Neighbours royalty Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan have been spotted gracing the set of Ramsay Street.
The Australian pop princess took to Instagram to confirm that their characters Charlene (Minogue) and Scott (Donovan) would be returning for the series finale.
Kylie Minogue was a series regular from 1986 till she departed the show in 1988. Jason Donovan exited the show the following year.
Scott and Charlene’s wedding remains the highlight of the series for many fans, with the episode racking in over 2 million viewers in Australia and 19.6 million in the United Kingdom.
When will the finale episode of Neighbours air?
Back in February, Channel 5 in the UK, one of the show’s biggest financial supporters, announced it was dropping Neighbours.

The iconic soap opera was unable to source another financial backer, so, in a decision that left fans more heartbroken than Harold when Madge died, the show would be ending later this year.
However, in true Neighbours style, Channel 10 confirmed the show will be going out with a bang.
The network confirmed 'the history-making final episode of Australia’s longest running drama will be simulcast on 10 and 10 Peach on Thursday, July 28 at 7.30, in a gripping and emotional 90-minute finale'.
Aside from Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan, fans can expect to spot some more familiar faces throughout the finale with Guy Pierce, Natalie Bassingwaighte, Ian Smith among the Ramsay Street alumni set to return for the final episode.
Neighbours has been a staple of Australian television for the past 37 years, with many Aussie actors, such as Margot Robbie, Delta Goodrem and Liam Hemsworth, starring in the soap opera.
The show has given us countless weddings, explosions, pretty much every natural disaster that could occur, and of course, Toadie driving off a cliff on his wedding day.
So, while it’s sad to see the show ending, fans should be in for a treat with the grand finale.
