Soap Scoop | Takaya Honda & Matt Wilson on Grief, Closure and Saying Goodbye to Neighbours

In this episode of Inside Soap’s Soap Scoop, Chloe sits down with Neighbours favourites Takaya Honda and Matt Wilson – better known to fans as David and Aaron – for an honest, funny and deeply emotional chat about life after Ramsay Street. From launching their new podcast Bin Night, to watching the Neighbours finale, grieving David’s death, and navigating Aaron’s farewell, Tak and Matt open up about what it really felt like to say goodbye to a show – and characters – that changed their lives. They reflect on the intense fan reaction, the strange reality of watching your on-screen husband move on, and why leaving Neighbours felt “like a breakup”. Plus: behind-the-scenes stories from Ramsay Street, the Neighbours storylines they’d happily bin, Aaron’s most frustrating traits, Paul Robinson’s many sins, and the joy of working with their on-screen daughter Isla. Packed with humour, warmth, nostalgia and candid reflection, this is a must-listen for Neighbours fans – and anyone who’s ever struggled to let go of a show that felt like family. ⸻ CHAPTER LIST 00:00 – Intro: Neighbours icons Takaya Honda & Matt Wilson join Soap Scoop 00:08 – Meet Tak & Matt: David & Aaron reunite on Soap Scoop 00:26 – What is Bin Night?
