If Neighbours fans have one pet peeve, it's the show's history being rewritten to suit a new storyline. The introduction of the long-lost Ramsay siblings in 2009 annoyed long-term viewers as it trashed the show's established canon. All the cast and crew are incredibly excited that Ramsay Street will officially welcome viewers again to the neighbourhood on 18 September in the UK and Australia, and also be introduced to brand new audiences in the US and Canada when the new chapter of Neighbours is unveiled," he said. The teaser clip features a few familiar faces, as several Neighbours cast favourites have been confirmed as returning, as well as some new characters. Another funny moment in the finale saw Sam correctly point out an inconvenient fact that fans have mentioned over the years – Ramsay Street isn't a street at all, but in fact a court.

This comes as soaps fans have been growing more and more excited since Neighbours actors Stefan Dennis and Rebekah Elmaloglou teased ahead to some "mind-blowing" plot twists in the new episodes. In an exclusive chat with Digital Spy, Herbison elaborated on this further: "Guy was brilliant. We had a shape for the story, which of course involved revisiting Mike and 'plain' Jane. But he brought so much more to it. It was his idea that Mike turn out to be Sam's father, which we all felt was one of the most touching elements of the finale."

When Channel 5's decision to axe Neighbours was first announced, superfan Edward Skylover set up an online petition calling for a rethink. Over 69,000 viewers signed it, but Channel 5 didn't have enough Cash In The Attic (ahem) to continue funding Neighbours and refused to budge. Script producer Shane Isheev named a number of recent characters after superfans or their family members.

Jason Herbison, Neighbours’ executive producer, shared his passion for the upcoming new chapter of the soap in a statement. You can't accuse the Neighboursteam of not having a sense of humour. Ever since the show's axing was announced in February, the episodes have been littered with funny in-jokes and references to the past. Number 32's also hyped up the "barely-used fireplace" in the living room – an admission that we've only seen the kitchen set at that house in recent years. In Susan's final monologue, she stated that "those who watched us from afar" deserved a place in the Ramsay Street history book.

Neighbours used to end every episode with a cast member screeching "Unmissable drama!", before a trailer was shown to hype up upcoming events. Fans would constantly tease the show for the OTT promos, so the tagline was later scrapped. He has interviewed hundreds of soap stars over the years, from Bill Roache to Lacey Turner, and regularly visits the sets of Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks for behind-the-scenes trips and press events. The Simpson family are part of the Street's fictional history, as they lived at Number 30 in the late 1980s. When Amy headed off on a blind date a few weeks ago, she found herself enduring a cringeworthy time with Ben, an obsessed superfan of the soap One Way Street. One Way Street was one of the original titles suggested for Neighbours before the show launched. In a recent scene, Harold was kept updated on the faces from Ramsay Street's past who'd been in touch to offer contributions to the history book.

Neighbours has now come to an end, but catch-up episodes are available via My 5 (UK) and 10 Play (Australia).

The new instalments of the soap will also stream on Prime Video in Canada, Ireland, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. The writers were at it again in 2016, when the Tanaka twins were revealed as Paul Robinson's children. This also went against established continuity from episodes that had aired in the '80s. I've known their family before Henry was even born, and sadly and strangely, right on Henrietta's 18th birthday in February was the day I read the article that the show was finishing. So I was going: 'No! No! This is terrible, I can't believe it!'" Pearce recalled.
