It is a classic soap opera plotline. A much-loved character is killed off in spectacular fashion, shockingly resurrected from the dead and then brutally despatched again soon after.
Now one of Australia's most famous shows has gone the same way.
On Thursday, the final episode of Neighbours will be broadcast in the UK and in its homeland.
Officially, the soap is "resting". But the sets have been dismantled and actors have taken other jobs. It looks like it really is goodbye to Ramsay Street.
If this sounds a touch familiar, you're not wrong.
