There’s no doubt thatRound The Twistis one of the most iconic Australian children’s shows of our times.

And although there were four seasons of the show, where are the stars of the third and fourth season? The ones who spent so much time on our screens only to disappear without a trace?

Bronson Twist (Mathew Waters)

Of almost anyone in the cast of his series ofRound the Twist, Bronson has had the most sparkling career in the industry. And by the way - he is definitely not little anymore. Mathew Waters is now 27, and if you haven't already fallen off your seat, now lives and works in theatre in London.

AfterRound The Twist, Waters went on to star in shows likeThe Escape of The Artful DodgerandSNOBS. He has tried his hand in musicals, starring in ones likeMameand Oliver! The Musical, before trying his hand at film.

In 2003, he played a role in Peter Pan the movie after film director PJ Hogan had seen him perform on stage. He has appeared in HBO mini seriesThe Pacificand in Canada'sDarwin's Brave New World. In 2015, he played the Cowardly Lion in a production ofThe Wizard of Ozin London.

Linda Twist (Ebonnie Masini)

Ebonnie Masini-Thompson, who played Linda, is now 33 and married. Along with Round the Twist, she appeared inThe Last of the RyansandBlue Heelers.

Soon after appearing in those shows, Masini-Thompson left the acting industry and made her way into fashion. She has worked as a fashion buyer and then fashion illustrator forHarpers Bazaar. More recently, she launched her own luxury sleepwear brand called Masini and Chern,which, if I'm honest, looks quite cool.

Pete Twist (Rian McLean)

OK, yes. The photo on the right isn't of a modern day Pete Twist - or more specifically Rian McLean - because McLean is aghost on the internet.

Although McLean went on to appear onHome and Away, Neighboursand Channel 9's drama seriesStingers, he seemingly disappeared from our screens and the industry, retiring from acting soon after.

WHERE ARE YOU, PETE TWIST??!

Tony Twist (Andrew Gilbert)

Andrew S Gilbert has appeared in almost all of the big-name Australian TV shows since his time as Tony Twist inRound the Twist.In 2001 he appeared in Blue Heelers and in 2002 the Rabbit-Proof Fence. In 2004, Gilbert played a role inStingers, in 2005 it wasLook Both Waysand by 2006 he was starring inMcLeod's Daughters.

In more recent years he has had roles inUnderbellyandBackyard Ashes.

Also, by the above photos we're not sure if he, you know... ages.

Harold Gribble (Mark Mitchell)

Evil Harold Gribble who was always trying to kick the Twists out of their beloved lighthouse was played by actor and comedian Mark Mitchell.

Still acting to this day, Mark has had roles inNeighbours,Blue Heelers,The Genie from Down Underand played Chief Quimby in the 2003 monstrosity that wasInspector Gadget 2.

What other 90s shows make you wonder 'where are they now'?
