Alan “Fletch” Fletcher (Dr Karl Kennedy) says “everything was better” this last time around on Neighbours.

He’s in the bin with Takaya Honda (David Tanaka) and Matty Wilson (Aaron Brennan), talking Karl & Susan Kennedy: why that relationship worked for decades (even with Karl’s… flaws), what the Neighbours finale reveals, and why fatherhood changed the way Fletch approached vulnerability on screen. Plus: a festive singalong for anyone missing Ramsay Street already.

SPOILERS AHEAD: This episode contains spoilers for the Neighbours finale.

In this episode, Fletch, Tak and Matty get into:

• The magic (and chaos) of Karl & Susan Kennedy - flaws, forgiveness, all of it
• “Dr Google” and the wild medical storylines we somehow believed
• Meeting Neighbours fans over the years - and the moments they’ve shared with Fletch in real life
• How having kids shifted Fletch as a person and an actor
• Matty’s childhood trauma: a breakout stage role… as a tree
• Genuinely useful hacks to stay happily married off-screen
• Why your favourite celebs will grab your phone when you ask for a selfie with them

Plus: Producer (Peeping) Tom rummages in the poddy bins to find your dilemmas - and Tak and Matty answer wisely… if loosely. Got a dilemma? Send a voice memo or email to: [email protected]

Bin Night with Tak & Matty is your unofficial Neighbours after-party, where your favourite Ramsay Street couple wheel the bins out, talk trash, and bicker like an old married couple - about the show, the cast, the fans, and what really happens after the credits roll.

No character, in the history of television, has ever schemed or been redeemed more often than Paul Robinson, played to dastardly effect by the one and only Stefan Dennis.

SPOILERS AHEAD – this episode contains spoilers for the finale of Neighbours.

So lock in because in this episode Stefan gets real with us about:

• How his hit song “Don’t It Make You Feel Good” originates from a casual voiceover session and reached #16 in the UK.
• The unofficial Neighbours band with Craig McLachlan and Kylie Minogue, crediting Greg Petherick for discovering Kylie.
• Participating in Strictly Come Dancing to learn dancing for his wife, only to be forced out by an injury after the Charleston.
• Stefan’s 6,000+ episodes as Paul Robinson, and how fatherhood enhances his portrayal of vulnerability.
• Parenting tips as a father of three, being mentally present and setting boundaries for kids.
• Travel with his wife, a potential Strictly tour, and a motorcycle trip across Australia.
• Not retiring as an actor, the emotional end of Neighbours, and his pride in a varied career.

As Neighbours ends and we say goodbye to Ramsay Street, Annie Jones – a.k.a. Plain Jane Superbrain / Jane Harris – joins Bin Night with Tak And Matty for one last emotional trip to Erinsborough.

Annie is the hug you need as the lights go out on Neighbours for the very last time. She’s gorgeous, funny, effervescent and kind, and she’s been in our living rooms and hearts as Jane Harris off and on since 1986. In the breaks from Neighbours, she’s starred in just about every other major Aussie TV show.

SPOILERS AHEAD – this episode contains spoilers for the final week of Neighbours.

In this episode, Annie, Matty and Tak share:

• How they discovered the show was ending again (hint: the cast were not first to know)

• How they feel about the way it all wrapped up – what they’d bin and what they’d keep

• The producers’ plans to get “more skin” on screen and make Neighbours just a little sexier over the years

• Why Plain Jane Superbrain became such an iconic Ramsay Street character for UK and Australian fans

• Tak and Matty going full Dad Mode trying to convince Annie to start a YouTube channel documenting her home renovations – and why we now need you to name the show
