Neighbours is an Australian soap opera that premiered on 18 March 1985 and currently broadcasts on the digital channel 10 Peach. The following section highlights characters introduced during 2020 under the guidance of executive producer Jason Herbison. In January, Lisa Rowsthorn and Zenin Alexio made their first appearances. The month of June saw the arrival of Owen Campbell, Emmett Donaldson, Levi Canning, and Louis Curtain. July introduced Brent Colefax and Nicolette Stone, while August welcomed Rose Walker. Later in the year, Nathan Packard and Jay Rebecchi were added to the cast.

Lisa Rowsthorn

Lisa Rowsthorn, portrayed by Jane Allsop, made her debut on 20 January 2020. She is the mother of Hendrix Greyson (Ben Turland) and arrives in Erinsborough to address Hendrix's defiant actions, which include stealing a nude photograph of his stepmother, Chloe Brennan (April Rose Pengilly). Lisa's personality is described as "unexpectedly reasonable," in stark contrast to Hendrix’s father, Pierce Greyson (Tim Robards), who perceives her as domineering. Her arrival creates tension in Pierce and Chloe's marriage when she requests that Pierce father another child with her. In March 2022, Allsop and Robards reprised their roles for a storyline filmed in Sydney.

Lisa comes to Erinsborough after Chloe reaches out about Hendrix’s misconduct. Upon arrival, Lisa discovers Hendrix has been residing with the Kennedy family rather than Pierce but accepts this arrangement. She uncovers that Hendrix harbors feelings for Chloe, explaining his secretive behavior. Lisa offers Hendrix the option to return home; however, he opts to remain and mend his relationships. She confides in Pierce that she asked him to conceive another child through IVF for financial motivations, granting him access to their children while encouraging him to focus on his own life. This disclosure causes strain between Hendrix and both parents. Lisa admits to Chloe that she believed her actions were justified and inquires about Chloe and Pierce’s plans for their family, complicated by Chloe’s Huntington’s disease diagnosis.

Although Hendrix moves back with Chloe and Pierce, his relationship with Lisa remains fraught. Lisa expresses her wish to have another child with Pierce and shows willingness to co-parent alongside Chloe. Initially, Chloe agrees but later withdraws from the plan. Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson) and his husband David Tanaka (Takaya Honda) approach Lisa about co-parenting a child; however, David’s father Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) opposes the idea. Subsequently, Lisa learns she is pregnant by a former partner, James, which ends the co-parenting arrangement. She informs all involved parties before departing for Sydney to share the news with James. Before leaving, Lisa tells Hendrix she is proud of him and intends to maintain contact. Several months later, Lisa notifies Pierce of the birth of her daughter, Maeve Rowsthorn (Beatrix Van Vliet).

Two years onward, Hendrix travels to Sydney with his girlfriend Mackenzie Hargreaves (Georgie Stone) and reveals he has been diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis requiring a lung transplant. Lisa attends their wedding and supports Hendrix prior to his surgery. Although initially successful, Hendrix’s body rejects the new lung; Lisa joins Pierce and Mackenzie in bidding farewell before his passing. She publicly confronts Sadie Rodwell (Emerald Chan), who was responsible for the fire that caused Hendrix’s illness, and delivers a eulogy at his funeral held a week later.

Zenin Alexio

Zenin Alexio, brought to life by Axle Whitehead, made his first appearance on 24 January 2020. Whitehead joined the cast for a short storyline portraying a "suspicious character" linked to an underground fighting ring involving Ned Willis (Ben Hall). Zenin perceives Ned and Yashvi Rebecchi (Olivia Junkeer) as threats to his illicit activities and employs intimidation tactics to silence them. Whitehead characterized Zenin as a menacing villain who thrives on instilling fear and holds little regard for human life.

The narrative arc of Zenin revolves around his efforts to dominate Ned and Yashvi, which includes tampering with Yashvi’s vehicle and menacing their legal representative, Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney). Additionally, he engages with Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan) in an illegal transaction involving a 3D printed firearm. Zenin eventually takes Ned hostage in his warehouse, but Yashvi, collaborating with a police task force, alerts law enforcement, resulting in Zenin’s capture. Whitehead commended the role for its action-packed nature and expressed openness to reprising the character if invited back.

Gavin Bowman

Gavin Bowman, portrayed by Cameron MacDonald, debuted on 31 March 2020 and made a return on 6 May 2024. Gavin serves as a doctor and psychiatrist at Erinsborough Hospital, tasked with treating Haz Devkar following an accident. He is introduced as a "new antagonist" within a storyline involving Remi Varga-Murphy and her spouse Cara Varga-Murphy. At a celebration marking Remi’s promotion to Senior Medical Officer, Gavin makes inappropriate comments about both Remi and Cara, prompting Karl Kennedy to report him to human resources.

Gavin initially oversees Finn Kelly’s treatment after David Tanaka sustains injuries. After Finn’s death, Gavin interrogates David about his knowledge of Finn’s mental health condition. He later assesses Harlow Robinson, criticizing David for failing to recognize withdrawal symptoms sooner. Gavin holds David accountable for not intervening earlier, attributing some responsibility for Finn’s passing to him.

Following Haz being struck by a vehicle, Gavin manages his treatment and monitors his progress. He questions Remi about her application for the Senior Medical Officer position and probes into her relationship with Cara. After making sexually charged remarks at Karl’s farewell party, Karl files a complaint against him with HR. Gavin attends to Dex Varga-Murphy after a poisoning incident but is prohibited from continuing care once Remi and Cara uncover his misconduct.

Gavin formulates a hypothesis regarding Dex’s poisoning and successfully treats him. He consents to participate in a podcast interview discussing the poisonings, which raises suspicions for Holly Hoyland. Holly investigates Gavin’s background and catches him administering poison into food at a community gathering. Gavin then takes Holly hostage, forcing her into his apartment where he destroys her phone and attempts to coerce her into silence by threatening her with a syringe.

While held captive, Gavin discloses his motive: deliberately poisoning victims so he can subsequently cure them and gain recognition, thereby securing his employment despite previous allegations of sexual harassment. Holly exposes this scheme, prompting Gavin to confine her in the bathroom before preparing to escape the country. Holly refuses the drugged water he offers, leading Gavin to blame her for undermining his life.

Concerned over Holly’s disappearance, Karl investigates alongside police officer Andrew Rodwell and neighbor Remi. They locate Gavin’s apartment; during the ensuing confrontation, Holly frees herself from restraints and calls for assistance. Following a struggle, Gavin is subdued; the syringe he wielded is found empty, indicating he had been poisoned himself.

At the hospital, Gavin remains stable under police supervision. Evidence confirms his plan was to incapacitate Holly and flee. He faces multiple charges including kidnapping, unlawful possession of controlled substances, and poisoning.

A year later, after serving time in prison, Gavin goes on an online date using an alias with Jane Harris. Jane grows suspicious of the encounter; Terese informs her about Gavin’s criminal history involving poisoning and kidnapping. Jane confronts Gavin firmly, warning him to avoid contact with her and others associated with Ramsay Street. Andrew informs the community that due to an administrative oversight, some victims were not notified prior to Gavin’s parole approval despite concerns regarding his rehabilitation progress.

Owen Campbell

Owen Campbell, brought to life by Johnny Ruffo, made his first appearance on 8 June 2020. Announced on 28 May 2020, Ruffo completed filming a guest arc spanning six episodes in March. He characterized the production pace as "very fast moving" and commended the professionalism found in both Neighbours and Home and Away. Owen’s character is employed as a prison officer.

During his shift at Goodwood Women's Prison, Owen identifies Dee Bliss (Madeleine West) as connected to Andrea Somers and Heather Schilling. He forms a rapport with Dee through shared moments over coffee and gardening activities. Nevertheless, Owen becomes entangled in a scheme with Andrea, who uses seduction to manipulate him. He orchestrates for Dee and Heather to participate in a visitor gardening program. On the day Dee is scheduled to visit, Owen instigates a lockdown by planting a shiv, administers drugs to Dee, and aids Andrea’s escape by swapping clothes with her. Andrea then hides with her son Hugo Somers in an apartment secured by Owen. When Andrea ceases to return his affections, Owen takes the money she asked him to conceal and tips off Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) about their whereabouts.

Emmett Donaldson

Emmett Donaldson, portrayed by Ezra Justin, first appeared on 10 June 2020. His introduction was part of a narrative centered around adoption and fostering, with Emmett taken in by David Tanaka (Takaya Honda) and Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson). His initial episodes were directed by Deborra-lee Furness, founder of Adopt Change. Justin reprised his role in 2021 when Emmett returns accompanied by his brother Brent Colefax (Texas Watterston).

Following the breakdown of a foster placement due to behavioral problems, Emmett is temporarily placed with David and Aaron. Paul Robinson gifts him a cricket bat; during this time, Emmett meets other young characters including Harlow Robinson and Hendrix Greyson. Despite early difficulties adapting to school and making friends—such as conflicts with classmate Louis Curtain—Emmett gradually settles in. He encounters academic challenges but benefits from tutoring assistance.

Brent visits Emmett but stirs up trouble; David and Aaron contemplate fostering Brent as well. After falling from a roof, Emmett suffers a neck fracture leading to temporary paralysis but recovers under medical supervision. Their mother, Jenna Donaldson, appears sporadically—sometimes sober and other times struggling—which affects Emmett’s stability. Following Jenna’s dismissal from Lassiter's Hotel and her attempts to turn Emmett against his foster carers, he eventually moves in with his aunt Linda Donaldson.

In 2021, Emmett returns expressing a desire to leave Linda’s care. With social worker approval, David and Aaron agree to foster him again. After Brent runs away, Paul encourages Jenna to resume full-time care of Emmett. Ultimately, Emmett decides to relocate to New Zealand with his mother, bidding farewell to key figures including Paul, Terese Willis, Chloe Brennan, Nicolette Stone, Harlow Robinson, David Tanaka, and Aaron Brennan.

Levi Canning

Levi Canning, played by Richie Morris, was introduced on 15 June 2020. Morris moved from Sydney to Melbourne for filming this role, marking his television debut. Levi belongs to the well-established Canning family as Sheila Canning’s grandson and cousin to Kyle Canning. Morris expressed enthusiasm about joining this iconic family unit that balances drama with humor. Levi is revealed as the son of Frank Canning Jr., raised alongside his wife Jackie. Professionally, Levi works as a police constable; Morris noted that wearing the uniform helped him fully inhabit the character. Described as passionate yet cheeky and serious about his duties, Levi carries numerous secrets. In August 2021, the introduction of Levi’s mother Evelyn Farlow expanded his backstory further.

Louis Curtain

Louis Curtain, portrayed by Declan Dennis, made his debut on 26 June 2020. Although Dennis is the son of Stefan Dennis (who plays Paul Robinson), their characters do not share any scenes together. Louis was cast independently and is depicted as an antagonist. Dennis mentioned that his father assisted him in shaping the character beyond just portraying a typical "villain." Following his initial guest stint, Dennis reprised the role with short appearances in both 2021 and 2022.

Louis initially dismisses Emmett Donaldson’s attempt at friendship but later draws him into troublesome antics at Erinsborough High School. He uses a drone to spy on Roxy Willis, which results in property damage and inadvertently injures Sheila Canning; Louis then leaves Emmett to face the consequences alone. This event causes Emmett to be prohibited from associating with Louis. At school, Louis taunts Hendrix Greyson over his misfortunes and tries to win Zara Selwyn’s attention through disruptive acts at Harold's Café. Additionally, he takes part in a student prank targeting their teacher Jane Harris.

Brent Colefax

Brent Colefax, played by Texas Watterston, first appeared on 13 July 2020. Originally signed for an eight-episode arc, Watterston ended up filming about 50 episodes after the producers extended his role. Matt Wilson (Aaron Brennan) commended both Watterston and Justin Ezra (Emmett Donaldson) as "excellent actors" and expressed hope that they would become permanent cast members. In October 2021, Watterston shared that he enjoyed the flexibility of his guest role, which allowed him to pursue other projects, though he remained open to a full-time position depending on the writers’ plans. He described Brent’s evolution from a troubled teenager to an army recruit, noting how the character matured while maintaining a mischievous streak.

Brent’s storyline features a rivalry with Hendrix Greyson over Harlow Robinson that eventually turns into a romantic involvement. Jemma Donovan (Harlow) collaborated closely with the writers to ensure their romance was portrayed realistically, reflecting Brent’s aspiration for personal growth. Brent exited the show in May 2021 but made a brief return in October when his relationship with Harlow deteriorated due to changes in her behavior.

As Emmett Donaldson’s older half-brother, Brent arrives in Erinsborough aiming for custody of Emmett. He clashes with foster carers David Tanaka and Aaron Brennan regarding their suitability. After encouraging Emmett to sneak out, an accident causes Emmett to suffer a spinal injury, escalating tensions and leading to Brent resuming care responsibilities. Brent’s confrontational nature culminates in a physical altercation with Aaron, and following a visit from his mother Jenna Donaldson, Brent leaves the care home.

Brent later reappears homeless and is taken in by David and Aaron. He recommences Year 12 studies while reigniting his feud with Hendrix and pursuing Harlow romantically. Conflicts intensify due to leaked school records and classroom disputes; however, initiatives such as Year 13 independent study are introduced to ease tensions. Brent’s growing affection for Harlow results in a kiss and sharing of personal documents to foster trust. Their relationship faces opposition from Paul Robinson, who disapproves of Brent.

Amid threatening messages and vandalism linked to Holden Brice, Brent offers support to Emmett during custody disputes involving their aunt Linda Donaldson and Nicolette Stone’s criminal background. Brent confronts Paul about his relationship with Harlow and becomes entangled in legal troubles after associating with Holden. Advised by lawyer Toadie Rebecchi to avoid prison by enlisting in the Australian Defence Force, Brent accepts and is stationed in New South Wales, maintaining a long-distance relationship with Harlow.

Brent later returns briefly to Erinsborough, uncovering Paul’s involvement in false testimony against him. Feeling betrayed by Harlow’s support for Paul, Brent ends their relationship and departs for New Zealand to live with his family.

Nicolette Stone

Nicolette Stone, brought to life by Charlotte Chimes, made her first appearance on 15 July 2020. The announcement of both her casting and character came on 27 June 2020. Nicolette is introduced as the long-absent daughter of Jane Harris (Annie Jones), coinciding with Jane’s permanent return to the show. The storyline reveals a strained bond between Nicolette and Jane following Nicolette’s revelation of her lesbian identity. Jones highlighted that through Nicolette, viewers would gain deeper insight into Jane’s family dynamics.

Starting from 22 July 2021, Nicolette was removed from the opening credits during a plot where she fled from Erinsborough, with no immediate explanation regarding her status. She later appeared in scenes set in Canberra on 9 and 10 August, before making a return to Erinsborough on 20 September and being reinstated in the opening sequence later that week. Nicolette’s last appearance occurred in the final episode of Neighbours on 28 July 2022.

Rose Walker

Rose Walker, played by Lucy Durack, debuted on screen on 27 August 2020. Her casting was revealed on 18 June 2020, with Durack commencing filming that same week. She described the production environment of Neighbours as efficient and fast-paced, appreciating the opportunity to work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Rose enters the storyline as a personal assistant to Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) at his legal practice. She is portrayed as a mother to two teenagers and recently separated from her spouse James Solomon (Bert La Bonté). Durack noted a noticeable chemistry between Rose and Toadie, which sparked playful interactions within the office. Rose’s initial story arc wrapped up on 30 September 2020, with Durack returning in August 2021 to explore a romantic triangle involving Toadie and his partner Melanie Pearson (Lucinda Cowden). In this return, Rose serves as PR manager for the Shorts and Briefs Film Festival, driven by her feelings towards Toadie.

Rose applies for an assistant position at Toadie’s temporary law office located in Lassiter's Hotel. They connect over their mutual support for the Essendon Bombers. Despite some early difficulties adapting to legal software and IT tasks—explained by Rose’s time away from work raising children—she secures a trial period. A prank rivalry develops between Rose and Toadie, underscoring their mutual attraction. However, when Rose attempts to access confidential documents related to her estranged husband’s business, she becomes vulnerable to blackmail by Hendrix Greyson (Benny Turland), which results in her dismissal by Toadie due to breaches of professional ethics. Rose reveals that James is concealing assets to evade divorce financial obligations.

After her accounts are frozen leaving her financially strained, Rose breaks down emotionally in front of Toadie and Mackenzie Hargreaves. With assistance from Lassiter's manager Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou), she secures employment at the day spa but faces retraining following initial challenges. Her divorce settlement provides minimal financial relief; under Toadie’s guidance, she renegotiates for improved terms. A mutual romantic interest develops between Rose and Toadie, culminating in a date. When James confronts them with legal threats, tensions rise until reconciliation efforts led by Toadie encourage Rose to consider reuniting with James for their children before departing.

Returning as PR manager for the Shorts and Briefs Film Festival, Rose reunites with Toadie and discovers his relationship with Melanie Pearson. Despite professional friction—exacerbated by incidents such as damage to Rose’s vehicle attributed to Melanie—she remains focused on the festival and her pursuit of Toadie. Conflicts escalate when Melanie is hospitalized following a prank gone awry. Rose apologizes and enlists Toadie’s help addressing festival insurance concerns, leading to a kiss that exposes unresolved feelings.

As romantic tensions intensify, Rose participates in strategic discussions involving Melanie’s ex-partner Justin Buke (Mick O'Malley) and voices skepticism about Toadie’s grand gestures aimed at winning Melanie back. She acknowledges the complexity but believes she is a better match for him. Despite accusations from Melanie accusing her of manipulation, Rose insists her actions stem from sincere affection. After spending Father’s Day with Toadie’s family, Rose and Toadie plan an official date during the festival.

Rose uncovers Melanie’s film entry expressing love for Toadie; she destroys one copy but cannot prevent it from being shown publicly. Recognizing Toadie's enduring feelings for Melanie, Rose congratulates Melanie on winning the competition and gracefully accepts their situation while hoping to maintain her friendship with Toadie.

Nathan Packard

Nathan "Packo" Packard, played by Jackson Gallagher, made his first appearance on 4 November 2020. Announced by TV Soap in October 2020, Nathan is linked to Levi Canning (Richie Morris) and sparks romantic interest from Bea Nilsson (Bonnie Anderson). Gallagher characterized Nathan as a "rebellious youth" and a teenage friend of Levi’s cousin Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan). He arrives in Erinsborough intending to assist Levi in confronting past traumas but soon becomes entangled in a love triangle involving Bea, who has an on-again, off-again relationship with Levi. Due to COVID-19 safety measures, scenes between Gallagher and Anderson avoided physical contact and relied heavily on meaningful eye contact; some sequences were filmed remotely via FaceTime while Anderson was isolating following a COVID outbreak linked to The Masked Singer.

Kyle reaches out to Nathan for support in helping Levi recover from a previous assault. Nathan delivers an apology letter to the police station and later begins dating Bea. However, Kyle advises Nathan to end things with Bea because of her connection to Levi, which Nathan does. When Bea and Levi uncover Nathan’s involvement in the attack on Levi, tensions escalate. Nathan insists to Levi that his relationship with Bea was purely coincidental. After a video conversation where Bea reveals her emotional pain, Levi encourages Nathan to pursue Bea once more. To show good intentions, Nathan and Levi take a photograph together for Bea. Despite this, Sheila Canning warns Nathan to keep his distance. Following an accident that results in a concussion, Nathan is hospitalized and reconciles with Bea there. Recognizing that Bea still harbors feelings for Levi, Nathan leaves her a farewell note before departing alone.

Jay Rebecchi

Jay Rebecchi, portrayed by Dhruv Malge, first appeared on 13 November 2020. His casting was revealed after a script leak. Jay is the middle child of Dipi Rebecchi (Sharon Johal) and Shane Rebecchi (Nicholas Coghlan), characters introduced when the family arrived in 2017. Malge described Jay as an intelligent and self-assured teenager who earned a scholarship to attend boarding school in Sydney. His arrival coincides with family upheaval caused by Dipi’s affair, positioning Jay as a grounding presence within the household.

Malge acknowledged the challenge of embodying a much-anticipated character and stressed his commitment to portraying Jay truthfully. Jay’s storyline ran from November 2020 through January 2021, with a brief return in March 2021 during his parents’ departure from the show. His exit involved moving back to Sydney alongside Dipi, leaving open the possibility of future appearances.

After spending several years at boarding school, Jay returns home to Erinsborough amid his parents’ marital difficulties. He quickly becomes involved in family matters and forms connections with local teenagers including Hendrix Greyson and Mackenzie Hargreaves. Jay attempts to manage complex social dynamics such as mediating disputes and handling peer pressure during schoolies week.

Jay engages in risky activities with Hendrix, including illegal card counting aimed at resolving debts owed to local criminal Kane Jones. The situation escalates dangerously when Hendrix hides a firearm that subsequently causes an explosion injuring Shane. Taking accountability for his involvement, Jay opts to return to Sydney as a day student so he can focus on discovering his authentic self.

Throughout his narrative arc, Jay’s experiences highlight themes of self-identity, peer influence, and responsibility. His relationship with Mackenzie adds emotional complexity and suggests potential future developments. The character’s departure centers on personal growth supported by family, aligning with the show’s overarching storytelling approach.
