Plenty were returning to the show after years or decades of not watching, one joking: “will the season finale of Neighbours make sense if I haven’t seen episode 2345-5954?”

Others pondered if the show would go all-out for the finale and ressurect a few iconic characters, like Stingray and Tadpole. We wouldn’t bet on it.

And from the moment the first notes of the theme song played, fans went into an absolute frenzy of emotion.

There was plenty of reminiscing on old plotlines and characters, especially given that we already knew to expect cameos from Ramsay Street legends like Kylie Minogue and Margot Robbie.

And it wouldn’t be a TV finale without memes… so many memes.
