Part Two: The cast who released singles only
Stefan Dennis
Paul Robinson
In 1989, when Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan were enjoying mega success, Dennis released the infamous Don't It Make You Feel Good, whose accompanying video clip has developed a higher cult status than the song itself. Stefan in a leather jacket surrounded by dry ice. You can't really go wrong. After his second single reached the giddy heights of Number 67, Stefan quit music and, thankfully, hasn't made another record since.

Anne Charleston and Ian Smith
Madge and Harold Bishop
A spoof Christmas record was released in 1989 under the name "Harold and Madge". The video clip featured the two of them snuggled up by a roaring log fire. Yes, it was that bad.

Gayle and Gillian Blakeney
Christina and Caroline Alessi
Under the guise "The Twins", the girls released a song on the PWL label which, surprisingly, failed to chart. Their next two singles peaked at Numbers 75 and 62 respectively. There was, surprisingly, no follow up album.

Dan Falzon
Rick Alessi
Falzon and his band were tipped for big things in the UK and Australia because of their conventionally attractive appearance and easy pop music. However, a hit single never appeared, and Falzon now runs his own production company.
