They will make their returns for the first time since quitting in 1989.

Neighbours’ executive producer Jason revealed on Instagram: “Scott and Charlene are the ultimate Neighbours couple and it would not feel right to end the show without them.

“We are thrilled that Jason and Kylie have come home to play a very special part in our series finale.

“It has been an emotional experience for them, for us and I’m sure it will be for our viewers.”

But fans can be reassured that Neighbours won’t be destroying Ramsay Street in the final.

Jason said: “Ramsay Street is eternal. And I like to think it will live on in the hearts and minds of the viewers, long after the final scene.
