Neighbours is a long-running Australian soap opera broadcast on Amazon Prime Video in the UK and US, RTÉ in Ireland, and Network 10 across Australia. The 2025 character introductions were overseen by executive producer Jason Herbison. In January, Clint Hendry (played by Jason Wilder) and Taye Obasi (Lakota Johnson) made their first appearances. February saw the arrival of Fallon Morell (Kate Connick), Ken Obasi (Charles Allen), and Maddy Murphy (Emma Horn). March featured the debuts of Agnes Adair (Anne Charleston) and Thomas Murphy (Charlie Lyon). April introduced Sandra Jago (Natassia Halabi), May brought in Colton Keys (Jakob Ambrose), and June welcomed Yvette Ramsay (Libby Tanner) alongside Saskia Ramsay (Mia Foran).

Clint Hendry

Clint Hendry, portrayed by Jason Wilder, first appeared on 21 January 2025. He was introduced as Jane Harris's online dating partner, with their relationship highlighting a significant age difference that concerned Jane’s son, Byron Stone. Clint was determined to win Jane over, organizing several dates and eventually earning Byron’s approval. He took on cleaning roles at Erinsborough High School and the Eirini Rising retirement home, where he impressed residents such as Vera Punt and Gino Esposito.

Although Jane initially ended their relationship due to complications at work, she later resumed it discreetly. However, complaints about noise disturbances and missing cleaning supplies raised suspicions about Clint’s conduct. After Jasmine Stewart discovered Clint’s affair with Jane at her business, she accused him of theft. This led to parental complaints that resulted in Jane’s suspension for engaging in an inappropriate workplace relationship.

Despite these challenges, Clint remained supportive of Jane and helped mend her friendship with Terese Willis. Jane defended Clint’s character during a meeting with Lana Kline from the Department of Education. Nevertheless, Clint was eventually unmasked as the thief when Jane’s daughter Nicolette Stone found a garage filled with stolen items belonging to him. Clint justified his actions by citing financial needs to care for his ill mother, but Jane rejected his excuses and reported him to law enforcement.

Taye Obasi

Taye Obasi, played by Lakota Johnson, debuted as a regular cast member on 23 January 2025. His casting was announced on 14 October 2024 via the show’s Instagram account, accompanied by a promotional image and a publicist’s hint that Taye would “break some rules (and some hearts) on Ramsay Street.” Taye is introduced as the younger half-brother of Remi Varga-Murphy; they share the same father, Ken Obasi, but have a strained relationship marked by a significant age gap.

The character’s arrival was confirmed in promotional material for 2025, which depicted Taye spending time at the Waterhole alongside nephews JJ and Dex Varga-Murphy. Executive producer Jason Herbison revealed that Johnson initially auditioned for another role before producers created Taye specifically to suit him.

Within the storyline, Taye is first seen hiding in the sunroom at number 32, where he steals food while avoiding detection. He develops a friendship with neighbour Max Ramsay and causes some disruption while JJ and Dex are at school. Taye throws a party that results in Dex drinking alcohol, leading to intervention from Remi and Cara Varga-Murphy when they return home. Despite initial awkwardness, Remi encourages Taye to remain in Erinsborough and rebuild family ties. Additionally, Taye forms a close bond with Fallon Morell, who confides in him regarding her personal family struggles.

Fallon Morell

Fallon Morell, played by Kate Connick, made her first appearance on 3 February 2025 as a guest role. Announced on 28 October 2024, Fallon was introduced as the younger half-sister of the established character Krista Sinclair, having been raised in the United States by her American father. Executive producer Jason Herbison highlighted that Fallon and Krista come from distinctly different backgrounds and possess contrasting personalities. Fallon departed the show on 2 April 2025.

Promotional images revealed Fallon’s arrival in Erinsborough, where she meets Sebastian Metcalfe (portrayed by Rarmian Newton) before visiting Krista’s apartment at Lassiters. Initially, Krista is uneasy about Fallon’s presence but soon accepts her, unaware of any hidden intentions Fallon might have. Fallon secures a job at Yorokobi, the vineyard owned by Krista’s fiancé Leo Tanaka (played by Tim Kano), and develops a rapport with Leo.

According to Digital Spy spoilers, Fallon has a complex history with Sebastian: they were previously engaged until he abruptly ended their relationship after developing feelings for Krista. This left Fallon distressed and uncertain about Krista’s involvement in their breakup.

Fallon observes Sebastian kissing Krista and later moves into Krista’s apartment at her invitation. She encounters Sebastian again at Grease Monkeys, where he confesses that he loved Krista during their time together. Fallon forms a friendship with Taye Obasi (Lakota Johnson) and shares drinks with him at the Waterhole. She also becomes involved in assisting with wedding preparations for Krista and Leo at Yorokobi, working alongside Byron Stone (Xavier Molyneux).

Although Fallon collaborates closely with Krista and Leo, she remains guarded around Krista, suspecting that she is concealing something from Leo. After confiding in Taye, Fallon persuades Krista to disclose the truth about Sebastian to Leo; when Krista hesitates, Fallon reveals it herself under the pretense of already knowing. She grows wary of Leo’s decision to proceed with their wedding plans and becomes uneasy when Taye begins working for Krista at the Piano Bar. Taye notices Fallon’s feelings for Leo, which she denies.

When Taye asks Krista for a loan to book an expensive piano performer and Fallon refuses to contribute, he threatens to expose certain secrets, compelling her reluctant cooperation. Tensions escalate when Krista borrows Fallon’s wedding dress without permission and stains it with wine; during an argument, Fallon discloses to Leo the significance of the dress. After Taye apologizes for his actions, Fallon expresses bitterness toward Krista.

Fallon’s attraction to Leo intensifies, prompting her to devise plans to create complications. She also announces Sebastian’s upcoming return to Erinsborough.

Ken Obasi

Ken Obasi, portrayed by Charles Allen, first appeared on 13 February 2025. Introduced as the father of established characters Remi Varga-Murphy and Taye Obasi, Ken arrives in Erinsborough aiming to mend his relationship with his children. He requests that Taye return home to Apollo Bay; however, Taye declines. It is disclosed that Ken’s past affair with Taye’s mother led to the siblings’ estrangement. While Remi allows Taye to remain in Erinsborough, Ken spends quality time with his grandsons JJ and Dex Varga-Murphy.

Maddy Murphy

Maddy Murphy, portrayed by Emma Horn, made her first appearance on 17 February 2025. She is introduced as the cousin of established figures Cara Varga-Murphy and Chelsea Murphy. Working as a midwife, Maddy enters the storyline amid efforts by Cara’s acquaintance, Nicolette Stone, to find Chelsea, who is missing and suspected to be pregnant. Initially, Maddy denies any knowledge of Chelsea’s location but is later revealed to have assisted Chelsea during childbirth prior to her disappearance.

A romantic relationship develops between Maddy and Nicolette, who uncovers Maddy’s concealment after discovering Chelsea’s perfume in her possession. When Cara confronts Maddy, she admits to helping Chelsea but insists that Chelsea wishes to stay hidden. Despite the strained atmosphere—especially as Cara keeps her search secret from her wife Remi—Maddy continues her clandestine involvement with Nicolette. The situation intensifies when Remi uncovers their relationship, leading to confrontations among all parties involved.

Agnes Adair

Agnes Adair, played by Anne Charleston, was introduced on 17 March 2025. Charleston, famed for portraying Madge Bishop, returned to Neighbours in this new role connected to the exit storyline of Madge's husband, Harold Bishop (Ian Smith). Announced in December 2024, Agnes appeared during the show's 40th Anniversary week. Her storyline focuses on her interest in an Erinsborough exhibit at Lassiters, particularly a piece featuring Madge. Agnes bears a strong resemblance to Madge, which attracts attention from characters such as JJ Varga-Murphy (Riley Bryant). Promotional content highlighted Agnes’s interactions with JJ, Hilary Robinson (Anne Scott-Pendlebury), and Harold, including scenes set at the Eirini Rising complex. She was added to the opening credits alongside Smith and subsequently with other recurring cast members following his departure.

Agnes’s plot involves discovering her familial link to Madge as her second cousin after forming a bond with Harold and delving into their shared ancestry. Initially reluctant to move due to concerns about Harold’s well-being, Agnes eventually decides to settle at Eirini Rising with his blessing. She develops connections with prominent residents such as Karl and Susan Kennedy.

After Harold opts to relocate to Queensland, Agnes remains in Erinsborough but experiences loneliness that leads to friction with Moira Tohu and setbacks including a publisher rejecting her book. Encouragement from Max Ramsay (Ben Jackson) and Susan motivates her to seek new prospects; a publisher from Port Douglas expresses interest in her work. Agnes contemplates moving to Port Douglas and reunites with Harold before his departure.

Her character arc highlights themes of family heritage, personal transformation, and integration within the community amid the show's evolving narrative landscape.

Thomas Murphy

Thomas Matthew Murphy-Robinson, brought to life by Charlie Lyon, debuted on 17 March 2025. Introduced as the infant son of Chelsea Murphy (Viva Bianca), Thomas's paternity was initially uncertain between Chelsea's former fiancé Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) and Jeffrey Swan (Tim Potter), with whom Chelsea had an affair. Early plot details confirmed through a DNA test that Paul was the father; however, later revelations exposed that Jeffrey had manipulated the results, proving himself as Thomas's biological father.

The child was named after Neighbours digital producer Thomas Sage. Actress Bianca described working alongside Lyon as a "really special" experience, noting that scripts differentiated between "Thomas actual" (Lyon) and "Thomas doll" for certain scenes.

Thomas and Chelsea relocate to Ramsay Street to live with his aunt Cara Varga-Murphy (Sara West). Thomas forms a bond with Paul Robinson, generating tension with Paul's partner Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou). Chelsea and Paul organize a naming day celebration for Thomas that showcases their family dynamics. After spending a night at Paul and Terese's residence, Thomas becomes unwell and returns to Chelsea. Subsequently, Paul insists that Thomas avoid contact with Chelsea's new partner Darcy Tyler (Mark Raffety).

Daniel Kilkelly, a reporter, disclosed that Sandra would take on the role of a seductress targeting Andrew, who remains unaware of her true motives. According to Neighbours' public relations team, Andrew feels complimented by Sandra’s admiration for his confidence-building skills, while neighbours Max Ramsay (Ben Jackson) and Holly Hoyland (Lucinda Armstrong Hall) find her attempts at romance awkward.

During class, Sandra pairs up with Max; his girlfriend Holly accuses her of trying to seduce him after Sandra places her hand on Max's leg. Holly responds by demonstrating a defensive move that causes Sandra pain, with Max clarifying he permitted the contact. Sandra continues attending the sessions and flirts with Andrew, who remains oblivious to her intentions. Both Holly and Max caution Andrew about Sandra’s interest. When Sandra invites Andrew out for coffee, he refuses, citing his marital status. Undeterred, she openly flirts in front of his wife Wendy Rodwell (Candice Leask), even asking Andrew for a shoulder massage.

Their initial storyline involves Aaron flirting with Colton while using the alias "Charlie."
