Pop star Kylie Minogue has said it "very sweet" to be part of the Neighbours finale alongside Jason Donovan and that it reminded her of be a "19-year-old again".
Minogue starred as Charlene in the hugely popular soap from 1986 to 1988. Donovan starred as Scott from 1986 to 1989. The characters' wedding in 1987 - shown in 1988 in Ireland and the UK - was one of the key moments in Neighbours' history.
Speaking about her return to Ramsay Street Minogue told The Australian: 'I wanted to be reminded of being that 19-year-old again, when I would get into my Datsun and fang it to Vermont South or the Network Ten studios at Nunawading,' [in Melbourne where the show is filmed].
'It was very sweet to be with Jason and to think, "Wow, we're still around".'
In March, it was announced that the curtain was coming down because the soap had failed to find a new broadcaster in the UK following Channel 5's decision to cease its funding. Unlike rival soap Home and Away, Neighbours has been primarily produced for the UK market for many years.
Many other beloved characters will be returning to the show before it winds up for good including Harold Bishop (Ian Smith), Shane Ramsay (Peter O'Brien) and Izzy Hoyland (Natalie Bassingthwaighte).
The second last episode will air in Ireland on Tuesday, 2 August with the final 30-minute episode airing on Wednesday, 3 August.
Neighbours airs weekdays on RTÉ One and RTÉ2 and is available on the RTÉ Player.
