Never even heard of it

If you've seen an Aussie actor, there's probably a 30-50% chance they've been on either (or sometimes both) Neighbours or Home & Away. They're the two main Aussie soap dramas. Chris Hemsworth, Margot Robbie, Isla Fisher, Samara Weaving, Jesse Spencer (Chase from House M.D.), Kylie Minogue, Russell Crowe were all on one or both of the shows when starting out. And while there are Aussie actors who weren't on either show, like Hugh Jackman, Cate Blanchett, Nicole Kidman, Eric Bana, etc, it's still a pretty common show for actors to cut their teeth on and prove their acting skills.

I was never a fan of either show, but seeing something like Neighbours come to an end? It's still the end of an era, especially with nearly 9000 episodes.
