The end is nigh for our beloved Neighbours, and during that time there's been an abundance of iconic moments.

In 2022, fans were quick to vote the legendary wedding of Scott (Jason Donovan) and Charlene Robinson (Kylie Minogue) as the best ever Ramsay Street moment of all time in our exclusive poll.

A selection of iconic stories were compiled by RadioTimes.com, including the scene which saw Harold Bishop (Ian Smith) return from being lost at sea.

Years later, he had a spiritual encounter with late wife Madge (Anne Charleston), while the plane crash that claimed the life of his son David also got a mention.

Also on the list was canine Bouncer's dream sequence, Hendrix Greyson's (Ben Turland) beautiful proposal to Mackenzie Hargreaves (Georgie Stone) and that Fake Dee saga.

But you had your say, and a huge 49 per cent of you voted for Scott and Charlene's nuptials as the crowning moment! In fact, every other nomination fell below the 10 per cent mark, other than the moment Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne) confronted Karl (Alan Fletcher) over his affair, which took second place with 11 per cent.

Scott and Charlene said their vows back in 1987 with two million viewers watching in Australia. In the UK, the episode aired over a year later, netting a massive audience of 20m people! So it's easy to see why the characters' magical moment earned the title in your eyes.

Donovan, who reprised his role in what was then deemed the show's final ever episode in 2022, said at the time: "Thank you to all those who’ve voted Scott and Charlene’s wedding the greatest ever Neighbours moment!"

Speaking further about being a part of the soap's legacy, he added: "What an honour to be part of an amazing cast of actors who’ve given so much to this show.

"A massive thank you to the fans who've supported Neighbours over the years. Without you guys we could never have made television history and ultimately brought entertainment happiness throughout the decades."

As the sun sets over Erinsborough once again, the megastars aren't making a comeback. However, a number of fan favourites are staging a return for the last instalment of the current era, which airs in less than two weeks.

The show was axed for the third time in 40 years earlier in 2025, with current producers Amazon MGM Media deciding not to renew beyond its 460-episode commission.

Filming concluded in July, with executive producer Jason Herbison saying at the time: “Neighbours is a special show and it's been a privilege to make the recent seasons for our loyal viewers around the world. We have added 460 episodes to our legacy of over 9,000 episodes, something we all feel proud of.

"Once again, we will be resting the residents of Ramsay Street on a hopeful note, with some tantalising possibilities for a future chapter.”
