Neighbours 1987-1989[]
Craig as Henry in Neighbours.
Craig McLachlan joined Neighbours in late 1986 and his first scenes aired in February 1987. Henry Ramsay soon became a hit with fans. One famous scene was the Henry naked episode. In mid to late 1989, Craig left Neighbours and his last scenes aired in Novemebr 1989. Craig had accepted a role in rival show Home And Away.
Home And Away 1990-1991[]
Craig began filming H&A in late 1989, straight after leaving Neighbours and his first episode as Grant debuted on the 13th February 1990. His character has been the butt of jokes due to his famous name, being compared with his namesake character in the UK Cockney soap EastEnders who likes to "get things sorted" with his fists, a far cry from this Grant Mitchell, a teacher. Craig left Home And Away in 1991 after over a year in the show.
In Neighbours, Henry's surname was originally Mitchell but he changed it to Ramsay, after he was estranged from his sleazy father Fred Mitchell. Ramsay was Henry's mother Madge's maiden surname. The H&A producers may have chosen Mitchell for Craig's H&A character due to Henry's surname.
After Neighbours and Home And Away[]
After leaving the 2 teenie soaps centred around hunky teens and fit babes, Craig had a big career. He had roles in Packed To The Rafters, Always Greener and American hit show NCIS.
