It’s been over two decades since one of Neighbours’ most unforgettable feuds unfolded on Ramsay Street, but fans still can’t get enough.
A resurfaced video of the dramatic face-off between Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne) and Izzy Hoyland (Natalie Bassingthwaighte) has sent viewers on a nostalgia trip, reminding everyone why this iconic moment had them glued to their screens.
The Love Triangle That Had Viewers Hooked
Back in the day, millions of fans tuned in as Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher) left his long-time wife, Susan, for the glamorous and manipulative Izzy.
But as fate would have it, Karl came crawling back, leading to a fiery exchange between his two leading ladies.
The tension hit its peak when Izzy confronted Susan on her front lawn, claiming that she had no right to steal another woman’s man. But Susan wasn’t about to back down.
With her signature wit and biting sarcasm, she delivered a takedown so brutal it still echoes in the minds of longtime fans.
A War of Words on Ramsay Street
Susan’s savage one-liners in the scene remain legendary.
“I would have thought your looks would have kept Karl amused longer than this,” she taunted, before twisting the knife with: “I suppose that’s why girls like you just run around so much—just no conversation.”
Not one to stay silent, Izzy snapped back, accusing Susan of being jealous.
But Susan, ever composed, responded with an icy smirk: “We all know you can rant and rave.
What we want to know is, can you fetch and beg?”
The drama didn’t stop there. Susan warned Izzy about her reckless romantic choices, leaving her with a chilling final remark: “These little affairs have a way of getting out… almost as if they’re written in the sky.”
Fans Relive the Epic Showdown
The resurfaced clip has taken social media by storm, with fans flooding the comments section to reminisce about the legendary scene.
One Instagram user joked, “If I lived on Ramsay Street, I’d just sit outside and wait for the drama to unfold.”
Others praised Susan’s masterful comeback, with one fan declaring, “Sick burn from Susan!” Another added, “I want to go back to the 2000s just to watch this era of Neighbours again.”
Of course, not everyone was convinced that Karl was worth all the drama.
“The collective ‘YEAH SUSAN’ from Australian households at that time… All over that bloody lame Karl,” one viewer quipped.
Where Are They Now?
Natalie Bassingthwaighte, now 49, left Neighbours in 2006 to pursue a music career, later finding success with her solo album 1000 Stars. Meanwhile, Jackie Woodburne has remained a stalwart of the series since 1994, continuing to be a fan favorite.
The End of an Era for Neighbours
Sadly, the nostalgia trip comes with bittersweet news. After nearly 40 years on air, Neighbours is set to end production in 2025.
The show faced its first cancellation in 2022 when UK broadcaster Channel 5 pulled funding.
A star-studded final episode featuring Margot Robbie, Jason Donovan, Kylie Minogue, and Guy Pearce became a massive hit, drawing in millions of viewers.
Just months later, Amazon Freevee swooped in to give the series a second life, with a reboot premiering in September 2023.
However, with Amazon shutting down its Freevee service, the beloved Australian soap will officially bid farewell at the end of 2025.
For fans who grew up watching the drama, romance, and over-the-top confrontations of Ramsay Street, this marks the end of an incredible era.
But if Susan Kennedy’s legendary showdown with Izzy proves anything, it’s that Neighbours’ most unforgettable moments will live on forever in the hearts of fans.
