Another said: "I understand that they'll be graduating and probably don't want the actors to get older and still be playing teens, but damn! I'll miss this show a lot

"I think it'd be cool if they cycled in younger cast members and let us follow their stories - similar to what Skins and Degrassi did."

A third posted: "I was happy when I saw season three until I saw it was the final"

Another begged: "Please let it be a longer season then"

Heartbreak High originally ran from 1994 to 1999 across seven series, following the lives of students and staff at a multicultural Sydney high school.
