Neighbours child star Scarlett Anderson discusses show ending in moving video
"I just want them to know that I'm never going to forget them."
Neighbours' very own Scarlett Anderson has paid tribute to the soap in a moving Twitter video.
Ahead of the show's grand finale in a few weeks' time, Anderson and her co-star John Turner – who play the Rebecchi kids Nell and Hugo respectively – sat down to reflect on some special memories from their time working on the series.
Anderson opened by choosing one of her favourite scenes from across the nine years she's been part of the Neighbours cast.

"I think when I was around, like, five or six and I played a scene where I had to – I took Susan's medicine and then I pretended to faint and go in hospital," she said.
"When I watch that, it's kind of scary and I kind of forget about that, like, how long that's been – and also the scene where we pretended I was just born, that's a really nice scene too and a sad one."
As for what she'll miss the most about Neighbours?
"The vibe where everyone's just coming here on set and filming and we're all having a fun time," she said.
"I've pretty much grown up on this show, and same with John too. It's sad that it's going to be finishing but I love thinking about how... I should be grateful how it even started and be happy that I had a really good time."
Anderson wrapped up by thanking her castmates, telling the camera: "They were really nice and friendly to me when I was young and stuff, because I kind of messed up on my lines a bit, but they always had me and whispered the lines to me, or gave me a good cue.
"And I just want them to know that I'm never going to forget them."
