The soap follows the daily lives of several families who live in Ramsay Street, Erinsborough, including the usual soap events of births, deaths, and marriages. The show features a regular turnover of attractive young actors mixed in with the more stable cast of older people.
Many successful Australian actors and singers had some of their earliest work on Neighbours, including Kylie Minogue, [Guy Pearce]?, and [Natalie Imbruglia]?.
The show is also popular in the United Kingdom, and has been sold to networks in many countries.
