Neighbours legend Madge Bishop to return for show finale – 21 years after character’s death
NEIGHBOURS legend Madge Bishop is set to reappear in Ramsay Street — as a ghost.
She will feature in the Aussie soap’s final episode alongside a string of stars.
Madge, played by Anne Charleston, was wed to Harold and mum to Kylie Minogue’s character Charlene.
She was an Erinsborough favourite before dying of pancreatic cancer in 2001.
Anne, 79, was recently back on set to film her scene for Friday’s finale on Channel 5.
Lucinda Cowden, 57, who plays Melanie Pearson in the show, told Inside Soap magazine: “I bumped into her and it was amazing.”

A source said: “There was no-way that someone as iconic and legendary as Madge wasn’t going to be seen in the soap’s final ever episode.
“It was just about how they could have her back when her death was such a huge part of the show’s history. It’s very clever.
"The fans are going to get goosebumps — it’s magical."
In 2015 Madge appeared as a vision to Harold for the soap’s 30th anniversary.
