A source said: "Everyone is gutted the show is coming to an end but they are determined to go out on a high.

"Kylie and Jason have such strong ties to the series they didn't even think twice about returning.

"The final scene will make fans well up and sees Charlene and Scott return to the street as they declare "we're home".

"Bosses have deliberately written the script so that Neighbours could come back in a few years should anyone want to rescue it."

Scott and Charlene's wedding was watched by a staggering 2 million viewers in Australia when it was first aired in 1987.

The following year 20 million UK fans tuned in to watch the nuptials.
Taking about her time on the show, Kylie said: "I will be forever grateful for the experience and the friends I made on Neighbours.

“We had no idea how big the show would become and how passionately viewers would take it to heart.”

Jason added: “It has kept my family employed for a long time, to be honest.

“My daughter is currently in it, my dad was in it. I think we should be grateful for what it’s given Australia, it’s given actors, producers, writers, directors.”

The Sun first broke the news that Neighbours was being axed back in March after makers Fremantle Media failed to find a buyer for the show.
