He's been known as Dr Karl Kennedy for almost 28 years after becoming a resident of Ramsay Street in 1994 - as he prepares for Neighbours' last ever episode, Alan Fletcher speaks to Sky News about his time on the show and his music career
"We will finish filming the final scenes on 10 June," says Fletcher ."I'm on a break from Neighbours now until mid-May, so I will go back and do the last four weeks of the show, which promise to be - this is a big statement - possibly the best episodes of Neighbours ever made, because we have a lot of returning guests.So far, Harold Bishop has been confirmed to return, he says, and there are many more.
"I'm assuming that whatever that last scene is, everyone will turn up and fill the studio," he says."This has happened before when actors have left the show, where they're filming their last scene and it might just be two people on the set, you know, discussing their love, and there are 150 people in the studio, in the dark, waiting for the scene to finish.
"We could be in EastEnders and go for a pint at the pub and I could go on to the set of Doctors and be asked to help save a life in the street. We'd have a grand old time. Up to Corrie and then go across to Emmerdale. Brilliant." "But I don't know there's going to be any opportunity to try and slyly pinch anything because I believe it will go into storage as being historical. Basically, it's history, it'll be all going to a museum, I think."Fletcher is releasing his debut solo album Dispatches later in 2022. Pic: Courtesy of Alan Fletcher
The resulting album, Dispatches, is set to be released later this year, with the first single - Sorry Is The Word, a duet with former Neighbours star Alyce Platt - released earlier in April.
