The couple returned to Erinsborough for the first time since they bid farewell to the suburb and moved to Brisbane after tying the knot in a romantic wedding ceremony.

Meanwhile, Scott cut a casual figure in jeans and a plaid shirt as he wrapped his arm around his partner as fans were reunited with the popular couple.
As the characters returned to the show, Kylie and Jason’s famous duet Especially For You could be heard playing in the background in an unexpected crossover moment.
Kylie and Jason, who dated in real life, recorded the love ballad together in 1989 – one year after they left Neighbours and before they ended their three-year romance.
In the 80s, Neighbours was unstoppable with Kylie and Jason’s onscreen wedding as Scott and Charlene was watched by two million Australians on July 1, 1987.
Their union was an even bigger attraction when it aired in the UK a year later, drawing 19.6 million viewers, making it Britain’s third most-watched show of 1988.

Kylie and Jason, who were dating in real life at the time were household names in both countries, and would each go on to launch music careers in the UK.
Their on-screen relationship began after Scott mistook Charlene for an intruder at his neighbour Madge Ramsay’s house, before eventually learning she was Madge’s daughter.
After getting married, the pair left Erinsborough and moved to Brisbane.
A number of Neighbours legends returned to screens for the epic finale including Joel Samuels (Daniel McPherson) and Mike Young (Guy Pearce).
Their epic return to the soap comes after Kylie took to Instagram to share snaps of herself and Jason after they reunited to film their final scenes on Neighbours.
The blonde superstar brought back her iconic curls to reprise her role as Charlene Robinson to star alongside Jason, who plays her husband Scott, for the iconic soap’s final episode.
Kylie captioned images of the pair together on her Instagram account, ‘Now we’re back together’, referencing their hit song, Especially For You.
The pint-sized pop star donned her character’s famous mechanic’s overalls for what would be her final appearance on the cancelled series.
Kylie’s appearance comes as the cast filmed their last scenes after the show was axed after 37 years.
The beleaguered soap opera faced an uncertain future following its cancellation by original network Channel 5, where it has spent the last 14 of its 37-years on British TV.
And Fremantle Media, the production company responsible for its development confirmed it would be taken off-air indefinitely over the summer after an ‘extensive search for alternative funding’ ended in failure.
But in the 80s, the show was unstoppable with Kylie and Jason’s onscreen wedding as Scott and Charlene was watched by two million Australians on July 1, 1987.
