The longest lived television series in Australia. Neighbors "is the longest aired television drama in Australia, entering its 17th year of production, telling the story of the lives and dramas of Ramsey Street residents. Ramsey Street is a quiet dead end in the fictional Melbourne suburb of Ellinsborough. The drama initially focused on the families of Ramsey, Robinson, and Clark, but later gained international fame in the late 1980s, when Scott Robinson and Charlene Mitchell got married after a love affair that captured the hearts of millions of viewers. Other characters at the time were also popular, including the meddlesome resident of this street, Mrs. Mangle, widower Jim Robinson, his ruthless merchant son Paul, and the irritable Harold Bishop, legendary figures who later married the serious Mickey Ramsey - the name of this street comes from Jack Ramsey's granddaughter. Over the years, hundreds of characters came and went, and as the original family developed, other families replaced them, including the Willis family, Stark family, and Martin family, as well as later the Kennedy family, Scully family, and Hancock family. For many years, the program's female parent was Helen Daniels, a charming old lady who always offered advice and support to the residents on the spot, drinking a cup of herbal tea, until she died in 1997 after 12 years on the program.
