Introducing the video was Jackie Woodburne, who plays Susan Kennedy, with the actor saying: “Very special day. The last Eirini Rising scene. And we’ve got our whole ensemble resident cast here.”
Alan Fletcher, who plays Karl Kennedy, added: “We know how much the audience have loved seeing the residents of Eirini and the great thing, I think, is that it’s given some of Australia’s finest actors an opportunity to appear on screen and for you to get to see their wonderful work.”
Speaking in the emotional farewell video, Vera Punt actor Sally-Anne Upton said: “Having a storyline about the elderly is really important because everybody’s dealing with that with their parents.”
In the video, Robyn Arthur (who plays Moira Tohu), Dennis Coard (who plays Monte Jones), Anne Scott-Pendlebury (who plays Hilary Robinson) and Shane McNamara (who plays Gino Esposito) also bid farewell to the soap.

In Wednesday’s episode and the gang’s last ever scene, Vera and Moira’s rivalry over newcomer Monte’s feelings spiralled out of control so Colton was forced to intervene by organising a pottery session.
Vera and Moira had a heart-to-heart and decided that their friendship came first, telling Monte that he would not be romancing either of them, which was good news for him as he was actually interested in Hilary.
