Former Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas has shared a final snap with the Neighbours cast as he prepares to say goodbye to Ramsay Street.

The actor, best known for playing Weatherfield's Jason Grimshaw, has spent the past few weeks filming in Melbourne after landing a guest role as Neighbours newbie Rafael Humphreys.

Sadly, Ryan's time on the show is already coming to an end and he's been shooting his final scenes as Rafael over the last fortnight.

"Everybody needs good neighbours" #familygoals thank you guys nothing but absolute love ❤️

Taking to Instagram yesterday, Ryan shared a picture of his big send-off, thanking the cast and crew for all their love and support.

He said: "'Everybody needs good neighbours' #familygoals thank you guys nothing but absolute love."

Prior to wrapping up on Neighbours, the ex-Corrie actor had been busy filming scenes with Matt Wilson, who plays the popular role of Aaron Brennan.

Matt also recently told Digital Spy: "Ryan's a good lad. He's actually staying around the corner from me, so every couple of days, we'll catch up for a coffee or a beer somewhere."

"We're trying to show Ryan around Melbourne, and he even brought the English rugby league team onto set the other day. Tommy Burgess came onto set and a few of the other players, so that was good.

"I think Ryan is comfortable here, but if only we could keep him for a little longer, that would be even better."

Ryan's scenes as Rafael will air on Neighbours in February and March next year.

Although little else is known about the character at the moment, he has been described as a loner with dark secrets, who comes to Ramsay Street to confront a difficult chapter from his past.

Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5.
