Shortly after her arrival, Kylie began an on and off-screen romance with co-star Jason Donovan, who played Scott Robinson, which gained the couple an army of adoring fans. Jason Donovan After his stint as Scott, singer and actor Jason became an international popstar and had his pick acting of roles. He moved to the U.K., married, had children and has since starred in over a dozen West End show, most notably Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat. Alan Dale New Zealand born actor Alan was one of Neighbours 12 original cast members having made his debut as Jim Robinson on the soap's first episode on 18 March 1985. As the head of the Robinson clan, widower Jim lived at Number 26 Ramsay Street with his children Paul, Julie, Scott and Lucy, and was a real anchor in the community. He stayed with the show for eight years, before his character was killed off in dramatic scenes aired in 1993 but which still reverberate through the soap to this day. Margot Robbie Way before she was Barbie or Harley Quinn, Margot was best known as Ramsay Street resident Donna Freedman. Her notable storylines included her marriage to Ringo Brown and becoming a young widow following his tragic death. After three years she bid farewell to the soap and Australia with a plan to make a name for herself in Hollywood which she did when she bagged the role of Naomi Lapaglia opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street. Jesse Spencer Jesse rocked up on Ramsay street in 1994 with the rest of the Kennedy clan. He stayed for five years, literally growing up in front of the camera, but in 2000 felt it was time to spread his wings and head for Hollywood. It was certainly a smart move as he went on to bag leading roles in popular shows like House and Chicago Fire. Russell Crowe New Zealand-native Russell had a brief arc on Neighbours, appearing in four episodes of the soap 1987 as Kenny Larkin, the former cellmate of Street resident Henry Ramsay. The role obviously got him noticed though because he quickly went on to become a fully-fledged Hollywood A-lister, winning the Best Actor Oscar for his standout performance as Roman General Maximus Decimus Meridius in Gladiator. 8 Dannii starred on Home And Away between 1989 and 1990 Credit: Rex Features 8 The singer went onto have major success in the showbiz industry Credit: Getty 8 She was known for her stint as a judge on The X Factor Credit: Rex 8 Her stint on the ITV talent competition was engulfed by rumours of a feud with Sharon Osbourne Credit: Rex

Triple J's Hottest 100 Australian Songs divides fans with iconic number one pick: 'Your ears are painted on'
Triple J 's Hottest 100 Australian Songs wrapped with an iconic hit on Saturday night, but not everyone was happy to hear the Down Under classic take the crown. Never Tear Us Apart by INXS took the number one spot, beating out The Nosebleed Section by Hilltop Hoods and Untouched by The Veronicas. While most took to social media to praise the 1987 single, a few others seemed to think there were more deserving Aussie artists who didn't get a spot on the list. 'NOLLSY WAS ROBBED AGAIN,' one person raged, referencing singer-songwriter Shannon Noll who shot to fame as runner-up on Australian Idol in 2003. 'How is there no Sia in the top 100? Chandelier? Soon We'll Be Found?' said another. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. A third pointed out 'genre defining song' (I'm) Stranded by The Saints and Wide Open Road by The Triffids as 'an iconic aural representation of our country'. 'Neither got in the top 100 Australian songs. Australia, your ears are officially painted on,' they added. 'Well, it's been fun... somewhat. Goodnight,' commented another. While there were some naysayers online, the majority of X users appeared to agree INXS, fronted by the late Michael Hutchence in its heyday, deserved the win. 'I can ABSOLUTELY live with this. What a f***ing great song. We made it guys! Thanks for an awesome day, it's gone down as one of the great ones,' wrote one. 'COP THAT YOU GEN Z D***HEADS! INXS! GREATEST EVER,' commented another passionate listener. A third added: 'Rest in peace, Michael. Cheers to the excellentness [sic] of Australian music.' 'Never Tear Us Apart by INXS is just amazing... no way to really describe it. Poetic and [the] music is fire,' someone else noted. 'R.I.P. Michael. I wish you could hear that Australia loved this song so much still!' they added. Never Tear Us Apart, as the most popular pick of 2.64 million votes, officially emerged as the best Australian song of all time on Saturday night. It comes after INXS shot back onto the music charts in May, more than a decade after the iconic Australian band broke up. The group stormed the UK charts thanks to the 40th Anniversary re-release of their breakthrough, fifth studio album Listen Like Thieves. Originally released in October 1985, the album was the first by the band to make its mark on a global scale. Listen Like Thieves boasted a number of successful singles, including the title track and Kiss the Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain). This Time was also a hit, as well as What You Need, which peaked at No.2 in Australia and No.5 on Billboard's Hot 100 at the time of its release. The Listen Like Thieves re-release topped four separate rankings in the UK earlier this year, most of which did not exist when the record was originally released. While most took to social media to praise the 1987 single, a few others seemed to think there were more deserving Aussie artists who didn't get a spot on the list It immediately became INXS' highest-ever peak on the Official Album Sales chart, debuting at No.16. The band had been together for 35 years when drummer Jon Farriss made the announcement INXS would no longer be touring together in November 2012. They were supporting Matchbox Twenty at Perth Arena when the announcement was made. 'We've done the album like a live show and what is there is there,' frontman Michael Hutchence told Rolling Stone in 1985. 'We want to present this record as a band—the idea of six people playing together and using traditional sounds.' Never-before-heard INXS demos, featuring vocals from the late frontman, were released to mark the milestone 40th anniversary. The extra tracks were released on May 9 as part of the reissue of the rockers' 1985 album, which reached number one in Australia. Among the unreleased songs was a candid studio moment where Michael's charismatic voice echoed through early takes of their '80s hit track This Time. The anniversary edition reignited nostalgia and appreciation for INXS' enduring legacy, under the guidance of executive music producer Giles Martin. INXS continued to perform with lead singer Michael Hutchence until his tragic death in Sydney in 1997 aged 37, where he committed suicide in a hotel room. Michael died at Sydney's Ritz Carlton, now known as the Intercontinental Hotel Double Bay, while depressed and under the influence of alcohol and drugs. A post-mortem examination found alcohol, cocaine, codeine, Prozac, Valium and other prescribed benzodiazepines—or 'benzos'—in Michael's urine and blood. In late 1995, Michael told British music magazine Vox: 'I don't wanna be a f***ing cliche. I don't need to be dropping off in a hotel bath. 'I've come close, though. I'm surprised I've survived and so are a lot of my friends.' The Australian group was one of the world's most successful rock bands in the late '80s. Following their formation in 1977, they stormed the charts with songs including Need You Tonight, Good Times, New Sensation and Kick. They are one of Australia's highest-selling bands of all time, with over 50 million albums sold worldwide. Their 2011 greatest hits album has spent a record 623 weeks on the ARIA top 100 albums chart. Its success followed the release of the 2014 Channel Seven mini-series about the band called Never Tear Us Apart.
