We, who love the American soap operas, have known over the last 13 years the heartbreak of losing our long-running favorite shows which have included: Guiding Light, As the World Turns, All My Children and One Life to Live.

Now, Aussie soap opera and their fans worldwide of Neighbours, are having to go through the same thing.  The series from down-under wrapped its run when it taped its last scenes for its final episode yesterday.  Viewers will say farewell to Ramsay Street, when the last show airs on August 1st.

Former stars from the show (and as previously reported), Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan and Guy Pierce came back to help the soap opera sign-off and pay homage to their acting starts.

Throughout its run, the series filmed over 9,000 episodes during its 37-year run.  The series production company, Fremantle, shared this final cast photo after the last scene was shot on the series social media account.

With tears and sadness, executive producer, Jason Herbison, said: “We all knew this day was coming but until we were here in this moment when the very last scene was filmed, it was hard to express how we would all feel.  Of course, it is sad and tears were shed, but we’re also enormously proud. Thirty-seven years is an incredible achievement and that should be celebrated.  We’ve also been incredibly touched by the response from our viewers all over the world.”

Back in March, the show announced it would be coming to an end, when they could not find another home for it, after Channel 5 dropped it from its schedule and no new funding options became available to continue the production elsewhere.

So, sad to know that another beloved series has gone to soap heaven? Comment below.

Kin Shriner Says He’s Been Written Out at GH and Shares: “Thank You General Hospital Fans For Decades of Supporting Me!”

Out of nowhere, long-running General Hospital vet, Kin Shriner, shared on his Twitter account Tuesday morning that the soap opera which he has called home, on and off for 45 years, has written him off the show.

That would mean, coming up in story, Shriner’s Port Charles alter-ego, Scott Baldwin is somehow exiting the canvas.

In his tweet, Shriner expressed:I just found out Scotty was written out, I thank U General Hospital fans for decades of supporting me!”

Many are finding this hard to believe, in part, because back in December of 2021 Shriner tweeted, “Scotty’s run is done, so heading to Florida to ride Vespa around the tropics!”  Eventually, Kin was back at GH.

The last long period of time that Kin was away from GH was a five-year absence until Scott was back in Port Charles in February of 2013.

No word yet from the show itself, confirming the news put out by Shriner.  If this is all said and done, we firmly believe Scott will have to come to Port Charles at some point.

Shriner remains one of the all-time favorites of the iconic soap opera currently celebrating its 60th year on the air.

So, what do you think about Kin stating that he is being written off of GH? Comment below.
