Australians also have a series called Neighbors, but while in our country Karoly Nemchak and Anita Opel started their careers with the same name, Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue started their careers there, since then the latter can be known more as a pop star than as a character in a TV series.
The Neighbors series, which began in 1987, will end with a double episode on July 29, and although both have left the series in their launch decade, Donovan and Minogue will also appear in a farewell. Jay Pearce, who is also from Australia, will be there with them.
Neighbors was also successful in Australia, but when it began broadcasting in the UK in 1988, it was watched by nearly 20 million viewers. The series has been set in Erinsborough, a fictional suburb of Melbourne, for 37 years.
On Monday, Channel 5 released the first photos of the couple’s performance, and Donovan and Minogue (who played Scott Robinson and Charlene Mitchell, young lovers) also posted about the photoshoot on Twitter:
Both began their pop music careers after leaving the series, and Minogue is still active to this day, but Donovan’s most successful came in the early 1980s and 1990s, when it topped the British charts four times, including Special For You Together. with the singer.
