Many people were shocked over just how different Harold looks now, with one writing: "Harold is barely recognisable now"
Madge died from terminal cancer in Harold's arms, leaving the soap in 2001.
After her death, she made an appearance for the soap's 30-year anniversary in 2015.
Ian left Neighbours in 1991 before heading back in 1996.

He left again in 2009 but has since appeared again in brief stints in 2011 and 2015 for the 30th anniversary.
He admitted it was strange being back on set, telling Nadia: "It's very strange, the service is gone down, we ordered a coffee about half an hour ago. But no, look, it's really lovely."
Harold famously disappeared off a cliff back but was brought back from the dead by public demand.

However, Ian admitted there is no way back for the pair now after Madge's death.
After she died, Harold had a vision about Madge and helped him move on from her death.
Speaking about the scene, with Nadia, Anne said: "We don't know whether I was a ghost or a figment of his imagination, we can't decide."
