Neighbours is an Australian soap opera that premiered on 18 March 1985. This compilation focuses on characters introduced throughout 1987, all of whom were brought in under the guidance of executive producer Reg Watson. The show's third season commenced on 5 January 1987. Notable additions during this year included Harold Bishop in January; in February, the introduction of Bouncer and Henry Mitchell, who is the son of Madge Mitchell; March saw the arrival of Gail Lewis along with her adoptive father Rob; April featured businessman Mr. Udagawa; and June welcomed Hilary Robinson. July brought new characters such as doctor Beverly Marshall, Gino Rossini, and Melanie Pearson, as well as the birth of Jamie Clarke, child of Des and Daphne Clarke. August introduced Amanda Harris, while September marked the debut of Kenny Larkin, portrayed by Russell Crowe. October saw the addition of Sally Wells and Greg Cooper, with November rounding out the year with athlete Pete Baxter, Des and Sally's father Malcolm Clarke, and mechanic Tony Romeo.

Harold Bishop

Harold Bishop, portrayed by actor Ian Smith, made his first appearance on 30 January 1987. He departed from the series in September 1991 but returned in October 1996, maintaining a significant presence for over twelve years thereafter. In August 2008, Smith announced his exit once again, leading to Harold’s concluding storyline involving cancer, which aired on 27 February 2009. The character was brought back in May 2011 following Smith’s December 2010 announcement of his return. Harold is depicted as "indecisive, considerate, stuffy and reserved." Ian Smith received several award nominations for his portrayal, including "Funniest Performance" at the Inside Soap Awards in both 2007 and 2008, along with a nomination for "Best Actor" in 2008. In 2009, additional nominations followed for "Funniest Performance" and "Best Storyline" related to Harold’s cancer plotline, as well as for "Most Popular Personality" and "Most Popular Actor" at the Logie Awards.

Bouncer

Bouncer made his debut on 4 February 1987 and remained on the show until 12 February 1993, spanning six years. Trained by Luke Hura from a canine talent agency, this golden Labrador was introduced to Neighbours when a puppy was required for the storyline. Remarkably, Bouncer earned between $100,000 and $200,000, a salary exceeding that of many human cast members. His fan cards became the most sought-after among all performers.

One memorable plot involved Bouncer envisioning himself marrying Rosie, the sheepdog belonging to Clarrie McLachlan next door—an unusual narrative twist that cast members considered atypical for the series’ usual style. Thirteen weeks after filming his final scenes, Bouncer passed away at seven years old due to cancer. Following his death, he received more fan tributes globally than any human actor on the show.

Lorna Cooper, editor at MSN TV, identified Bouncer’s dream sequence as one of the strangest storylines in the series, later ranking it as the second "most bizarre" moment in Neighbours history.

Henry Ramsay

Henry Ramsay (also known as Mitchell), portrayed by Craig McLachlan, first appeared on 19 February 1987 and exited on 23 November 1989. McLachlan earned three Logie Awards for this character, including accolades for 'Most Popular Actor' and 'Most Popular Personality'. After Peter O'Brien departed from his role as Shane Ramsay, producers aimed to introduce another attractive male lead to retain female viewers. McLachlan, then aged 21 with limited acting experience, secured the role of Henry Mitchell following an audition. Initially signed for a six-week stint, his contract was extended due to audience acclaim.

Henry was characterized as street-smart, charismatic, and a ladies’ man with a criminal background that caused neighbors to be wary of him. Beneath his tough demeanor lay a playful and humorous personality, earning him the nickname "Punk who turned Hunk." McLachlan described Henry as "fun-loving" and "quirky." In the UK, his final episode in 1991 attracted an audience of 16.6 million viewers.

Gail Robinson

Gail Lewis (formerly Robinson), enacted by Fiona Corke, first appeared on 11 March 1987 and made her final regular appearance on 27 June 2007, with guest spots in 2005, 2006, and 2007. Corke reflected on her tenure as "an incredible experience," emphasizing its intensity and scale. In 1988, she was one of ten cast members flown to London to perform before Elizabeth II at the Royal Variety Performance. Corke departed from Neighbours in 1989 to explore other career opportunities.

She returned in 2005 for the program’s twentieth anniversary special. In December 2009, Stefan Dennis publicly advocated for her return. The BBC identified Gail's standout storyline as "Running off with the triplets." Television critic Ruth Deller named Gail as the "most memorable" among Paul's wives. The Sydney Morning Herald described the relationship between Gail and Paul as star-crossed, highlighting its significant dramatic influence on the series’ plot.

Rob Lewis

Robert "Rob" Lewis, played by Ernie Bourne, first joined the cast on 17 March 1987. Known as "a decent everyday man" with a fondness for beer and gambling, Rob was also recognized as a "mechanical genius" capable of restoring any vehicle. One of his most notable moments involved arriving intoxicated and embarrassing Gail.

Rob established his own garage business in Erinsborough and resided at Number 22 Ramsay Street alongside his adopted daughter, Gail. After Gail married Paul Robinson, Rob moved out but remained nearby. He partnered with Harold Bishop in managing the garage; however, their clashing personalities led to frequent conflicts, especially when Rob showed interest in Madge Ramsay. Rob missed Scott and Charlene's wedding due to drinking but offered Charlene an apprenticeship at his garage. When Harold accused him of theft, Rob confessed to taking money to cover gambling losses, prompting Harold to sell his share to Jim Robinson.

Upset by Gail’s search for her birth parents, Rob confronted her father Ian Chadwick out of jealousy—a move that backfired and strained their relationship until Rob apologized and accepted Ian’s role in Gail’s life. Rob later fell in love with Gloria Gardner, despite resistance from family members. Their engagement faced opposition from Gail and Gloria’s son Dean; however, both families eventually came around.

Rob’s business encountered difficulties when Paul discovered he was using stolen parts to reduce expenses. After an argument with Paul during a stormy night, Rob crashed his car and was hospitalized. Briefly regaining consciousness, he urged Gloria and Gail to look after each other before suffering cardiac arrest and passing away.

Mr Udagawa

Toshiro Udagawa, widely referred to as Mr. Udagawa and portrayed by Lawrence Mah, made his initial appearance on 23 April 1987. He featured sporadically over a five-year span before making a comeback in 2017.

As a Japanese entrepreneur, Mr. Udagawa owns the Erins Burrow Motel, which was later renamed Robinsons. He is a client of the Daniels Corporation and primarily conducts business with Paul Robinson. Initially attracted by Rosemary Daniels' chauffeur enterprise, Mr. Udagawa enters into negotiations with Paul, who attempts to finalize agreements by revealing his engagement to Gail Lewis. Although initially doubtful after discovering the reality behind Paul's engagement, Gail persuades Mr. Udagawa to commit to the corporation.

In 1989, Mr. Udagawa broadened his business interests to include the Pacific Bank. Des Clarke attempted to impress him by learning Japanese but made errors in communication that led to a temporary dismissal, which Paul later rectified. During a dinner at Number 28 attended by Mrs. Udagawa, a misunderstanding regarding Des's relationship sparked jealousy and a confrontation involving Joe Mangel. Mr. Udagawa returned in 1992, meeting Jim Robinson before assigning Paul the responsibility of managing hotels in Hawaii.

After a 25-year interval, he revisited Erinsborough to confer with Paul at his motel complex, clarifying that his son Hiro was not Leo Tanaka’s biological father despite previous relationships. When Terese Willis falsely claimed a cancer diagnosis jeopardizing his investment, Paul convinced Mr. Udagawa to maintain his support. Subsequently, he supervised the transfer of his Lassiter's shares back to Paul.

In 2005, Mr. Udagawa was ranked among the "Top 20 Most Obscure Neighbours characters," recognized for his solemn yet dignified demeanor and important business dealings with Paul Robinson.

Hilary Robinson

Hilary Robinson, played by Anne Scott-Pendlebury, first appeared on 25 June 1987. After making guest appearances in 1988, she became a regular character in 1989 and departed on 28 February 1990. Scott-Pendlebury reprised Hilary for the show's 20th anniversary in 2005. Her storylines included themes such as Tax evasion, animal rights, and interfering in neighbors' personal matters. The entertainment website Lowculture described her as a "busybody" whose intentions were ultimately well-meaning. For the anniversary special, the BBC ranked her fourth among favorite lesser-known characters, characterizing her as "constantly irritable and sharp-tongued," yet "immensely entertaining." Although she did not reside in Erinsborough, Hilary played a crucial role in uniting Jim and Beverly. According to Neighbours: The Official Annual 1991, her presence disrupted Sharon Davies’ tranquility, and Scott-Pendlebury left a lasting impression on the series. Inside Soap referred to her as Ramsay Street’s "strictly proper resident."

Beverly Marshall

Beverly Marshall debuted on 6 July 1987 with Lisa Armytage originally cast in the role. From 16 March 1989 until Beverly’s exit on 5 September 1990, Shaunna O'Grady portrayed her character. O'Grady returned for the show’s 20th anniversary episode in 2005. Beverly was regarded as a "strong favorite among viewers" according to John Kercher’s 1989 publication, with her relationship with Jim described as "captivating." Ruth Deller identified Beverly as Ramsay Street’s "leading medical professional," while Lowculture praised her as the "resident exceptional and authoritative Neighbours doctor," caught between Clive Gibbons and Karl Kennedy. The BBC noted her most memorable moment as delivering a slap to a patient.

Gino Rossini

Gino Rossini, brought to life by Joey Perrone, made his first appearance on 22 July 1987 and departed by 31 July. Perrone was cast for a brief two-week guest stint, marking his inaugural acting role after a career in singing. Gino, characterized as an Italian, arrives in Erinsborough to take over at Daphne Clarke's (Elaine Smith) café, stepping in for his unwell father who was initially scheduled to start the position. Described as having a "happy-go-lucky" demeanor with a "charming and easygoing personality," Gino tries to woo several women, including an attempt to date Mike Young's (Guy Pearce) girlfriend Jane Harris (Annie Jones). Although Daphne hires him based on his father's recommendation, Gino confesses he lacks cooking skills. Once his father recovers, the job offer is extended to him. Gino has a short-lived relationship with Melanie Pearson (Lucinda Cowden) before leaving.

Jamie Clarke

James Kingsley "Jamie" Clarke entered the storyline on 30 July 1987 as a newborn. Initially portrayed by Sarah Jane Dey, the role was briefly taken over by Ryder Susman in 1989 before Dey resumed it. Due to issues related to hair length, Dey exited the role, which was then played by brothers Nicholas and James Mason until 1990. The character made a comeback in 2003 with Angus McLaren assuming the role. Significant plot points include Jamie’s involvement in a car accident that left his mother Daphne comatose and his return in 2004 to claim his inheritance.

Melanie Pearson

Melanie Pearson (also known as Mangel), enacted by Lucinda Cowden, debuted on 30 July 1987 and exited on 24 October 1991. Cowden initially appeared for seven episodes in 1987 and returned for six more in 1988 before departing to star in The Power, The Passion. After that series ended, Cowden reached out to the Neighbours production team to reprise her role. She returned in 2005 for the show’s twentieth anniversary celebrations.

A BBC commentator highlighted Melanie’s defining moment as "proposing marriage to Joe." Ian Morrison, author of Neighbours: The Official Annual 1992, observed that Melanie’s well-meaning efforts often led to unintended results. Katy Moon from Inside Soap praised the wedding of Joe and Melanie as a simple yet refreshing occasion, describing Melanie as "vivacious" and an ideal partner for Joe. The Coventry Telegraph referred to Melanie as "a soap favourite" and "the girl next door with a distinctive laugh," which captivated thousands of viewers. BBC News also recognized her unique laugh among the show’s most memorable highlights.

Amanda Harris

Amanda Harris, portrayed by Briony Behets, first appeared on 13 August 1987 as part of exploring Jane Harris’s family background. Amanda is depicted as a "glamorous yet aging socialite" who returns to Erinsborough after abandoning Jane to pursue a new life in Hong Kong. She vies for attention against her daughter by undermining Jane’s appearance and self-esteem. Amanda’s reappearance in 2025 coincides with her relocation to the Eirini Rising retirement community, where she aims to rebuild connections with her daughter and grandchildren.

Her return follows her mother, Nell Mangel’s heart attack; Amanda offers to manage Nell’s home and reestablish family ties with Jane. Her jealousy causes tensions with Jane’s friends and neighbours, including Madge Ramsay and Madge’s son Henry Ramsay. Amanda confesses she fled due to insurance fraud allegations, leading Nell and Jane to ask her to leave. She subsequently returns to Hong Kong but continues participating in family events from afar.

Years later, Amanda moves into the Eirini Rising retirement complex where she is welcomed by staff members such as Karl Kennedy and Susan Kennedy. Susan recognizes Amanda as Jane’s mother but agrees to keep her presence discreet.

Kenny Larkin

Kenny Larkin, brought to life by Russell Crowe, made his first appearance on 21 September 1987 as a former prison companion of Henry Ramsay (Craig McLachlan). This role marked Crowe's debut in a recurring television part, spanning four episodes. Initially hesitant, Crowe agreed to join after reading an intense scene featuring a confrontation with McLachlan and guest spots by Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue. His compensation for these episodes exceeded what he typically earned during an entire theatre season. Although there were rumors about a possible return for the show's 20th anniversary in 2005, Crowe's representatives dismissed these claims.

Crowe later minimized the significance of his involvement, mentioning that filming took only a few hours. Media outlets labeled Kenny as a "small-time crook," "dodgy ex-con," and "bruiser." Both critics and viewers acknowledge the character as part of the foundation of Crowe's early career before his rise to Hollywood prominence.

Within the plot, Kenny deceives Henry in a darts match by pretending to be injured and having his sister B.B. (Tamasin Ramsay) play on his behalf, ultimately winning Henry $100. Kenny then stirs trouble by accusing Henry’s mother, Madge (Anne Charleston), of shortchanging him using memorized serial numbers from a $50 bill. This accusation casts doubt on Madge and Henry until Kenny confesses after Henry threatens him. Following this, Kenny tarnishes Henry’s reputation by sharing details of his criminal history with clients at the gardening business, which culminates in a physical altercation at Lassiter's. As a result, Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) bans Kenny from the premises indefinitely.

Sally Wells

Sally Wells, enacted by Rowena Mohr, was introduced on 15 October 1987. Created as Des Clarke’s sister (Paul Keane) and designed to serve as a romantic interest for Henry Ramsay (Craig McLachlan), Sally arrived during one of the show’s most popular periods. Mohr admitted to feeling nervous initially but credited the cast for making her transition smoother. Sally is portrayed as determined and visually striking, qualities that garnered significant attention, particularly from Henry. The character was eventually written out when producers decided she did not align with forthcoming story arcs; Mohr departed to pursue opportunities in the UK and opted not to return for the role. A notable element of Sally’s storyline was her discovery of having an unknown brother, Des.

Greg Cooper

Greg Cooper, portrayed by Alan Fletcher, first appeared on 19 October 1987. At that time active primarily in theatre, Fletcher accepted the role temporarily to fill a casting gap left by Ernie Bourne’s exit. Greg was introduced as a mechanic supervising Charlene Robinson (Kylie Minogue) and served as an interim character before Nick Carrafa’s arrival. Fletcher chose not to extend his contract to concentrate on theatre but returned seven years later as the enduring character Karl Kennedy. Official show commentary notes that Greg’s brief stint delayed Karl Kennedy’s introduction, underscoring Karl’s eventual importance.

During his time in Erinsborough, Greg reconnects with friend Des Clarke and reveals that his brother Colin has passed away. Emotionally burdened, Greg confesses he was responsible for Colin’s fatal accident during a boxing match—triggered by jealousy after Colin became involved with Greg’s girlfriend. Although legally exonerated, Greg is consumed by guilt, leading him to resign and leave town after informing Tony Romeo about an available mechanic position at the garage.

Pete Baxter

Pete Baxter, brought to life by Tony Briggs, made his first appearance on 13 November 1987. Introduced as a schoolmate of Mike Young (Guy Pearce), Pete also rekindles friendships with Scott Robinson (Jason Donovan) and Charlene Mitchell (Kylie Minogue). Described as "a cheerful and mischievous prankster," Pete shares characteristics with Briggs himself, being both an accomplished athlete and a diligent, intelligent individual. Notably, Briggs was the inaugural Aboriginal actor featured on Neighbours.

Pete is employed at Pacific Bank alongside Des Clarke (Paul Keane). With his athletic talents pointing towards potential participation in the 1988 Seoul Olympics, Pete encounters financial difficulties while training at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra. To support him, the local community organizes a fundraising scavenger hunt, and Des arranges for Pete to have leave from work to focus on his training. Scott Robinson covers Pete’s progress in reports, while Mike acts as the official photographer. Pete sustains a running injury but initially conceals it; following intervention by his chaperone Rachel Frazer (Pamela Hawksford), he obtains necessary medical treatment.

Several weeks later, Pete departs from the Institute abruptly due to his injury worsening. After confiding in Mike, Des assists him in reclaiming his position at the bank. Although Scott motivates Pete to set his sights on the Commonwealth Games or the 1992 Summer Olympics, Pete is hesitant. When Todd Landers (Kristian Schmid) requests his help with coaching sports at Erinsborough High, Pete initially refuses but eventually agrees and resumes his athletic training.

Malcolm Clarke

Malcolm Clarke, portrayed by Noel Trevarthen, first appeared on 23 November 1987 and departed on 25 November 1988. Presented as a distant and unreliable father figure who prefers solitude, Malcolm is resistant to embracing family duties. He was formerly married to Eileen Clarke (Myra De Groot), with whom he had a son, Des (Paul Keane). Malcolm also fathered a daughter, Sally Wells (Rowena Mohr), whom he abandoned unknowingly due to her mother Kate keeping her existence secret. Sally's arrival focused on her quest to find Malcolm, leading to a family reunion despite initial deception and resistance from Des.

Trevarthen described Malcolm as "a carpenter" and "an ordinary man who prefers solitude," hesitant to connect with his son and grandson until Sally's involvement encouraged him. Malcolm briefly reconciles with Eileen and agrees to remarry her. However, their wedding is called off because of Eileen’s domineering behavior, prompting Malcolm to abandon the family once more.

Malcolm’s narrative emphasizes his estrangement from Des and Eileen. After Sally’s efforts bring them back together, he manages to win their trust but ultimately jilts Eileen on their wedding day, causing her significant distress. Feeling remorseful, he gifts her tickets for a European trip that he won on a quiz show. Later on, Malcolm returns accompanied by his girlfriend Leanne Sterling (May Lloyd), having sold his home to support her lifestyle. Leanne flirts with Des, which creates conflict until her behavior is exposed, leading to her departure. Subsequently, Malcolm leaves to travel around Australia after Des wins him a caravan on a game show.

Tony Romeo

Antonio "Tony" Romeo, played by Nick Carrafa, made his debut on 25 November 1987. Although Carrafa had previously appeared in a guest role in 1985 as Danny Ramsay's biological father, Tony marked his first ongoing television character and was the show's initial regular male ethnic figure. Tony is introduced as the new manager of the local garage, succeeding Greg Cooper.

Tony is depicted as a "sex-crazed mechanic," a determined womanizer who often finds himself in romantic disputes, especially with Henry Ramsay over the affections of Sally Wells. Despite their early antagonism, Tony and Henry eventually form a friendship. Carrafa admitted some discomfort with Tony's bullying behavior but recognized its role in creating dramatic tension.

Upon arriving in Erinsborough, Tony seeks employment at Jim Robinson's garage. He immediately irritates Jim’s daughter-in-law Charlene by flirting with her, then sets his sights on Sally, sparking conflicts with Henry. To escape an arranged marriage set up by his mother Elinora Romeo, Tony invents a relationship with Jane Harris, which leads to further complications when Elinora visits. The ruse falls apart, but after a fortune teller predicts misfortune for Tony’s arranged marriage, Elinora departs with her blessing.

Tony invites Sally to live with him, yet their cohabitation struggles due to his messiness and unwillingness to share household duties. They negotiate home improvements with their landlord despite a rent increase and recruit friends to assist. Meanwhile, Tony continues courting Jane, who remains emotionally torn because of another suitor. Feeling discouraged, Tony plans to leave Erinsborough but postpones when he learns his father has suffered a severe stroke, prompting him to join his family in Perth.

In celebration of Neighbours’ 20th anniversary, Tony was ranked sixth in a BBC reader poll highlighting lesser-known characters, noted for his distinctive name pronunciation. Coral O'Connor of the Daily Mirror described him as "a real randy romeo," labeling him a "tough mechanic" and "womanising bully."
