Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan are reunited as their famous Neighbours characters in a teaser trailer released ahead of the last-ever episode of the show airing this week.

The long-running soap will come to a close with a double-episode special on Australian TV on 29 July after 37 years on screen, with other Ramsay Street favourites returning in the finale to include Margot Robbie, Guy Pearce, House actor Jesse Spencer and singer Delta Goodrem. The final episode of Neighbours will air in Ireland on RTÉ2 on 3 August.

As the 40-second trailer starts, the voice of Harold Bishop, played by Ian Smith, can be heard saying: "It certainly feels like the end of an era" before he is seen in person adding: "It all goes so quickly."

Also shown is Pearce, who reprises his role as Mike Young, the best friend of Donovan’s Scott Robinson and Minogue’s Charlene Mitchell.

In the teaser video he is seen reconnecting with his old love interest, Jane Harris, played by Annie Jones.

Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue are back for the finale of Neighbours

Minogue and singer Donovan are seen in character standing in front of a car, resting on its bonnet, with his arm around her before the words 'Will they get their happy ever after?’ appear on screen.

Singer Natalie Bassingthwaighte is coming back as Izzy Hoyland and is seen in tears, telling a mystery figure: "Your story, my story. I wanted a reason to come back."

Also returning for the finale is Peter O’Brien, who appeared in the show’s first episode as Shane Ramsay, Mark Little, who played Joe Mangel, and Paul Keane, who played Des Clarke.

Neighbours is ceasing production after failing to secure new funding since being dropped by Channel 5 earlier this year.
