Neighbours is a long-running Australian soap opera that first aired on 18 March 1985. This compilation highlights characters who were introduced during 1987, all under the guidance of executive producer Reg Watson. The show's third season premiered on 5 January 1987.

Among the notable arrivals was Harold Bishop, who debuted in January. February saw the introduction of Bouncer and Henry Mitchell, the latter being the son of established character Madge Mitchell. In March, Fiona Corke joined the cast portraying Gail Lewis, accompanied by Ernie Bourne as her adoptive father, Rob. April featured the entrance of businessman Mr. Udagawa, while June welcomed Anne Scott-Pendlebury in the role of Hilary Robinson. July introduced new doctor Beverly Marshall, played by Lisa Armytage, alongside characters Gino Rossini and Melanie Pearson. The same month marked the birth of Jamie Clarke, son to Des and Daphne Clarke. August brought in Briony Behets as Amanda Harris, followed by Russell Crowe's portrayal of Kenny Larkin in September. October introduced siblings Sally Wells and Greg Cooper, while November added athlete Pete Baxter, Des and Sally's father Malcolm Clarke, and mechanic Tony Romeo.

Harold Bishop

Harold Bishop, played by Ian Smith, made his first appearance on 30 January 1987. He departed in September 1991 but returned in October 1996, remaining on the series for over twelve years, establishing himself as one of the show's most enduring characters. Smith announced his exit in August 2008; following a storyline involving cancer, Harold's last episode aired on 27 February 2009. He later reprised this role in May 2011. Harold’s personality is described as "indecisive, considerate, stuffy and reserved."

For his portrayal, Smith received several nominations including "Funniest Performance" at the Inside Soap Awards in both 2007 and 2008, "Best Actor" in 2008, and recognition for "Best Storyline" related to Harold’s cancer narrative in 2009. That same year, he was also nominated for the "Most Popular Personality" and "Most Popular Actor" at the Logie Awards.

Bouncer

Bouncer made his first appearance on 4 February 1987 and remained on the show until 12 February 1993, spanning six years. Trained by Luke Hura, who supplied the golden Labrador puppy through his canine talent agency, Bouncer was valued between $100,000 and $200,000—earning a higher income than many of his human co-stars. Among the cast, his fan cards were the most sought-after.

A memorable plotline involved Bouncer dreaming of marrying Rosie, a neighboring sheepdog, which elicited varied reactions from both the cast and viewers. Thirteen weeks after filming his final scenes, Bouncer passed away from cancer at seven years old. Following his death, he received more tributes from fans globally than any human member of the cast.

Lorna Cooper, editor at MSN TV, singled out Bouncer’s dream wedding sequence as one of the series' strangest moments. This storyline was later ranked as the second most unusual in Neighbours history.

Henry Ramsay

Henry Ramsay (also known as Mitchell), portrayed by Craig McLachlan, debuted on 19 February 1987 and exited on 23 November 1989. McLachlan earned three Logie Awards for his portrayal, including titles 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 attractive male lead to retain female viewers. Despite McLachlan’s limited acting background, he was cast in this role. Initially contracted for just six weeks, Henry was introduced as a character "living under a cloud of suspicion" due to a criminal past but was also depicted as street-smart, charming, and mischievous—earning the nickname "Punk who turned Hunk."

McLachlan described Henry as "wacky" and fun-loving, combining toughness with humor. When Henry departed in 1991, his farewell episode attracted an audience of 16.6 million viewers in the UK, demonstrating his widespread appeal and influence on the series.

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 referred to her time on the show as "an amazing experience," highlighting its intensity and scale. In 1988, she was among ten cast members invited to London to perform at the Royal Variety Performance before the Queen. Corke departed Neighbours in 1989 to explore other career opportunities.

She returned in 2005 for the series’ twentieth anniversary episode alongside other former actors. In December 2009, Stefan Dennis publicly called for her comeback. The BBC identified Gail's most memorable storyline as "Running off with the triplets." Television critic Ruth Deller of Lowculture named Gail as the "most well-remembered" among Paul's spouses. The Sydney Morning Herald described Gail and Paul's relationship as star-crossed lovers, underlining its dramatic effect on audiences and its importance within the show's narrative.

Rob Lewis

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

Rob owned a garage in Erinsborough and lived at Number 22 Ramsay Street with his adopted daughter, Gail. After Gail married Paul Robinson, Rob relocated but stayed nearby. He formed a partnership with Harold Bishop at the garage; however, their contrasting personalities often led to disputes, which intensified when Rob showed interest in Madge Ramsay. Rob missed Scott and Charlene’s wedding due to drinking but later offered Charlene a four-year apprenticeship at his garage.

Problems arose when Rob admitted to Harold that he had stolen funds from their business to cover gambling debts related to racehorses. Following this breach of trust, Harold sold his share of the garage to Jim Robinson.

When Gail searched for her biological parents, Rob became jealous upon learning about her father, Ian Chadwick. His confrontations caused friction until he apologized and accepted Ian’s involvement in Gail’s life.

Rob eventually fell in love with Gloria Gardner, despite opposition from both Gail and Gloria's son Dean. Their engagement symbolized the union of their families. However, after Paul discovered Rob had been using stolen car parts to reduce expenses, an intense argument ensued that culminated in Rob crashing his vehicle during a storm. He was hospitalized in a coma but briefly regained consciousness before dying from cardiac arrest.

Mr Udagawa

Toshiro Udagawa, commonly referred to as Mr. Udagawa and portrayed by Lawrence Mah, made his first appearance on 23 April 1987. He appeared sporadically over a five-year span before making a comeback in 2017.

As a Japanese entrepreneur, Mr. Udagawa owns the Erins Burrow Motel and maintains business dealings primarily with Paul Robinson through the Daniels Corporation. Initially drawn by Rosemary Daniels' family connections, he begins negotiations with Paul but becomes cautious after discovering personal issues. It is Gail Lewis who eventually convinces him to finalize an agreement with the corporation.

In 1989, Mr. Udagawa broadens his commercial relationships by partnering with the Pacific Bank. An incident involving Des Clarke, rooted in cultural differences, underscores his significance within the local business community. His attendance at social events frequently overlaps with major characters, further establishing his presence in Erinsborough’s economic scene.

By 1992, he delegates management of Hawaiian hotels to Paul Robinson, signaling ventures beyond the domestic market.

After a quarter-century absence, Mr. Udagawa returns to supervise his former motel property, now renamed Robinsons. He addresses rumors concerning the parentage of his son Hiro and Leo Tanaka while assessing investment opportunities amid managerial difficulties at the hotel. Despite concerns about Terese Willis’s fabricated cancer diagnosis, Paul Robinson persuades him to maintain his financial stake. Subsequently, he oversees the transfer of his Lassiter’s shares back to Paul.

In 2005, a BBC poll acknowledged Mr. Udagawa as one of the most underappreciated yet influential characters, emphasizing his dignified demeanor and sharp business skills within the Neighbours storyline.

Hilary Robinson

Hilary Robinson, played by Anne Scott-Pendlebury, first appeared on 25 June 1987. After guest roles 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 was central to storylines involving Tax evasion, animal rights, and interference in neighbors’ personal matters. The entertainment website Lowculture characterized her as a meddlesome yet well-meaning figure. For the 20th anniversary, the BBC ranked her fourth among favorite lesser-known characters, describing her as "constantly irritable and sharp-tongued" but also "greatly amusing." Although not residing in Erinsborough, she played a pivotal role in major plots, including reuniting Jim and Beverly. Neighbours: The Official Annual 1991 acknowledged her significant contribution to the series, while Inside Soap labeled her Ramsay Street’s "uptight resident."

Beverly Marshall

Beverly Marshall debuted on 6 July 1987, initially portrayed by Lisa Armytage and later by Shaunna O'Grady from March 1989 until September 1990. O'Grady returned for the show’s 20th anniversary episode in 2005. Beverly was regarded as a "favorite among viewers," with her relationship with Jim described as "captivating" in John Kercher’s 1989 book about the series. Known as Ramsay Street’s "leading medical professional," Beverly earned recognition as a strong and respected doctor who notably came between Clive Gibbons and Karl Kennedy. The BBC highlighted one of her standout moments when she slapped a patient.

Gino Rossini

Gino Rossini, played by Joey Perrone, made his first appearance on 22 July 1987 and departed on 31 July the same year. Perrone was cast for a two-week guest stint, marking his initial acting role following a career in singing. Gino, an Italian national, arrives in Erinsborough to assist at Daphne Clarke's (Elaine Smith) café, stepping in for his ailing father. Characterized as carefree and charismatic, Gino attempts to charm Mike Young's (Guy Pearce) girlfriend Jane Harris (Annie Jones). Although Daphne hires him based on his father's recommendation, it becomes clear that Gino lacks cooking skills, resulting in his father reclaiming the position once recovered. Before leaving, Gino briefly dates Melanie Pearson (Lucinda Cowden).

Jamie Clarke

James Kingsley "Jamie" Clarke entered the storyline on 30 July 1987 as a newborn. Initially portrayed by Sarah Jane Dey, Ryder Susman temporarily assumed the role in 1989 before Dey's return. Due to concerns over hair length, Dey exited the role, which was then played by siblings Nicholas and James Mason until 1990. In 2003, Angus McLaren took over as Jamie upon his character's reappearance. Noteworthy plot points include surviving a car accident that left his mother Daphne comatose and later returning 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 departed on 24 October 1991. Cowden originally joined for seven episodes in 1987 and returned for an additional six episodes in 1988. She left to star in The Power, The Passion, but following its cancellation, she reached out to the Neighbours production team to make a comeback. In 2005, Cowden reprised her role as Melanie for the show's twentieth anniversary.

One of Melanie’s significant storylines involved her proposing to Joe Mangel, an event highlighted by the BBC's Neighbours website. Ian Morrison, author of Neighbours: The Official Annual 1992, observed that Melanie’s eagerness to help often led to unintended complications. Katy Moon from Inside Soap commended Joe and Melanie's wedding as a notably smooth soap opera ceremony, describing Melanie as "bubbly" and an ideal partner for Joe. A journalist from the Coventry Telegraph referred to Melanie as a "soap favourite," portraying her as the "girl next door with a foghorn laugh" and a "lovably ditzy secretary" who captivated thousands of viewers. Genevieve Hassan of BBC News also acknowledged Melanie’s distinctive laugh among the show's most memorable features.

Amanda Harris

Amanda Harris, enacted by Briony Behets, first appeared on screen on 13 August 1987. Introduced to delve into Jane Harris's history, Amanda reconnects with her daughter after having abandoned her to start anew in Hong Kong. Portrayed as a "glamorous yet aging socialite," Amanda vies for attention against Jane. On 31 March 2025, it was announced that Behets would reprise the role after nearly four decades, with Amanda returning to reside at the Eirini Rising retirement community and reestablish ties with her family. Her comeback is scheduled to air from 23 April 2025.

Amanda returns to Erinsborough following her mother Nell Mangel's heart attack and offers to look after her home. She attempts to rebuild her relationship with Jane but manipulates her into adopting an older appearance, undermining Jane’s self-esteem. Amanda comes into conflict with Nell's neighbour Madge Ramsay and alienates Jane’s friends. When Mike Young confronts her about jealousy, Amanda responds by slapping him. It later emerges she returned seeking refuge after committing insurance fraud; consequently, Nell and Jane ask her to leave, prompting Amanda’s return to Hong Kong. The following year, Amanda declines Jane’s invitation to Nell’s wedding, drawing criticism from her brother Joe Mangel.

Years later, Amanda moves into the Eirini Rising retirement complex where she is welcomed by staff including Karl Kennedy, Susan Kennedy, and Darcy Tyler. Susan recognizes Amanda as Jane’s mother but agrees to keep her presence confidential.

Kenny Larkin

Kenny Larkin, brought to life by Russell Crowe, made his first appearance on 21 September 1987 as a former inmate who shared a cell with Henry Ramsay (Craig McLachlan). This marked Crowe's initial recurring television role, appearing across four episodes. Although initially hesitant, Crowe accepted the part after reviewing a pivotal fight scene featuring key cast members. He later revealed that his compensation for these episodes surpassed his entire earnings from a season of Melbourne Theatre. Despite rumors in the British press about a possible return for the show's 20th anniversary in 2005, Crowe's representatives dismissed these claims.

Crowe described his role as brief and expressed frustration over being continually linked to the series. Media descriptions of Kenny have included terms such as "small-time crook," "dodgy ex-con," and "bruiser," underscoring the character’s dubious nature. Critics have also pointed out that Crowe possesses no memorabilia from his time on Neighbours, which they consider a missed opportunity to celebrate cultural history.

Within the plot, Kenny cheats Henry during a darts game by pretending to be injured and having his sister, B.B. (Tamasin Ramsay), throw darts on his behalf. After doubling the wager, B.B. lands a bullseye, leaving Henry $100 short. Later, Kenny memorizes the serial numbers on a $50 note Henry uses to buy drinks and falsely accuses Henry's mother, Madge (Anne Charleston), of shortchanging him. This accusation creates conflict involving Henry and his employer, Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis). When Henry confronts Kenny with threats, Kenny confesses to the deceit. Following this, Kenny attempts to damage Henry's reputation by disclosing his criminal record to customers. Their dispute culminates in a confrontation at Lassiter's, where 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 as a romantic interest for Henry Ramsay. Mohr was cast while the show was enjoying high viewership and credited the welcoming cast for helping her adjust quickly. Sally is depicted as a determined woman with an eye-catching look that draws male attention, particularly from Henry. The character was eventually removed from the storyline because producers felt she did not align well with future plot directions; Mohr departed to pursue work in the UK and declined to return for any reprises. A significant storyline for Sally involved discovering she had a brother named Des.

Greg Cooper

Greg Cooper, enacted by Alan Fletcher, first appeared on 19 October 1987. Fletcher took on this role while actively involved in theatre, considering it a short-term "fill-in" following Ernie Bourne’s exit from the show. Greg worked as Charlene Robinson’s supervisor at the local garage. Fletcher opted not to extend his contract to continue focusing on theatre but returned seven years later to play Karl Kennedy, a role he found more rewarding.

In terms of narrative, Greg reconnects with Des Clarke and reveals that his brother Colin has passed away. He confesses responsibility for Colin’s death after a boxing match fueled by personal rivalry, though he was legally exonerated. Burdened by guilt, Greg decides to leave town after informing Tony Romeo about an available mechanic position at the garage.

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), Pete also reconnects with old friends Scott Robinson (Jason Donovan) and Charlene Mitchell (Kylie Minogue). Described as a "happy-go-lucky practical joker," Pete reflects many qualities of Briggs himself, being athletic, intelligent, and diligent. Notably, Briggs was the first Indigenous actor featured on Neighbours.

Pete is employed at Pacific Bank alongside Des Clarke (Paul Keane). His athletic promise, particularly his potential to compete in the 1988 Seoul Olympics, earns him community backing through a fundraising initiative aimed at supporting his training at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra. Des assists by securing leave for Pete, while Scott Robinson covers his journey as a reporter and Mike acts as his photographer. Pete sustains a running injury which he initially conceals; however, after intervention from chaperone Rachel Frazer (Pamela Hawksford), he consents to receive medical care.

Several weeks later, Pete departs the Institute, confessing to Mike that he left due to his injury. With Des's assistance, he returns to his banking position. Scott motivates him to set sights on the Commonwealth Games or the upcoming Olympics, but Pete resists these ambitions and even snaps at Todd Landers (Kristian Schmid) when asked to help with sports coaching at Erinsborough High. Eventually, Pete admits his error, resumes his training regimen, and begins contributing to the school's athletic program.

Malcolm Clarke

Malcolm Clarke, portrayed by Noel Trevarthen, debuted on 23 November 1987 and exited on 25 November 1988. He was depicted as an unreliable father figure and solitary individual who found family life challenging. Previously married to Eileen Clarke (Myra De Groot), Malcolm was father to a son, Des (Paul Keane). Additionally, he had a daughter named Sally Wells (Rowena Mohr), whom he had abandoned without knowledge due to her mother Kate keeping her existence secret. Sally's storyline involved her discreet search for Malcolm, ultimately leading to a family reunion.

Trevarthen characterized Malcolm as "a carpenter" and "a very ordinary bloke who wants to be alone," showing reluctance to engage with his son and grandson until prompted by his daughter. After reconciling with Eileen, plans were made for remarriage; however, Eileen's domineering behavior caused Malcolm to leave her again on their wedding day. This abandonment led to Eileen suffering a breakdown, after which Malcolm attempted to make amends by offering her holiday tickets he had won on a quiz show.

Malcolm returned later accompanied by a new partner, Leanne Sterling (May Lloyd), having sold his house to fund her lavish lifestyle. He requested Des to pose as the homeowner in Malcolm’s absence. Leanne flirted with Des but fled after her deception was uncovered. Following these events, Malcolm left to travel around Australia after Des won him a caravan on a game show.

Tony Romeo

Antonio "Tony" Romeo, played by Nick Carrafa, made his first appearance on 25 November 1987. Although Carrafa had previously appeared in a guest role in 1985, Tony marked his initial regular television part and was the program's inaugural ongoing male character of ethnic background. Tony is introduced as the new supervisor of the local garage, taking over from Greg Cooper (Alan Fletcher). Known as a "sex-crazed mechanic," Tony is portrayed as a determined womanizer and competes with Henry Ramsay (Craig McLachlan) for the affections of Sally Wells (Rowena Mohr).

Tony arrives in Erinsborough looking for employment at Jim Robinson's (Alan Dale) garage. Early on, he offends Jim’s daughter-in-law Charlene (Kylie Minogue) by flirting with her and pursues Sally, who is Henry’s girlfriend, leading to a confrontation where Tony uses karate to overpower Henry. Despite this initial rivalry, they eventually develop a strong friendship.

In an attempt to avoid an arranged marriage planned by his mother Elinora (Kate Jason), Tony concocts a fake relationship with Jane Harris (Annie Jones) by using a doctored photograph. When Elinora visits, Tony continues the deception but ultimately the truth comes out. After a tea leaf reading by Nell Mangel (Vivean Gray) predicts misfortune if Tony marries Angela, Elinora leaves, granting her approval.

Tony invites Sally to live with him, but their differing lifestyles create friction. They negotiate home repairs with landlord Mr. Phillips (Earl Francis), agreeing to a rent increase. Despite his efforts to win Jane’s affection—who is torn between him and Mike Young (Guy Pearce)—Tony becomes disheartened and plans to leave Erinsborough. Before departing, he discovers his father has suffered a severe stroke and chooses to join him in Perth.
