Neighbours, the Australian soap opera broadcast on digital channel 10 Peach, introduced a range of new characters throughout 2020 under the guidance of executive producer Jason Herbison. Notable debuts included Lisa Rowsthorn and Zenin Alexio in January; Owen Campbell, Emmett Donaldson, Levi Canning, and Louis Curtain in June; Brent Colefax and Nicolette Stone in July; Rose Walker in August; followed by Nathan Packard and Jay Rebecchi later that year.
Lisa Rowsthorn
Lisa Rowsthorn, played by Jane Allsop, made her first appearance on 20 January 2020. Introduced as the mother of Hendrix Greyson (Ben Turland), Lisa arrives in Erinsborough aiming to address Hendrix’s rebellious actions, which notably include stealing a nude photograph of his stepmother, Chloe Brennan (April Rose Pengilly). Her presence introduces tension within the family, particularly impacting the marriage of Pierce Greyson (Tim Robards) and Chloe. Lisa is portrayed as both pragmatic and controlling, with her request for Pierce to father another child adding further strain.
Upon discovering Hendrix has been residing with the Kennedy family rather than with Pierce, Lisa accepts this living arrangement. She offers Hendrix the option to return home, but he declines, choosing instead to confront his issues independently. A crucial plotline reveals Lisa’s request for Pierce to conceive another child via IVF as part of a financial arrangement that allowed him to launch his business while she retained custody of their children, which causes friction between her and Hendrix.
Lisa suggests a co-parenting arrangement involving Pierce and Chloe for the new child; however, Chloe ultimately refuses. Later, Aaron Brennan and David Tanaka express willingness to co-parent with Lisa, but Paul Robinson opposes these plans. When Lisa discovers she is pregnant by an ex-boyfriend, these co-parenting discussions end. She travels to Sydney to inform her former partner and subsequently announces the birth of their daughter, Maeve Rowsthorn (Beatrix Van Vliet).
In a subsequent storyline, Hendrix visits Lisa in Sydney after being diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis that necessitates a lung transplant. Lisa supports him through his illness and attends his wedding to Mackenzie Hargreaves (Georgie Stone). Following Hendrix’s death due to complications from organ rejection, Lisa publicly confronts Sadie Rodwell (Emerald Chan), who was responsible for the fire that led to his condition, and delivers a eulogy at his funeral.
Zenin Alexio
Zenin Alexio, portrayed by Axle Whitehead, appeared for the first time on 24 January 2020. His casting was revealed in Inside Soap magazine shortly before debuting. Zenin is introduced as a "shady looking guy" connected to an illegal fight ring involving Ned Willis (Ben Hall) and Yashvi Rebecchi (Olivia Junkeer). He threatens both Ned and Yashvi, suspecting they are close to exposing his illicit activities. Whitehead described Zenin as a menacing villain who relishes intimidation and the "cat-and-mouse" dynamic, showing little concern for human life. He praised the role for its action sequences and expressed interest in returning as the character.
Zenin’s initial appearance occurs at Harold's Café where he overhears Ned and Yashvi discussing her police exam. He follows Ned back to Ramsay Street and breaks into his home to confront him about the fight ring. Believing Ned has shared information with Yashvi or law enforcement, Zenin warns them against speaking out. After Ned reveals that a lawyer possesses a statement containing all details, Zenin escalates by sabotaging Yashvi's vehicle and threatening Ned’s lawyer, Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney). He arranges a deal with Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan) involving a 3D-printed firearm and coerces Yashvi into working for him under duress.
The storyline reaches its climax when Zenin captures Ned at his warehouse, taking him hostage until police arrive. Yashvi intervenes, forcing Zenin to fire a warning shot before being arrested. It is later disclosed that Yashvi was collaborating with a police task force aiming to dismantle Zenin’s criminal enterprise.
Gavin Bowman
Gavin Bowman, brought to life by Cameron MacDonald, made his debut on 31 March 2020 as Dr. Bowman and reappeared on 6 May 2024. He is a psychiatrist working at Erinsborough Hospital, initially tasked with treating Haz Devkar following an accident. Presented as a "new antagonist," Gavin becomes entwined in a plot involving Remi Varga-Murphy and plays a pivotal role in several medical and ethical dilemmas.
Gavin oversees the care of Finn Kelly after David Tanaka suffers an injury, later confronting David over overlooked indicators in Finn’s mental health. He criticizes David’s case management, escalating tensions within the hospital setting. After Haz’s accident, Gavin provides treatment and observes Remi’s application for the Senior Medical Officer position, questioning her connection to Cara Varga-Murphy.
At Karl Kennedy’s farewell gathering, Gavin makes inappropriate remarks regarding Remi and Cara, leading Karl to report him to human resources. Nevertheless, Gavin continues his clinical duties, including treating Dex Varga-Murphy following a poisoning incident. His involvement alarms colleagues, prompting Remi and Cara to prohibit him from overseeing Dex’s care.
Gavin develops a theory concerning the poisoning incidents and successfully treats Dex but draws suspicion when he consents to a podcast interview about the events. Holly Hoyland investigates Gavin, uncovering his identity as the serial poisoner targeting patients at the hospital. She catches him administering poison in food, which results in Gavin taking her hostage.
While holding Holly captive in his apartment, Gavin attempts to rationalize his actions, revealing motives linked to safeguarding his career amid sexual harassment accusations. After restraining Holly, he prepares to escape but is intercepted when Karl, Remi, and law enforcement arrive. A confrontation ensues; Holly manages to flee while Gavin is subdued but injects himself with poison before being apprehended.
Medical evaluations confirm Gavin remains stable under police supervision. Evidence surfaces indicating plans to drug Holly and flee internationally. He faces multiple charges including kidnapping, illegal possession of controlled substances, and poisoning.
One year later, upon release from prison, Gavin embarks on a disastrous online date using an alias. Jane Harris recognizes him as the poisoner and publicly confronts him. The community becomes aware of his parole despite administrative errors that excluded some victims from notification lists, raising concerns about public safety and victims’ rights.
Owen Campbell
Owen Campbell, portrayed by Johnny Ruffo, first appeared on 8 June 2020. His casting was revealed on 28 May 2020, with Ruffo completing a six-episode guest role filmed in March. He described the production pace as "rapid" and commended the cast and crew's professionalism. Owen serves as a prison officer.
While working at Goodwood Women's Prison, Owen encounters Dee Bliss (Madeleine West) and recognizes her family ties. The two develop a rapport through shared coffee breaks and gardening activities. It emerges that Owen is collaborating with Andrea Somers, who uses seduction to manipulate him for favors within the prison system. He assists Dee and Heather Schilling in joining a visitors’ gardening program.
Owen instigates a lockdown by planting a shiv on an inmate and subsequently drugs Dee to facilitate Andrea’s escape by swapping clothing with her. He also secures accommodation for Andrea and her son Hugo Somers (John Turner). When Andrea stops reciprocating his affections, Owen takes money she had asked him to hide and informs Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) of her location.
Emmett Donaldson
Emmett Donaldson, portrayed by Ezra Justin, made his debut on 10 June 2020. Introduced within a fostering narrative, Emmett is taken in by David Tanaka (Takaya Honda) and Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson). His early scenes were directed by Deborra-lee Furness, the founder of Adopt Change, highlighting the series' commitment to themes surrounding adoption and foster care. Justin returned to the role in 2021 when Emmett comes back accompanied by his brother Brent Colefax (Texas Watterston).
After a previous foster placement ended due to conflict and suspension issues, social worker Leila Potts (Jing-Xuan Chan) introduces Emmett to David and Aaron. Initially intended as a short-term stay of one week, Emmett begins attending Erinsborough High and receives additional tutoring to address academic difficulties. He develops a complex friendship with Louis Curtain (Declan Dennis), which results in complications such as accepting blame for Louis’s misconduct.
Emmett’s half-brother Brent arrives but quickly creates tension; Brent’s inappropriate conduct leads to his removal from the home. Emmett experiences a neck injury after falling from a roof but recovers following medical treatment. Their mother, Jenna Donaldson (Anna Lise Phillips), appears intermittently, grappling with sobriety and briefly working at Lassiter's Hotel before being let go.
When Emmett’s aunt Linda Donaldson (Amelia Best) returns from New Zealand offering to foster both him and Brent, Emmett opts to live with her, departing from David and Aaron on amicable terms.
In 2021, Emmett returns expressing a desire to leave Linda’s care. With social worker approval, David and Aaron resume fostering him. After Brent runs away, Paul Robinson encourages Jenna to assume full-time responsibility for Emmett. Jenna suggests moving to New Zealand; Emmett consents and leaves Erinsborough alongside his mother following farewells with significant residents.
Levi Canning
Levi Canning, played by Richie Morris, was introduced on 15 June 2020. Morris relocated from Sydney to Melbourne for filming, marking his television acting debut. Levi belongs to the well-known Canning family as Sheila Canning’s grandson and Kyle Canning’s cousin. Morris described Levi as "very passionate, cheeky, and charming," emphasizing his dedication as a police constable. Raised by his father Frank Canning Jr. and mother Jackie, Levi's character conceals several secrets. His mother, Evelyn Farlow, was introduced in August 2021 to further develop his background.
Louis Curtain
Louis Curtain, enacted by Declan Dennis, first appeared on 26 June 2020. Dennis is the son of Stefan Dennis (Paul Robinson), although their characters do not share scenes together. Louis is depicted as "Erinsborough's newest antagonist." Dennis mentioned that while his father assisted in creating the character, he did not influence the depiction of Louis as the "villain." After an initial guest appearance, Dennis returned briefly in 2021 and again in 2022.
Louis’s story arcs include interactions with Emmett Donaldson, where he manipulates Emmett into taking responsibility for his misdeeds and causes trouble through an incident involving a drone that injures Sheila Canning. He also ridicules fellow student Hendrix Greyson for repeating Year 12 and seeks peer approval by causing disruptions at Harold's Café. Additionally, he engages in classroom pranks targeting teacher Jane Harris.
Brent Colefax
Brent Colefax, played by Texas Watterston, made his first appearance on 13 July 2020. Originally signed for an eight-episode arc, Watterston ultimately filmed approximately 50 episodes after the producers extended his involvement. Matt Wilson (Aaron Brennan) commended both Watterston and Justin Ezra (Emmett Donaldson) for their strong performances, expressing hope that they would become permanent cast members. In October 2021, Watterston shared his contentment with the guest role, valuing its flexibility and significance, while remaining open to a full-time position depending on future plot developments. He emphasized Brent's evolution from a troubled teenager to an army recruit, noting the character’s development alongside his playful demeanor.
Brent's narrative includes a rivalry with Hendrix Greyson centered around Harlow Robinson. Watterston explained that Brent’s initial antagonism was part of a scheme to disrupt Hendrix’s final year of school and win Harlow’s attention. The writers crafted a romantic storyline between Brent and Harlow; Jade Donovan (Harlow) collaborated closely with the team to ensure the relationship felt genuine. Their romance illustrated Brent’s wish for transformation, although Harlow eventually questioned the strength of their bond. Brent exited the show in May 2021 but made a brief return in October, during which he ended the relationship after observing changes in Harlow.
As Emmett Donaldson’s older half-brother, Brent arrives in Erinsborough aiming to look after Emmett. He comes into conflict with foster carers David Tanaka and Aaron Brennan over Emmett’s well-being. Brent encourages Emmett to take risks, which results in injury and escalates tensions with Paul Robinson. After confrontations and clashes with Aaron, Brent returns to care but keeps in touch with Emmett and considers living with their mother once he turns 18.
Upon returning, Brent hides out at Aaron and David’s bar before agreeing to finish Year 12. His feud with Hendrix reignites, intensifying through school disputes involving property damage and leaked confidential documents. Despite these challenges, initiatives like a Year 13 independent study program continue under Jane Harris’s supervision. Brent develops romantic feelings for Harlow, presenting her with personal files as a gesture of trust. Their relationship creates tension with Paul Robinson.
Brent encounters threats from Holden Brice amid local vandalism and crimes affecting neighbors such as Nicolette Stone. When Emmett’s aunt attempts to take him to New Zealand, Brent enlists Aaron and David’s assistance; Nicolette moves out to improve Emmett’s prospects due to her criminal history. Brent confronts Paul regarding his relationship with Harlow. After recovering a lost ring, Brent uncovers Holden’s involvement in criminal acts and attacks on residents.
Following a robbery at The Hive, both Brent and Holden are arrested and charged. With Toadie Rebecchi representing him legally, Brent faces false allegations from Holden but chooses to enlist in the Australian Defence Force rather than face imprisonment. He is stationed in New South Wales and maintains a long-distance relationship with Harlow. Prior to leaving, he supports Harlow’s plan involving Jesse Porter posing as her boyfriend to counter Paul’s interference.
Several months later, Brent returns briefly after discovering Paul paid Holden for false testimony against him. When Harlow sides with Paul, Brent ends their relationship, stating she has changed, before departing for New Zealand to live with his brother and mother.
Nicolette Stone
Nicolette Stone, played by Charlotte Chimes, made her first appearance on 15 July 2020. The announcement of both the casting and character came on 27 June 2020. Nicolette is introduced as the long-absent daughter of Jane Harris (Annie Jones), aligning with Jane's permanent comeback to the show. Her backstory reveals a strained relationship with Jane following Nicolette’s revelation of her sexual orientation as a lesbian. Jones highlighted that Nicolette's arrival would shed light on Jane’s family background.
On 22 July 2021, Nicolette was dropped from the opening credits during a storyline where she fled Erinsborough; initially, the production kept her whereabouts unknown. She was seen again in scenes set in Canberra on 9 and 10 August, before returning to Erinsborough on 20 September, at which point she was reinstated in the opening titles later that week. Nicolette’s final episode aired during the Neighbours finale on 28 July 2022.
Rose Walker
Rose Walker, portrayed by Lucy Durack, debuted on screen on 27 August 2020. Durack’s casting was revealed on 18 June 2020, with filming commencing shortly thereafter. Rose is introduced as a junior beauty therapist and personal assistant employed by Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) at his law practice. She is a mother to two teenagers and is navigating a divorce from her husband James Solomon (Bert La Bonté). Durack described Rose’s rapport with Toadie as playful, often involving office pranks. Her initial storyline concluded on 30 September 2020, but she returned in August 2021 amid a romantic triangle involving Toadie and his partner Melanie Pearson (Lucinda Cowden).
Rose applies for an assistant position at Toadie’s temporary office located within Lassiter's Hotel, where mutual interests lead to a trial period. Although she initially struggles with legal technology systems, she proves instrumental in maintaining client relationships. Nevertheless, Rose’s inadequate IT skills and misuse of her role to access information about her husband’s company lead to her dismissal once Toadie discovers these actions. Subsequently, she faces financial hardships including frozen bank accounts and an unfavorable divorce settlement that excludes child support. With Toadie’s help, Rose obtains employment at the Lassiter’s day spa but finds adapting to the new role challenging. Their professional relationship evolves into a romantic one, culminating in a date complicated by confrontations with her estranged husband.
After attempting to reconcile with James, Rose leaves but returns later to oversee the Shorts and Briefs Film Festival. Her presence rekindles old feelings for Toadie, creating tension with his partner Melanie Pearson. While managing the festival professionally, Rose harbors personal intentions that lead to conflicts with Melanie, including incidents that affect both the event and their interactions. Despite acts of manipulation—such as sabotaging Melanie’s film entry—Rose ultimately recognizes Toadie’s lasting affection for Melanie. She congratulates Melanie on winning the competition and expresses hope for maintaining a friendship with Toadie moving forward.
Nathan Packard
Nathan "Packo" Packard, brought to life by Jackson Gallagher, first appeared on 4 November 2020. His casting was revealed by TV Soap in October 2020, emphasizing Nathan’s link to Levi Canning (Richie Morris) and his romantic involvement with Bea Nilsson (Bonnie Anderson). Gallagher characterized Nathan as a "rebellious young man" and a childhood companion of Levi’s cousin Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan). Nathan arrives in Erinsborough with the purpose of assisting Levi in confronting a traumatic event from his past but soon becomes entangled in a romantic triangle with Bea, who shares an on-again, off-again relationship with Levi.
Owing to COVID-19 restrictions, Gallagher and Anderson filmed their romantic scenes without physical touch, relying heavily on expressive eye contact. Additionally, Anderson recorded some sequences remotely via FaceTime during quarantine following a COVID outbreak on The Masked Singer.
Kyle reaches out to Nathan to help Levi find closure regarding a previous assault, for which Nathan takes accountability by leaving an apology letter at the police station. Nathan meets Bea and they briefly date; however, Kyle urges him to end the relationship because of Bea’s connection to Levi. When Bea uncovers Nathan’s involvement in Levi’s assault, tensions rise, but Nathan assures Levi their relationship was coincidental. After conversations both online and face-to-face, Levi encourages Nathan to pursue Bea once more.
The situation intensifies when Sheila Canning confronts Nathan, resulting in an accident that causes a concussion and requires hospitalization. Following reconciliation with Bea, Nathan acknowledges her feelings for Levi and opts to leave Erinsborough alone, leaving behind a farewell note encouraging her to be with Levi.
Jay Rebecchi
Jay Rebecchi, portrayed by Dhruv Malge, made his debut on 13 November 2020. His introduction followed the leak of scripts and he is presented as the middle child of Dipi Rebecchi (Sharon Johal) and Shane Rebecchi (Nicholas Coghlan), expanding the Rebecchi family storyline. Malge described Jay as an "intelligent, self-assured teenager" who excels academically, having earned a scholarship to a boarding school in Sydney—a detail supported by his parents. His arrival coincides with family upheaval caused by Dipi's affair, with Jay's presence bringing positivity to the household. Malge’s guest stint ended on 20 January 2021, with a brief return on 30 March 2021 during his on-screen parents’ departure.
After spending several years at boarding school, Jay returns home to Erinsborough amid his parents’ marital difficulties. He quickly becomes involved in local disputes, including a confrontation between his father Shane and Pierce Greyson. Jay also navigates complicated friendships with Hendrix Greyson and Mackenzie Hargreaves, exploring themes of loyalty and maturation. His storylines involve risky behaviors such as unintentionally drugging Pierce through Hendrix’s influence and engaging in illegal card counting schemes to assist Hendrix with gambling debts.
In attempts to gain acceptance among popular peers, Jay becomes embroiled in escalating mischief: participating in an app that ranks girls at school, aiding in a staged break-in at Harold's Café, and enabling Hendrix’s gambling problems that culminate in a violent incident injuring Shane. These experiences lead Jay to accept responsibility for his actions, guided by family support.
Ultimately, Jay chooses to transfer back to Sydney as a day student to complete his final year authentically while living with his grandparents. His departure is marked by a farewell lunch and mutual recognition of feelings shared with Mackenzie. Following his exit, Jay maintains contact through video calls, reflecting ongoing relationships despite the distance.
This narrative arc highlights themes of family loyalty, adolescent struggles, and accountability within the broader context of developing the Rebecchi family storyline on the series.
