Outside his and co-star Jackie Woodburne’s renowned Ramsay Street home, Alan Fletcher shot his final scenes.

“The Kennedy family’s last day of location was yesterday. “Over the previous 28 years, #jackiewoodburne and I have stood under this arch outside 28 Ramsay Street numerous times,” he wrote.

“As we wrap up filming on Friday, emotions are starting to rise.” Keep an eye out for updates. The most recent episodes are fantastic!!!”

Alan’s current and past Neighbours co-stars expressed their disappointment with the show’s cancellation, with Rob Mills saying, “Love you guys. Thank you for letting me crash on your couch for a time. Hug as soon as possible. “Congratulations on a tremendous effort, mate.”

“Very special,” Benjamin Turland wrote, while April Rose Pengilly simply said “.”

Three months ago, Alan pleaded with Channel 10 to salvage the show.

In March, Alan said on Instagram, “It’s official, all attempts to #SaveNeighbours have been fruitless, and #fremantle has announced the show will finish production in June this year.”

“This is a very terrible day. I’d want to convey my heartfelt gratitude to the millions of fans who have supported our famous drama for the past 37 years. Also, a huge thank you to our broadcast partners @channel10au and @channel5 tv for your long-term support of the show.

“Please stick with the programme until the finish because the last episodes will be a great celebration with returning characters and extraordinary narrative lines,” Alan appealed with viewers.

The actor went on to talk about his personal Neighbours experience, including a particular mention for Jackie Woodburne, who plays his on-screen wife Susan Kennedy.

“Especially my artistic collaboration with the incredible #jackiewoodburne, who has made the voyage the most incredible joy.”

“Through my music and stage appearances, the programme has also connected me to thousands of people who have supported my efforts on and offscreen.” #staytuned #celebrateneighbours #farewellneighbours #pleasestickwithus,” I’m filled with thankfulness.
