Next week on Neighbours, in the show’s final ever week, Susan tries to prevent Izzy from moving to Erinsborough as she grapples with the departure of some of her closest friends.
Poor Susan (Jackie Woodburne). As we hurtle towards the final ever episode of Neighbours, she’s being dealt bombshell after bombshell.
Poor Susan (Jackie Woodburne). As we hurtle towards the final ever episode of Neighbours, she’s being dealt bombshell after bombshell.
First, her son Malcolm (Benjamin McNair) arrived in Erinsborough, bringing news that he’d split from his wife Catherine.
At Toadie (Ryan Moloney) and Mel’s (Lucinda Cowden) engagement party, he was vague about what actually happened and appeared tense.
While Susan assumed he felt embarrassed attending an engagement party so soon after his marriage ended, in actuality, he was keeping a very important secret. He had started seeing Izzy Hoyland (Natalie Bassingthwaighte), Karl’s (Alan Fletcher) ex-wife and the person who was a major factor in the Kennedys’ 18-year marriage disintegrating.
Izzy and Malcolm insisted that Izzy had changed, but Karl and Susan (Jackie Woodburne) weren’t so sure. The shocking news that Mal and Izzy are considering relocating to Erinsborough was revealed this week.
When Chloe (April Rose Pengilly) decides to sell Number 24, things get much worse. Given the interest Izzy and Mal have shown, Susan might end up moving in next door to the person she holds responsible for her and Karl’s divorce.
Despite her best efforts to prevent her sworn enemy from settling in the area, Susan is aware that she was powerless to do so. When Izzy starts using Holly, her child with Karl, as a bargaining chip, things get even more difficult.
How can Susan prevent Karl from seeing his daughter again?
As we enter the final week, Susan refuses to be pushed around by Izzy, and puts her own plan in motion.
Unfortunately, it isn’t long until Izzy gets wind of Susan’s plan, and refuses to take it lying down.
Shane Ramsay (Peter O’Brien), a different returnee who is back in town hoping to buy Lassiters, runs into Izzy in the meantime.
Thanks to some wise bitcoin investments, Shane has amassed considerable riches during his absence, and Izzy is drawn to it like a moth to a flame.
When she has another chance encounter with Shane later in the week, Izzy crosses a line.
Is she really as committed to Malcolm as she claims?
Also in the final week, Susan gives Malcolm an ultimatum, insisting that he makes a choice, but she’s devastated when he chooses Izzy over her. Has she made a terrible error in judgement?
The Kennedys are expected to be one of the few families still living on Ramsay Street as Neighbours comes to an end. A large number of other characters are selling their homes.
Given that Chloe has decided to sell Number 24, Mackenzie (Georgie Stone), with whom Susan has become close due to their friendship with Hendrix (Ben Turland), will also need to find a new place to reside.
Susan starts to feel overwhelmed by the thought that all of her closest friends are going at once when Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou), Paul (Stefan Dennis), David (Tayaka Honda), Aaron (Matt Wilson), Toadie, and Mel all decide it’s time for a fresh start away from Ramsay Street.
Harold asks Karl and Susan to take care of the new Ramsay Street history book in the last episode. Susan battles with her emotions when her dear neighbours and friends go.
Will the lonely Susan be forced to say goodbye to her ideal mix of neighbours and move a few steps away from the woman who brought her so much sorrow in the penultimate episode?
Or will the Kennedys get a happy ending?
