Neighbours is a long-running Australian soap opera that originally premiered on 18 March 1985. This compilation highlights characters who were introduced during 1987, all under the guidance of executive producer Reg Watson. The series' third season started broadcasting on 5 January 1987. Significant additions included Harold Bishop in January; in February, Bouncer and Henry Mitchell, the son of established character Madge Mitchell, were introduced; March saw the arrival of Gail Lewis alongside her adoptive father Rob; businessman Mr. Udagawa debuted in April; Hilary Robinson joined in June; July brought doctor Beverly Marshall, Gino Rossini, and Melanie Pearson as well as the birth of Jamie Clarke, the child of Des and Daphne Clarke. The month of August introduced Amanda Harris, followed by future star Russell Crowe appearing as Kenny Larkin in September. Later in the year, characters such as Sally Wells, Greg Cooper, athlete Pete Baxter, Des and Sally's father Malcolm Clarke, and mechanic Tony Romeo made their first appearances.

Harold Bishop

Harold Bishop, played by actor Ian Smith, first appeared on screen on 30 January 1987. He became a central figure in the show for over twelve years, initially leaving in September 1991 before making a comeback in October 1996. Smith revealed his decision to depart again in August 2008, with Harold’s last episode airing on 27 February 2009, concluding a storyline centered around cancer. He returned to the role once more in May 2011. The character is described as "indecisive, considerate, stuffy and reserved." Ian Smith received several award nominations for portraying Harold, including "Funniest Performance" at both the 2007 and 2008 Inside Soap Awards, as well as "Best Actor" in 2008. In addition, during 2009 he was nominated for "Funniest Performance," "Best Storyline" for Harold’s cancer plot, and prestigious accolades such as the "Most Popular Personality" and "Most Popular Actor" at the Logie Awards.

Bouncer

Bouncer made his debut on 4 February 1987 and remained part of Neighbours until 12 February 1993. This golden Labrador puppy was trained by Luke Hura from a canine talent agency and was specifically cast for the series. Remarkably, Bouncer’s earnings surpassed those of many human actors, with his value estimated between $100,000 and $200,000. His fan cards consistently outsold those belonging to any human cast member.

One of Bouncer’s standout story arcs featured a dream sequence in which he wed Rosie, a neighboring sheepdog. This storyline was regarded as unusual by the cast and showcased the show’s occasional penchant for quirky narratives.

Bouncer passed away from cancer at the age of seven, thirteen weeks after filming his final scenes. Following his death, he received more fan tributes than any human actor on the show. Industry experts have highlighted Bouncer’s dream episode as one of the most eccentric and unforgettable moments in Neighbours history, ranking it as the second most peculiar storyline ever aired.

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 role, including accolades for 'Most Popular Actor' and 'Most Popular Personality'. When Peter O'Brien (who played Shane Ramsay) left the series, producers aimed to introduce a new "heartthrob" to attract female viewers. McLachlan, only 21 and relatively inexperienced in acting, was cast as Henry Mitchell with an initial contract lasting six weeks.

Henry was depicted as street-smart and charismatic but carried the burden of a criminal past, which caused others to view him with suspicion. His blend of toughness and playful humor led to him being dubbed the "Punk who turned Hunk." McLachlan described Henry as "fun-loving" and "wacky," contributing to the character’s widespread appeal. In the UK, Henry’s final episode drew an audience of 16.6 million viewers in 1991.

Gail Robinson

Gail Lewis (previously Robinson), played by Fiona Corke, first appeared on 11 March 1987 and departed on 27 June 2007, with guest appearances in 2005, 2006, and 2007. Corke reflected on her involvement with the show as "an amazing experience," emphasizing its intensity and scale. In 1988, she was among ten cast members flown to London to perform for Queen Elizabeth II at the Royal Variety Performance. Corke left Neighbours in 1989 to explore opportunities beyond the series but returned in 2005 for its 20th anniversary episode. In 2009, Stefan Dennis publicly called for her return.

According to the BBC, Gail’s most significant storyline involved "Running off with the triplets." Television critic Ruth Deller from Lowculture identified Gail as the "most well-remembered" among Paul's wives. The Sydney Morning Herald described Gail and Paul's relationship as star-crossed, highlighting its dramatic depth and importance within the show's overarching narrative.

Rob Lewis

Robert "Rob" Lewis, portrayed by Ernie Bourne, first appeared on 17 March 1987. Neil Wallis and Dave Hogan characterized him as "a nice ordinary guy" with a fondness for beer and gambling. Rob was also known as a "mechanical genius," capable of rebuilding virtually any vehicle. A memorable plotline saw him arriving drunk and embarrassing his adopted daughter, Gail.

Rob ran his own garage in Erinsborough and lived at Number 22 Ramsay Street alongside Gail (Fiona Corke). After Gail married Paul Robinson, Rob moved out but stayed involved in local affairs. He formed a business partnership with Harold Bishop (Ian Smith), though their clashing personalities and Rob’s attempts to court Madge Ramsay (Anne Charleston) created tension. Rob missed Scott and Charlene's wedding due to drinking but gifted Charlene an apprenticeship contract. Conflict escalated when Harold accused Rob of embezzling money to settle gambling debts, prompting Harold to sell his share of the garage to Jim Robinson.

When Gail sought out her biological parents, Rob opposed her search. Gail eventually discovered her mother had passed away but located her father, Ian Chadwick. Jealousy led Rob to confront Ian, straining his relationship with Gail until he apologized and accepted Ian’s role in her life.

Rob fell in love with Gloria Gardner (Beverly Phillips), despite disapproval from Gail and Gloria’s son Dean. Their engagement underscored the close ties between their families. However, after Paul uncovered Rob’s use of stolen parts at the garage, a confrontation ensued that resulted in Rob crashing his car during a storm. Hospitalized and unconscious, Rob briefly regained consciousness to urge Gloria and Gail to support one another before succumbing to cardiac arrest.

Mr Udagawa

Toshiro Udagawa, widely recognized as Mr. Udagawa and portrayed by Lawrence Mah, made his debut on 23 April 1987. He appeared sporadically over a span of five years before making a comeback in 2017.

In a 2005 BBC poll titled "Top 20 Most Obscure Neighbours Characters," Mr. Udagawa was ranked first, described as an "iconic Japanese businessman" whose solemn yet dignified demeanor made a significant impact despite his scarce dialogue. However, he was notably absent from the show's 20th anniversary festivities.

As a client of the Daniels Corporation, Mr. Udagawa conducts business dealings with Paul Robinson. Initially attracted by the family enterprise led by Rosemary Daniels, he seeks to finalize a contract with Paul. To secure the agreement, Paul announces his engagement to Gail Lewis. After observing some domestic strife and uncovering the engagement's true nature, Mr. Udagawa wavers but ultimately agrees to the deal, persuaded by Gail.

Upon his return in 1989, Mr. Udagawa forms a partnership with Pacific Bank. Des Clarke attempts to win his favor by studying Japanese but inadvertently creates an awkward situation. A dinner involving Mr. and Mrs. Udagawa leads to misunderstandings and a jealous altercation with Joe Mangel. In 1992, Mr. Udagawa briefly meets Jim Robinson but departs early due to family matters, later entrusting Paul with managing hotels in Hawaii—a proposition Paul accepts.

After a twenty-five-year hiatus, Mr. Udagawa revisits Erinsborough, reconnecting with Paul at the motel complex formerly known as the Erins Burrow Motel. When Leo Tanaka suspects Hiroshi Udagawa might be his father, Mr. Udagawa clarifies that Hiroshi was overseas during Leo’s conception. Following Terese Willis’ false claim of a cancer diagnosis that jeopardizes his investment, Paul persuades Mr. Udagawa to continue his backing. He subsequently returns to supervise the transfer of his Lassiter's holdings to Paul.

Hilary Robinson

Hilary Robinson, played by Anne Scott-Pendlebury, first appeared on 25 June 1987. After guest appearances in 1988, she returned as a regular in 1989 before departing on 28 February 1990. Scott-Pendlebury reprised Hilary for the show's 20th anniversary in 2005. Hilary featured prominently in storylines concerning Tax evasion, animal rights, and interference in neighbors' lives. The entertainment website Lowculture dubbed her "one of the street's most dedicated busybodies" who nonetheless had good intentions. During the 20th anniversary ranking by the BBC, Hilary was placed fourth among obscure characters, noted for being "constantly irritable and sharp-tongued" yet "extremely entertaining." Critics praised her role in linking characters such as Jim and Beverly. In Neighbours: The Official Annual 1991, John McCready and Nicola Furlong highlighted Scott-Pendlebury’s significant contribution to the series. Inside Soap referred to Hilary as Ramsay Street’s "uptight resident."

Beverly Marshall

Beverly Marshall debuted on 6 July 1987, originally portrayed by Lisa Armytage. From 16 March 1989 until her exit on 5 September 1990, Shaunna O'Grady assumed the role and returned for the show’s 20th anniversary episode in 2005. According to John Kercher’s 1989 book Neighbours: facts, features, interviews with your favourite TV stars, Beverly was a "fan favourite." Her romantic storyline with Jim was described as "captivating." Ruth Deller labeled Beverly as Ramsay Street's "top medical professional," while Lowculture referred to her as the "resident formidable and highly skilled Neighbours doctor," caught between Clive Gibbons and Karl Kennedy. The BBC spotlighted Beverly’s memorable moment when she slapped a patient, emphasizing her strong-willed nature.

Gino Rossini

Gino Rossini, played 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 acting debut following a career in singing. Gino is depicted as an Italian who arrives in Erinsborough to assist at Daphne Clarke's (Elaine Smith) café, stepping in for his ailing chef father. Characterized as carefree and charismatic, Gino tries to court Mike Young's (Guy Pearce) girlfriend Jane Harris (Annie Jones). Despite being hired based on his father's recommendation, Gino lacks culinary skills; his father is expected to resume the chef role once recovered. Gino briefly dates Melanie Pearson (Lucinda Cowden) before leaving.

Jamie Clarke

James Kingsley "Jamie" Clarke was introduced at birth on 30 July 1987. Initially portrayed by Sarah Jane Dey, the role was temporarily assumed by Ryder Susman in 1989 before Dey returned. Due to issues with hair length, Dey exited, and brothers Nicholas and James Mason took over until 1990. Jamie reappeared in 2003, played by Angus McLaren. Major plotlines included involvement in a car accident that left his mother Daphne comatose and a 2004 return to claim his inheritance.

Melanie Pearson

Melanie Pearson (also known as Mangel), enacted by Lucinda Cowden, first appeared on 30 July 1987 and left on 24 October 1991. Cowden initially joined Neighbours for a brief seven-episode run in 1987, returning for six episodes in 1988. After departing to star in The Power, The Passion, she rejoined Neighbours following that series' cancellation. Cowden reprised Melanie for the show's 20th anniversary in 2005.

A significant storyline involved Melanie proposing to Joe Mangel, an event highlighted as memorable by the BBC's Neighbours website. Author Ian Morrison described her as well-intentioned but occasionally troublesome. Katy Moon of Inside Soap commended Joe and Melanie’s wedding as a simple yet charming occasion, evoking nostalgia for classic soap operas. A reporter from the Coventry Telegraph characterized Melanie as a "girl next door with a foghorn laugh" and a "lovable but scatterbrained secretary," who attracted thousands of viewers. Genevieve Hassan of BBC News also noted Melanie’s unique laugh among the show's iconic moments.

Amanda Harris

Amanda Harris, portrayed by Briony Behets, first appeared on-screen on 13 August 1987. Introduced to deepen the backstory of Jane Harris (Annie Jones), Amanda reconnects with her daughter after having abandoned her to start afresh in Hong Kong. She is described as a "glamorous yet aging socialite," whose competitive streak surfaces as she vies for attention against Jane.

On 31 March 2025, it was announced that Behets would reprise the role after nearly four decades. Amanda returns to Erinsborough to reside at the Eirini Rising retirement community and rebuild family connections, with scenes scheduled from 23 April 2025.

Her return follows her mother Nell Mangel's (Vivean Gray) heart attack; Amanda offers to manage Nell’s home and mend ties with Jane. Observing changes in Jane’s appearance, Amanda manipulates her into adopting an older style, which undermines Jane’s confidence despite her happiness about Amanda’s presence. Amanda clashes with neighbor Madge Ramsay (Anne Charleston), and tensions escalate when Madge’s son Henry (Craig McLachlan) shows interest in Amanda but withdraws upon learning she is Jane’s mother. Amanda further stirs conflict by revealing Jane is dating Henry to provoke Mike Young (Guy Pearce).

Her conduct alienates Jane’s friends; after slapping Mike during a jealous confrontation, it emerges that Amanda returned to escape insurance fraud allegations. Nell and Jane ask her to leave, prompting Amanda’s departure back to Hong Kong. The following year, she declines an invitation to Nell’s wedding, drawing criticism from her brother Joe (Mark Little).

Many years later, Amanda moves into the Eirene Rising retirement complex where staff members Karl (Alan Fletcher), Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne), and Darcy Tyler (Mark Raffety) welcome her. Susan recognizes Amanda as Jane’s mother but agrees to keep this information confidential.

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 initial recurring television engagement, spanning four episodes. Despite some initial hesitation, Crowe agreed after a comedic scene featuring other cast members, noting that his earnings for these episodes exceeded what he made during an entire season in Melbourne theatre. Although British press suggested a comeback in 2005 for the show's 20th anniversary, this claim was refuted by Crowe’s agent.

Reflecting on his short tenure, Crowe remarked, "I spent about three hours on set one morning… it’s really unfair to keep linking me with the show." From a business perspective, Kenny was described as a "small-time crook" and "shady ex-con," emphasizing his significance as a stepping stone in Crowe’s acting career.

Within the plot, Kenny deceives Henry in a darts match by pretending to be injured and having his sister, B.B. (Tamasin Ramsay), cheat, resulting in Henry winning $100. Later, Kenny stirs conflict by memorizing the serial number of a $50 bill and falsely accusing Henry’s mother, Madge (Anne Charleston), of short-changing him. This accusation casts doubt on both Henry and Madge until Kenny confesses to the deception. Afterwards, Kenny tarnishes Henry’s reputation by revealing his criminal history to clients, which escalates into a physical altercation at Lassiter's that Scott Robinson (Jason Donovan) breaks up. Observing the chaos, Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) bans Kenny from the premises indefinitely.

Sally Wells

Sally Wells, portrayed by Rowena Mohr, first featured on 15 October 1987. Developed as the sister of Des Clarke (Paul Keane) and introduced as a romantic interest for Henry Ramsay (Craig McLachlan), Sally appeared during a period when the show enjoyed peak viewership. Mohr admitted to feeling nervous initially but praised the cast for their encouragement. Sally’s character is defined by her determined personality and notable attractiveness, which drew considerable male attention, particularly from Henry. Eventually, producers decided to write her out as she did not align with upcoming story directions. Mohr departed to pursue opportunities in the UK and confirmed she would not be returning. A key storyline involved Sally uncovering that she had an unknown brother named Des.

Greg Cooper

Greg Cooper, enacted by Alan Fletcher, debuted on 19 October 1987. Fletcher joined Neighbours amid his theatre commitments, describing this role as a temporary engagement filling the gap after Ernie Bourne’s exit as Rob Lewis. Greg was introduced to cover the three-week period before Nick Carrafa’s character Tony Romeo arrived and served as Charlene Robinson’s supervisor. Fletcher declined an offer for a long-term return at that time, opting instead to continue his theatre career; he eventually returned seven years later portraying the well-known character Karl Kennedy. Fletcher later reflected that his two-decade portrayal of Karl was far more fulfilling than his brief role as Greg.

Greg comes to Erinsborough to work at the local garage and reconnects with Des Clarke, revealing that his brother Colin has passed away. Displaying increasingly unstable behavior, Greg confesses to Jim Robinson that he indirectly caused Colin’s death during a boxing match driven by jealousy over a romantic rival. Though legally exonerated, Greg struggles with guilt and ultimately resigns from his position, recommending Tony Romeo as his successor before departing from town.

Pete Baxter

Pete Baxter, played by Tony Briggs, made his first appearance on 13 November 1987. Introduced as a schoolmate of Mike Young (Guy Pearce), he also reconnects with Scott Robinson (Jason Donovan) and Charlene Mitchell (Kylie Minogue). Pete is depicted as a "carefree practical joker," intelligent, diligent, and athletic, traits that mirror Briggs' own experiences. Notably, Briggs was the first Indigenous actor to join Neighbours.

Pete takes up a position at the Pacific Bank working alongside Des Clarke (Paul Keane). Identified for his athletic talent with potential to compete in the 1988 Seoul Olympics, Pete enrolls at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra but faces financial difficulties. To assist him, the community organizes a scavenger hunt fundraiser, and Des arranges time off for Pete’s training. Scott Robinson covers Pete’s progress as a reporter, while Mike acts as his photographer. However, Pete pushes himself excessively and sustains a leg injury that he initially conceals. After intervention from chaperone Rachel Frazer (Pamela Hawksford) and medical professionals, Pete comes to terms with the seriousness of his injury.

Several weeks later, Pete abruptly leaves the Institute. He confides in Mike that his departure was due to the injury. With Des’ encouragement, Pete returns to his banking job, and Scott motivates him to pursue future athletic goals such as the 1990 Commonwealth Games or 1992 Summer Olympics. Although initially resistant and irritable—especially when Todd Landers (Kristian Schmid) asks for help with sports training—Pete soon reconsiders and commits to assisting at Erinsborough High while resuming his athletic preparation.

Malcolm Clarke

Malcolm Clarke, portrayed by Noel Trevarthen, was featured from 23 November 1987 through 25 November 1988. He is characterized as an unreliable father and solitary figure who had difficulty adjusting to family life. Previously married to Eileen Clarke (Myra De Groot), Malcolm fathered a son, Des (Paul Keane). He also had a daughter, Sally Wells (Rowena Mohr), whom he abandoned unknowingly because her mother kept the pregnancy hidden.

Sally’s arrival in the series involves her search for Malcolm, culminating in a family reunion despite initial resistance from Des and Eileen. Trevarthen described Malcolm as "an ordinary man who prefers solitude" and is hesitant to maintain family connections unless compelled.

Malcolm later reconciles with Eileen, and they plan to remarry. However, Eileen’s domineering nature causes Malcolm to abandon her on their wedding day, leading to her emotional collapse. Feeling remorseful, Malcolm gifts Eileen holiday tickets he won on a quiz show. Months later, he returns with a new partner, Leanne Sterling (May Lloyd), revealing that he sold his house to support her lifestyle and asks Des to pose as if Malcolm still lives there. Leanne flirts with Des, which results in her exposure and departure. Eventually, 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 first appearance on 25 November 1987. Carrafa had previously appeared briefly in 1985 portraying Danny Ramsay's biological father during a flashback scene. This role marked Carrafa's initial regular television engagement and introduced the series' first recurring male character of ethnic background. Tony arrived as the newly appointed manager of the neighborhood garage, taking over from Greg Cooper.

Tony is depicted as a "sex-obsessed mechanic," known for his womanizing ways and domineering attitude, characteristics that Carrafa personally found unappealing. His romantic pursuits create rivalry with Henry Ramsay over Sally Wells, while he also shows interest in Jane Harris. Despite their early clashes, Tony and Henry eventually develop a friendship.

To escape an arranged marriage, Tony concocts a fake relationship with Jane, which leads to complications when his mother, Elinora Romeo, arrives. Following a sequence of fabrications, including feigning illness, the truth comes to light. A fortune-telling session by Nell Mangel persuades Elinora to accept Tony's choice not to proceed with the marriage.

Tony invites Sally to live with him, but their shared living situation becomes strained due to his slovenly habits and unwillingness to contribute to household chores. After friends fund improvements, they negotiate increased rent with their landlord. Tony's efforts to win Jane's affection fail as she remains interested in another man, causing him to fall into depression and ultimately decide to leave Erinsborough. Before departing, he discovers his father has suffered a stroke and relocates to Perth to be with him.

In a BBC poll ranking lesser-known Neighbours characters, Tony placed sixth, primarily remembered for his name and unique way of speaking.
