Prime video stepped in to save the soap, but have now decided to ditch it as well.
The last ever episode of Neighbours will air on December 11.
Stefan has now revealed a spoiler about the final episode on today’s Loose Women.
Speaking to the panel he told them that he has the “last line” of the final episode.
Stefan revealed that bosses wanted him to have this as he had been on the soap since the start.
Meanwhile, Stefan recently revealed how he was secretly sacked by Neighbours bosses in 2006.
Recalling the incident, he told Australia’s TV Tonight: “Unbeknownst to a lot of people, I was actually sacked in 2006 because producers didn’t know what to do with the character anymore, because they’d made him too big.
“I was actually sacked for about three days before they changed their minds and got me back.
“Then I was sacked again when the show finished (in 2022), and now being sacked again.
“So this is five times that I’ve actually left the show. But it’s three times that this show has actually been axed which has created yet another piece of history.

“It’s the only show in the world, as an ongoing serial, that’s been axed three times.”
Now that Stefan has filmed the last episode of Neighbours, he is taking on his next challenge.
The actor is part of the Strictly Come Dancing 2025 line-up, and is currently training for the show.
After it was announced he would be on the show this year, Stefan said: “I’m very excited to be doing something completely out of my comfort zone.
“But because of that, quietly petrified.
“I’ve got left and right feet but when I look down they’re actually two left ones.”
Neighbours stars who made it big
The long-running Aussie soap has launched the careers of some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. Here are some of the Neighbours alums who went on to make it big after starring on the soap…
Kylie Minogue
- Before she hit the big time with her music career, Kylie shot to fame playing Charlene Mitchell on Neighbours. Shortly after her arrival, Kylie began an on and off-screen romance with co-star Jason Donovan, who played Scott Robinson, which gained the couple an army of adoring fans.
Jason Donovan
- After his stint as Scott, singer and actor Jason became an international popstar and had his pick acting of roles. He moved to the U.K., married, had children and has since starred in over a dozen West End show, most notably Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat.
Alan Dale
- New Zealand born actor Alan was one of Neighbours 12 original cast members having made his debut as Jim Robinson on the soap’s first episode on 18 March 1985. As the head of the Robinson clan, widower Jim lived at Number 26 Ramsay Street with his children Paul, Julie, Scott and Lucy, and was a real anchor in the community. He stayed with the show for eight years, before his character was killed off in dramatic scenes aired in 1993 but which still reverberate through the soap to this day.
Margot Robbie
- Way before she was Barbie or Harley Quinn, Margot was best known as Ramsay Street resident Donna Freedman. Her notable storylines included her marriage to Ringo Brown and becoming a young widow following his tragic death. After three years she bid farewell to the soap and Australia with a plan to make a name for herself in Hollywood which she did when she bagged the role of Naomi Lapaglia opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street.
Jesse Spencer
- Jesse rocked up on Ramsay street in 1994 with the rest of the Kennedy clan. He stayed for five years, literally growing up in front of the camera, but in 2000 felt it was time to spread his wings and head for Hollywood. It was certainly a smart move as he went on to bag leading roles in popular shows like House and Chicago Fire.
Russell Crowe
- New Zealand-native Russell had a brief arc on Neighbours, appearing in four episodes of the soap 1987 as Kenny Larkin, the former cellmate of Street resident Henry Ramsay. The role obviously got him noticed though because he quickly went on to become a fully-fledged Hollywood A-lister, winning the Best Actor Oscar for his standout performance as Roman General Maximus Decimus Meridius in Gladiator.
