Fletcher teases 'Neighbours' wedding

Neighbours star Alan Fletcher has promised that the soap's latest wedding will be a "joyous" occasion.

Earlier this month, it was revealed that Ringo Brown (Sam Clark) and Donna Freedman (Margot Robbie) are to tie the knot in the show's 6,000th episode after two years as on-off lovers.

Speaking to Holy Soap, Fletcher confirmed that his character Karl Kennedy will attend the couple's big day and be involved "in a surprising manner - certainly in a way he wasn't expecting".

He explained: "The good thing about weddings on Ramsay Street is nothing goes according to plan and this one's no different. But the really nice thing about weddings is that ultimately they are some of the most joyous experiences on the programme."

Fletcher added that episode 6,000 will also feature an event that is "not so joyous" for one character, as he previously teased on Live From Studio Five this week.

He said: "If you haven't been watching Neighbours for a while, you need to start tuning in now to prepare yourself for the 6,000th episode, when things really hot up."
