Neighbours cast members reunite in London for their farewell tour as more actors are set to return for the soap’s Amazon reboot
A handful of Neighbours cast members have reunited for a speaking tour of Britain ahead of the Aussie soap’s reboot later this year.
More than 2,000 people bought tickets to Neighbours: The Celebration Show for its debut at the London Palladium on Tuesday, where the actors shared behind-the-scenes stories and archival footage.
Journalist Jennifer Hansen, who is married to series veteran Alan Fletcher, posted a photo on Instagram showing the line-up of stars backstage before their curtain call.
Jackie Woodburne (Susan Kennedy), Stefan Dennis (Paul Robinson), Ryan Moloney (Toadie Rebecchi), Annie Jones (Jane Harris) and April Rose Pengilly (Chloe Brennan) appeared on stage to discuss their roles in the original Channel 10 show.
The group smiled in front of the famous backstage mirror, which has been at the venue ever since the theatre was built in 1910.

‘Hundreds of legendary performers have all posed here before they went on stage… what a night! A standing ovation and rapturous applause,’ Jennifer wrote.
This comes after the series’ regular script producer Shane Isheev confirmed he would be involved in the Neighbours reboot, which will air on Amazon Freevee, reports the Radio Times.
He posted a photo of the Ramsay Street sign on Twitter on Monday with the caption: ‘When the mothership calls you home.’

The original series was cancelled in March 2022, only for its revival to be announced in November.
In a press release from mid-November, Fremantle Australia’s Chief Executive Officer Greg Woods said the writers would start to plot new storylines immediately.
However, fans were left concerned whether their favourite characters would be left out of the next chapter.
