Neighbours star Jackie Woodburne has played Susan Kennedy for 27 years
Neighbours star Jackie Woodburne fought back tears as she discussed the fate of the Australian soap opera, following reports it could be facing the axe.
When asked by the show's host Carrie Bickmore how she's feeling, Jackie admitted she was "in shock" and "overwhelmed" by the situation. When asked if she'd spoken to her fellow Neighbours actors, Jackie said: "Certainly have. We had a meeting today where our producers gave us some more information and really nothing more that's already been out there."Everybody was sad, we were all crying, we were all very emotional about it all, but we're all so determined to bring this show home as best we can."
Loyal fans of the soap have since reacted on social media as one said: "There must be a way to #SaveNeighbours, surely the wonderful family soap loved by so many cannot go without a fight. Neighbours is the only great viewing @channel5_tv has to offer. Must be bonkers wanting to axe. I hope Neighbours will be snapped up by a worthy channel".
