Mum and I had watched Neighbours here in Ireland for years and even when Mum's health went into decline last year, she would never miss an episode. Mum died last November and I have found it hard to sit and watch her favourite shows without her. This ending while absolutely beautifully made makes me miss Mum even more. It feels like so many endings but I guess there has always to be hope of new beginnings. Thank you to all the cast of Neighbours down through the years for always bringing so much pleasure to so many, in particular to Mum and me. Thank you for the memories and tears, the laughter and even at times, the frustrations. Most of all, thank you for being all of you. Till the next time........
Hi ... I lost my mum 15 years ago and it still hurts,neighbours was one of her shows,I Waa never able to watch it without tears,but I had to watch the last one,yes I cried yes I paused it but I watched it cause I know mum was here watching it with me.miss u mum xx
Well done Jackie, the only one who could have done that monologue. I was sad when their goodbye message came up. We love you too, and thank you to everyone who has been a part of the show. I was born in 1985 and can’t believe it’s been around my whole life
I was already crying but Susan’s monologue made me blub like an absolute baby! I still can’t believe it’s truly over. Neighbours started the year I was born and so has always been a part of my life and it feels like I’m in mourning right now, which sounds extreme but it’s always been there and I can’t believe it won’t be there anymore. I’m just glad everyone got their happy ending.
Me too, in mourning, it was a part of our lives, I remember going to school and being told not to be late as neighbours was on here at lunchtime. My parents have passed since 2 years now during covid pandemic. It was my mums favorite tv show. Dinner would be on the table, then we would sit and watch neighbours. Now that is gone too, good memories, sad but good memories.
I feel you. I’m in the UK. Not watched this show for years but it was a big part of my life when I was young. It is sad to see it go. I watched the final episode and it brought up the feels for sure.
I hadn't watched Neighbours for about 15 years, but once I realised it was the last week got a pang of nostalgia and watched the last week of episodes. It went out in a really classy way. You can tell how much love there is for it from former cast members that so many came back for the last episode, and many of those that couldn't be there in person gave little video clips. Guy Pearce even played a major role in the last 2 episodes. Hats off to him for giving so much time, I'm guessing they weren't paid, or if they were, just standard rates and/ or expenses. It was a pretty classy soap, and even though I'd stopped watching it, it is sad to see it go. It, along with Home and Away, were both great training grounds for up and coming actors. And it seemed totally fitting that Susan Kennedy gave the final monologue.
@@tylerkochman1007 Yeah, it certainly seems that way. Soaps are a great training ground for young actors, and those 2 aussie soaps seem to have a really high success rate when it comes to having good success after they've left. Guy Pearce actually had big roles in both Neighbours and Home and away.
After watching Neighbours since the very first episode, I was sad to find out it was ending. The last episode was fantastic. I was so emotional. Thanks to all at Neighbours for all your hard work over the years. You have left an amazing legacy 💔
I didn’t know how the final episode of Neighbours could live up to my expectations,but if anything you surpassed them. Well done to cast and crew for a wonderful 37 years . I watched this show from the very first episode , as a young teenager and now I watch the final episode as a 50 year old… gonna miss yea .
Beautiful final scene, her voice over speech was perfect , sad to see it end and awesome to see the classic old casts together again & how they merged all the theme tunes in the closing
before the episode even finished i actually said to my mum who i was watching the Finale with at the time that when it ends they need to go through all the old Theme tunes, when it reached the Credits i couldnt believe it actually happened
Look on the bright side: the past and present cast would never have assembled together if the show wasn't going. And you can watch classic clips anytime. The show is never really gone.
What a truly beautiful episode, so pleased to see so many old faces, some of whom are major A listers - but no egos. Should never have been cancelled. Thank you x
@@sithius99 HTF can u say that this was a good programme im 99.9% sure that the show in place of this will b complete and utter shite and that 1 might get axed much much faster than what neighbours did
Thank you for posting the full version of the ending. In the UK, Channel 5 sped up the credits for some reason so we didn't get to hear all the themes and they went too fast to read the names. They also omitted the final shot of the cast and crew. I'm glad it's included here because they all deserve to be in the final shot.
I dont know what version you watched. But i'm in th UK and watched it on channel 5. And it showed the entire credits including all the cast pics.wasnt sped up at all.was the same as in this video.
@@gavst79 Shall I admit both versions thanks to you tube! I watched Channel 5's version on catch up though and definitely before the end of the credits they had plastered other show advertisements up.. Glad it was a different experience watching it as it went out!
Not quite correct. The closing credits on the UK broadcast was just 35 seconds (Fremantle distributed a 35 second closing to all international markets). In Australia, the full 65 second theme played out (as seen here). 5’s broadcast didn’t contain Greg Hind’s 1992 theme, and it jumped back and forth to Janine Maunder’s 2002 theme twice 😂. The aerial street shot at the end of the episode is also different to the Australian version.
Seeing Doug was a brilliant surprise that I didn't know about. I started watching around 2005, hadn't missed an episode since. Thank you to all the wonderful memories you've given us.
To all the neighbours cast present, cast past and crew. You probably don't really know how much of an impact you've made on people's lives all around the world. I'm absolutely gutted that it has all come to an end. I wish you all the greatest luck for the future. I hope you all have or will find new adventures and jobs in your lives. Will always love your show. So much love to you all. Matt, Plymouth. UK. ❤️
The Madge Doug Hendrix and toadies wife as ghosts had me in floods of tears this is how you end an institution thank you neighbours for being in all of our lives you will be missed
Same for me. What an amazing touch putting them in the scene. When the ending message ("Thank you for loving us. We love you") came up I sobbed again. This programme meant a lot to me. I was never this moved or sad at the ending of other programmes I liked.
It would've been good if the actors who played Stingray, Ringo and Gary returned also as ghosts. Karl and Susan loved Ringo - he was their Hendrix, before Hendrix. Gary seeing his son and daughter in-law expecting their first child. And Stingray seeing his cousin Toadie happy with new wife Melanie.
Congratulations to every cast and crew member who has been part of the show over the years. Neighbours has been folklore and passes into soap legend. Goodbye and thankyou x
Still crying...Great finale. Thank you for 37 years of friendship. I started watching Neighbours from day 1, at 3 months old lol with my mum. I love you all so much 💗 I wish you all the best. I pray Neighbours returns one day - perhaps ch 5 will realise their error or another channel will pick it up again. (Andrea from the UK) xx
Brilliant ending, well done to the writers and the actors. Thank you for so many years of pleasure. Very sad that it is the end of an era; there will never be another 'Neighbours'.
I watched this show in the early 90s as a kid and it was a big part of my life at the time, thank you for the memories and giving us something fantastic to watch for so many years. We will miss you Neighbours
I watched it from the beginning as a teenager getting in from school. As a young adult I'd video it so I could watch it getting in from work. As a Mum I'd watch it whilst my baby napped, as an empty nester I'd catch it at lunchtime. And through covid it was a safe constant escape from the strange world and confusing times we were, and are, still living in. Thanks to all the cast and crew. I doubt I'll ever watch another programme for 36 years again!
I am so depressed that neighbours has finished. I love my daily visit to Australia. Thank you,cast,crew writers and everyone who worked on the show. I now await the reruns . Love to you all xx
An absolutely monumental finale! Perfect! I grew up watching neighbours in the 80s. We all used to chat about the cliff hanger endings in the classroom. These characters were part of my life for so many years. It was so emotional to see them all again. Well done! A magnificent send off!
When Susan said “I love you” to Karl and he said “ I love you too” you can tell that they were saying that to each other as Jackie and Alan as friends obviously , a great on screen relationship and off screen friendship. Goodbye neighbours thank you so much I will miss you .
I'm annoyed by it, is Jane really this dumb to break up a well developloped building relationship with Clive, to go back to someone that has hurt her dozens of times in the past
Yeah, Mike and Jane will be immortalised as the core of the show, and since that's the era in which I watched Neighbours I'm 100% cool with that. Kylie and Jason/Charlene and Scott, may have been the bigger stars, but Mike and Jane's story was arguably more compelling and memorable.
They didn't end it, Channel 5 pulling their funding did. Only a network willing to foot the bill can bring it back unless Neighbours is paid for by the Australian government.
Not ashamed to say I cried multiple times throughout the last ever episode of Neighbours. Such a beautiful way to end the show. So many memorable storylines and characters over the years. Thank you to all the cast and crew who made it so iconic.
Best written Finale to a show I’ve ever know. Thank you for everything, Neighbours has been my every day since I was tiny and for 29 years I have watched it and never missed an episode. I’ve cried for weeks overit coming to an end. Although I wish it weren’t the end, what a way to go out, it was just perfect. I still have hope it can come back. You all did yourselves proud and honoured the show that we have all loved for years. Thank you. ❤️💔❤️
I could picture myself watching at that age when she talked about each resident. Eventually the emotions boiled over and I burst out in reminiscent laughter. Thanks Jackie. Will miss you all.
As soon as I saw Kylie and Jason I was transported back to my youth 😢 Gonna miss my daily dose of goings on in Ramsay Street. Thank you Neighbours 🥂 #BeenThereSinceDayOne
The monologue and the show was beautiful. They ticked all the boxes and gave us a wonderful send off. Loved Mike and Jane taking us around the homes (hadn’t watched since about 2001 and didn’t recognise the new sets so it was nice they clarified whose home was whose). The whole thing was joyous. Thank you Neighbours.
Wow, this did bring tears. I have grown up with Neighbours and it is very sad to see it end. I am very sad to see it end but then All good things... Thank you for the great show.
Lovely final scene. When I was a kid in the 90s I watched the show after school and then when I went to university I watched the show during the day while taking study breaks. Good memories.
I have watch neighbours eith my mum as long as i can remember the last 14 year for me have been full of laughter and tears love you neighbours forever and always ❤️
Thank you for bringing us this iconic show, we are so fortunate to have had Neighbours for 37yrs not many shows last that... People saying they didn't see the point of Kylie and Jason being there, at least they returned to what started their careers. They didn't say nah we're better than that show so we won't return, they at least made the effort to return for the final... Thank you Kylie and Jason for reprising your rolls and being part of Neighbours final, you are both appreciated for making that effort not all big time stars would return to what made them famous in the first place...
I'm 50 I remember watching the first ever episode here in the u.k. ..I was off of school ill with tonsillitis and my sisters boyfriend at the time was looking after me ..that was it I was hooked like many others ...I hadn't watched neighbours in recent years I suppose like a lot of people you fall away from tv shows or you get older or life gets in the way ..but when I heard if was ending I had to watch to see what would happen ..It was so surreal seeing all those characters again ..des, jane, Charlene, scott ,mike to name a few ..it was just suprise after suprise of old faces ..a really great way to end a once loved and cherished show with millions of viewers every episode here in britan
AMAZING ending!.Everyone involved in making Neighbours and the finale should very proud of themselves. So sad it is all over, I seriously do not know what I'm going to do without Neighbours : ( . I really hope it comes back one day
Even as a 45 year old, I had to watch this. Neighbours was such a part of mine and my friends teens. Every evening after school it was Neighbours time, we’d all talk about it the next day. The only other sad thing I feel now is that I’m so old! We loved you Neighbours!
That's when good Neighbours... will always become good friends forever. My family used to watch this series, and for me... i love everything Australian-related when it comes to Ramsay St. and Neighbours. R.I.P Neighbours (1985-2022)
Thank you for being such a large part of my life for so many years growing up, particularly in the 80s and 90s heyday. Having lived in the Netherlands for many years, I haven't watched for a long time, but I'll treasure the memories. God bless cast and crew - past and present.
Neighbours has been around since I was born. It was my childhood. It brings back so many amazing memories. I really loved this show. So sad it has to be brought to an end. Thank you for the many, many years of your lovely programme. TV won't be the same without you. Genuinely upset that this has happened.
Aaaaaahhhhhhh! I’ve grown up with neighbours and although I stopped watching as I got older, it was an important memory of my childhood. What a lovely way to end it 💕
I’ve never seen this show at all, but as someone who’s watched soap operas all my life, this was a textbook-level perfect final scene. Congratulations to all the families and friends of Ramsay St. May you live on in our hearts as our forever Neighbours.
I started watching Neighbours with my Nana in the 80s, and watched all through the 90s even when I couldn’t watch with her. It’s been a while since I watched regularly (life, ‘ey?) but I couldn’t miss the finale for a nostalgic punch in the feels. Great to see so many people who “got their start” on the show return (I see you, Guy Pearce, ha bloody legend), but also I just really feel for all those who were currently working on the show and who now don’t have that work. You’ve all handled this with such class, and I applaud the way you wrapped this up not just for the fans but for yourselves. As someone who works with Jackie in the audio medium, I think the choice to have her deliver the final monologue was a stroke of genius, coz she’s just so damn good at it! She’s such a tremendous actor, and I can’t wait to be In the studio again with her. While it’s sad Neighbours has ended, y’all can be really proud that you turnt it - right to the very end. Go well.
Thank you for such a great way to end the show that brought me so much joy and happiness and feel safe during my teenage and young adulthood. Thank you to Stefan, Kylie, Jackie, Anne (all Annies), Guy, Alan, Ryan, Natalie, Rebecca, Daniel, April, Kate, Melanie, Tim Matt and many other cast for bringing the stories to life. Thanks to all the crew who worked on the show for making such great stories and memories. More importantly, thanks for allowing us to say goodbye to our childhood memories. Now lemme get the tissues...
Loved this. A mainstay of my 80s and 90s youth comes to an end in a touching and fun way. Shane! Clive! Madge! Scott and Charlene! Phillip Martin! A wonderful stroll down memory lane. Bravo!
When I visited Melbourne from the UK a few years ago I had the very lucky chance to visit the Neighbours set and walk around Ramsay Street - wow, watching this final episode made me cry so much!
I will forever be sad that something that has been constantly there for nearly my entire life, is now over, but as finales go, that was off the charts amazing. So many great memories from the show growing up, and to see how far so many that started on the show have gone too is very special to see. It would be great to see it back in some form in the future, but if it isn't then know I'd like to thank the cast & crew, both past & present, for being such a big part of my life. 😊 Apologies for the rogue years I was estranged from the show, but just like so many of the characters, I always seemed to find my way back to Ramsey Street again when life tried to take me on a different path! I look forward to seeing what everyone does going forward, too many great actors from the current cast that we aren't going to see many of them going onto great things elsewhere in the future.
Thank you Neighbours! We’ll miss you. You’re such a big hit in my family, and every single one of us got something out of the finale from over of the different decades! A beautiful conclusion
@@stuarthough8440 although we should have guessed it from the Twitter post when Kylie posted "now we're back together" with the picture of them both on Ramsey Street😂
Gosh, that was so perfectly written, so perfectly acted & very emotional. Such was the natural impact of Jackie Woodburne, fondly reminiscing & remembering all those who had lived in Ramsay Street, it really started to make you well up a touch. It was perhaps, the finest ever ending to a fabulous show. One that will be fondly remembered by so many - young & old. Farewell to all those cast members (past & present), who were a part of my childhood & my wife's favourite show. Good on ya. Fair dinkum!!
I cried at the start, half way through. But at the end when susan was talking i was crying like someone in my family had pasted. Been watching since mid 90s ish. Me and my mum talked about it alot. I am so sad its no more. 😭😭
I’m saddened that Neighbours has finished. So many fantastic memories and so many careers where launched thanks to the show. Rest in peace Neighbours you will never be forgotten
Things you may have missed in this scene: Joel's scenes were filmed totally separately as he is not seen interacting with any other character and is always seen standing alone. Mike and Scott/Charlene are not seen together in the same shot as the actors couldn't film on the same day. At the end you'll see Jane looking up at him on the balcony but he is far to the left to avoid being seen in the same shot as Scott and Charlene. In the same episode, it is made out that they are reintroduced and go for a hug but you don't see it. When the balloon bursts, you will see Harold on the ground looking up with the others, but when it bursts, he is back on the balcony! I need a life.
Well what an episode, ive sobbed all the way through, Susan made me cry the most, loved seeing Jane and Mike back together, but for me it was Jason donovan 😍 had posters of him on my wall as a kid, but seeing him in today's episode brought back so many of good memories. I'm gonna miss neighbours it's been part of my life from the beginning, we were always late back to class as we used to watch it in our lunch break at school 😂. #bring back neighbours!!!
Got to be honest haven't watched it for a few years, but had to watch the last episode,,Was balling remembering the first episode on bbc1 the family and friends we had ,Thank you Neighbour's ,it's certainly been a journey..
Still crying! Such a waste. It was going so strong. I hope people realise what they've lost now it's gone :( - Thank you EVERYONE and all the very best for the future. The perfect blend!
We all await Channel 5s new Homegrown talent show...coming up. allegedly however we, Australia should have came up with the money to subsidise the show. They weren't actually looking for a fortune in money reality terms.
A great way to wrap it all up. Had us rewinding when the adverts came on to try and name everyone that returned. Have watched since i was a kid and has been our dinnertime tv every night and recorded if we were out. Dont know how were going to fill the gap.
Thank you for a heartwarming finale, Susan's heartfelt monologue at the end brought tears as did seeing past and present characters come together. For everyone involved in Neighbours I wish you all happiness and good health.
Watching this again... since it was such an excellent finale. As an American I have watched too many finales of our long running soaps. None can compare to how this, even though sad, is basically a celebration . So from one of those watching from afar....Thanks Australia!
I watched it last night and was in tears,just watched it here and I'm away again...so brilliantly put together.and it was great to see my idol back where she started.
a really fitting way to finish 37 years of great Neighbours. I hope this won't be the last we see of our friendly friends. It was especially nice to see old faces as well. been watching since day 1, and always looked forward to switching on to somewhere warmer and drier than wet Wales. I think it was that plus great storylines that kept me watching all of these years. Thank-you Neighbours writers/cast/crew & production team for being a first for so many things, not least taking our minds off the pandemic that spread like wild fire around the world. you will all be sorely missed by millions. maybe think of streaming online rather than trying to get backing by other means. because you wouldn't have survived this long without what you created. I hope one day to visit Ramsey Street, and other venues, but when that will be I really don't know. so I hope to see you back on our screens before then!! 🙂
Going to miss you all so much, neighbours is the only soap I followed religiously. So sad to see the last episode but you did the fans proud. Love you all. ❤️❤️❤️
I can't believe it's really over. I'm 34 but since always watched this in the 90s as a child with my grandmother. She passed away 10 years ago but seeing this brought back so many good times. Thank you Neighbours. Love from Dublin, 🇮🇪
Thank you all cast and crew members. That was amazing and beautifully done. You've had me in tears on and off throughout this last week and the Finale kept it going. So many seen but not heard nods as in if you're a fan you knew...yes I saw you Jason Herbison you legend👏👏I was there from start to finish. Thank you for every minute and I really hope we get to see you all again soon.💔😭 🥰🥰🥰🥰😘
I watched this fantastic show during the heights of its glory days mid 90s to early 2000s, we lived for it everyday after school. We need old the episodes uploaded now. Thanks for all the memories
Wow. This was a great episode, very emotional, loved having the old cast back with the flash backs and the ones that past away on the show. This will definitely be missed ❤️
Neighbours ended in a very classy, reflective, emotional way, using the same reminiscing monologue that was used for the final episode of Falcon Crest many years ago, only Neighbours managed to do it even better than Falcon Crest did. They both used the matriarch to deliver to reflection (Jane Wyman and Jackie Woodburne) and while both were heartfelt and made me cry, Neighbours truly celebrated the past and present characters and it was touching to see the part with some of those who had died appear briefly (Madge, Doug, Hendrix, Sonia and Finn). Although I believe they could have at least shown a photo or video of Craig McLachlan, overall it was an amazing ending that felt true to the spirit and history of Neighbours. Now we need to urge the rights owners to continue the DVD releases, we particularly need a DVD release of the final batch of episodes with all the returning characters with the very emotional final episode included.
There were several people missing, not just Craig. And as Melanie's former boyfriend, I guess it wasn't a priority for him to be at her wedding. Some more "ghosts" would have been nice. Todd Landers for example. Or videos from Connor, Pam Willis, Brad Willis, Bronwyn, and so many others. It took me a couple of rewinds to recognize all the videos, especially Billy!
@@MsGrandunion They had Todd in the scrapbook which Izzy was reading. But I wanted to see Phoebe come back for the last episode with their daughter Hope.
@@MsGrandunion Craig McLachlan wanted to be in the finale but he was not allowed. He claims it was because of sexual assault charges that he was cleared of for the snub. Considering they didn't even show Henry at all in any photos, or flashbacks I would have to agree with him that they wanted to wipe him completely.
@@ianhirst1148 Totally agree. To not let appear in the final episode was bad enough but to have not acknowledged the character of Henry Ramsay in any way was disgraceful in my opinion.
Hi! It was a wonderful finale. The scrip writers should be really proud of themselves. What a wonderful way to integrate old characters. And I loved how Jackie finished everything off. I will miss this show tremendously, I’ve watched since the start. 👍🏻😃💜
It was right Jackie closed the series. She is one of Australia’s greatest actors. The backbone of neighbours for 28 years. Well done Jackie ! Xx
Technically the last words were Karl’s ‘toady watch out’
I agree. Must have been very hard for her.
Was she married to the Doctor Carl character??
Was that a new husband that came in for the booze??
irish actress.
@@jimbanda no thay was Dr carl he got alopeachea in real life and shaved off his hair..
Mum and I had watched Neighbours here in Ireland for years and even when Mum's health went into decline last year, she would never miss an episode. Mum died last November and I have found it hard to sit and watch her favourite shows without her. This ending while absolutely beautifully made makes me miss Mum even more. It feels like so many endings but I guess there has always to be hope of new beginnings. Thank you to all the cast of Neighbours down through the years for always bringing so much pleasure to so many, in particular to Mum and me. Thank you for the memories and tears, the laughter and even at times, the frustrations. Most of all, thank you for being all of you. Till the next time........
Your Mam is looking down on you Darragh with love and pride. So glad you both enjoyed watching Neighbours. It has brought so many of us happy memories
Hi ... I lost my mum 15 years ago and it still hurts,neighbours was one of her shows,I Waa never able to watch it without tears,but I had to watch the last one,yes I cried yes I paused it but I watched it cause I know mum was here watching it with me.miss u mum xx
And my mum two watched every day was her lunch time also passed 7 years ago i feel ya
Ahhh Darragh.. Sorry to hear about the death of your Mother. I will be thinking and praying for you xx
@@geraldinemurray585 thank you so much xx
It's bizarre that the show is back in literally 8 days and this endint still makes me cry lol
Same here Xx
I haven't watched Neighbours since the 80's. Just out of nostalgia I decided to have a look at this. I'm in tears now. Bugger you!!
Well done Jackie, the only one who could have done that monologue. I was sad when their goodbye message came up. We love you too, and thank you to everyone who has been a part of the show. I was born in 1985 and can’t believe it’s been around my whole life
The actress who plays Susan is a class act. The monologue at the end was the perfect way to end the show. Emotional for sure. Thanks Neighbours :-)
youre right!! it was perfect
Haven't watch it in over ten years, but have to admit the theme tunes and old photos got me just a tiny bit. The good old days of neighbours!
I was already crying but Susan’s monologue made me blub like an absolute baby! I still can’t believe it’s truly over. Neighbours started the year I was born and so has always been a part of my life and it feels like I’m in mourning right now, which sounds extreme but it’s always been there and I can’t believe it won’t be there anymore. I’m just glad everyone got their happy ending.
Seek medical help
@@JoeyTheBeastHD ..and I hope you do Joey
Me too, in mourning, it was a part of our lives, I remember going to school and being told not to be late as neighbours was on here at lunchtime. My parents have passed since 2 years now during covid pandemic. It was my mums favorite tv show. Dinner would be on the table, then we would sit and watch neighbours. Now that is gone too, good memories, sad but good memories.
Same, it started when I was born too 😪😪😪
I feel you. I’m in the UK. Not watched this show for years but it was a big part of my life when I was young. It is sad to see it go. I watched the final episode and it brought up the feels for sure.
I hadn't watched Neighbours for about 15 years, but once I realised it was the last week got a pang of nostalgia and watched the last week of episodes. It went out in a really classy way. You can tell how much love there is for it from former cast members that so many came back for the last episode, and many of those that couldn't be there in person gave little video clips. Guy Pearce even played a major role in the last 2 episodes. Hats off to him for giving so much time, I'm guessing they weren't paid, or if they were, just standard rates and/ or expenses.
It was a pretty classy soap, and even though I'd stopped watching it, it is sad to see it go. It, along with Home and Away, were both great training grounds for up and coming actors. And it seemed totally fitting that Susan Kennedy gave the final monologue.
Nearly. every Aussie celeb to breakthrough in the States in the last 30 years had appeared on Neighbours or Home and Away
@@tylerkochman1007 Yeah, it certainly seems that way. Soaps are a great training ground for young actors, and those 2 aussie soaps seem to have a really high success rate when it comes to having good success after they've left.
Guy Pearce actually had big roles in both Neighbours and Home and away.
I saw the very first one
Same here. Have not watched neighbours for over 20 years but had to tune in one last time.
Same since year 12 probably! Btw what happened to Carl he seems so different.
After watching Neighbours since the very first episode, I was sad to find out it was ending. The last episode was fantastic. I was so emotional. Thanks to all at Neighbours for all your hard work over the years. You have left an amazing legacy 💔
Me too :..
Cheer up.Its coming back
I didn’t know how the final episode of Neighbours could live up to my expectations,but if anything you surpassed them. Well done to cast and crew for a wonderful 37 years . I watched this show from the very first episode , as a young teenager and now I watch the final episode as a 50 year old… gonna miss yea .
I admit I hadn't watched Neighbours in years...or perhaps decades. But seeing this brought back so many memories. Oh, Lord...............
Beautiful final scene, her voice over speech was perfect , sad to see it end and awesome to see the classic old casts together again & how they merged all the theme tunes in the closing
before the episode even finished i actually said to my mum who i was watching the Finale with at the time that when it ends they need to go through all the old Theme tunes, when it reached the Credits i couldnt believe it actually happened
The perfect ending to a perfect blend. I feel like I'm mourning the loss of a loved one. It has been in my life ALL my life.
Look on the bright side: the past and present cast would never have assembled together if the show wasn't going. And you can watch classic clips anytime. The show is never really gone.
What a truly beautiful episode, so pleased to see so many old faces, some of whom are major A listers - but no egos. Should never have been cancelled. Thank you x
i cried when i saw hendrix
It was a racist show. I am glad black people bought the racism of the disgusting cast and producers to attention.
Hopefully now we get a diverse soap.
@@sithius99 HTF can u say that this was a good programme im 99.9% sure that the show in place of this will b complete and utter shite and that 1 might get axed much much faster than what neighbours did
I agree with you
Thank you for posting the full version of the ending. In the UK, Channel 5 sped up the credits for some reason so we didn't get to hear all the themes and they went too fast to read the names. They also omitted the final shot of the cast and crew. I'm glad it's included here because they all deserve to be in the final shot.
I know at the end it was as if Channel 5 couldn't wait to get rid of it, most disrespectful..
Damn that's so bad, considering they were the ones that effectively pulled the plug.
I dont know what version you watched. But i'm in th UK and watched it on channel 5.
And it showed the entire credits including all the cast pics.wasnt sped up at all.was the same as in this video.
@@gavst79 Shall I admit both versions thanks to you tube! I watched Channel 5's version on catch up though and definitely before the end of the credits they had plastered other show advertisements up.. Glad it was a different experience watching it as it went out!
Not quite correct. The closing credits on the UK broadcast was just 35 seconds (Fremantle distributed a 35 second closing to all international markets). In Australia, the full 65 second theme played out (as seen here).
5’s broadcast didn’t contain Greg Hind’s 1992 theme, and it jumped back and forth to Janine Maunder’s 2002 theme twice 😂. The aerial street shot at the end of the episode is also different to the Australian version.
Seeing Doug was a brilliant surprise that I didn't know about. I started watching around 2005, hadn't missed an episode since. Thank you to all the wonderful memories you've given us.
Which one is Doug?
@@travelwell6049 2:16 "the people gone too soon" he's played by Terrance Donovan and is Jason Donovan's dad
@@travelwell6049 Harlow Robinson is Scott Robinsons niece and she was played by Jemma Donovan who is Jason Donovan's daughter 😂
Where was Doug? I missed him!
@@MsGrandunion when Susan says "the people gone too soon"
I saw the show at the palladium, I couldn't stop crying it was so good !!!Fantastic
To all the neighbours cast present, cast past and crew. You probably don't really know how much of an impact you've made on people's lives all around the world. I'm absolutely gutted that it has all come to an end. I wish you all the greatest luck for the future. I hope you all have or will find new adventures and jobs in your lives. Will always love your show. So much love to you all. Matt, Plymouth. UK. ❤️
Hear, hear!
The Madge Doug Hendrix and toadies wife as ghosts had me in floods of tears this is how you end an institution thank you neighbours for being in all of our lives you will be missed
Same for me. What an amazing touch putting them in the scene. When the ending message ("Thank you for loving us. We love you") came up I sobbed again. This programme meant a lot to me. I was never this moved or sad at the ending of other programmes I liked.
It would've been good if the actors who played Stingray, Ringo and Gary returned also as ghosts. Karl and Susan loved Ringo - he was their Hendrix, before Hendrix. Gary seeing his son and daughter in-law expecting their first child. And Stingray seeing his cousin Toadie happy with new wife Melanie.
@@monalisasmile6629 Those are all great ideas.
@@kittymetal186 thank you 😊
@@monalisasmile6629 depends on if neighbours asked them or they would of agreed to come back
Congratulations to every cast and crew member who has been part of the show over the years. Neighbours has been folklore and passes into soap legend. Goodbye and thankyou x
Still crying...Great finale. Thank you for 37 years of friendship. I started watching Neighbours from day 1, at 3 months old lol with my mum. I love you all so much 💗 I wish you all the best. I pray Neighbours returns one day - perhaps ch 5 will realise their error or another channel will pick it up again. (Andrea from the UK) xx
Thank you for one the best programmes ever, you will be missed, neighbours.
Brilliant ending, well done to the writers and the actors. Thank you for so many years of pleasure. Very sad that it is the end of an era; there will never be another 'Neighbours'.
I watched this show in the early 90s as a kid and it was a big part of my life at the time, thank you for the memories and giving us something fantastic to watch for so many years. We will miss you Neighbours
I watched it from the beginning as a teenager getting in from school. As a young adult I'd video it so I could watch it getting in from work. As a Mum I'd watch it whilst my baby napped, as an empty nester I'd catch it at lunchtime. And through covid it was a safe constant escape from the strange world and confusing times we were, and are, still living in. Thanks to all the cast and crew. I doubt I'll ever watch another programme for 36 years again!
I am so depressed that neighbours has finished. I love my daily visit to Australia. Thank you,cast,crew writers and everyone who worked on the show. I now await the reruns . Love to you all xx
Thank you for visiting us Chris! 🇦🇺 xx
An absolutely monumental finale! Perfect! I grew up watching neighbours in the 80s. We all used to chat about the cliff hanger endings in the classroom. These characters were part of my life for so many years. It was so emotional to see them all again. Well done! A magnificent send off!
When Susan said “I love you” to Karl and he said “ I love you too” you can tell that they were saying that to each other as Jackie and Alan as friends obviously , a great on screen relationship and off screen friendship.
Goodbye neighbours thank you so much I will miss you .
Brilliant finale! Trending number 1 on Twitter. The Mike and Jane story was the best. Please reconsider - don't end it!
Never going to happen
I'm annoyed by it, is Jane really this dumb to break up a well developloped building relationship with Clive, to go back to someone that has hurt her dozens of times in the past
@@MarkWhich It was always Plain Jane & Mike
Yeah, Mike and Jane will be immortalised as the core of the show, and since that's the era in which I watched Neighbours I'm 100% cool with that. Kylie and Jason/Charlene and Scott, may have been the bigger stars, but Mike and Jane's story was arguably more compelling and memorable.
They didn't end it, Channel 5 pulling their funding did. Only a network willing to foot the bill can bring it back unless Neighbours is paid for by the Australian government.
Not ashamed to say I cried multiple times throughout the last ever episode of Neighbours. Such a beautiful way to end the show. So many memorable storylines and characters over the years. Thank you to all the cast and crew who made it so iconic.
So sad it’s over. Been watching since my nearly 36 year old son was a baby, my little bit of daily escapism and me time. Thanks for the memories ❤️🙏❤️
I'm also 36 and would watch this regularly with my mum. It was exactly that for us, a little bit of escapism to sunny Erinsborough for 30 mins a day.
Same. I was expecting my 1st daughter when it started in the UK. I can remember lying on the bed watching it 😥
@Nannie G I’ve got the finale saved on the Sky box and have already revisited once! Will dip in from time to time to get my fix. Missing it already 😢
Absolutely great final, gutted its the end, thank you all cast and crew for 37years
Best written Finale to a show I’ve ever know. Thank you for everything, Neighbours has been my every day since I was tiny and for 29 years I have watched it and never missed an episode. I’ve cried for weeks overit coming to an end. Although I wish it weren’t the end, what a way to go out, it was just perfect. I still have hope it can come back. You all did yourselves proud and honoured the show that we have all loved for years. Thank you. ❤️💔❤️
Haven't seen many finales then
I agree it was the best finale to a show 💜💜💜
@@WJC1981 troll
I could picture myself watching at that age when she talked about each resident. Eventually the emotions boiled over and I burst out in reminiscent laughter. Thanks Jackie. Will miss you all.
As soon as I saw Kylie and Jason I was transported back to my youth 😢 Gonna miss my daily dose of goings on in Ramsay Street.
Thank you Neighbours 🥂
#BeenThereSinceDayOne
It’s the end of an era. Neighbours really are good friends. 🇦🇺🤝🇬🇧
The union flag is gross
@@andrewjoyce9038 Good to know, now off you toddle...
Love neighbours always will. The best that ever was on
The monologue and the show was beautiful. They ticked all the boxes and gave us a wonderful send off. Loved Mike and Jane taking us around the homes (hadn’t watched since about 2001 and didn’t recognise the new sets so it was nice they clarified whose home was whose). The whole thing was joyous. Thank you Neighbours.
Mike was added in that scene via the wonderful tech. He wasn't really there.
Brilliant finale, so well written, so great to see so many cast past and present. Thank you and God Bless to you all.
Wow, this did bring tears. I have grown up with Neighbours and it is very sad to see it end. I am very sad to see it end but then All good things... Thank you for the great show.
Lovely final scene. When I was a kid in the 90s I watched the show after school and then when I went to university I watched the show during the day while taking study breaks. Good memories.
I have watch neighbours eith my mum as long as i can remember the last 14 year for me have been full of laughter and tears love you neighbours forever and always ❤️
Beautiful way to end, loved the Karl and Susan moments.
They nailed the final monologue perfectly, and the timing of the original theme was masterful.
I have not watched Neighbours for 30 years but this was a perfect ending to the show I loved in the 80's.... x
Great ending, seeing Sonya with the kids gave me a lump in my throat😢
Me to and I'm glad to see her with the kids and not with toadie as he is starting his new life.
sophie mcneill and seeing madge and doug but when i saw finn i gave him the finger
That was a very special moment! 💯😥
@@jayainsworth1949 you realise she's dead. Susan was just imaging how things could have been. Of course they are with Toadie.
@@MsPinkwolf Yes I think everyone understands that!
Thank you for the old memories and new smiles.
Thank you for bringing us this iconic show, we are so fortunate to have had Neighbours for 37yrs not many shows last that...
People saying they didn't see the point of Kylie and Jason being there, at least they returned to what started their careers. They didn't say nah we're better than that show so we won't return, they at least made the effort to return for the final... Thank you Kylie and Jason for reprising your rolls and being part of Neighbours final, you are both appreciated for making that effort not all big time stars would return to what made them famous in the first place...
I'm 50 I remember watching the first ever episode here in the u.k. ..I was off of school ill with tonsillitis and my sisters boyfriend at the time was looking after me ..that was it I was hooked like many others ...I hadn't watched neighbours in recent years I suppose like a lot of people you fall away from tv shows or you get older or life gets in the way ..but when I heard if was ending I had to watch to see what would happen ..It was so surreal seeing all those characters again ..des, jane, Charlene, scott ,mike to name a few ..it was just suprise after suprise of old faces ..a really great way to end a once loved and cherished show with millions of viewers every episode here in britan
AMAZING ending!.Everyone involved in making Neighbours and the finale should very proud of themselves. So sad it is all over, I seriously do not know what I'm going to do without Neighbours : ( . I really hope it comes back one day
It's going to be weird tomorrow night at 6.30 that's for sure. Watching Neighbours has been a part of my nightly routine for the past 37 years.
I will miss those nights where me and fam ate dinner whilst watching this fabulous show - what a great way to close the series
Your fam were losers then, no offence. Anyone who watched Neighbours and Home & Away was a loser.
Even as a 45 year old, I had to watch this. Neighbours was such a part of mine and my friends teens. Every evening after school it was Neighbours time, we’d all talk about it the next day. The only other sad thing I feel now is that I’m so old! We loved you Neighbours!
That's when good Neighbours... will always become good friends forever.
My family used to watch this series, and for me... i love everything Australian-related when it comes to Ramsay St. and Neighbours.
R.I.P Neighbours (1985-2022)
Thank you for being such a large part of my life for so many years growing up, particularly in the 80s and 90s heyday. Having lived in the Netherlands for many years, I haven't watched for a long time, but I'll treasure the memories. God bless cast and crew - past and present.
Neighbours has been around since I was born. It was my childhood. It brings back so many amazing memories. I really loved this show. So sad it has to be brought to an end. Thank you for the many, many years of your lovely programme. TV won't be the same without you. Genuinely upset that this has happened.
Aaaaaahhhhhhh! I’ve grown up with neighbours and although I stopped watching as I got older, it was an important memory of my childhood. What a lovely way to end it 💕
Loved this evening’s episode. Brought back so many memories. Brilliantly written finale. 🙌
Beautiful ending.
I’ve never seen this show at all, but as someone who’s watched soap operas all my life, this was a textbook-level perfect final scene.
Congratulations to all the families and friends of Ramsay St. May you live on in our hearts as our forever Neighbours.
WATCHING this with my grandmother 38 years ago. Stop watching ot came back and always love the show I think it be missed by alot of people
Not watched this show for over 30 years but now I think I'm going to miss it....... Great to see S, C , M and J all back together. Great times!
I started watching Neighbours with my Nana in the 80s, and watched all through the 90s even when I couldn’t watch with her. It’s been a while since I watched regularly (life, ‘ey?) but I couldn’t miss the finale for a nostalgic punch in the feels.
Great to see so many people who “got their start” on the show return (I see you, Guy Pearce, ha bloody legend), but also I just really feel for all those who were currently working on the show and who now don’t have that work. You’ve all handled this with such class, and I applaud the way you wrapped this up not just for the fans but for yourselves.
As someone who works with Jackie in the audio medium, I think the choice to have her deliver the final monologue was a stroke of genius, coz she’s just so damn good at it! She’s such a tremendous actor, and I can’t wait to be In the studio again with her.
While it’s sad Neighbours has ended, y’all can be really proud that you turnt it - right to the very end.
Go well.
Thank you for such a great way to end the show that brought me so much joy and happiness and feel safe during my teenage and young adulthood.
Thank you to Stefan, Kylie, Jackie, Anne (all Annies), Guy, Alan, Ryan, Natalie, Rebecca, Daniel, April, Kate, Melanie, Tim Matt and many other cast for bringing the stories to life.
Thanks to all the crew who worked on the show for making such great stories and memories.
More importantly, thanks for allowing us to say goodbye to our childhood memories.
Now lemme get the tissues...
Loved this. A mainstay of my 80s and 90s youth comes to an end in a touching and fun way. Shane! Clive! Madge! Scott and Charlene! Phillip Martin! A wonderful stroll down memory lane. Bravo!
When I visited Melbourne from the UK a few years ago I had the very lucky chance to visit the Neighbours set and walk around Ramsay Street - wow, watching this final episode made me cry so much!
I will forever be sad that something that has been constantly there for nearly my entire life, is now over, but as finales go, that was off the charts amazing. So many great memories from the show growing up, and to see how far so many that started on the show have gone too is very special to see.
It would be great to see it back in some form in the future, but if it isn't then know I'd like to thank the cast & crew, both past & present, for being such a big part of my life. 😊
Apologies for the rogue years I was estranged from the show, but just like so many of the characters, I always seemed to find my way back to Ramsey Street again when life tried to take me on a different path!
I look forward to seeing what everyone does going forward, too many great actors from the current cast that we aren't going to see many of them going onto great things elsewhere in the future.
Thank you Neighbours! We’ll miss you. You’re such a big hit in my family, and every single one of us got something out of the finale from over of the different decades! A beautiful conclusion
A perfect end and speech. I loved how Susan said ' people from afar'. It was as though she was acknowledging the overseas viewers
I loved that too ❤
Scott and Charlene turning up with "especially for you" playing was brilliant 😂
there couldnt have being another better song choice for that
@@stuarthough8440 it was either that or Angry Anderson "suddenly" from their wedding
@@stuarthough8440 although we should have guessed it from the Twitter post when Kylie posted "now we're back together" with the picture of them both on Ramsey Street😂
Gosh, that was so perfectly written, so perfectly acted & very emotional.
Such was the natural impact of Jackie Woodburne, fondly reminiscing & remembering all those who had lived in Ramsay Street, it really started to make you well up a touch.
It was perhaps, the finest ever ending to a fabulous show. One that will be fondly remembered by so many - young & old.
Farewell to all those cast members (past & present), who were a part of my childhood & my wife's favourite show.
Good on ya.
Fair dinkum!!
I cried at the start, half way through. But at the end when susan was talking i was crying like someone in my family had pasted. Been watching since mid 90s ish. Me and my mum talked about it alot. I am so sad its no more. 😭😭
I’m saddened that Neighbours has finished. So many fantastic memories and so many careers where launched thanks to the show. Rest in peace Neighbours you will never be forgotten
Things you may have missed in this scene:
Joel's scenes were filmed totally separately as he is not seen interacting with any other character and is always seen standing alone.
Mike and Scott/Charlene are not seen together in the same shot as the actors couldn't film on the same day. At the end you'll see Jane looking up at him on the balcony but he is far to the left to avoid being seen in the same shot as Scott and Charlene. In the same episode, it is made out that they are reintroduced and go for a hug but you don't see it.
When the balloon bursts, you will see Harold on the ground looking up with the others, but when it bursts, he is back on the balcony!
I need a life.
Used to watch it in my school days, nice to see the old characters making a comeback.
Well what an episode, ive sobbed all the way through, Susan made me cry the most, loved seeing Jane and Mike back together, but for me it was Jason donovan 😍 had posters of him on my wall as a kid, but seeing him in today's episode brought back so many of good memories. I'm gonna miss neighbours it's been part of my life from the beginning, we were always late back to class as we used to watch it in our lunch break at school 😂. #bring back neighbours!!!
Am 48 years old and watched neighbours growing up and still watch it . Sad it could not be saved
I'm going to miss Neighbours so much ❤
Got to be honest haven't watched it for a few years, but had to watch the last episode,,Was balling remembering the first episode on bbc1 the family and friends we had ,Thank you Neighbour's ,it's certainly been a journey..
Still crying! Such a waste. It was going so strong. I hope people realise what they've lost now it's gone :( - Thank you EVERYONE and all the very best for the future. The perfect blend!
Going strong but hemmoraging money
We all await Channel 5s new Homegrown talent show...coming up. allegedly however we, Australia should have came up with the money to subsidise the show. They weren't actually looking for a fortune in money reality terms.
A great way to wrap it all up. Had us rewinding when the adverts came on to try and name everyone that returned. Have watched since i was a kid and has been our dinnertime tv every night and recorded if we were out. Dont know how were going to fill the gap.
Susan's monologue broke me. And, when i saw Sonya... Dude, this is heartbreaking. I'll miss you all.
Thank you for a heartwarming finale, Susan's heartfelt monologue at the end brought tears as did seeing past and present characters come together. For everyone involved in Neighbours I wish you all happiness and good health.
Nicely done. Classy way to bow out.
I usually hate endings of a series but this is 🤌🏻 *chefs kiss*
Watching this again... since it was such an excellent finale. As an American I have watched too many finales of our long running soaps. None can compare to how this, even though sad, is basically a celebration . So from one of those watching from afar....Thanks Australia!
I watched it last night and was in tears,just watched it here and I'm away again...so brilliantly put together.and it was great to see my idol back where she started.
a really fitting way to finish 37 years of great Neighbours. I hope this won't be the last we see of our friendly friends. It was especially nice to see old faces as well. been watching since day 1, and always looked forward to switching on to somewhere warmer and drier than wet Wales. I think it was that plus great storylines that kept me watching all of these years. Thank-you Neighbours writers/cast/crew & production team for being a first for so many things, not least taking our minds off the pandemic that spread like wild fire around the world. you will all be sorely missed by millions. maybe think of streaming online rather than trying to get backing by other means. because you wouldn't have survived this long without what you created. I hope one day to visit Ramsey Street, and other venues, but when that will be I really don't know. so I hope to see you back on our screens before then!! 🙂
Going to miss you all so much, neighbours is the only soap I followed religiously. So sad to see the last episode but you did the fans proud. Love you all. ❤️❤️❤️
Neighbours please I’m begging you, upload all the episodes on TH-cam or any streaming service. We can’t let neighbours fall extinct
Good idea personally I don’t think I could watch them because I know what will happen and what happens to the characters x
Declan From Down Under they should do that if they dont they should b ashamed
I wasn’t crying I wasn’t. Thank you guys for the laughs and tears over the years
Good luck to the cast and crew of Neighbours. Thanks for many years of entertainment. I hope you all go on to bigger and better things!
I can't believe it's really over. I'm 34 but since always watched this in the 90s as a child with my grandmother. She passed away 10 years ago but seeing this brought back so many good times. Thank you Neighbours. Love from Dublin, 🇮🇪
Thank you all cast and crew members. That was amazing and beautifully done. You've had me in tears on and off throughout this last week and the Finale kept it going. So many seen but not heard nods as in if you're a fan you knew...yes I saw you Jason Herbison you legend👏👏I was there from start to finish. Thank you for every minute and I really hope we get to see you all again soon.💔😭 🥰🥰🥰🥰😘
I watched this fantastic show during the heights of its glory days mid 90s to early 2000s, we lived for it everyday after school. We need old the episodes uploaded now. Thanks for all the memories
Didn't deserve to be cancelled, I've watched this since I was very young and as a family we grew up with neighbours. A great ending ❤️
Wow. This was a great episode, very emotional, loved having the old cast back with the flash backs and the ones that past away on the show. This will definitely be missed ❤️
The monologue and music made my cry 😭😭😭😭😭
I'm going to miss this like crazy 😭😭😭😭
Neighbours ended in a very classy, reflective, emotional way, using the same reminiscing monologue that was used for the final episode of Falcon Crest many years ago, only Neighbours managed to do it even better than Falcon Crest did. They both used the matriarch to deliver to reflection (Jane Wyman and Jackie Woodburne) and while both were heartfelt and made me cry, Neighbours truly celebrated the past and present characters and it was touching to see the part with some of those who had died appear briefly (Madge, Doug, Hendrix, Sonia and Finn). Although I believe they could have at least shown a photo or video of Craig McLachlan, overall it was an amazing ending that felt true to the spirit and history of Neighbours. Now we need to urge the rights owners to continue the DVD releases, we particularly need a DVD release of the final batch of episodes with all the returning characters with the very emotional final episode included.
There were several people missing, not just Craig.
And as Melanie's former boyfriend, I guess it wasn't a priority for him to be at her wedding.
Some more "ghosts" would have been nice. Todd Landers for example. Or videos from Connor, Pam Willis, Brad Willis, Bronwyn, and so many others.
It took me a couple of rewinds to recognize all the videos, especially Billy!
@@MsGrandunion They had Todd in the scrapbook which Izzy was reading. But I wanted to see Phoebe come back for the last episode with their daughter Hope.
@@MsGrandunion Craig McLachlan wanted to be in the finale but he was not allowed. He claims it was because of sexual assault charges that he was cleared of for the snub. Considering they didn't even show Henry at all in any photos, or flashbacks I would have to agree with him that they wanted to wipe him completely.
@@lindab424 Very sad when he has been found innocent.
@@ianhirst1148 Totally agree. To not let appear in the final episode was bad enough but to have not acknowledged the character of Henry Ramsay in any way was disgraceful in my opinion.
Hi! It was a wonderful finale. The scrip writers should be really proud of themselves. What a wonderful way to integrate old characters. And I loved how Jackie finished everything off. I will miss this show tremendously, I’ve watched since the start. 👍🏻😃💜
