Neighbours is a soap opera from Australia that originally aired on 18 March 1985. The following section details characters who were introduced during 1987, listed according to their debut dates. All these characters were added under the guidance of executive producer Reg Watson. The show's third season commenced on 5 January 1987. That same month marked the arrival of Harold Bishop. In February, the characters Bouncer and Henry Mitchell, who is the son of the established character Madge Mitchell, were introduced. March saw Fiona Corke joining the cast as Gail Lewis, alongside Ernie Bourne portraying her adoptive father, Rob. April’s additions included the businessman Mr. Udagawa. In June, Anne Scott-Pendlebury took on the role of Hilary Robinson. July featured the introduction of physician Beverly Marshall, played by Lisa Armytage, as well as new characters Gino Rossini and Melanie Pearson. That same month also witnessed the birth of Jamie Clarke, child of Des and Daphne Clarke. August welcomed Briony Behets as Amanda Harris, while September brought in Russell Crowe as Kenny Larkin. October introduced both Sally Wells and Greg Cooper. November's new faces included athlete Pete Baxter, father to Des and Sally, Malcolm Clarke, and mechanic Tony Romeo.

Harold Bishop

Harold Bishop, portrayed by Ian Smith, made his first appearance on 30 January 1987. He departed in September 1991 but returned in October 1996, remaining on the show for over twelve years, establishing him as one of the series' most enduring characters. Smith revealed his decision to leave in August 2008; following a storyline involving cancer, Harold’s final episode aired on 27 February 2009. The actor later reprised this role with Harold returning on 9 May 2011. Harold’s personality has been characterized as "indecisive, considerate, stuffy and reserved." Ian Smith received numerous award nominations for this portrayal, including "Funniest Performance" at both the 2007 and 2008 Inside Soap Awards, alongside nods for "Best Actor" and "Best Storyline" due to Harold’s cancer narrative. In 2009, he was also shortlisted for 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 the show until 12 February 1993, spanning six years. Trained by Luke Hura, whose canine talent agency supplied the golden Labrador puppy for Neighbours, Bouncer reportedly earned between $100,000 and $200,000—surpassing the salaries of many human cast members. His fan cards became the most sought-after among the show's actors.

A memorable plotline involved Bouncer dreaming about marrying Rosie, the sheepdog belonging to Clarrie McLachlan next door—an episode that cast members considered unusual and somewhat juvenile. Thirteen weeks after filming his final scenes, Bouncer passed away from cancer at seven years old. Following his death, he received more fan tributes globally than any human actor on the series.

Lorna Cooper, MSN TV’s editor, singled out Bouncer’s dream sequence as one of Neighbours’ strangest moments, later ranking it as the second most "bizarre" storyline in the show's 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 (who played Shane Ramsay) left the show, producers aimed to introduce a new "heartthrob" to appeal to female viewers. At 21 years old with limited acting experience, McLachlan auditioned and was cast as Henry Mitchell, initially signing on for a six-week stint.

Henry was depicted as someone "living under a cloud of suspicion" due to a past criminal record but was also street-smart, charming, and a ladies' favorite. His tough exterior was softened by a playful and witty 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), played by Fiona Corke, first appeared on 11 March 1987 and left on 27 June 2007, with guest appearances in 2005, 2006, and 2007. Corke described her tenure on the series as "an incredible experience," noting its intensity and high-profile nature. In 1988, she was among 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 to celebrate the show's 20th anniversary episode, with ongoing calls for her comeback continuing through to 2009. The BBC identified her character's most memorable storyline as "Running off with the triplets." Television critic Ruth Deller from Lowculture regarded Gail as the "most memorable" among Paul's spouses. Regarding Gail’s relationship with Paul, The Sydney Morning Herald highlighted its enduring emotional complexity and importance within the series’ overarching narrative.

Rob Lewis

Robert "Rob" Lewis, portrayed by Ernie Bourne, first appeared on 17 March 1987. Known as "a decent everyday guy" who enjoyed beer and betting, Rob was also recognized as a "mechanical genius" capable of rebuilding any vehicle. One of his standout moments involved arriving intoxicated and embarrassing Gail.

Rob founded his own garage in Erinsborough and resided at Number 22 Ramsay Street alongside his adopted daughter, Gail. After Gail married Paul Robinson, Rob moved out but stayed nearby. He entered into a partnership with Harold Bishop at the garage; however, their differing temperaments caused friction, which worsened when Rob attempted to court Madge Ramsay. Rob missed Scott and Charlene’s wedding due to heavy drinking but later gifted Charlene an apprenticeship contract at the garage. When accused of theft by Harold, Rob confessed he had taken money to cover gambling debts related to horse racing. Subsequently, Harold sold his share of the business to Jim Robinson.

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

Later, Rob fell in love with Gloria Gardner despite objections from both Gail and Gloria’s son. Their engagement underscored their families’ eventual acceptance. However, after Paul uncovered that Rob was using stolen car parts to reduce expenses, an argument ensued that resulted in Rob crashing his car during a storm. Hospitalized and unconscious, Rob briefly regained consciousness before suffering cardiac arrest and passing away.

Mr Udagawa

Toshiro Udagawa, widely recognized as Mr. Udagawa and portrayed by Lawrence Mah, made his debut on 23 April 1987. His appearances were sporadic over a span of five years, with a brief return in 2017.

In a 2005 BBC survey ranking the "Top 20 Most Obscure Neighbours characters," Mr. Udagawa claimed the top spot. He was described as "an iconic Japanese businessman" characterized by a serious yet dignified demeanor. Fans expressed disappointment that he was not featured in the series' 20th anniversary events, which could have highlighted his character development.

As a client of the Daniels Corporation, Mr. Udagawa engaged in business dealings with Paul Robinson, impressed by the entrepreneurial qualities of Rosemary Daniels' family. Initial negotiations included exchanges of gifts symbolizing mutual respect, though he hesitated due to family conflicts before ultimately signing with the corporation after Gail Lewis intervened. Returning in 1989, he formed a partnership with Pacific Bank; a brief misunderstanding arose when Des Clarke attempted Japanese phrases incorrectly but was quickly resolved. In 1992, Mr. Udagawa met Paul's father, Jim Robinson, and later entrusted Paul with overseeing hotel operations in Hawaii.

After twenty-five years, Mr. Udagawa revisited Erinsborough to meet Paul at the Robinsons motel complex, formerly known as the Erins Burrow Motel. He confronted concerns about his son Hiroshi's paternity involving Leo Tanaka and maintained his investments despite Terese Willis's fabricated cancer diagnosis, persuaded by Paul to continue his support. Eventually, he managed the sale of his Lassiter's shares back to Paul.

Hilary Robinson

Hilary Robinson, played by Anne Scott-Pendlebury, first appeared on 25 June 1987. Following guest spots in 1988, she became a regular cast member in 1989 before departing on 28 February 1990. Scott-Pendlebury reprised Hilary for the show's 20th anniversary in 2005. Hilary played a significant role in storylines addressing Tax evasion, animal rights, and interference in neighbours’ personal matters. The entertainment site Lowculture labeled her as a "busybody" who nonetheless had good intentions. For the 20th anniversary, the BBC ranked her fourth among favourite obscure characters, describing her as "consistently sharp-tongued and irritable" yet "extremely humorous." Though she did not live in Erinsborough permanently, she was credited with influencing major relationships. Neighbours: The Official Annual 1991 emphasized her effect on other figures, with critics dubbing her Ramsay Street’s "strictly proper resident."

Beverly Marshall

Beverly Marshall was introduced on 6 July 1987, initially portrayed by Lisa Armytage. From 16 March 1989 until her exit on 5 September 1990, the role was taken over by Shaunna O'Grady, who returned for the series’ 20th anniversary episode in 2005. According to John Kercher’s 1989 publication, Beverly was "a strong favourite among viewers," noted especially for her "captivating" relationship with Jim. Ruth Deller referred to her as Ramsay Street’s "superdoc," while Lowculture praised Beverly as the "resident amazing and authoritative Neighbours physician," connecting characters such as Clive Gibbons and Karl Kennedy. The BBC highlighted her most memorable moment as delivering a slap to a patient, underscoring her determined and formidable personality.

Gino Rossini

Gino Rossini, played by Joey Perrone, made his first appearance on 22 July 1987 and departed on 31 July of the same year. 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 man 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 charm Mike Young's (Guy Pearce) girlfriend Jane Harris (Annie Jones). Although Daphne hires him based on his father's recommendation, Gino lacks culinary skills, leading to his father resuming the job once recovered. Before leaving, Gino briefly dates Melanie Pearson (Lucinda Cowden).

Jamie Clarke

James Kingsley "Jamie" Clarke was introduced at birth on 30 July 1987. Initially portrayed by Sarah Jane Dey, Ryder Susman briefly assumed the role in 1989 before Dey returned. Due to issues related to hair length, Dey exited the role, which was then played by brothers Nicholas and James Mason until 1990. In 2003, Angus McLaren took over the character during Jamie's return. Significant plot points include Jamie’s involvement in a car accident that left his mother Daphne in a coma and his later return in 2004 to claim his inheritance.

Melanie Pearson

Melanie Pearson (also known as Mangel), portrayed by Lucinda Cowden, first appeared on 30 July 1987 and remained until 24 October 1991. Cowden initially joined for seven episodes in 1987 and returned for six more episodes in 1988. She left to star in The Power, The Passion, but returned to Neighbours after that series ended. In 2005, Cowden reprised her role as Melanie for the show's 20th anniversary celebration.

One of Melanie’s notable storylines involved her proposal to Joe Mangel, a moment highlighted by the BBC's Neighbours website. Ian Morrison, author of Neighbours: The Official Annual 1992, described Melanie’s well-meaning but occasionally troublesome behaviour. Katy Moon from Inside Soap commended Joe and Melanie’s wedding as a refreshing and straightforward event within soap opera history, calling Melanie "bubbly" and an ideal partner for Joe. A reporter from the Coventry Telegraph referred to Melanie as "a soap favourite," depicting her as the approachable "girl next door with a loud laugh" who attracted a large audience. BBC News also acknowledged her distinctive laugh as one of the show’s memorable highlights.

Amanda Harris

Amanda Harris, enacted by Briony Behets, first appeared on screen on 13 August 1987. Introduced to expand upon Jane Harris's background, Amanda reconnects with her daughter after having abandoned her to start anew in Hong Kong. She is portrayed as a "glamorous yet ageing socialite" who vies for Jane's attention.

On 31 March 2025, Behets returned to portray Amanda after nearly four decades. Amanda comes back to Erinsborough to reside at Eirini Rising, a retirement community, aiming to rebuild relationships with her daughter and grandchildren. Her comeback scenes begin airing from 23 April 2025.

Amanda’s return follows news of her mother, Nell Mangel, suffering a heart attack. She offers to look after Nell's home and attempts to reconnect with Jane. Observing Jane’s changed appearance, Amanda manipulates her into adopting an older style that undermines Jane’s confidence while seeking personal attention. Amanda clashes with Nell's neighbour Madge Ramsay and alienates Jane's friends. When confronted by Mike Young about jealousy issues, Amanda responds by slapping him. It is later disclosed that she returned to hide after committing insurance fraud. Both Nell and Jane ask Amanda to leave; she subsequently returns to Hong Kong.

The following year, Amanda declines Jane’s invitation to Nell's wedding, drawing criticism from her brother Joe Mangel for selfish behaviour.

Many years later, Amanda moves into the Eirini Rising retirement complex where she is greeted by staff including Karl Kennedy, Susan Kennedy, and Darcy Tyler. 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 marked Crowe's initial recurring television role, spanning four episodes. Although hesitant at first, Crowe agreed to join after witnessing a dramatic fight scene featuring key cast members, which he found compelling. He remarked that his earnings from these episodes surpassed what he made during an entire season at The Melbourne Theatre. Despite rumors in the British press about a potential 2005 comeback for the show's 20th anniversary, these claims were subsequently refuted.

In later years, Crowe downplayed his connection with the series, stressing the brief nature of his involvement. Media descriptions labeled Kenny as a "small-time crook," "shady ex-convict," and "tough guy," underscoring his role as an antagonist. Reflections on Crowe’s career often cite Kenny as an early milestone before his rise to Hollywood prominence.

Within the narrative, Kenny attempts to cheat Henry in a darts game by pretending to be injured and having his sister, B.B. (Tamasin Ramsay), play on his behalf. When Henry raises the stakes, B.B. hits a bullseye, securing $100 for Henry. Subsequently, Kenny stirs conflict by memorizing the serial number of a $50 note and falsely accusing Henry’s mother, Madge (Anne Charleston), of giving him counterfeit change, resulting in a confrontation involving Henry’s employer, Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis). Kenny then initiates a campaign to discredit Henry by revealing his criminal history to clients. A physical altercation erupts between Henry and Kenny at Lassiter’s; after witnessing the fight, Paul permanently bans Kenny from the premises.

Sally Wells

Sally Wells, portrayed by Rowena Mohr, entered the series on 15 October 1987 as Des Clarke’s sister and Henry Ramsay’s romantic interest. Mohr was cast during one of the show’s most popular periods and appreciated the welcoming nature of her co-stars, which helped her acclimate quickly. Sally was depicted as determined and attractive, qualities that drew significant attention from men, particularly Henry. The character was eventually written out as she no longer aligned with future plot directions; Mohr departed to pursue acting opportunities in the UK and declined any offers to return. A key storyline for Sally involved uncovering that she had an unknown brother, Des.

Greg Cooper

Greg Cooper, enacted by Alan Fletcher, made his debut on 19 October 1987. At the time, Fletcher was active in theatre when he accepted this role, which he described as a temporary assignment filling a casting void left by Ernie Bourne’s exit. Greg functioned as Charlene Robinson’s manager at the local garage. Fletcher opted not to extend his contract in order to prioritize theatre work but returned seven years later portraying Karl Kennedy—a role he found more rewarding. Greg was introduced specifically to cover a three-week interval before Tony Romeo's arrival.

In terms of plot, Greg comes to Erinsborough to work at the garage and reconnects with Des Clarke. He reveals that his brother Colin has passed away and eventually confesses to Jim Robinson that he unintentionally caused Colin’s death during a boxing match driven by personal animosity. Although legally exonerated, Greg is burdened by guilt, prompting him to resign and leave town after recommending Tony Romeo as his successor at the garage.

Pete Baxter

Pete Baxter, played by Tony Briggs, made his first appearance on 13 November 1987. Initially introduced as a schoolmate of Mike Young (Guy Pearce), Pete also reconnects with old friends Scott Robinson (Jason Donovan) and Charlene Mitchell (Kylie Minogue). Characterized as a "carefree practical joker," Pete shares qualities with Briggs himself, being athletic, intelligent, and diligent. Notably, Briggs was the first Indigenous actor to appear on Neighbours.

Pete secures employment at Pacific Bank, working alongside Des Clarke (Paul Keane). Recognized for his sporting talent, Pete aspires to compete in the 1988 Seoul Olympics and enrolls at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra. When it becomes clear he lacks the funds to support himself during training, the community organizes a fundraising event. Des arranges for Pete to take leave from work, while Scott Robinson covers his athletic progress as a reporter and Mike Young acts as his photographer. After sustaining a running injury, Pete initially conceals it; however, with intervention from his chaperone Rachel Frazer (Pamela Hawksford), he receives necessary medical attention.

Several weeks later, Pete departs from the Institute earlier than planned due to his injury. Upon returning to Erinsborough, he admits that ignoring medical advice worsened his leg condition. Des assists him in reclaiming his bank job, and Scott motivates him to continue training with hopes of qualifying for the 1990 Commonwealth Games or 1992 Summer Olympics. Although initially resistant and curt with Todd Landers (Kristian Schmid) when offered help with training, Pete soon acknowledges his behavior and recommits to his athletic goals while also supporting Erinsborough High's sports initiatives.

Malcolm Clarke

Malcolm Clarke, portrayed by Noel Trevarthen, first appeared on 23 November 1987 and departed on 25 November 1988. He is portrayed as an unreliable father figure and solitary individual who resists family commitments. Previously married to Eileen Clarke (Myra De Groot), Malcolm is the father of Des (Paul Keane). He also fathered another child, Sally Wells (Rowena Mohr), whom he abandoned unknowingly due to her mother Kate keeping her existence secret. Sally’s storyline revolves around her search for Malcolm, eventually leading to their family reunion.

Trevarthen described Malcolm as "an ordinary man who prefers solitude" and reluctant to engage with his son and grandson until Sally intervenes. Malcolm reunites with Eileen and they plan to remarry; however, Eileen’s domineering personality causes Malcolm to leave her once more on their wedding day, resulting in Eileen suffering a breakdown.

In the aftermath, Malcolm expresses remorse by gifting Eileen a holiday prize he won on a television quiz show. He later returns accompanied by a new girlfriend, Leanne Sterling (May Lloyd), revealing that he sold his house to finance her lifestyle. Leanne’s flirtations with Des create tension, culminating in her departure after Des exposes her deceitfulness. Following these events, Malcolm leaves Erinsborough to travel around Australia after winning a caravan in a game show arranged by Des.

Tony Romeo

Antonio "Tony" Romeo, played by Nick Carrafa, made his debut on 25 November 1987. Carrafa had previously appeared as a guest in 1985, portraying Danny Ramsay's biological father in a flashback sequence. Tony represented Carrafa's first regular television role and was notable as the show's inaugural continuous male character of ethnic background.

Tony steps in as the new garage manager, taking over from Greg Cooper. Characterized as a "sex-obsessed mechanic," Tony is a determined womaniser who competes with Henry Ramsay for the affections of Sally Wells (Rowena Mohr). Although they initially clash, Tony and Henry eventually develop a friendship.

To escape an arranged marriage, Tony convinces Jane Harris to act as his girlfriend, but complications ensue when his mother, Elinora, arrives. Following a series of ruses and a tea leaf reading that foretells misfortune regarding the arranged marriage, Elinora departs after giving her approval.

Tony invites Sally to share his home, but their cohabitation struggles due to his messy habits. They negotiate with their landlord, Mr. Phillips, for property improvements, resulting in a rent increase balanced by a successful group painting project. Tony continues to court Jane, who remains uncertain because of her feelings for Mike Young. Feeling disheartened, Tony plans to leave Erinsborough but stays briefly upon learning his father has had a stroke, ultimately deciding to join him in Perth.
