Neighbours fans make jokes over why Kylie Minogue said very little during soap's epic finale

Neighbours fans saw Kylie Minogue make an emotional return to Ramsay Street for the soap's last ever episode - but later joked about why she said so little during the show.

The finale aired on Friday night, featuring an hour-long special with Hollywood stars Guy Pearce and Margot Robbie, and singers Delta Goodrem, Holly Valance and Natalie Imbruglia making appearances. Kylie, 54, played Charlene Robinson between 1986 and 1988, and 19.8 million UK viewers tuned in to watch the character tie the knot with Scott Robinson, played by Jason Donovan, in November 1988.

As Scott and Charlene arrived on the street in the final episode, Especially for You - their duet as Kylie and Jason - was heard playing on the radio. And when they stopped and pulled up, they remarked on all the for sale signs on the houses.

Declaring they're home, Scott leaned in to kiss Charlene on the head in a sweet moment. "Wow wow wow," Scott said as they stepped out of the car, "This is crazy. We made it eh?" Charlene then declares: "Home sweet home."

However, Charlene's only other audible word in the cameo appearance was when she exclaimed "Harold!" after seeing fan favourite Harold Bishop. Now Neighbours fans have been joking about the reasons why she spoke so little, reports The Mirror.

One person wrote on Twitter : "Was Kylie's fee per word too high or did she not have much time to rehearse? She barely spoke!" Another quipped: "Kylie Minogue definitely got paid by the word there didn’t she" followed by a crying laughing emoji.

A third fan said: "Wondering how much Kylie Charged per word for them to literally give her two words to say the whole episode." A fourth viewer commented: "Kylie is clearly far too famous to be expected to learn any lines."

Neighbours has been a hugely popular show in the UK since its inception in 1985 but it was confirmed earlier this year that the soap would come to an end this summer.
