Neighbours cast guide and character pictures: Who plays who?

Stefan is the sole remaining member of the original Neighbours cast, having played bad boy Paul Robinson since the first episode in 1985.

Stefan's initial run in the Ramsay Street soap lasted until 1992, but he returned as a guest the following year and then again as a regular from the 2004 season finale onwards.

Ruthless businessman Paul is currently married to Terese Willis. His other closest ties in the current cast are his son David Tanaka and granddaughter Harlow Robinson.

Clive was a Neighbours regular in 1986 and 1987 and returned for a guest appearance in 1989. Back in the '80s, Geoff was working as a doctor but was best known for setting up his own 'gorillagram' agency.

In 2017, Clive made a surprise return to the show as the Chief Operating Officer of the Erinsborough Hospital. He's still a recurring guest and is currently in a relationship with Jane Harris.

Jane was one of the best-known Neighbours characters during her original run between 1986 and 1989, appearing in storylines alongside Scott and Charlene. The student was nicknamed 'Plain Jane Superbrain' by her peers, in reference to her geeky image and reserved nature.

Jane made guest appearances in 2005, 2018 and 2020. Later in 2020, she was promoted to a regular character again.

Zany secretary Melanie is another fan favourite from the show's golden era. She appeared in Erinsborough as a regular between 1987 and 1991, and returned for a cameo in the 20th anniversary episode in 2005.

In 2021, Melanie has been making frequent guest appearances in the show – catching up with old Erinsborough friends and making some new ones too.

Shane was originally played by Greg O'Meara in 1994 and 1995. In 2017, Neighbours brought in Nicholas Coghlan to take on the role, as part of plans to expand the Rebecchi clan by bringing back Toadie's brother and introducing his family.

Shane is a bartender at The Waterhole and aspiring inventor. Along with Toadie, his other close links in the show are his estranged wife Dipi and their daughter Yashvi.

Alan has portrayed fan favourite Karl Kennedy since 1994. The local doctor is one of Neighbours' best-loved characters and has featured in some of the show's biggest storylines, including Karl's infamous kiss with Sarah Beaumont and his controversial relationship with Izzy Hoyland.

Karl works at the Erinsborough Hospital and, despite his many indiscretions over the years, is still happily married to his wife Susan.

Susan also joined Ramsay Street in 1994 and remains hugely popular with fans of the show. Her most memorable moments include that slap after discovering Karl kissed Sarah, suffering from amnesia after slipping on spilt milk, feuding with Izzy Hoyland, and pushing Finn Kelly off a cliff.

Such an eventful life hasn't stopped Susan from remaining a pillar of the local community and she's currently principal of Erinsborough High.

Toadie first appeared in 1995 as part of the already-established Rebecchi family. Although he was originally intended to be a short-lived guest, he was promoted to a recurring character and later became a show regular.

Toadie lives on Ramsay Street with his young daughter Nell, having sadly lost his wife Sonya to cancer in 2019. He makes a living as the local lawyer – but his track record of getting his neighbours off the hook when they're accused of terrible crimes is a mixed bag, to say the least.

Kyle made his debut in 2008 as a troublesome school bully, but when viewers warmed to him, the producers kept bringing him back for more appearances.

From 2011, Kyle became a full-time member of the cast and stuck around until 2016. In 2019, he returned as a Ramsay Street regular.

Loveable idiot Kyle is currently in a relationship with Roxy Willis. He lives at Number 26 with his gran Sheila and cousin Levi.

Neighbours decided to expand the Canning family in 2012 by bringing in Kyle's meddling grandmother Sheila. She was originally introduced as a guest, but became a show regular shortly afterwards.

Sheila works at The Waterhole and spends much of her time meddling in the lives of her grandsons Kyle and Levi. She's currently single after splitting from Clive Gibbons.

Child actress Scarlett Anderson has played the role of Toadie and Sonya's daughter Nell since she was a baby.

The character of Nell was born in 2013.

In 2013, Neighbours introduced the Willis family – centred around Brad Willis, a face from Ramsay Street's past. Terese was married to Brad and they moved to the Street with their children Josh and Imogen.

Terese is the last remaining member of the original foursome after the others all left the show. She's now married to Paul Robinson and is co-owner of the Lassiters Hotel, taking a tough but fair approach to matters of business.

Aaron arrived on Ramsay Street in 2015 as the brother of already-established characters Mark and Tyler Brennan. He has proved to have staying power on the Street, sticking around after Mark and Tyler left. Aaron's sister Chloe remains part of the show too.

Aaron featured in groundbreaking scenes in 2018 when he tied the knot with David Tanaka – the first same-sex wedding in an Australian drama. Nicolette Stone is currently carrying a baby for the couple.

Viewers also know and love Aaron for his wide variety of careers – exotic dancer, social media manager, personal trainer – and we could go on!

Ned arrived in 2016 as the son of Brad Willis and Beth Brennan (yep, the character played by Natalie Imbruglia in the '90s). In 2018, he became a regular cast member after successful guest stints.

Ned, who's passionate about his career in art, is still close to his stepmum Terese and is currently in a relationship with Yashvi Rebecchi.

David arrived in 2016 with his twin brother Leo. The siblings were on the hunt for their biological father, who turned out to be resident rogue Paul Robinson.

David is married to husband Aaron and works as a doctor at the local hospital.

Dipi moved to the Street in 2017 with her husband Shane and their daughters Yashvi and Kirsha. Dipi owns the local café.

Dipi's biggest storyline to date aired in 2020, when she embarked on an affair with Pierce Greyson. Upcoming episodes airing in the UK will explore whether Dipi and Shane can get their marriage back on track after the affair drama tore their marriage apart.

Sharon Johal recently announced her departure from Neighbours and has already filmed her final scenes.

Yashvi arrived on Ramsay Street in 2017 with her family and was a student at Erinsborough High for her first few years in the show. Since graduating, she has started working as a police constable.

Yashvi is currently dating Ned Willis.

Chloe was the last of the Brennan siblings to join Ramsay Street, turning up in 2018. Her memorable storylines have included dealing with a diagnosis of Huntington's disease and her relationships with Leo Tanaka, Elly Conway and Pierce Greyson.

Chloe is currently single after Pierce's affair with Dipi led to the breakdown of their marriage.

Australia's Got Talent winner Bonnie Anderson joined Neighbours in 2018 as Bea, the sister of Elly Conway and niece of Susan Kennedy.

The local mechanic's most dramatic storylines have revolved around her ill-fated relationship with evil villain Finn Kelly, who was killed off in 2020. She's now in a romance with Levi Canning.

Viewers have often seen Bea sing during her time on the show, in a nod to Bonnie's real-life talents. Bonnie is also the current singer of the Neighbours theme tune.

Bonnie recently filmed her final Neighbours scenes after deciding to leave the show.

Roxy arrived on Ramsay Street in 2019, moving in with her aunt Terese Willis. She immediately shook up life in Erinsborough with her wild ways and love for partying.

Roxy will soon make plans to set up her own business in Erinsborough. She's currently dating Kyle Canning.
