Stefan, who has played Paul Robinson since the very first episode in 1985, has spoken out in the wake of the news, with a ‘special message’ aimed at those who have ‘loved and supported’ Neighbours over the years.
Despite the looming end, Neighbours fans aren’t giving up without a fight, with a petition having been launched to find the popular soap a new home.
The previous petition, which was launched in 2022 to save the serial after Channel 5’s axing, is thought to have played a pivotal role in Amazon Freevee’s decision to invest, so it seems not all hope is lost.
Neighbours streams for free Mondays to Thursdays from 7am on Amazon Prime Video.
Amazon Freevee subsequently revived Neighbours, which returned to screens in 2023 on the ad-supported service.
