Coronation Street has received a lovely 60th anniversary message from Neighbours, as the big milestone draws closer.
With less than two months now before December 9, several stars of the Australian soap recorded videos paying tribute to Corrie's achievement.
"You are the benchmark for all of us in this industry," said Alan Fletcher (Karl Kennedy). "I well remember watching the show when I was a little nipper with my mum on the couch back in Perth.
"Have a fantastic celebration – wish I could be there."

Rebekah Elmaloglou (Terese Willis) added: "We're only 35 and we are crossing our fingers that we will get to that beautiful, ripe old age."

Meanwhile, Colette Mann (Sheila Canning) joked: "You know that Coronation Street is even younger than me?"
Finally, Jackie Woodburne (Susan Kennedy) sent a heartwarming message of her own, thanking the ITV soap for "the memories" and "your legacy".
"I can't imagine how many stories you've told and how many lives you've touched over that time," she said.
"For all of us working in soap and episodic television, it all began with you."
This tribute follows Joanna Lumley's special message from a few days ago. Joanna, who recorded her tribute at the Rovers Return, played Elaine Perkins back in 1973.
Earlier this year, Neighbours marked EastEnders' 35th anniversary with a fun Walford-themed Easter egg at The Waterhole.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays on ITV.
