Neighbours is a long-running Australian soap opera that premiered on 18 March 1985 and currently airs on the digital channel Eleven. The list below highlights characters introduced throughout 2017, all introduced under the guidance of executive producer Jason Herbison. The show's 33rd season commenced on 9 January 2017. That same month saw the arrival of Andrea and Willow Somers. In March, educator Finn Kelly was introduced, followed in April by Dipi, her daughters Kirsha and Yashvi, along with Dipi’s sister Mishti Sharma. June brought new characters Jeremy Newell and Mannix Foster, while July featured Evan Lewis and Fay Brennan. The character Hamish Roche was added in September. November introduced Cassius Grady (who remained uncredited until May 2018) and Rory Zemiro, with Joanne Schwartz making her debut in December.

Andrea Somers

Andrea Somers, played by Madeleine West, made her first appearance on 20 January 2017. West had previously portrayed Dee Bliss, a character believed dead since 2003 following a car crash involving her husband, Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney). In September 2016, West returned to reprise Dee’s role and immediately resumed filming. However, a twist revealed in a February 2017 episode disclosed that "Dee" was actually an impostor named Andrea Somers, who assumed Dee’s identity to gain access to the Bliss family inheritance. Andrea enlisted her daughter, Willow Somers (Mieke Billing-Smith), in the deception by asserting that Willow was Toadie's child.

West made an unexpected comeback on 14 August 2017 without prior announcement, fueling rumors about the genuine Dee’s return. She also appeared during the season finale on 8 December 2017, covertly observing Toadie’s vow renewal ceremony. Andrea’s presence was confirmed onscreen as she spied on Toadie in early 2018 episodes. Flashbacks shown on 27 June 2018 revealed that Andrea became pregnant following a relationship with Toadie but fled afterward, leaving their son Hugo Somers (John Turner) in the care of Sindi Watts (Marisa Warrington). In July 2019, it was unveiled that Andrea and Dee are twins separated at birth.

Jasmine Udagawa

Jasmine Udagawa, portrayed by Kaori Maeda-Judge, first appeared on 26 January 2017 as a recurring figure challenging business rival Paul Robinson. Jasmine becomes entangled in the mystery concerning the parentage of David Tanaka and Leo Tanaka, initially focusing on Leo to block his inheritance of Lassiter's. She schemes to undermine his backpacker business to push him out of Erinsborough.

Terese Willis grows wary of Jasmine’s vendetta and uncovers a confidential file revealing Leo’s potential claim to Lassiter's. Daniel Kilkelly from Digital Spy described Jasmine’s aggressive maneuvers as a pivotal plot development, with the storyline progressing as Amy Williams (Neighbours) discovers Jasmine’s dossier on Leo. It later emerges that Jasmine’s suspicions regarding Leo are mistaken.

Terese initially assumes Jasmine is an assistant to her investor brother-in-law James Udagawa (Samuel David Humphrey), but Jasmine introduces herself as James’s sister and inspects Lassiter's operations firsthand. James cautions Terese about Jasmine’s motives, explaining that she persuaded their grandfather to allow her involvement in the family enterprise. Jasmine brings their grandfather, Toshiro Udagawa, to a Lassiter's event, where he reacts strongly upon hearing Leo’s name. She instructs Terese to sabotage Paul’s business and subsequently shifts her attention toward forcing Leo out of Erinsborough.

After reading Jasmine’s confidential file on Leo, Terese prompts Amy to delve deeper into the matter. Jasmine attempts to bribe Leo, which raises his doubts about their connection. When confronted, Toshiro contacts Kim Tanaka, who clarifies that Leo and David are not related to the Udagawas but are Paul’s biological sons. Following this revelation, Jasmine suspects Terese is unwell and discovers she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Jasmine then informs Terese that the Udagawa board intends to withdraw their investment from Lassiter's.

Willow Somers

Willow Somers, brought to life by Mieke Billing-Smith, made her first appearance on 31 January 2017. Introduced as the teenage daughter of Andrea Somers (Madeleine West), Willow became a focal point in a plot where Andrea impersonates Dee Bliss to deceive Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney). Executive producer Jason Herbison commended both the character’s complexity and Billing-Smith’s portrayal, highlighting Willow’s potential for future storylines. She appeared sporadically from 2017 through 2019.

Willow’s storyline is deeply intertwined with her complicated familial connections and her participation in cons masterminded by her mother, Andrea. Initially, Andrea brings Willow to Erinsborough with the intent to trick Toadie into believing Willow is his daughter. Though hesitant, Willow supports the ruse and forms a connection with Toadie through her aspirations of becoming a pilot, benefiting from his assistance to enroll in a private school. She becomes involved in a counterfeit identification scheme and attempts to blackmail using altered photographs. After escaping to London with Andrea, Willow returns alone, seeking shelter with Toadie and Sonya Rebecchi (Eve Morey) after severing ties with her mother.

Facing financial hardship, Willow accepts a job at Sonya’s garden nursery and receives housing support from Toadie. She discovers that her biological father, Fergus Olsen (Andrew Percy), resides in Port Macquarie and ultimately opts to live with him. Her exit includes farewells that suggest possible romantic feelings toward Ben.

Willow makes subsequent appearances during significant family moments, such as Sonya and Toadie’s vow renewal ceremony and memorials following Sonya’s passing due to ovarian cancer. She becomes instrumental in exposing the deceitful actions of Andrea and grandmother Heather Schilling (Kerry Armstrong) against the Rebecchis, including the poisoning of Sonya.

Later plots reveal Andrea’s ongoing manipulations, including another instance of impersonating Dee Bliss to swindle Toadie. Willow plays a crucial role in bringing Andrea’s schemes to light, resulting in Andrea’s arrest and hospitalization. Rejecting her mother, Willow returns to Port Macquarie and pursues pilot training while maintaining contact with Dee Bliss, Andrea’s twin sister.

The trajectory of Willow Somers underscores themes of familial allegiance, deception, and perseverance within the intricate personal dynamics that drive the series’ drama and viewer investment.

Finn Kelly

Finn Kelly, played by Rob Mills, first appeared on 15 March 2017. The casting announcement was made on 15 November 2016, with Mills commencing filming shortly thereafter. Finn is introduced as a forward-thinking and well-regarded teacher at Erinsborough High, employed by Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne), and revealed as the former boyfriend of Elly Conway (Jodi Anasta). Executive producer Jason Herbison described Finn as "a truly compelling character" harboring unexpected secrets. Following his initial guest stint, critic Johnathon Hughes from Radio Times labeled Finn "one of the most villainous characters Neighbours has ever featured." Mills reprised the role in 2018 and was elevated to the main cast in 2019.

Mishti Sharma

Mishti Sharma, brought to life by Scarlet Vas, made her first appearance on 18 April 2017. Her introduction was revealed on 27 March. Mishti is the sibling of Dipi Rebecchi (Sharon Johal) and arrives in Erinsborough accompanied by Dipi's spouse, Shane Rebecchi (Nicholas Coghlan). Coghlan highlighted that Mishti serves as a strong support system for Shane as he weighs the idea of moving, portraying them as trusted allies. While seeking a new beginning in Erinsborough, Mishti carries an enigmatic and somber presence.

Dipi Rebecchi

Dipi Rebecchi, portrayed by Sharon Johal, first appeared on 24 April 2017. Although initially auditioning for the role of Mishti, Johal was cast as Dipi after the character underwent some modifications by the producers. Dipi is married to Shane Rebecchi and is the sister-in-law of established character Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney). The family, which includes daughters Yashvi (Olivia Junkeer) and Kirsha Rebecchi (Vani Dhir), returned to Erinsborough after a 22-year absence. Dipi is depicted as lively and optimistic, infusing those around her with energy. She also takes on the responsibility of managing the lease for Harold Café.

Kirsha Rebecchi

Kirsha Rebecchi, played by Vani Dhir, debuted on 24 April 2017. Dhir secured the role through her involvement with the Young Australian Broadway Chorus stage school. Kirsha is the younger daughter of Shane and Dipi Rebecchi, portrayed as bright yet reserved, facing challenges in fitting in after relocating to Erinsborough. Dhir departed from the series on 22 November 2019 when Kirsha moves to Sydney to pursue a scholarship, though she returned periodically for guest spots until December 2020.

Arriving in Erinsborough alongside her family, Shane rents Number 32 Ramsay Street and purchases Harold's Café for Dipi. Kirsha initially struggles to settle but forms a friendship with Jimmy Williams based on shared experiences. She endures minor burns and partial hearing loss due to a fireworks accident, prompting her and her family to learn sign language together. Despite encountering bullying related to her hearing impairment, Kirsha gradually builds confidence through supportive friendships and school involvement.

She participates in community activities such as the Face of Lassiters competition but confesses to defacing posters out of fear of bullying; this leads to her family’s disqualification following blackmail by Marisa Taylor. Kirsha also survives a poisoning at school and a hostage crisis at the café, demonstrating considerable resilience.

After selling their home, the Rebecchis move in with their uncle Toadfish Rebecchi. Kirsha champions Elly Conway at school and expresses her ambition to obtain a scholarship in Sydney. Although initially met with parental concern due to anxiety issues, she earns acceptance and leaves independently to prove her maturity. She makes brief returns for family milestones like Yashvi’s police academy graduation and science camp.

Yashvi Rebecchi

Yashvi Rebecchi, enacted by Olivia Junkeer, first appeared on 24 April 2017. Announced on 27 March 2017, Yashvi is the elder daughter of Shane (Nicholas Coghlan) and Dipi Rebecchi (Sharon Johal). Known as a "spirited troublemaker," she exhibits boldness and self-assurance, enjoying pranks and attention without being truly malicious—more of an opportunist than an antagonist. On 5 July 2021, Junkeer confirmed her exit after four and a half years on the show, citing both her on-screen family's departure and a personal desire for new challenges. Her final scenes were broadcast the following week.

Jeremy Newell

Jeremy "Jezza" Newell, portrayed by Robbie Ryde, made his initial appearance on 22 June 2017. Ryde's casting was revealed on 8 June, having previously featured as an extra. Jeremy works as a carpenter and is seen during party scenes alongside Amy Williams (Zoe Cramond). Ryde characterized Jeremy as a challenging antagonist whose viewpoints were difficult to embody.

During Amy’s housewarming event at Lassiter’s Penthouse, Jeremy observes David Tanaka (Takaya Honda) and Tom Quill (Kane Felsinger) sharing a kiss. David tries to engage him in friendly conversation, but Jeremy responds with homophobic comments and cautions Amy against allowing her son Jimmy (Darcy Tadich) to be influenced by David. Offended by his remarks, Amy threatens to remove him from the gathering, leading to his departure.

Mannix Foster

Mannix Foster, brought to life by Sam Webb, first appeared on 26 June 2017. Webb’s involvement was confirmed in March 2017, with Mannix introduced as a problematic figure from Leo Tanaka (Tim Kano)’s past. Known as "a troublesome face from his past," Mannix is mistakenly suspected of being an informant and turns to Leo for help after being stabbed. Leo’s brother David Tanaka provides medical treatment, revealing that Mannix had reported a nightclub’s illegal operations to the authorities, which resulted in the attack. After receiving threats from Leo’s father Paul Robinson, Mannix vanishes from the area.

Mannix makes a brief reappearance in a 2018 flashback and returns again in early 2019. Webb reprised this role in 2020 when Mannix is exposed as having swindled Paul’s acquaintance Jane Harris (Annie Jones).

Leo arranges for Mannix to stay at the Robinsons motel, where co-owner Stephanie Scully grows suspicious due to frequent visitors and a bag of cash discovered in his room. Paul demands that Mannix leave, prompting Leo to relocate him to a backpackers’ hostel despite his worsening injuries. Mannix explains he was blamed for exposing the Renshaws’ money laundering scheme through a nightclub, which led to his stabbing. Secretly, David steals morphine to treat him.

Paul later admits orchestrating threats against Mannix and abandoning him; meanwhile, Delaney Renshaw falsely claims Mannix has died. However, Leo encounters Mannix alive, who confesses to blackmailing David over stolen hospital medication before leaving town after Paul intervenes.

Intent on revenge against Paul, Mannix cons Jane out of her savings through catfishing tactics. When confronted by Paul, Mannix reveals he spent the money on a car and threatens to reveal messages exchanged with Jane for further extortion. Paul forces Mannix to repay Jane by working under him. Jane confronts Mannix but refuses any reconciliation, warning of consequences from Paul.

Later, Mannix moves in as a flatmate with Mackenzie Hargreaves (Georgie Stone), though he keeps his room locked and is cautious about visitors. During a police raid at their apartment, Mannix escapes but is apprehended at Paul’s house after attempting to clear his debt with stolen goods. He is arrested after claiming he was surveying houses for potential burglary.

Evan Lewis

Evan Lewis, played by Joe Klocek, first appeared on 7 July 2017. Introduced as a competing mechanic to Ben Kirk (Felix Mallard), Evan was hired by Tyler Brennan (Travis Burns) as an apprentice at Fitzgerald Motors, bringing more expertise than Ben. He also emerged as a possible romantic interest for Yashvi Rebecchi (Olivia Junkeer), bonding over their shared enthusiasm for BMX biking.

At Fitzgerald Motors, Evan quickly established dominance, leading Tyler to assign Ben less desirable tasks. Evan connected with Yashvi through their mutual BMX passion, resulting in several interactions including bike repairs and social outings. Their relationship deteriorated when Yashvi discovered Evan was the online troll targeting Piper Willis (Mavournee Hazel). Following a confrontation involving a car accident and blackmail attempts, Evan resigned from his position. After an investigation led by Yashvi’s aunt Mishti Sharma (Scarlet Vas), Evan was arrested and received a 12-month good behaviour bond.

Fay Brennan

Fay Brennan, played by Zoe Bertram, made her debut on 28 July 2017. Bertram's casting was revealed on 17 July 2017; she had previously appeared on the series in 2011. Fay is the mother of Mark, Aaron Brennan, and Tyler Brennan. Her introduction was adjusted following the passing of actor Russell Kiefel, who portrayed their father, leading to changes in the storyline. Fay's presence introduces familial conflicts and confrontations, especially with Tyler and Aaron. She returned in August 2020 as her Huntington's disease progressed and reprised the role for a final guest appearance in early 2021, with her character’s death broadcast on 8 March 2021.

Fay arrives in Erinsborough to reconnect with her sons. While Mark is welcoming, Aaron is wary of her unexpected visit. She expresses remorse to Tyler for leaving them under their abusive father Russell’s care, resulting in their reconciliation, though Aaron remains bitter. Fay declines a call from Russell and later learns he has suffered a heart attack; she informs her sons about his passing. It is revealed that during a difficult period in her marriage, Fay had an affair, meaning Tyler is not Russell’s biological child. This disclosure intensifies family tensions, particularly with Tyler, who initially rejects her.

After settling in Erinsborough, Fay takes over management of The Waterhole and provides financial support to her daughter Chloe Brennan. She resigns from her position and returns to Adelaide when Tyler faces difficulties in prison but comes back to escort Aaron down the aisle at his wedding to David Tanaka. Fay later discloses her Huntington's diagnosis and opts for testing; once confirmed, she plans a trip to Bali to be near Tyler.

Fay returns for Mark and Elly Conway’s wedding, attempting to ease family disputes but departs after encouraging reconciliation between Mark and Elly. As her health deteriorates, Fay moves back to Adelaide with assistance from her children. Chloe invites Fay to live with her and husband Pierce Greyson, arranging for accessibility modifications and hiring live-in nurse Nicolette Stone.

Despite underlying strains related to Chloe and Pierce’s marriage, Fay develops a close relationship with Nicolette. After Chloe suffers a miscarriage, Fay organizes a baby shower but soon decides to return to Adelaide. Later, when Chloe separates from Pierce due to his infidelity revealed by Nicolette, Fay supports the shifting family dynamics while growing closer to Nicolette, even updating her will in Nicolette’s favor.

With her condition worsening rapidly, Fay embarks on completing a bucket list but contracts pneumonia following an infection caused by eating chocolates. Surrounded by family members, she passes away peacefully; her funeral is held in Adelaide.

Hamish Roche

Hamish Roche, portrayed by Sean Taylor, first appeared on 4 September 2017 as a recurring figure in Neighbours. Introduced as Tyler Brennan’s biological father following revelations about an affair involving Tyler’s mother Fay Brennan, Hamish is characterized as a "smooth operator" who seeks to build relationships with Tyler and his brothers while concealing complicated intentions tied to family secrets.

A property developer by profession, Hamish’s narrative focuses on his manipulative attempts to claim a boat inheritance and avoid tax obligations. He employs deceitful strategies such as undermining Tyler’s workplace and fabricating infidelity claims to alienate him from family support. Hamish partners with Louise McLeod in schemes involving inheritance fraud and murder.

His criminal conduct culminates in poisoning Louise when she threatens to expose him. Despite these efforts, evidence surfaces revealing Hamish’s bankruptcy and illicit activities. After a confrontation with Tyler, Hamish is found dead, prompting a police investigation. Tyler admits to assaulting him and is incarcerated; subsequent revelations disclose that Hamish was ultimately drowned by another son, Cassius Grady.

Hamish’s storyline explores themes of betrayal and manipulation within the property development sector, affecting several characters’ paths before his death in November 2017 and brief return through flashbacks in 2018.

Cassius Grady

Cassius Grady, played by Joe Davidson, made his first appearance on 6 November 2017, initially as an uncredited background character. His official casting was confirmed on 18 May 2018. Davidson described his fellow cast members as "approachable and genuine." Cassius works as a gardener, with his storyline gradually revealing a darker side, including the shocking truth that he killed his father, Hamish Roche (Sean Taylor). His final episode aired on 6 November 2018.

In Ramsay Street, Cassius advertises his gardening services and is hired by Sheila Canning to care for her garden. Although met with doubt from Karl Kennedy and Shane Rebecchi, he strives to demonstrate his competence but is ultimately dismissed following conflicts involving their spouses. He becomes romantically involved with Piper Willis, though their relationship is complicated by Piper’s lingering feelings for her jailed ex-boyfriend, Tyler Brennan.

Xanthe Canning uncovers that Cassius is the anonymous book annotator Piper has been investigating. Their bond grows stronger after Piper learns more about him. Cassius helps Xanthe with rehabilitation after an injury but declines her invitation to stay at Number 26, concerned about awkwardness due to Xanthe’s crush on him. When Piper starts a new job, Sonya Rebecchi employs Cassius at the nursery.

Cassius faces turmoil when his mother, Elissa Gallow, arrives in Erinsborough urging him to leave before his secret is revealed. It comes to light that Cassius drowned Hamish in the Canning family spa and allowed his half-brother Tyler to be blamed. Returning under the guise of a gardener, he aims to recover a medallion dropped during the incident but refuses to leave because of his affection for Piper.

Bea Nilsson catches Cassius stealing Tyler’s legal file from Rebecchi Law, sparking tension between them. After Piper suggests counseling, Cassius agrees and they become intimate. When Elissa plans to escape to Senegal, Cassius attempts to persuade Piper to go with him, but she declines. Confronted by Piper as he tries to flee town, Cassius admits to murdering Hamish; she contacts authorities and he is taken into custody.

At the police station, Cassius initially remains silent until assured of his mother’s safety but ultimately confesses. He is sent to Warrinor Prison and apologizes to Sheila for the pain caused by Hamish’s death. Despite restrictions preventing contact with Piper, Bea and Ned visit him to discuss the repercussions of his actions. Tyler also confronts Cassius about having lost years of his life due to the false blame.

Cassius suffers an assault in prison requiring surgery; Ned apologizes after revealing he secured protection for him through a gang connection. Following a pregnancy scare that proves false, Piper bids farewell to Cassius.

Rory Zemiro

Rory Zemiro, portrayed by Ash Williams, first appeared on 7 November 2017. Transitioning from comedy roles into drama, Williams described Rory as a "mischievous" character juggling business responsibilities and romantic pursuits. Rory is an exotic dancer and Aaron Brennan’s (Matt Wilson) former partner. Their relationship began within a dance troupe, and Rory believes they can reignite their past romance.

After spotting Aaron on Instagram, Rory locates him in Paris and charms his way into Aaron’s hotel room. He informs Aaron that their old dance group Rough Trade is touring Europe and encourages him to reconnect with the troupe. Later in Erinsborough, Rory witnesses Aaron’s boyfriend David Tanaka (Takaya Honda) propose marriage. After injuring his back at Aaron’s gym, The Shed, Rory receives treatment from David and is subsequently offered a yoga instructor position at The Flame Tree Retreat by Amy Williams (Zoe Cramond). Rory asks Aaron to cover an audition and teaches him choreography to rejoin Rough Trade.

David discovers Rory and Aaron’s history along with their Paris encounter, leading to David ending his relationship with Aaron. Rory observes Aaron attempting reconciliation with David but continues pursuing Aaron himself, including sharing a kiss. They later find out that Rough Trade fan Mick Allsop (Joel Creasey) is visiting town. While Aaron believed Mick was obsessed with him, it turns out Mick had a casual relationship with Rory during their dating phase. Upon uncovering Rory’s deception—breaking up with him and removing him from Rough Trade—Aaron severs ties with Rory and demands he leave his life behind.

Joanne Schwartz

Joanne Schwartz, played by Val Lehman, made her debut on 1 December 2017. Her casting was revealed on 5 September 2017. Lehman recorded her scenes at the Nunawading studios, a location familiar to her from working on the Prisoner show during the 1980s. This guest appearance reunited her with former Prisoner co-star Colette Mann. Lehman expressed both surprise and excitement about joining the Neighbours ensemble. Joanne is introduced as an old acquaintance of Sheila Canning (Mann), which sets up a tense dynamic between the two.

Back in high school, Joanne and Sheila were close friends until a dispute arose over tickets to see Daddy Cool. Additionally, Joanne invited Sheila's school crush and eventual spouse, Frank Canning, to a dance, which worsened their fallout. Years later, Joanne returns to Erinsborough aiming to mend their relationship, sparking confrontations about past misunderstandings and envy. At Sheila's solo show, Joanne’s loud laughter disrupts the performance, causing Sheila to briefly exit the stage. Joanne confesses her jealousy and explains she was meant to purchase the Daddy Cool tickets but got sidetracked by her Knitting Nancy. The plot resolves with Sheila suggesting they attend a concert featuring Daddy Cool’s lead singer Ross Wilson, provided Joanne buys the tickets.
