Iconic Aussie soaps Home and Away and Neighbours have long been the breeding ground for some seriously major talent with the likes of Kylie Minogue, Chris Hemsworth, Isabel Lucas and Melissa George all starting out on one of these famed shows. But for some Aussie actors, they managed to grace both Neighbours ' Erinsborough and Home and Away's Summer Bay with their presence over the years. Playing host to everyone from Jodi Gordon to Guy Pearce, these iconic Aussie soap operas are seemingly a rite of passage from some of the country's most famous actors.
Keep scrolling as we take a look at the stars who have nabbed roles in both Home and Away and Neighbours. He was eventually killed off in a dramatic hotel explosion but fans rejoiced when it was announced in that the actor would be joining Home and Away. Well you can stop scratching your head about where you recognise him from!

Adopted son Zeke Kinski Matt Werkmeister has already been confirmed as another returnee to mark the occasion. Series producer Jason Herbison added: "We warmly welcome Kym back to the Neighbours family and we are sure audiences will be excited to see Libby back on Ramsay Street. Type keyword s to search. Her character had moved to town to be near her estranged daughter, Cheryl, but she once again decided to leave and neglect her daughter.
Since then, Moya had smaller roles on All Saints and other Australian hits, but her filmography list does not span as long as other successful stars from the soap opera. Stuart Packer will be best remembered on Neighbours for changing lovers as many times as he changed jobs — and there were many.
However, his character is nothing like his real-life persona, and McDonough is happily married and a father of two. Tim Phillipps was one of the young actors to join the show and his stint on Neighbours was his first big acting credit.
Coming to Erinsborough as Daniel Robinson in , Phillips is now in his early forties 10 years later. The former Neighbours star continues to act and has had a recurring role on the hit series Once Upon A Time for the last five years — playing the dreamy Prince Thomas.
He is perfectly suited to play a Prince, especially with those piercing, baby blue eyes. Mark Little played the role of Joe Mangel from until , and with his character on the show for 17 years, he was certainly a big feature on Neighbours.
It was also his character which boosted the views of the soap opera in the United Kingdom. Mark did not have any big roles following his role as Joe, but he did continue to act since leaving the show and appeared in minor roles. He is an award-winning actor and comedian, and he married a collaborator who put his shows together.
Producers did not even have the actor audition for the role, and he was lucky to have been given the role because he gained more than just a job from their decision to cast him. In fact, the Swedish actor met his future wife on set! Before arriving at Erinsborough, Hoflin was already known after starring in Ocean Girl , and he still acts on shows such as Alcatraz, Touch , and Supernatural.
The name Hoflin may already sound familiar, and that is because Natalie Hoflin decided to take her married name after marrying her Neighbours co-star, David Hoflin. Before their relationship, Natalie went by her maiden name, Blair, and from until , she was best known for her on-screen character, Carmella.
Although Carmella and Oliver do not have a romantic relationship on-screen, it was sure to fans delight that the pair developed one in real life because they do make a beautiful couple. Eve Morey won the role of Sonya Mitchell on Neighbours and had to deal with her fair share of problems on the show, in which she still makes regular appearances.
Perhaps not as hated as some of the other female characters, like many soap opera characters, Mitchell still had her own personal demons which she played out in her storyline.
However, in a strange turn, but not surprising for soap operas, Humphrys later returned to the show as a different character. Ian Smith returned to Neighbours as Harold Bishop for four different plot lines over the thirty years the soap opera has been on the air.
He was the good one in Erinsborough, but he seemed to rub Lou Carpenter up the wrong way and perhaps was not as innocent as he wished to come across. Having joined the cast of the series in , Smith is amongst one of the longest-serving actors on the show but left the show in Unlike many of his fellow co-stars, Paul Dawber was famous before taking on the role of Kim Howard in Neighbours. Born in the UK in , Dawber won recognition for his role in Sons and Daughters and joined the Neighbours for eight years until Following the soap drama, he went on to star in Australian police dramas such as Stingers, City Homicide , and Satisfaction.
Showing no signs of slowing down, Dawber has continued to act in movies and short films. Having watched Neighbours , your skin probably crawls when you catch sight of Elle Robinson. There always has to be that one extremely evil lady on the show and Elle certainly was the manipulative and mischievous one.
However, the character was played by Pippa Black, who is actually very sweet in real life. While many may associate her with Elle Robinson, Black eventually left the show in and can be seen on Law and Order and Royal Pains from time to time.
Kristian Schmid joined Neighbours when he was just years-old, taking on the role of Todd Landers in the neighborhood. Since his start in , Kristian has certainly had a successful career. Shane Conor started as a one-off character in a minor appearance on Neighbours , before being given the regular role as builder Joe Scully in He maintained a successful acting career before eventually suffering from substance abuse, which affected his behavior on set.
In fact, Conor was eventually fired from the show after his on-screen wife had made several complaints. Although he had several written warnings, Conor sued for wrongful termination and won the court case.
However, he has not done much acting work since. Jackie Woodburne is undoubtedly one of the longest running female leads on the soap opera. Having starred in Neighbours since , Woodburne has remained loyal to playing the character of Susan Kennedy all this time. While her character may not have been so loyal to all her different husbands, Kennedy has certainly played a big part in bringing the show back to its glory days whenever it has gone through hard times. After all this time, Woodburne has hardly changed either and practically looks the same!
Scott Major was welcomed to Erinsborogough in playing the part of Darren Stark, but then later re-joined the show as Lucas Fitzgerald on the soap opera. He had played the role of Fitzgerald from , but then left the show for good in Rather, Major decided to focus on directing, and admitted that he even directed some of the Neighbours episodes in I also do a lot of writing. A young Leah de Niese joined the Neighbours cast at just years-old. She appeared on the show as Miranda Starvaggi in , and her part was hugely significant for the show, staying on the show until The last recurring role she had was between and when she appeared in several episodes of Twentysomething , and in she appeared in an episode of Scary Endings.
