Neighbours is a soap opera from Australia broadcast on Amazon Prime Video in the UK and US, RTÉ in Ireland, and Network 10 in Australia. Below is a list of characters who were introduced in 2025 under the guidance of executive producer Jason Herbison. In January, Clint Hendry (played by Jason Wilder) and Taye Obasi (portrayed by Lakota Johnson) made their first appearances. February saw the arrival of Fallon Morell (Kate Connick), Ken Obasi (Charles Allen), and Maddy Murphy (Emma Horn). The month of March introduced Agnes Adair (Anne Charleston) alongside Thomas Murphy (Charlie Lyon). April brought in Sandra Jago (Natassia Halabi), May featured Colton Keys (Jakob Ambrose), and June welcomed Yvette Ramsay (Libby Tanner) and Saskia Ramsay (Mia Foran).

Clint Hendry

Clint Hendry, embodied by Jason Wilder, debuted on 21 January 2025. His character was introduced as a potential romantic interest for Jane Harris through online dating, with their storyline focusing on the challenges posed by their considerable age difference. Although Jane initially hesitated, Clint formed a bond with her son Byron Stone and obtained cleaning positions at both Erinsborough High School and the Eirini Rising retirement home, where he earned praise from residents such as Vera Punt and Gino Esposito.

The couple’s relationship encountered difficulties when Terese Willis, manager of Eirini Rising, received complaints about disturbances related to Clint and Jane’s secret meetings in an unoccupied apartment. Following the disappearance of cleaning materials, student Jasmine Stewart accused Clint, resulting in his termination. Additionally, parental grievances led to Jane’s suspension by the Department of Education for inappropriate behavior.

Throughout these events, Clint remained supportive, mending his relationship with Terese while Jane defended him during a meeting with Lana Kline. Jane’s daughter Nicolette Stone investigated the theft and uncovered that Clint had taken supplies to care for his ailing mother. Despite his explanation, Jane reported him to law enforcement. Clint’s final scene aired on 27 February 2025; shortly after, Wilder confirmed his exit from the series and spoke positively about his involvement with the storyline.

Taye Obasi

Taye Obasi, played by Lakota Johnson, made his first appearance on 23 January 2025. His casting was announced on 14 October 2024 via the official Neighbours Instagram account, where Johnson was confirmed as a series regular. A publicist hinted that "Taye is sure to break some rules (and some hearts) on Ramsay Street." He is introduced as the younger half-brother of Remi Varga-Murphy (Naomi Rukavina), with executive producer Jason Herbison highlighting their estranged relationship and significant age difference. Johnson originally auditioned for a different role but impressed producers enough that the character of Taye was created specifically for him.

Promotional material released in early 2025 confirmed Taye’s arrival, with previews showing him spending time at the Waterhole alongside nephews JJ Varga-Murphy (Riley Bryant) and Dex Varga-Murphy (Marley Williams). Initially, he hides in the sunroom at number 32 and takes food Andrew Rodwell (Lloyd Will) delivers for JJ and Dex. When Andrew confronts him wielding a cricket bat, he later permits Taye to remain secretly under the condition he stays discreet. Taye develops a friendship with neighbour Max Ramsay (Ben Jackson) but stirs trouble by throwing a party and encouraging Dex to consume alcohol. Upon Remi and Cara Varga-Murphy’s (Sara West) return, Taye feels embarrassed but chooses to stay to rebuild connections. He also forms a confidant relationship with Fallon Morell (Kate Connick), who shares details about her sister Krista Sinclair (Majella Davis) with him.

Fallon Morell

Fallon Morell, brought to life by Kate Connick, made her initial appearance on 3 February 2025 as a guest role. Announced on 28 October 2024, Fallon is introduced as the younger half-sister of the established character Krista Sinclair (Majella Davis), having been raised in the United States by their American father. Executive producer Jason Herbison emphasized the differences in their backgrounds and temperaments. Fallon departed the show on 2 April 2025.

Promotional images from 2025 reveal Fallon’s arrival in Erinsborough, her encounter with Sebastian Metcalfe (Rarmian Newton), followed by a visit to Krista’s Lassiters apartment. Although Krista is initially unsettled by Fallon’s presence, she welcomes her without suspicion of any hidden agendas. Fallon secures a position at Yorokobi, the vineyard owned by Krista’s fiancé Leo Tanaka (Tim Kano), where she forms a connection with Leo.

According to Digital Spy spoilers, Fallon shares a complicated history with Sebastian: they were once engaged before he abruptly cut ties. Sebastian later developed feelings for Krista and ceased contact with Fallon, leaving her upset and questioning Krista’s involvement in their breakup.

Fallon observes Sebastian kissing Krista and subsequently moves into Krista’s apartment. She befriends Taye Obasi (Lakota Johnson) and frequents the Waterhole social venue. Krista and Leo appoint Fallon as their wedding planner; she supports Leo and Byron Stone (Xavier Molyneux) in preparing Yorokobi for the ceremony. Despite close collaboration with Krista and Leo, Fallon remains wary of Krista, suspecting she is concealing information from Leo. Prompted by Taye, Fallon persuades Krista to reveal the truth about Sebastian to Leo when Krista hesitates.

Fallon becomes doubtful of Leo’s motives after he continues with wedding arrangements despite the disclosures. When Taye begins employment under Krista at the Piano Bar, Fallon entrusts him with her confidence. Taye notices Fallon’s feelings toward Leo, which she denies. Later, pressured by Taye, Fallon agrees to assist him in obtaining a loan from Krista.

Tension arises when Krista borrows Fallon’s wedding dress without permission and damages it, prompting Fallon to disclose its importance to Leo. After Taye apologizes, Fallon admits her resentment toward Krista. Her attraction to Leo intensifies, leading her to plan stirring up trouble. She also announces Sebastian’s forthcoming return to Erinsborough.

Ken Obasi

Ken Obasi, portrayed by Charles Allen, made his debut on 13 February 2025. Introduced as the father of established characters Remi Varga-Murphy and Taye Obasi, Ken arrives in Erinsborough seeking reconciliation with his children. He urges Taye to return home to Apollo Bay; however, Taye declines. It is revealed that Ken’s previous affair with Taye’s mother caused tension between the siblings. While Remi permits Taye to stay, Ken spends time bonding with his grandsons JJ and Dex Varga-Murphy, reinforcing family connections.

Maddy Murphy

Maddy Murphy, portrayed by Emma Horn, first appeared on 17 February 2025. Introduced as the cousin of established characters Cara Varga-Murphy and Chelsea Murphy, Maddy works as a midwife connected to Chelsea’s storyline. Following Cara’s friend Nicolette Stone’s search for Chelsea, Maddy emerges as a significant figure who assisted Chelsea during childbirth before her disappearance.

Initially denying knowledge of Chelsea’s location, Maddy later develops a romantic relationship with Nicolette. After Nicolette finds Chelsea’s perfume at Maddy’s residence, the truth comes out: Maddy helped Chelsea give birth but claims Chelsea wishes to remain hidden. Despite Cara's objections, Maddy and Nicolette continue their secret relationship, adding complexity to interactions with Remi and Cara.

Agnes Adair

Agnes Adair, brought to life by Anne Charleston, made her first appearance on 17 March 2025. Charleston, recognized for her previous portrayal of Madge Bishop, returned in a fresh role connected to the departure storyline of Madge’s spouse, Harold Bishop (Ian Smith). Her casting was announced in December 2024 and unveiled during the Neighbours 40th Anniversary celebrations. Agnes is captivated by a portrait of Madge displayed within the Lassiters complex, quickly drawing attention due to her remarkable likeness to Madge, particularly from JJ Varga-Murphy (Riley Bryant), who introduces her to Hilary Robinson and Harold. Agnes was subsequently featured in the opening credits alongside Smith and later included with other cast members following Smith's exit.

Agnes’s narrative centers on her familial link to Madge as she tours Eirene Rising with JJ and encounters Harold, who initially confuses her for Madge. She is also introduced to Karl and Susan Kennedy, who are equally struck by her resemblance. Upon learning she is Madge’s second cousin, Agnes opts to move into Eirene Rising with Harold’s consent. Their relationship evolves over time, although Harold eventually relocates to Queensland, assuring Agnes that their friendship will endure.

After Harold’s departure, Agnes experiences feelings of solitude but remains active within the community. When her book is rejected by a publisher, a Port Douglas-based publisher expresses interest, prompting her to contemplate moving. Encouraged by Max Ramsay and Susan, Agnes plans a surprise visit to Harold in Queensland, hinting at new avenues for her character within the series’ business-related plotlines.

Thomas Murphy

Thomas Matthew Murphy-Robinson, portrayed by Charlie Lyon, was introduced on 17 March 2025. He is the infant son of Chelsea Murphy (Viva Bianca), whose pregnancy was revealed during the 2024 season finale. A central plot involved uncertainty over Thomas’ paternity between Chelsea's former fiancé Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) and Jeffrey Swan (Tim Potter), with early spoilers confirming Paul as the father through DNA results.

Later developments disclosed that Jeffrey had manipulated the paternity test outcomes, establishing himself as Thomas’ biological father. The character was named in honor of Neighbours digital producer Thomas Sage. Actress Bianca mentioned that scenes featuring Lyon were labeled "Thomas actual" when he appeared instead of a doll, describing these moments as "really special."

Thomas and Chelsea relocate to Ramsay Street to live with his aunt Cara Varga-Murphy (Sara West). Thomas forms a bond with Paul Robinson, which creates tension between Paul and his partner Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou). The family gathers to celebrate Thomas’ naming day, highlighting their intricate relationships. After spending a night at Paul and Terese's residence, Thomas becomes unwell and returns to Chelsea. Subsequently, Paul insists that Thomas avoid contact with Chelsea’s new boyfriend Darcy Tyler (Mark Raffety).

Sandra Jago

Sandra Jago, portrayed by Natassia Halabi, first appeared on 15 April 2025. Her casting was revealed on 31 March 2025 via Digital Spy. Sandra participates in Andrew Rodwell's (Lloyd Will) self-defense classes and displays an interest in him. Reporter Daniel Kilkelly disclosed that Sandra would take on the role of a seductress toward Andrew, who remains unaware of her true intentions. Neighbours’ publicists noted that Andrew feels flattered by Sandra's compliments regarding his confidence-building efforts, while neighbours Max Ramsay (Ben Jackson) and Holly Hoyland (Lucinda Armstrong Hall) react uncomfortably to her attempts at creating romantic tension.

Sandra is paired with Max during class; his girlfriend Holly accuses Sandra of trying to seduce him after witnessing her touch Max’s leg. Holly demonstrates a defensive move that injures Sandra, with Max explaining he permitted the contact. Despite this, Sandra continues attending classes and openly flirts with Andrew, who remains oblivious despite warnings from Holly and Max. She invites Andrew for coffee; however, he declines due to his marriage. Undaunted, Sandra flirts boldly in front of Andrew’s wife Wendy Rodwell (Candice Leask), even requesting Andrew massage her shoulder. Later on, Sandra cautions Wendy not to blame her if problems arise between Wendy and Andrew regarding communication. Nicolette Stone (Hannah Monson) observes Sandra messaging a man on a dating app who bears the same tattoo as Andrew.

Colton Keys

Colton Keys, played by Jakob Ambrose, made his first appearance on 21 May 2025. His casting was revealed on 13 April 2025 through Digital Spy spoilers. Colton is introduced as a potential romantic partner for Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson), whom he meets while vacationing at Hamilton Island in Queensland. Ambrose had been previously seen in promotional shots from the location filming there. In Colton’s initial storyline, Aaron flirts with him while using the false name Charlie. They become intimate, but when Colton finds a photograph of Aaron’s late husband David Tanaka (Takaya Honda), he demands an explanation.

Their encounter begins by a pool where Aaron, under the alias Charlie, claims to be from Sydney. After swimming and snorkeling together, Colton initiates a kiss that leads to them having sex in Aaron's villa. Upon discovering a picture of David alongside Aaron’s daughter Isla Tanaka-Brennan (Hannah Abe-Tucker), Colton uncovers Aaron’s real identity and promptly leaves. Later, he arrives in Erinsborough and approaches Aaron during a date with Rhett Norman (Liam Maguire), revealing he has a job interview at Eirene Rising. After being hired as assistant manager by Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou), Colton invites Aaron to dinner and later visits him bearing a gift. At the Waterhole, he meets Cara (Sara West) and Remi Varga-Murphy (Naomi Rukavina), making a positive impression on Remi. Colton also attends yoga sessions with Aaron, where both he and Rhett vie for Aaron’s attention. They frequently go for runs together as well. Colton assists in calming Vera Punt (Sally-Anne Upton) after she threatens to quit Eirene Rising following doctor Darcy Tyler’s arrest. When Aaron invites him back for sex, Colton declines.

Saskia Ramsay

Saskia Ramsay, portrayed by Mia Foran, is introduced as a recurring character on 24 June 2025. Her arrival was announced by AACTA. Saskia is the daughter of Shane Ramsay (Peter O'Brien) and sibling to Max Ramsay (Ben Jackson). She moves to Ramsay Street with her mother Yvette Ramsay (Libby Tanner) to live with Max after enduring bullying at her previous school. Max consents to her staying at his shared house. Saskia’s storyline features a romantic interest in her housemate Byron Stone (Xavier Molyneux), which culminates in a kiss.

Saskia and Yvette settle into number 32 Ramsay Street, welcomed by Max and his girlfriend Holly Hoyland (Lucinda Armstrong Hall). After moving in, Saskia meets Max’s housemates Byron and Taye Obasi (Lakota Johnson), who invite her to stay with them. Starting classes at Erinsborough High School, she interacts with fellow students JJ (Riley Bryant), Dex Varga-Murphy (Marley Williams), and new teacher Wendy Rodwell (Candice Leask), who offers her support. Max hosts a welcome party where Saskia attempts to seduce Byron, but he resists her advances. She also meets Nell Rebecchi (Ayisha Salem-Towner) and Byron’s ex-girlfriend, Sadie Rodwell (Emerald Chan), noticing tension between Sadie and Byron. After turning down a date invitation from Dex, Saskia receives earrings from Wendy as a welcoming present.

Saskia experiences teasing from Archie Skehill (Ollie Pearce), which Wendy addresses directly. When Wendy discovers the earrings discarded, Saskia accuses Archie of the act. Later on, Saskia visits Byron in hospital, making him uncomfortable. She then replaces moisturizer with a chemical that causes harm to Nicolette Stone (Hannah Monson). Once Byron returns home, Saskia offers care under the guise of assistance but shifts her romantic focus toward Dex, inviting him on a movie date.
