But although theyโ€™ve come and gone, many have stayed in our hearts over the years.

Here, we look back at our favourite on-screen romances.

Charlene & Scott (1986 โ€“ 1989)

Boy-next-door Scott Robinson (Jason Donovan) and tomboy Charlene Mitchell (Kylie Minogue) were together both on screen and off.

Sadly, Scott and Charlene left Ramsay Street, although their kids, Daniel (Tim Phillipps) and Madison (Sarah Ellen), have both popped up in Erinsborough.

Daphane & Des (1986 โ€“ 1988)

These laid-back lovers were early fan favourites.

Daphne Lawrence (Elaine Smith) was the โ€œstripper with a heart of goldโ€ hired to perform at Des Clarkeโ€™s (Paul Keane) stag party.

The two married and had a son, Jamie โ€“ Ramsay Streetโ€™s first baby.

Paul & Gail (1984 โ€“ 1989)

Playboy Paul dated many, many women, but few could match him the way Gail Lewis (Fiona Corke) did.

Paul hired Gail to work with him โ€“ and they entered into a marriage of convenience to impress a client and later split up.

They reunited in 2005, but the spark had well and truly gone.

Joe & Kerry (1989 โ€“ 1990)

Typical Aussie bloke Joe Mangel (Mark Little) and hippie-with-a-cause Kerry Bishop (Linda Hartley-Clark) became fan favourites almost as soon as they got together.

When Kerry was killed by a stray bullet during a duck-hunting protest, there were plenty of tears, particularly over Markโ€™s heartbreaking portrayal.

Tomboy Beth Brennan (Natalie Imbruglia) and larrikin Brad Willis (Scott Michaelson) were meant for one another, but their romance was rocky.

First, Bradโ€™s affair with Lauren (Sarah Vandenbergh) was exposed on their wedding day.

Then, Beth fell for older man Phil (Ian Rawlings). But fate drew the two back together and they married.
