Scott and Charlene
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Scott Robinson (Jason Donovan) and Charlene Ramsay (Kylie Minogue) were a popular supercouple on the Australian soap opera Neighbours.
Scott met Charlene in 1986 when he mistook her for an intruder at his neighbour Madge Ramsay's house. It turned out that Charlene was Madge's daughter who had just arrived from Queensland. After an initial rocky start, the two fell in love, and even though they faced the respective oppositon of their two families (The Ramsays and the Robinsons had been feuding for years), the two were married in 1987.
The wedding (episode 523) was first broadcast in Australia on 1 July 1987, and in the UK on 8 November 1988. The ballad "Suddenly" by Angry Anderson was played over the ceremony.
The couple was hugely popular with Neighbours fans in both the U.K and Australia, helping the show to gain high ratings after an initial rocky start. Kylie Minogue later went on to have a successful singing career after leaving the show in 1988.
