As Neighbours comes to an end, BBC soap EastEnders has shared a lovely tribute video thanking it for 37 years of service.
To kick off the sweet film, none other than Alan Fletcher himself turned up in the Bridge Street cafe asking for a cab!
Linda Carter (played by Kellie Bright) was sitting in the cafe lamenting the loss of Neighbours, explaining how she loved catching up with them all chilling in the sunshine.
Enter Karl Kennedy actor Fletcher, leaving Linda completely starstruck and asking for a selfie!
The video then went on to share touching tributes from the cast of EastEnders, starting with Tameka Empson, who said: “O-M-G. Neighbours, you’re going!”
Max Bowden shared: “So sorry to see that you’re going, guys, but congratulations on everything you’ve achieved over the years. You’ll be sorely missed. Sending lots of love.”
Balvinder Sopal added: “To all the cast and crew of Neighbours, thank you for a brilliant 37 years. You’ve entertained us for a such a long time.”
“You’ve given us 37 years of joy, and I’m just so sad that you’re going,” commented Natalie Cassidy.
Kim Medcalf added: “As a child, I would rush back from school waiting to see the next episode. It was so much fun!”
