Neighbours stars delight fans with off-screen reunion after axe

Neighbours stars Takaya Honda, Matt Wilson and Ben Hall have had a delightful reunion.

The trio, who played married couple David Tanaka and Aaron Brennan, and Ned Willis, on the soap respectively, appeared in a selfie together on Instagram this week – which comes a month after the long-running show came to an end.

"@mattywilson needed two knuckleheads to show him how to build a fence," Takaya wrote in the caption. "The knuckleheads weren't available but @benhall23 and I were."

Fans expressed their happiness at seeing the three back together, one writing in the comments: "Miss seeing you all on our screens".

"How cool that you guys are all buddies in real life," another added. "Love seeing all the renovation work."

A third summed it up nicely, writing: "That's when good neighbours become good friends."

It comes a few weeks after co-star Alan Fletcher shared a real-life Kennedy family reunion with co-stars Jackie Woodburne (Susan) and Kym Valentine (Libby).

"Lovely to catch up with the tv family for lunch!" Alan captioned the picture on Instagram.

Ahead of the show's final episode, Takaya spoke with Digital Spy in July about the soap coming to an end, reflecting on bringing David and Aaron's story to a close on screen.

"With the show ending, they also wanted David and Aaron to have a happy ending, which I agreed with," he noted.

"Even though it's shortened – and I only have a vague idea of what they had planned if it kept going – I don't think the audience will feel robbed of that story having closure. There was still so much room, within the on-screen time we had, to tell the story fully and in an enjoyable way. It wasn't any less of an exciting rollercoaster ride."

Neighbours has now come to an end, but catch-up episodes are available via My 5 (UK) and 10 Play (Australia).
