Neighbours spoilers follow.
Neighbours has confirmed the exit of a fan favourite ahead of the show’s ending, just as two characters make their return.
Back in February, Neighbours confirmed that it had been axed again after failing to secure a renewal deal from Amazon.
The Australian soap first received the axe in 2022, before it was revived in a surprise move by Amazon’s ad-supported service Freevee.
In upcoming scenes that are set to air on Monday 1 September, Aaron Brennan leaves the Street, bowing out with his new boyfriend Rhett Norman after recently choosing him over Colton Keys.
Matt Wilson, who plays Aaron, left before the end of the show but he was on set for the final few days so it looks like he will make a guest appearance during the finale in December.

Also in upcoming scenes, Elle Robinson (now played by Elise Jansen) returns to Ramsay Street and Terese Willis is immediately wary of her.
Last month the soap announced that it was bringing back the classic character 16 years after she first left and just in time for the grand finale.
Taking to Instagram, Neighbours revealed that Paul Robinson’s daughter Elle was returning to Ramsay Street, with Jansen taking over the role from Pippa Black.
They captioned the post: “Elle Robinson returns! Now played by Elise Jansen, Paul’s daughter will soon be arriving on Ramsay Street, but what’s brought her back after all this time?

“Elle’s dramatic storyline is set to take us right up to our nail biting finale…”
Finally, Sam Kratz, played by Richard Grieve, returns to Ramsay Street and clashes with ex-wife Annalise Hartman. When Annalise recently returned, she confirmed that she and Sam had broken up.
Previously speaking about the last ever episode of the Aussie soap, which is set to air in December, boss Jason Herbison told The Age: “I am ending it in a way that sets up future chapters.”
