‌
Susan Kennedy actress Jackie Woodburne continued: "It's impossible to measure the gratitude I feel for the gift of 30 years on Neighbours.
"To do so I would have to calculate the number of extraordinary cast and crew I have been privileged to work with, count the number of laughs I have shared with them, measure the pride I feel for the diverse, dramatic (and sometimes outrageous!) storytelling we have all been a part of."
"We are the best version of 'family'. It has been a wild ride into a happy life. Wouldn't change it for quids!"

Alan Fletcher, who play Karl Kennedy, added: "Neighbours has been my happy place for over 30 years. I will always treasure the creative freedom and enthusiasm amongst the whole team that has allowed us to produce a brilliant show for so long."
Candice Leask, who plays Wendy Rodwell, explained: "It took me 10 years and five auditions to land the role of Wendy Rodwell.

"The three years playing Wendy and being on Neighbours has changed my life, not only as an actor but also as a person. The people that I have gotten to know so closely from production to crew to cast have allowed me to see how amazing this industry can be."
Executive Producer, Jason Herbison, said: 'Neighbours is a special show and it's been a privilege to make the recent seasons for our loyal viewers around the world. We have added 460 episodes to our legacy of over 9000 episodes, something we all feel proud of.
"Once again, we will be resting the residents of Ramsay Street on a hopeful note, with some tantalising possibilities for a future chapter."
