Neighbours was a springboard for successful Aussie actors in the 40 years that it was on our screens.
Kylie Minogue, Margot Robbie and Jason Donovan are often names that come to mind when it comes to hitting the big time after their stint on Ramsay Street.
The soap was pulled in June this year after it had it funding pulled by Channel 5, which left the programme unable to continue financially.
“Despite an extensive search for alternative funding, we simply have no option but to rest the show,” a statement for the show read.
“To our amazing, loyal fans, we know this is a huge disappointment, as it is to all of us on the team. We thank you for all your messages and support and promise to end the show on an incredible high. From here on, we are celebrating Neighbours.”
There are plenty more Hollywood A Listers who have appeared on the show – one in particular who tops Kylie when it comes to the Neighbours rich list.
