It was huge. I can't imagine any soap marriage these days having such an impact really.

I was in the sixth form and a group of us went to a friend's house at lunchtime to watch it - we didn't want to wait for the after-school programme!

Jim, Helen, Paul, Henry, Des, Daphne, Mrs Mangle, Madge, Lucy, Mike, Harold and plain Jane super brain - who did I miss ?

I lived for Neighbours back in the day. 5.35pm was sacred. It's sad that so many of the original cast are no longer with us now.

I had a huge crush on Jason Donovan and weirdly also on Stefan Dennis.

Who’s no longer with us besides Helen Daniel’s and Mrs mangel?

Can't remember the name of Paul's wife in the clip - Gail maybe ???

I remember this and I was only six. I was obsessed with Kylie and Jason I had her album on tape and a microphone to sing along with. I had a neighbours sticker book to.

LOVED Charlene and Scott's wedding! I wanted to have 'Suddenly' playing when I walked down the aisle but DH put his foot down Angry

He was wrong. You should haveGrin

2catsandhappy · 08/11/2024 21:23

I watched Neighbours daily while pregnant. If my then born baby cried or grizzled, I would hum the theme tune and dd would settle. Worked right up until she was a year old.
Oh The Wedding. Loved it. Loved 'Suddenly'.
More simple times for me.

Still my all time favourite piece of television history. Suddenly every part of me needs to know every part of you..... Still brings a tear to my eye 🥲😅🤣

leftfootinletfootout · 08/11/2024 21:38

Wasn't there an episode about Bouncer having a dream or have I imagined that ?

I watched it in the Student Union at lunch time. It was absolutely crammed 😁

Magnalux · 08/11/2024 21:42

Anyone remember the neighbours trading cards!! Had all the characters faces on them, about 20p per pack.. my next door neighbour who always had everything had the full set and I was soo jealous..

I was a student. We cried watching both lunchtimes and teatime episodes. My flatmates bought me Suddenly for my birthday. Oh happy times!

Oneblindmouse · 08/11/2024 22:04

My DD (now 37) loved the theme tune. I still have the vinyl 45 rpm.

At the time I was a nursery nurse student working in a primary school and I did my utmost to find a job outside of the classroom and sneak into the TV room to watch that afternoon episode. I did think that Scott/Jason looked a bit weird though?
Neighbours back then was a measure of time wasn't it? We'll meet after neighbours. Ring me after Neighbours. I have to be home in time for Neighbours. Oh happy days!

LizzieVeraker · 08/11/2024 22:07

I had the Jason Donovan jigsaw game.

Oh that just made me tear up! I've had labs and border collies in my lifetime. I adored Bouncer!

This has made me smile so much! I think I've had too much red wine tonight! Currently binging old Neighbours episodes on YouTube😂😂.

Mandoidi · 08/11/2024 23:09

I still watch it
Love a bit of neighbs

Hillsmakeyoustrong · 08/11/2024 23:22

I was grounded the day before this was shown and my mum made me miss it even though she knew it was a huge deal. Wasn't allowed to record it either. Parents were nails back then!

I remember when Plain Jane had her transformation! I was blown away 😂
