Today, Doug Willis sadly passed away.

Here is the moment Doug moved to Ramsay street in one of his first episodes

Pam is arrested for murder

This is the moment Doug breaks the news to Gaby & Brad that Pam has been arrested

Jim and Doug get lost in the bush....nevermind, Doug finds some mushrooms to snack on

Doug, Lauren, Gaby, Pam, and Beth among others featured in the iconic 2000th episode in 1993

In 2005 Doug Willis and Philip Martin returned to share stories of their fun past in Ramsay Street

In 2014 he returned again, but sadly, he wasn't as sharp as before

So sad, I was crying like a baby. Definitely a Neighbours legend lost.

'I don't want charity' is still an occasional catchphrase around our place - When Doug's building firm went bust and he was looking for work he would insist 'Hey, I don't want charity'.

Sorry if this has already been asked but does anyone know the name of the song playing as Doug died and his ghost appeared? Beautifully done, he looked happy to know he'd reunited Brad and Ned, his good deed was done and he could leave peacefully.

Agreed. I'd love to be able to really get back into the show but I just can't. Doug's death and the hotel storyline were good though, aswell and Madge and Harold's return for the 30th anniversary. R.I.P Doug.

Agreed. It used to be so funny and eccentric. Now it's so bland. This week has been good though.

I think that's true of all the soaps to be fair.
