>:(

'sides, you were all giving short shrift to that OTHER great "Corky" of the 90s:

NB that is NOT a slam at those with Down Syndrome, I dug that show and he was cool on it

BEST SHOW

listen don't even joke about Life Goes On I loved that show a lot which reminds me of someone that should be on here

Dieter Brummer and Dean Cain were big in my school.
I tolerated Jason Donovan because he was occasionally in my Kylie posters but I wasn't really feeling it.

yeah I wasn't big on Jason Donovan

Americans don't even know who Jason Donovan was for the most part.

Which I think is funny considering how famous he was elsewhere.

Harley Cross kinda looks like Darlene

I remember RS being really surprised when he found out I'd never even heard of him until he came up in convo one time (as he does) and I was all like, who dat?

Jason Donovan did inspire our local kebab van, Jason Donervan

OMG THAT IS FANTASTIC

hahaha that is the best

Where is that?? Would make pilgramage to Jason Donervan for chips. May I post that on my FB? I know some ppl would would get a big kick out of that.

grimage not gramage obv

Go ahead! it's in the fine city of Bristol

<3 it

They need a Kylie Min-Hoagie van beside it

that is awesome

This list was definitely made by either a British or Australian person btw.

I have just spent altogether too long trying to remember the name of the 16th-rate British soap star that all my friends cut out pictures of from TV Hits every week. I would like my brain back now please.

Anyway if it's British I'm still the wrong age since I haven't heard of half these guys and there is not enough Sean Maguire or Lee from Let Loose for it to be from my era of TV Hits UK. Prob not enough Craig McLachlan for it to be Australian and my era either.

Also, OMG, got to see how big a detour that is from our usual annual route to Bristol Airport

absence of Alex Papps leads me to believe this was not compiled by an Australian person

Paul Nicholls?

Cursory research leads me to believe she's actually american - oops. That said, she definitely had at least some sort of foreign input.

Yeah I hardly recognise any of these, not many Brits would have seen the vast majority.

so many questions

Yet the presence of neighbors and H&A cast members, Donovan, Peter Andre and several others are very strange from an American perspective. Weird.

I may vote for Damon Pampolina because I read his name and got "Gasolina" stuck in my head

But calling Peter Andre and J-Do 'forgotten' is kind of odd for us, because they're around quite a bit.
I saw Zach Morris on something the other day!

xp: oh god I hadn't his pic before I said that

Alex Papps, for those not in the know

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3c/Frank_Morgan_(Home_and_Away).jpg

In 7th grade school camp one of the girls put a poster of him on our cabin door and everyone had to kiss it as they walked out O_o

But calling Peter Andre and J-Do 'forgotten' is kind of odd for us, because they're around quite a bit

Yeah, that sort of makes it weirder and is definitely true but they aren't over here and never were. Peter Andre was on I'm a celebrity in the jungle when he got together with Katie Price while I was living over there so it was big news and his name was everywhere. I had no clue who he was before then.

The Home and Away and Neighbors casts members are so random and patchy though!

so weird that Peter Andre is still a thing in the UK

Dan, admit it. That outfit is spectacular and not all that dissimilar to the ones you were wearing in certain HS pics floating found these parts.

This list was definitely made by either a British or Australian person btw. A lot of these guys were never famous in the US. For instance I have no idea who Dieter Brummer is because we never got Australian soaps.

Ha, okay, I was about to say that I guess these guys were only famous in the US. So either I'm too young or they're from Australia.

there's only a few Australians -- and only a few brits.

THIS LIST IS A DOG'S BREAKFAST IN ANYONE'S COUNTRY

I NEVER HAD A SHIRT LIKE THAT

I had some jeans with a leather codpiece tho

!!!

I rest my case.

About Dan's codpiece, obv.

they were awesome jeans, I miss them

so weird that Peter Andre is still a thing in the UK

http://2wongs.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/mysterious-girl-cover-of-peter-andre.html

oh no

why would they do that?!

did he dress up as a voodoo priest for the video and chase a pale white girl around a building site?

noooooooooooo aggggh gross

(they wouldn't... it's this awesome duo who also did a bit on Lana del Rey that killed me live, although maybe you had to "be there" (pissed) because I heard it on the radio next day and it was less amazing)

kinder: actually I think I was thinking of Danny Newman (not yet in a soap but I was probably only pretending to know who he was while everyone else was going on about how dreamy he was), but Paul Nicholls is definitely another name I couldn't remember from my class's later TV Hits dissections, yes...

By number of hours spent passing notes back and forth about him in my first year of secondary school, Edward Furlong is the clear winner here.

watched none of his shows, but went with Jason Behr for his ears and pecs.
