The final chapter of an iconic television era is upon us as Neighbours prepares for its ultimate farewell. The beloved Australian soap opera, a staple of British screens for 40 years, will broadcast its last-ever episode on Thursday, December 11, 2025.
The Battle for Ramsay Street's Future
In a dramatic final week, the residents of Erinsborough face their greatest challenge. The local council has decreed that a new freeway must be built directly over Ramsay Street, threatening the very foundations of their community. This sets the stage for a poignant final struggle, led by stalwarts Susan and Karl Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne and Alan Fletcher), who are determined to save their home.
Their efforts are complicated by competing visions from other key figures. Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) and the returning Shane Ramsay (Peter O'Brien) each have alternative plans—Robinson Towers and Ramsay Hills respectively—should the rebellion against the council fail. This finale promises to be distinctly different from the show's previous send-off three years ago, though it will be packed with the same emotional weight, devastation, and returning familiar faces that fans cherish.
A Final Week of High Drama and Nostalgia
The concluding episodes, streaming on Amazon Prime Video, deliver a gripping sequence of events. The week begins on Monday, December 8, with a desperate search for the missing JJ Varga-Murphy (Riley Bryant), who vanished as dangerous foe Eric Linwell escaped custody. The community, including former couple Wendy and Andrew Rodwell, unites in fear.
By Tuesday, December 9, tensions between Terese Willis and Paul Robinson simmer over the street's fate, while Holly Hoyland's health crisis brings an unexpected ally. Wednesday, December 10 sees Paul attempt to win Terese back with a grand commitment ceremony, even as Shane gains ground by organising a trip to Ramsay Hills. The war of visions for Erinsborough's future reaches its peak.
A Fitting Farewell to a TV Legend
The series finale on Thursday, December 11 brings everything to a head. With Paul and Shane making their final pitches, Susan Kennedy leads the charge to preserve Ramsay Street's legacy, supported by friends old and new. This conclusion marks the end of a monumental run that spanned 460 bonus episodes on Amazon's streaming service after its initial rescue from cancellation.
For generations of UK viewers, Neighbours has been more than just a show; it's been a daily ritual. Its final bow, while heartbreaking, aims to provide a fitting and memorable farewell to the street that became a second home to millions.
