Booming star Craig McLachlan had a busy career in the late 80s playing Henry Ramsay on the soap Neighbours. When he left the series in 1989, he spent his time in the recording studio with his band Check 1-2 to churn out a pop-rock album, while at the same time, winning a Gold Logie award for Most Popular Personality.
