Neighbours star Alan Fletcher shares real life Kennedy family reunion after show axe
Ramsay Street forever.
Neighbours star Alan Fletcher has shared a sweet snap of a real-life Kennedy family reunion.
The long-running Australian soap came to an end earlier this month after 37 years on screen, with Fletcher playing the role of Dr Karl Kennedy for 28 years.
On Instagram, Fletcher shared a photo of himself with his soap wife Jackie Woodburne (Susan Kennedy) and their on-screen daughter Kym Valentine (Libby Kennedy).

The actor captioned the pic: "Lovely to catch up with the tv family for lunch!"
Fletcher recently opened up about the emotional experience of filming his final scenes on Ramsay Street.
"It was very hard to fight back tears as we were saying the dialogue for what was going to be the last moments of the show," he told The Mirror. "There were hundreds of people in the studio to watch that final piece of filming. We had some speeches, I said a few words. There were some tears. There were some celebrations."
Despite Neighbours coming to an end Fletcher has a pretty packed schedule coming up. The actor will be heading to the UK in September to perform a string of live shows about the 28 years he spent on Ramsay Street as Karl titled The Doctor Will See You Now.

He will also be part of the soap's official UK farewell tour which will take place next year.
Speaking to about his plans for life after Neighbours, Fletcher said: "In the last year, I've been writing and recording country and Americana music. So as soon as Neighbours ends, I launch my EP here in Australia.
"Then I jump over to the UK and do a couple of gigs in London. Then, in September, I come back and do the Dr Karl tour as well as playing some music. So it's very busy for me, I've got to say, and I'm really looking forward to it."
Neighbours has now come to an end, but catch-up episodes are available via My 5 (UK) and 10 Play (Australia).
