Jason Herbison, the Executive Producer of Neighbours, has opened up about the show’s finale.

In 2022, Channel 5 aired the last ever episode of Neighbours. It featured the return of a whole host of familiar characters including Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue’s Scott and Charlene.

Months later, streaming platform Amazon Freevee picked the show up, allowing it to return.

Earlier this year, fans were heartbroken once more as they learnt the soap had been cancelled again.

The final scenes are being filmed in July, with the last episode set to air in December.

Ahead of the farewell, show producer Jason Herbison has opened up about what to expect for the last instalment.

‘I’ve already written it, and I would say that I definitely am not going to try and compete with that finale’, he told Back to the Bay, noting the 2022 episode.

‘I haven’t picked up the phone to Jason [Donovan] and Kylie [Minogue] and Guy [Pierce] again. I’ve left them alone, but it will be very similar in tone. I think it’s a very warm, hopeful tone, but it’s also a little bit different. There are things about it that I think might remind people of the previous finale, but it’s also very different.’

Jason went on to stay that he remains hopeful this isn’t the last we’ve seen of Ramsay Street.

‘I think, as has been well documented, the show’s not ending because people aren’t still enjoying it. We still have an amazing following.

‘Unfortunately, the closure of Amazon Freevee did mean the end of the show. But having said that, at the end of this chapter of the show, they were terrific and gave us lots of notice on it as well, which is as much as you can possibly hope for. It wasn’t something that took anyone by surprise.
