From Oscar-winning Russell Crowe and critically-acclaimed Margot Robbie to all three Hemsworth brothers
Back in 1985, we were first introduced to the fictional suburb of Erinsborough and decades later, we still remember the highs and lows of the Ramsay Street residents and the incredible storylines they have been a part of. For us Brits watching on the other side of the globe, Neighbours originally aired twice a day on BBC 1, moving to Channel 5 in later years.
Originally portrayed as an obsessive fan of musician Ty Harper, Donna went on to marry boyfriend Ringo, but their love story was cut short when Ringo was tragically killed. After his death, Donna decided to follow her dream of working in fashion, heading for a design school in New York. Although only appearing on the show for two years before hitting international fame as a pop star, Kylie's character and on-screen romance with Scott Robinson, played by Jason Donovan, captured many hearts. Charlene and Scott's wedding episode was watched by 20 million viewers worldwide when it aired.
Jason Donovan’s appearance at Liverpool club Quadrant Park in 1989 caused mass hysteria among the young women of Merseyside – and the St John Ambulance staff had their hands full dealing with an overdose of adoration. Jason later became a star of musical theatre, becoming well known for playing the role of Joseph in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.
After leaving Erinsborough in 1994, Natalie released her record breaking single Torn, which topped the charts in 1998.

Liam auditioned for the role of Marvel's Thor, but lost out to older brother Chris.

Best friends with Charlene Mitchell and Scott Robinson, Guy's character left Erinsborough in 1989 after nearly three years on the show. He also played David Croft on rival soap Home and Away from 1991 to 1992 and since then has become an international star.
