Neighbours is a long-running Australian soap opera that first aired on 18 March 1985. The following compilation highlights characters who were introduced during 1987, all under the direction of executive producer Reg Watson. The series' third season commenced broadcasting on 5 January 1987. Among the significant new arrivals were Harold Bishop in January; Bouncer and Henry Mitchell, son of Madge Mitchell, in February; Gail Lewis along with her adoptive father Rob in March; businessman Mr. Udagawa in April; Hilary Robinson in June; doctor Beverly Marshall, Gino Rossini, and Melanie Pearson in July; the birth of Jamie Clarke, child of Des and Daphne Clarke, also in July; Amanda Harris in August; actor Kenny Larkin, played by Russell Crowe, in September; Sally Wells and Greg Cooper in October; and finally athlete Pete Baxter, Des and Sally's father Malcolm Clarke, alongside mechanic Tony Romeo in November.

Harold Bishop

Harold Bishop, brought to life by actor Ian Smith, made his first appearance on 30 January 1987. After departing the series in September 1991, he returned in October 1996 and remained for over twelve years, becoming one of the show's most enduring characters. Smith announced his exit from the role in August 2008; following a storyline involving cancer, Harold’s final episode aired on 27 February 2009. The character was later revived with Smith reprising the role on 9 May 2011. Harold is depicted as "indecisive, considerate, stuffy and reserved." Ian Smith received several award nominations for his portrayal, including "Funniest Performance" at the Inside Soap Awards in both 2007 and 2008, "Best Actor" in 2008, as well as nominations for "Best Storyline" related to Harold’s cancer plotline in 2009. That same year, he was also shortlisted for the "Most Popular Personality" and "Most Popular Actor" at the Logie Awards.

Bouncer

Bouncer, a golden Labrador retriever, was introduced on-screen on 4 February 1987 and remained until 12 February 1993. Trained by Luke Hura from a canine talent agency, Bouncer was selected when Neighbours required a young Labrador puppy. Hura disclosed that Bouncer's value ranged between $100,000 and $200,000—surpassing many human cast members’ earnings. Fan mail addressed to Bouncer was reportedly the highest among all cast members.

One memorable plot involved Bouncer dreaming about marrying Rosie, a neighboring sheepdog. Actress Anne Charleston, who played Madge Bishop, commented that this storyline made the show resemble a children's program. Sadly, thirteen weeks after filming his final scenes, Bouncer passed away from cancer at seven years old and received more fan tributes globally than any human actor.

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

Henry Ramsay

Henry Ramsay (also known as Mitchell), portrayed by Craig McLachlan, made his debut on 19 February 1987 and exited the series on 23 November 1989. McLachlan earned three Logie Awards for his portrayal and was nominated multiple times for 'Most Popular Personality'. The subsequent year, he secured awards for 'Most Popular Actor' and 'Most Popular Personality'. Following the departure of Peter O'Brien (who played Shane Ramsay), the production team sought a fresh "heartthrob" to maintain interest among female viewers.

At the time of casting, McLachlan was 21 years old with minimal acting background and initially agreed to a six-week contract as Henry Mitchell. Henry was depicted as street-smart, charming, and a ladies' man with a criminal history that caused suspicion among local residents. Despite his rough exterior, he displayed a playful and witty nature, earning the nickname "Punk who turned Hunk." McLachlan described his character as "fun-loving" and "wacky".

When Henry left the show in the UK in 1991, it attracted an audience of 16.6 million viewers.

Gail Robinson

Gail Lewis (previously Robinson), played by Fiona Corke, first appeared on 11 March 1987 and left on 27 June 2007, with several guest appearances in 2005, 2006, and 2007. Corke reflected on her time with the series as "an amazing experience," emphasizing its intensity and scale. In 1988, she was among ten cast members who performed at the Royal Variety Performance before Elizabeth II. Corke departed Neighbours in 1989 to explore other career opportunities but returned in 2005 to celebrate the show's 20th anniversary. In 2009, Stefan Dennis publicly called for her character's return.

The BBC highlighted Gail's most notable storyline as "Running off with the triplets." Television critic Ruth Deller recognized Gail as the "most well-remembered" of Paul's spouses. The Sydney Morning Herald described Gail and Paul's relationship as star-crossed, underscoring its dramatic depth and strong viewer engagement.

Rob Lewis

Robert "Rob" Lewis, enacted by Ernie Bourne, first appeared on 17 March 1987. Portrayed as "a nice ordinary guy" with straightforward tastes but fondness for beer and betting, Rob was also a "mechanical genius" capable of restoring any vehicle. His most memorable scene involved arriving drunk and embarrassing Gail.

Rob opened 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 remained nearby. He formed a partnership with Harold Bishop at the garage; however, their contrasting personalities led to friction, which intensified when Rob attempted to court Madge Ramsay. Rob missed Scott and Charlene's wedding due to excessive drinking but later offered Charlene a four-year apprenticeship at his garage. When Harold accused him of theft, Rob confessed to using the money to settle gambling debts. Subsequently, Harold sold his share of the business to Jim Robinson.

Rob faced difficulties during Gail's search for her biological parents. Jealousy towards her birth father, Ian Chadwick, led Rob to confront him but he later apologized and reaffirmed his role as Gail’s true father.

Rob developed feelings for Gloria Gardner despite opposition from Gail and Gloria’s son. Their engagement encountered resistance but was eventually accepted. After Paul discovered Rob was using stolen parts to reduce expenses, an argument ensued that resulted in Rob crashing his car during a rainstorm. Hospitalized and unconscious, Rob briefly awoke to urge Gloria and Gail to support one another before succumbing to cardiac arrest.

Mr Udagawa

Toshiro Udagawa, widely referred to as Mr. Udagawa and portrayed by Lawrence Mah, made his debut on 23 April 1987. He appeared sporadically over the following five years before making a comeback in 2017.

As a Japanese entrepreneur and proprietor of the Erins Burrow Motel, Mr. Udagawa is a client associated with the Daniels Corporation. He engages in business transactions with Paul Robinson and expresses admiration for the Robinson family's business acumen. Paul attempts to finalize a contract by revealing his engagement to Gail Lewis, which initially sways Mr. Udagawa’s choices. Despite encountering obstacles, Gail successfully persuades him to commit to the corporation.

By 1989, Mr. Udagawa broadened his business interests to include the Pacific Bank. Des Clarke endeavored to learn Japanese to impress him but committed a blunder that briefly jeopardized his employment until Paul stepped in to assist. During a dinner involving Mr. Udagawa and his spouse, misunderstandings arose that created friction among other characters. Mr. Udagawa returned in 1992, where he met Jim Robinson and later entrusted Paul with overseeing hotel operations in Hawaii.

After a quarter-century, Mr. Udagawa reappeared in Erinsborough, reconnecting with Paul at what was once the Erins Burrow Motel but had become a motel complex. He addressed questions regarding the paternity of his son Hiro, clarifying issues related to Leo Tanaka. When hotel manager Terese Willis falsely informed him of a cancer diagnosis, he contemplated pulling out his investment; however, Paul convinced him to maintain his support. Subsequently, he managed the sale of his Lassiter's shares back to Paul.

In 2005, Mr. Udagawa was acknowledged in a BBC survey as one of the "Top 20 Most Obscure Neighbours characters," recognized for his dignified demeanor and significant business dealings within the series.

Hilary Robinson

Hilary Robinson, played by Anne Scott-Pendlebury, first appeared on 25 June 1987. She returned briefly in 1988 before securing a permanent position in 1989, ultimately departing on 28 February 1990. Scott-Pendlebury reprised Hilary for the show's 20th anniversary special in 2005. Hilary was central to story arcs involving Tax evasion, animal rights, and her interference in neighbors’ affairs. The entertainment website Lowculture characterized her as a "busybody" with good intentions. For the 20th anniversary, the BBC placed Hilary fourth among lesser-known characters, describing her as "consistently irritable and sharp-tongued" yet "immensely humorous." Although she did not reside in Erinsborough, Hilary played an essential role in uniting Jim and Beverly. In Neighbours: The Official Annual 1991, John McCready and Nicola Furlong observed that Jessica Muschamp’s Sharon Davies never found peace around Hilary, highlighting Scott-Pendlebury’s strong influence on the series. Inside Soap referred to her as Ramsay Street’s "strictly moral resident."

Beverly Marshall

Beverly Marshall first appeared on screen on 6 July 1987, initially portrayed by Lisa Armytage. From 16 March 1989 until her departure on 5 September 1990, Shaunna O'Grady took over the role. O'Grady returned for the series’ 20th anniversary episode in 2005. Beverly was celebrated as a "popular favorite among viewers," with her relationship with Jim described as "captivating" in John Kercher’s 1989 publication, Neighbours: facts, features, interviews with your favourite TV stars. Ruth Deller referred to Beverly as Ramsay Street’s "superdoc," while Lowculture dubbed her the "resident all-powerful Neighbours doctor," caught between Clive Gibbons and Karl Kennedy. The BBC highlighted one of Beverly’s memorable moments when she slapped a patient during a dramatic scene.

Gino Rossini

Gino Rossini, played by Joey Perrone, made his first appearance on 22 July 1987 and departed on 31 July. Perrone was cast for a short two-week guest stint, marking his acting debut following a career in singing. Gino is an Italian individual who comes to Erinsborough to assist at Daphne Clarke's coffee shop while his father is unwell. Characterized as carefree and charismatic, Gino tries to win over Mike Young's partner Jane Harris during a difficult phase in their relationship. Although Daphne hires him based on his father's recommendation, Gino confesses he lacks cooking skills; consequently, his father resumes the position once recovered. Gino has a brief romantic involvement with Melanie Pearson before leaving.

Jamie Clarke

James Kingsley "Jamie" Clarke was introduced at birth on 30 July 1987. The role was initially portrayed by Sarah Jane Dey, briefly replaced by Ryder Susman in 1989 before Dey returned. Subsequently, brothers Nicholas and James Mason took over the character until 1990. Jamie reappeared in 2003, portrayed by Angus McLaren. His significant story arcs include surviving a car accident that left his mother Daphne comatose and coming back in 2004 to claim his inheritance.

Melanie Pearson

Melanie Pearson (also known as Mangel), enacted by Lucinda Cowden, debuted on 30 July 1987 and exited on 24 October 1991. Cowden initially appeared for seven episodes in 1987 and returned for an additional six episodes the following year. She left to star in The Power, The Passion, but after its cancellation, she reached out to the Neighbours production team to return. In 2005, Cowden reprised the role for the show's 20th anniversary.

A BBC writer noted Melanie's memorable moment as "proposing marriage to Joe". Ian Morrison, author of Neighbours: The Official Annual 1992, observed that Melanie's efforts to assist frequently led to unintended consequences. Katy Moon from Inside Soap commended Joe and Melanie's wedding as a seamless event embodying a more innocent period in soap operas, describing Melanie as "bubbly" and the perfect partner for Joe. A reporter from the Coventry Telegraph referred to Melanie as "a soap favourite" and "the girl next door with a foghorn laugh," attracting thousands of viewers. BBC News' Genevieve Hassan also highlighted Melanie's distinctive laugh among the series' iconic moments.

Amanda Harris

Amanda Harris, portrayed by Briony Behets, first appeared on 13 August 1987. Created to enrich the backstory of Jane Harris (Annie Jones), Amanda reconnects with her daughter after having abandoned her to start anew in Hong Kong. She is described as a "glamorous but ageing socialite" who competes with Jane for attention upon her return.

On 31 March 2025, Daniel Kilkelly of Digital Spy revealed Behets' comeback after nearly 38 years. Amanda returns to Erinsborough to reside at Eirini Rising, a retirement community, with intentions of rebuilding relationships with Jane and her grandchildren. Her return scenes begin airing on 23 April 2025.

Amanda’s visit follows her mother Nell Mangel's (Vivean Gray) heart attack; she offers to manage Nell’s home and mend ties with Jane. Observing Jane’s altered appearance—wearing makeup and no glasses—Amanda manipulates her into resuming a less confident look, causing friction. She clashes with Nell’s neighbour Madge Ramsay (Anne Charleston), and when Madge’s son Henry (Craig McLachlan) shows interest in Amanda, he withdraws upon learning she is Jane’s mother. Amanda further estranges Jane’s friends and slaps Mike Young (Guy Pearce) when confronted about jealousy.

Amanda’s true reason for returning is unveiled: she is evading consequences related to insurance fraud. Nell and Jane request she leave; Amanda returns to Hong Kong. The following year, Amanda declines Jane’s invitation to Nell’s wedding, drawing criticism from her brother Joe Mangel (Mark Little).

Years later, Amanda moves into the Eirene Rising retirement complex where she is welcomed by staff members Karl (Alan Fletcher), Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne), and Darcy Tyler (Mark Raffety). 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 prison companion of Henry Ramsay (Craig McLachlan). This marked Crowe's initial recurring television engagement, spanning four episodes. Although hesitant at first, Crowe agreed to take on the role after filming a pivotal final scene alongside key cast members. Reports indicate he earned more for these episodes than for an entire season at The Melbourne Theatre. Despite rumors in the British press about Crowe returning for the series' 20th anniversary in 2005, these claims were later disproved.

Crowe later downplayed his involvement with the series, mentioning that his filming time amounted to only a few hours. Media sources labeled Kenny with terms such as "small-time crook," "dodgy ex-con," and "bruiser," emphasizing his antagonistic nature. Reflecting on Crowe’s career, The Guardian wittily remarked on the absence of any memorabilia from his stint on Neighbours.

Within the plot, Kenny deceives Henry in a darts match by feigning injury and enlisting his sister, B.B. (Tamasin Ramsay), to play on his behalf, securing a $100 win. He then stirs conflict by falsely accusing Henry and his mother, Madge (Anne Charleston), of shortchanging him during a deal. When Henry threatens Kenny to confess, Kenny retaliates by revealing Henry's criminal history to clients and instigating a brawl at Lassiter’s, which prompts Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) to permanently ban Kenny from the premises.

Sally Wells

Sally Wells, depicted 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 during the show's height in popularity and appreciated the cast’s supportive atmosphere that facilitated her adjustment. Sally was portrayed as determined and headstrong, attracting considerable attention from male characters, notably Henry. The character was eventually written out when producers decided she no longer aligned with forthcoming storylines; Mohr then pursued acting opportunities in the UK and chose not to return to the role. A significant plot point for Sally involved discovering she had an unknown brother, Des.

Greg Cooper

Greg Cooper, portrayed by Alan Fletcher, first appeared on 19 October 1987. Fletcher took the role while actively involved in theatre work, describing it as a temporary engagement during a casting gap. Greg was introduced as a mechanic working at the local garage and served as Charlene Robinson's supervisor. The character was designed to fill the gap between Ernie Bourne's departure and Nick Carrafa's arrival on the show. Fletcher declined an extended contract to concentrate on theatre but returned seven years later to Neighbours as Karl Kennedy, a part he found more fulfilling.

In the storyline, Greg reconnects with Des Clarke and reveals that his brother Colin has passed away. Following erratic conduct, Greg admits responsibility for Colin's death during a boxing match fueled by jealousy over a mutual girlfriend. Although legally exonerated, Greg is burdened by guilt and eventually departs after informing Tony Romeo about a mechanic vacancy at the garage.

Pete Baxter

Pete Baxter, brought to life 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). Characterized as a "carefree practical joker," Pete is athletic, intelligent, and diligent. Briggs holds the distinction of being the first Indigenous actor featured on Neighbours.

Pete takes up employment at Pacific Bank under Des Clarke (Paul Keane). Des recognizes Pete's capability to compete in the 1988 Seoul Olympics and assists him in obtaining leave to attend the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra. When it becomes clear Pete cannot financially support himself during training, the community arranges a scavenger hunt fundraiser. Scott Robinson covers Pete’s journey in reports, with Mike acting as his photographer. Pushing beyond his limits, Pete injures his leg but initially conceals the injury. His chaperone, Rachel Frazer (Pamela Hawksford), steps in to ensure he receives proper medical attention.

After several weeks, Pete abruptly leaves the Institute because of his injury. Upon confessing to Mike, who contacts Rachel, Des helps Pete reclaim his job at the bank. Scott urges him to train for the 1990 Commonwealth Games or a future Olympics, but Pete resists initially. Eventually, he agrees to assist with sports coaching at Erinsborough High and resumes his athletic training.

Malcolm Clarke

Malcolm Clarke, portrayed by Noel Trevarthen, appeared from 23 November 1987 until 25 November 1988. Malcolm is depicted as an unreliable father figure and solitary individual reluctant to embrace family responsibilities. Previously married to Eileen Clarke (Myra De Groot), he is the father of Des (Paul Keane) and Sally Wells (Rowena Mohr). Malcolm had abandoned Eileen and Des, unaware of Sally’s birth since her mother kept the pregnancy a secret. Sally’s search for her father brings him to Erinsborough.

Trevarthen described Malcolm as "an ordinary man who prefers solitude," unwilling to connect with his son and grandson until Sally pressures him. Following a reunion with Eileen, they plan to remarry; however, Malcolm jilts her on their wedding day due to her controlling behavior, which leads to her emotional collapse. Filled with remorse, he later gifts Eileen holiday tickets he won on a quiz show.

Malcolm returns months later accompanied by a new partner, Leanne Sterling (May Lloyd), financing her lifestyle by selling his house and asking Des to pretend ownership. Leanne flirts with Des, creating friction until her deception is uncovered and she departs. Malcolm leaves Erinsborough to travel across Australia after Des wins him a caravan on a game show.

Tony Romeo

Antonio "Tony" Romeo, played by Nick Carrafa, first appeared on 25 November 1987. Carrafa had previously guest-starred in 1985 as the biological father of Danny Ramsay in a flashback scene. Tony marked Carrafa’s first regular television role and was the show’s inaugural ongoing male ethnic character. He arrives as the new manager of the local garage, succeeding Greg Cooper. Tony is characterized as a "sex-obsessed mechanic," womanizer, and headstrong bully—traits that Carrafa personally disliked.

Tony becomes a romantic rival to Henry Ramsay over Sally Wells (Rowena Mohr). Their competition culminates in a physical altercation but eventually they reconcile into friendship. To avoid an arranged marriage, Tony enlists Jane Harris to pose as his girlfriend; complications arise when his mother, Elinora Romeo, visits. After a tea leaf reading predicts misfortune for Tony’s planned marriage, Elinora departs giving her blessing.

Tony invites Sally to live with him, but their arrangement fails due to his messiness and unwillingness to share household chores. They negotiate home improvements with their landlord that come with increased rent and organize a successful painting party attended by friends. Tony pursues Jane romantically; however, she remains uncertain about her feelings for Mike Young. Feeling discouraged by his lack of success, Tony plans to leave Erinsborough but learns his father has suffered a severe stroke and decides instead to join him in Perth.
