NEIGHBOURS stars Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan are set to make a return to the soap after the show’s cancellation was announced.
It’s been reported Kylie and Jason, both 53, have already filmed scenes set to show their characters’ Charlene and Scott getting a ‘fairytale ending’.
Australian newspaper Herald Sun claimed the stars will appear in the soap’s final episode, set to air on 1 August.
Jason, whose daughter and dad have also both starred in the show, previously opened up about the axing.
He said: “I think it’s time to celebrate Neighbours. It’s kept my family employed for a long time to be honest! My daughter is in it, so is my dad.
“We should be grateful for what it’s given Australia, actors, producers, writers, directors.”

Ian Smith, 83, agreed to return as Harold Bishop and started filming in March.
Soap bosses are also in contact with Hollywood superstar Guy Pearce, 54, who played Mike Young.
A source said: “Bosses have spoken to Jason who has agreed in theory to return.
