Takaya Honda's last Neighbours scenes as David aired at the start of this month. It was always the plan for David to die after a few months back in the show, as Takaya wanted to give his character a final send-off.

Matt Wilson, who plays Aaron, recently said: "Aaron and David have been together longer than I, Matt, have been with my wife, so that says a lot.

"Our characters have been through lots of ups and downs and we've always worked through it, and I think the only way for our characters to go apart is if one of us has to kick the bucket. It's incredibly dramatic.

"It's incredibly emotional, not only for the characters, but for us as the actors, because Takaya and I have had such a good mate-ship ever since we've been here. We really understand each other."

Neighbours airs these scenes on Tuesday, February 20.

Neighbours releases new episodes from Mondays to Thursdays for free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. In Australia, the show airs from Mondays to Thursdays at 4pm on Channel 10, with a 6.30pm repeat screening on 10 Peach.
