Margot Robbie, who played Donna Freedman from 2008 to 2011, and Guy Pearce – Mike Young from 1986 to 1989 – became major Hollywood actors, with Margot currently setting cinema screens alight with her starring role in Barbie, while Guy is known for films including LA Confidential and Memento. Kylie Minogue – who played tomboy mechanic Charlene Mitchell from 1986 to 1988 – of course became a huge chart success, most recently scoring a top 10 hit with Padam Padam.Then there's Craig McLachlan, who played Henry Ramsay in the late 1980s before going on to have a short-lived pop career.
He then trod the boards in musicals, before being accused then acquitted of sexual assault. Not to mention the Alessi twins, played by Gayle and Gillian Blakeney in the 1990s, who now live in California with their partners and children. But one Neighbours star who's trodden a far less star-studded path since leaving the soap in 1995, is Dan Falzon – he starred as floppy-haired high school student Rick Alessi, cousin to the twins.
Dan joined the show in 1992, with Rick arriving in Erinsborough after being thrown out of school. A practical joker who disliked authority, Rick went on to be ostracised by his friends after a pal was killed in a drag race which he'd organised. He turned his back on Ramsay Street in 1995, when a job opportunity at Lassiter's in Darwin beckoned.
