Alan Fletcher makes EastEnders cameo for touching tribute to Neighbours
Both soaps started in 1985.
As Neighbours comes to an end, BBC soap EastEnders has shared a lovely tribute video thanking it for 37 years of service.
To kick off the sweet film, none other than Alan Fletcher himself turned up in the Bridge Street cafe asking for a cab!
Linda Carter (played by Kellie Bright) was sitting in the cafe lamenting the loss of Neighbours, explaining how she loved catching up with them all chilling in the sunshine.
Enter Karl Kennedy actor Fletcher, leaving Linda completely starstruck and asking for a selfie!
