Some of them could have done with badges on. Took me absolutely ages to recognise Karl, have him and Susan stayed in it then, or made a recent return? Toadie didn't look any older. It was a perfectly cheesy ending to a cheesy show.

I didn't know Delta Goodrem and Holly Vallance were in the show, but maybe after I stopped watching it, or minor characters I didn't connect when they became pop stars? They were huge characters and Delta played Nina who became a famous singer in-show. Her debut real world single was part of the show. I'd argue neither would have had the level of success they had without Neighbours (especially Vallance!). Technically Born to Try wasn't Delta's debut single, as her debut was a minor hit in Australia which peaked at #64 a year before she joined neighbours.
Arguably, all the actors turned singers wouldn't have have the success without Neighbours - the exceptions possibly being Delta and Kylie, who I think would still have multi-platinum albums in their own right.

Your extra evidence would seem to cast doubt on Delta's clout without the show... I really can't see Kylie having made it without the love people had for Charlene. SAW wouldn't have worked with her either.

SAW wouldn't have worked with her either. I did think I was contradicting myself when I wrote that but there was good reason to. Delta's debut song (I Don't Care) is far different to the songs from her first album and the songs she sung on neighbours. It was a very Britney-esque, Xtina-esque bubblegum pop song. Not sure what promotion it had, if any. If she wasn't in neighbours, given with a bit of promotion (which is essentially free on Neighbours), I still think she would have done well, as it's still a good album in its own right. Very much a "What If" scenario though. Natalie Imbruglia is another one to throw in as an exception with her nominations at the Grammy's - given that most Americans have never heard of Neighbours.

Natalie has definitely escaped the past the most but I still wonder if she'd ever have managed to get her break without the show. I hadn't realised how long it took her (practically 3 years!) until I watched that special after the finale.

Yeah I saw that and such was the success of Torn and the gap between her leaving Neighbours to Torn being released, I think Natalie would have succeeded even without the show, far more than Kylie or Delta.
When I first listened to Torn, I didn't realise she was in Neighbours. If we use how Neighbours stars success in the US as an indicator, the stats will say Natalie had a better "early" career there.
