Both Home and Away and Neighbours have seen former stars go on to huge success – but it was sadly a different story for Summer Bay's Ben Unwin, who played the soap's Jesse McGregor
Two of the biggest successes are clearly Neighbours alumni Kylie Minogue – the highest-selling Australian recording artist of all time, with more than 80 million albums sold worldwide – and Margot Robbie , star of the runaway movie success Barbie, that's broken 17 box office records to date.
Yet sadly both Aussie soaps have also seen some of their stars be far less lucky, including actor Ben Unwin, who played bad boy Jesse McGregor in Home and Away from 1996 to 2000 and again from 2002 to 2005. Aboriginal tribes in Australia believe the isolated 300ft Minon Falls in Whian Whian are "cursed" and have "bad spirits", having claimed many lives.
Meanwhile, Neighbours' original Scott Robinson, played by Darius Perkins before Jason Donovan took the role, sadly died in 2019 after a battle with cancer.
