Gladiators
Watching pro athletes battle contestants in an epic 'survival of the fittest' was awesome TV. Plus with characters named like Wolf, Storm and Pather, how could it lose?
Footballers' Wives
Broadcasting between 2002-2006, Footballers' Wives followed fictional Premier League football club Earls Park, as well as all of the drama from both the players and their fiery wives!
Friends
It's the question we've all been asking for the last 10 years, but in 2020 all six members of the Friends cast reunited! Thankfully we will get a fresh take on the series soon as the main six cast members are reuniting for a one-off special to look back at the show, although it's been postponed due to the Coronavirus.
Bad Girls
Set inside a fictional women's prison, Bad Girls aired on ITV between 1996-2006 and featured some very famous faces, including Claire King and Debra Stephenson.
The Bill
First broadcast in 1983, police drama The Bill certainly proved popular, airing until 2010. The show focused on the lives and work of police officers and starred well-known actors such as Trudie Goodwin, Graham Cole and Mark Wingett.
Sabrina the Teenage Witch
She was confident, funny, magical AND she had a talking cat. Sabrina made us all want to be a witch!
Ugly Betty
Believe it or not, it's been a massive 10 years since Ugly Betty last aired on our screens! The show, which featured actress America Ferrera, followed a character called Betty Suarez, who despite her lack of 'style', landed a job at a very prestigious fashion magazine.
Where The Heart Is
The British drama, which was filmed in the Yorkshire town of Skelthwaite, proved very popular with viewers between 1997-2006, showcasing the lives of a group of district nurses and their families.
It's a Knockout
It was stupid, it was crazy, but it was certainly fun! It's a Knockout started way back in 1966, but the show made a number of returns on BBC, Channel 4 and Channel 5!
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Although all episodes of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air are now on Netflix, we'd love to see Will Smith get back into his character alongside Carlton Banks.
Stars In Their Eyes
A true classic! Stars In Their Eyes, originally hosted by Leslie Crowther, first aired in 1990 with Matthew Kelly taking over in 1993. The show did make a return with Harry Hill in 2015, but it didn't quite take off!
The Queen's Nose
Who would have thought that rubbing a 50p coin would be so interesting? We used to love watching the adventures of Harmony as she used up her magic wishes.
Fun House
We used to love watching two schools battle each other in three rounds of madness. Bring back the gunge and Pat Sharp's crazy hairstyles!
Grange Hill
Despite being at school all day, we loved to come home and watch other people be at school. Strange. But gripping story lines and relatable characters had us glued to our screens.
