Louise Bernard, with Alexis Patri
Before becoming a world pop star, Kylie Minogue had become a celebrity on the small screen in Australia thanks to her role as Charlene in the series “Neighbours”, which she had played between 1986 and 1988. She will resume, the time of an episode, this role in the soap opera which had launched his career.
She left the series in 1988. Kylie Minogue will return to the Australian soap opera Neighbors. It was with her role as Charlene, which she played in this soap opera for two seasons, that the Australian became famous in her country. At only 20 years old, she left the program to start singing and release her first album, Kylie. 34 years later, the one who has since become a world star will make an appearance again in the very last episode of this soap opera.
The end of a cult series
Because the series Neighbors launched in March 1985, which continued to unfold its plot without Kylie Minogue, is about to stop. Its final episode will be broadcast next August. In 37 years of existence, the soap opera has marked the small Australian screen, but also British, to the point of becoming cult. But his audience had been eroding for several years.
In addition to these recurring characters, Neighbors hosted many Anglo-Saxon stars, often for one or two episodes. Among them, Chris Lowe of the group Pet Shop Boys, Emma Bunton of the Spice Grils, the singer Lily Allen, the American star Paula Abdul, but also the violinist and conductor André Rieu.
