Neighbours	comment	Neighbours is an Australian soap opera series that follows the lives of the residents of Ramsay Street, a street in the fictional suburb of Erinsborough that doubles as most dangerous residential area on earth and Melbourne, and Australia's answer to the Bermuda Triangle. The show originally featured two main families, the Ramsays (who the street is named after) and Robinsons, but the Ramsays gradually faded away to be replaced by other families, such as the Kennedys and Scullys.Premiering in 1985 on Channel Seven but later moved to Channel 10, it's the oldest of the two main Australian soap operas, the other being Home and Away. It is primarily known as the series that launched many a career, including those of Margot Robbie, Russell Crowe, Chris Hemsworth, and most famously Kylie Minogue, whose character Charlene's 1987 wedding to Jason Donovan's Scott became the signature moment of the series.In February 2022, it was announced that Neighbours would be ceasing production in August of that year following the decision of the UK broadcaster, Channel 5, to withdraw its funding (barring the unlikely event of another UK channel picking the show up). The final 90-minute long episode aired on July 28, 2022 and was watched by 1.2 million people, the highest viewing figures the series had seen since 2009. Totaling at 38 seasons and 8903 episodes (the finale comprising episodes 8901-8903), for all intents and purposes, the longest-running soap opera in Australian history had come to an end.However, in November 2022, it was announced that Amazon had purchased the entire backlog of Neighbours for streaming and had commissioned a brand new run of episodes to commence in 2023, with the new episodes being viewable on Amazon's Freevee channels and airing on Australia Channel 10.Not to be confused with a Tommy Wiseau sitcom, a show about aliens landing in New Jersey, or with the various films titled Neighbors.

Neighbours / int_15874e11	comment	Played with in 2005 when Darcy Tyler woke up from a coma with no memory of the fall that put him there the previous year, and by extension no memory of the argument he was having with Isabelle Hoyland at the time. His memory started to return after a few days but when he realised that he was going to be charged with robbing Isabelle's apartment, he resorted to Faking Amnesia, using a polygraph test to confirm that he had no memory of the burglary, no doubt helped by the fact that he was innocent of the burglary and knew that Isabelle had framed him. He managed to get off with a 12-month good behaviour bond.

Cue the arrival of his fourth ex-wife Lyn Scully. When Hannah's grandfather Jim Robinson died, she said to Helen "Anyone can die? Does that mean Mummy and Daddy could die too?" 18 months later her mother Julie duly died.

The 2011 storyline has a scene where Toadie (then working for the developers' legal team, before he realised how shady they were) explicitly points out that Paul has no moral high ground after what he did while working for Affirmacon in 2005. Finn Kelly (albeit before his memory returned and thus made him evil again) helped rescue Elly Conway and deliver her baby while Robert Robinson took her hostage.

He did however make an appearance in 1994, years after Nell and the extended Mangel family had left the street. The Simpson family moved into No. 30 after Terry was arrested and Paul went back to No. 26, but "mostly kept to themselves" before moving out in 1988.

Neighbours / int_23698fa8	comment	Aborted Arc: Perhaps inevitably, a few storylines had to be cut short following the series cancellation in 2022, most notably Karl and Susan's financial troubles resulting from a bad investment. The 2023 revival picked this up by revealing that they had managed to recover to some extent when Susan was given a generous retirement package, but she's not happy about retiring and still resents Karl for it. Susan and Terese's conversation about it has a bit of Leaning on the Fourth Wall regarding the fact that it wasn't resolved at the time due to everything else going on (i.e, Hendrix's death).

Jack Lassiter made a guest appearance for the first time in over twenty years, only to tell Paul he was dying and thus making Paul re-evaluate his own life. Doug Willis was killed in the Lassiters' boiler explosion in one of his guest appearances. Faye Brennan spent her last few days being nursed by Nicolette back on the street. A sort-of example in David Tanaka, who only returned to Erinsborough for a couple of months before he died after a fight with criminal Eden Shaw.

The first characters added were at the start of 1986 when Zoe, Mike and Clive (who were all introduced in the season's first two episodes) were added on (curiously, Paul's first wife Terry was added to the regular cast in the end credits when Maria Ramsay left, but not the opening). Madge, who was also introduced in the season premiere, and the new Scott, who was introduced after a couple of weeks, were added about 50 episodes in. Basically, anybody who is in the show for more than a few episodes as a guest part, will likely end up appearing on the title sequence the next time it's changed. If they don't, it means that they're most probably about to leave.

Furthermore, though she may have been relatively modern and progressive compared to e.g. Harold and Mrs Mangel (though that is hardly saying much), she was in her own way very bourgeois and conservative too, particularly when e.g. insisting that Charlene should finish school and take up a secretarial course rather than become a mechanic. Subverted in the case of bitchy American model Montana Marcel. She softens up to Leo Tanaka, albeit only so she can have sex with him in exchange for participating in the Lassiters' Fashion Week. Upon discovering this, Paul and Lucy Robinson pull the plug on the event.

Neighbours / int_319e4a2f	comment	Even Evil Has Standards: Comes up a lot with certain villains, albeit usually with other villains who they don't actually have much of a moral high ground over: As scheming and evil as both of them can be themselves, Paul Robinson and Tim Collins regard Nick Petrides as the lowest of the low. That said, it's open to interpretation whether this is a case of standards or just It's Personal, since Paul was the victim of Nick's crime and refuses to accept it when Nick undergoes a Heelâ€“Face Turn, since Paul is unable to grasp the concept of someone getting out of jail and not wanting revenge. And while Paul has every right to be angry with Nick, whose actions were despicable from a medical ethics standpoint, Tim isn't actually any better when it comes to his legal ethics, considering he once agreed to screw over a client at the request of Paul, who was paying his bill. In addition, Paul assisted Paige in getting rid of the corrupt Dimato brothers. Furthermore, Paul and Izzy both regard Andrea Somers with utter contempt - posing as someone's dead wife to get money is too low an act even for them. Izzy even pitied Toadie for it, gave him free wrestling tickets and referred to Andrea as "that awful woman", while Paul assisted Sonya and Toadie in tracking Andrea down through a detective friend of his. What's more, Paul was suspicious of the supposedly rehabilitated Finn Kelly before most others were. He even hired his ex-stepmother Beverley Marshall (now a neurological specialist) to assess Finn (though to be clear, he was genuinely amnesiac at the time), and during the "Endgame" storyline he played a major part in rescuing people from him. Paul tends to act like this regarding Nicolette Stone, who admittedly has done her share of selfish, unethical and manipulative things, but has also done far more to atone for them than Paul ever does. (All the same, as explained in Enemy Mine above, the two of them have come to a reconciliation of sorts, principally provoked by their mutual disdain and suspicion towards his half-brother Glen). In turn the late Gary Canning acted this way towards both Finn Kelly and Paul himself, despite his own decidedly violent and criminal history. Despite turning out to be pretty nasty and insane herself, saucy nurse Nicola West was nevertheless useful in fighting against criminals like Pete Ferguson and Jay Duncan.

Neighbours / int_31da1e24	comment	Shipper on Deck: On learning that Kate fancies Declan, Donna goes all OTP and declares that Bridget was Declan's soul mate and he should never ever be with anyone else. She cools down later, though. Sonya was steadfast in her belief that new parents Lucas and Vanessa should be together (and not just for the sake of their newborn son either) despite the fact that Vanessa still had feelings for her ex Rhys. They ended up quite Happily Married. Toadie for Karl and Susan, on the numerous occasions their marriage was in trouble. Harlow for Paul and Terese, after she kicks him out when the truth of his deal with Nicolette comes out. At first Harlow just tries to encourage Terese to give him another chance, before participating in Paul's scheme to win her back. She then takes it to an unhealthy extreme when she suppresses her own anger with Paul over what he did to her boyfriend Brent because she still wants to see the two reconcile. When she goes so far as to feed Paul lines that might convince Terese to take him back based on a private conversation they had earlier, Terese sees through it and confronts Harlow, eventually telling her to Get Out! after Harlow tries to argue that she knew what Paul was when she married him. However, even Harlow reaches her limit a few months later when she finds out that Paul tried to manipulate Terese into taking him back by Playing Sick, to the point of paying off a dodgy doctor for a fake diagnosis, and she refuses to support him this time. Zara for her mother Amy and Toadie, though for her part Amy has no interest in interfering with Toadie and Melanie. Nell for her father Toadie and Melanie, to the extent that she previously schemed to break up Toadie and Terese's marriage despite Melanie having walked out on them. She eventually comes around on Terese, though, and after Toadie does cheat on Terese during a Moment of Weakness, Nell calls out Melanie as "selfish" for pushing for it to happen as hard as she did.

Neighbours / int_32da91b8	comment	Out of Focus: Lou Carpenter's appearances have become very irregular ever since Harold Bishop left, and even when he is in the show he seldom has any significant storylines. This is because Tom Oliver's contract gave him 4 month blocks alternating between filming and holiday, which later changed to 2 month blocks. This had led to Lou's sudden preoccupation with visiting his daughter Lauren in Mt. Isa and (upon Lauren moving to Ramsay St.) his half-Chinese lovechild Mai Ling and adoptive daughter Lolly. He left the regular cast in 2015, and hasn't appeared as a guest since late 2016. Erinsborough High School and the associated staff and students (the ones who are not regular characters) are featured much less than in the past. Madge Bishop's appearances became notably less frequent and prominent in the last couple of years she was in the programme. Although Mike Young (Guy Pearce) officially re-joined the series just before the 2022 Series Fauxnale, he only occasionally makes actual appearances, since he is now a tour guide in England.

Neighbours / int_3577923b	comment	Murder by Mistake: During the "Endgame" storyline in 2020, Finn Kelly attempted to kill Lucy Robinson for banning him from the Lassiters complex because of his past (something that hadn't been that much of an issue for the businesses in question in recent months and which, as far as she knew, he didn't even remember), planting a bomb in one of the giftboxes for the Lassiters Wedding Expo that was meant to go to her and Mark Gottlieb. However, due to a few couples switching the boxes around, it ended up in the hands of Prue Wallace, who set it off. Finn found out about the boxes being switched around in his penultimate episode, though he never found out who the eventual victim was and wasn't especially concerned about it.

Neighbours / int_35e077	comment	Fourth-Date Marriage: The show's first season was ridiculously prone to Fourth Date Engagements, though only one of those actually made it to a wedding by the end of the year. The worst was the relationship between Jim Robinson and Anna Rossi, which progressed from meeting to engagement to breakup in the space of seven half-hour episodes, spanning two weeks.

Neighbours / int_37a6a66a	comment	Instrumental Theme Tune: When a long-standing character dies, Neighbours will sometimes end the episode with a sad piano version of the theme tune, together with a montage of photos of the character's time in the show. This has been done with Todd Landers, Jim Robinson, Helen Daniels and Madge Bishop. Though in Madge's case, the sad piano theme tune played over the regular 2001 credits, but with a montage the next episode of her recent period on the show. This was because, from 2000 onwards, Neighbours started filming in widescreen. An updated version of the sad tune was used much more recently for the death of David Tanaka too, albeit again with the usual credits and no tribute montage.

May qualify as Murder by Inaction, though it is possible Gareth was already beyond saving. This breach of his ethics causes him considerable guilt afterwards, and when he ends up in a similar situation with Eden Shaw three years later, he downplays his injuries to Aaron and Leo and insists that they save Eden first.

Furthermore, once Helen died, Madge effectively became Hannah's surrogate Gran, and she also died just 18 months after Hannah and her family left the show. (Even Hannah's introduction could be arguably included in this, as the original pretext for bringing the Martins back to the show was for them to attend Todd Landers' funeral). Sky Mangel - her mother was shot when she was a toddler, her step-grandmother died of cancer, her uncle, aunt and cousin were killed in a plane crash, her baby had cancer, her boyfriend died following an operation to save said baby.

Neighbours / int_3fafbfd4	type	Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome
Neighbours / int_3fafbfd4	comment	Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome: While it's never taken to the extremes of US soaps, there seems to be a trend of (re)introducing characters old enough to have been born before their parents had even got together. This syndrome is especially prominent in the Robinson family, beginning with Lucy Robinson being suddenly aged up about two years after changing actors in 1987. Likewise, her third actor was a year older than the second. Lucinda "Elle" Robinson was born off-screen in October 1989. When she was introduced in September 2005, she should have been fifteen going on sixteen. Instead, she was closer to eighteen or nineteen, played by 22-year-old Pippa Black, and her parents Paul and Gail didn't get together until 1987. By extension, this applies to her brothers Cameron and Robert. The triplets' case appears to have gotten worse in 2019, with the introduction of Robert's daughter Harlow, born from a brief fling when he was backpacking. She was introduced as a 17-year-old, and celebrated her 18th birthday in July 2020, indicating that Robert slept with Harlow's mother when he was about 15 going by the triplets' retconned age. As such, he may have been aged up again to match his actor Adam Hunter (born 1982, as was Pippa Black). But it doesn't help that Harlow's mother's actress Denise van Outen is still several years older than him (born 1974). Incidentally, the fact that Harlow is played by the daughter of Jason Donovan creates a somewhat amusing effect given that his character Scott is her great-uncle. Paul's first daughter Amy was conceived during his brief career as a flight attendant in 1985 but was stated to be three and a half in 1988 and a nine-year-old in 1992. May have been rectified after her 2015 return, though her actress Zoe Cramond was born in 1984. Rebecca believed (or rather hoped) that Paul was the father of her son Oliver, the result of a weekend fling when he was a flight attendant (again, for a few months in 1985). However, onscreen evidence states that Oliver was born in 1981, and his actor David Hoflin was born in 1979. (For the record, the actual father was the same abusive bastard who had later raped her, resulting in her second son Declan.) Hannah Martin is introduced as eight years old in 1992, but is later identified as sixteen in 1999 despite being portrayed by the same actor. Worse, her parents Philip and Julie didn't even get together until 1985, and she wouldn't have been born until at least 9 months after that. Louise "Lolly" Carpenter, born onscreen in 1994, left in 2001, reintroduced in early 2007 as a 15-year-old played by Adelaide Kane. Not only would this imply she was born before Lou and Cheryl had even met (or by extension, Cheryl's affair with John Allen), she would have been born before Lou was even living in Ramsay St. May have been reversed after her original actor made an appearance in late 2013. Serena Bishop, introduced as a 15-year-old in October 2003 even though her father David had been last seen in May 1988, still single. Ben Kennedy/Kirk was born onscreen in December 2001. As of June 2014, he's a Year 10 student (15-16). May have been slightly rectified since, as he was still in high school in 2017. (Or not, since he was still said to be 18 and it was strongly implied that he had to repeat a year after being suspended for accidentally setting fire to the school.) Either way, like the above examples it's still skirting the timeframe of Libby and Drew's relationship. When we last saw Liz Conway in 2002, she was pregnant with her second daughter. This daughter, Bea Nilsson, would be introduced in 2018, in her early 20s. Holly Hoyland was born onscreen in 2007. She was 15 by 2018 and 19 in mid-2022, which would place her date of conception long before her parents had even met. Nell Rebecchi was born onscreen at the beginning of 2013. She was mentioned to be in her first year of high school (i.e, 12-13) in (flashbacks to) 2023. What's more, just weeks later she was stated to be 15 in a scene set in December 2024. Again, either of these would clash with the timeframe of Toadie and Sonya's relationship. Inverted with Jack Scully, who was introduced as a 19-year-old in 2001 who had been living and working in the UK away from his family for a few years. He was reintroduced late the following year under a new actor and aged down about two years so he could attend Erinsborough High. Inverted with Andrew Robinson (ironically, considering his family history): born onscreen in November 1991, reintroduced as a 16-year-old in late 2009. His retconned birthdate(s) in August 1993 would require him to be born about a year after Paul and Christina left the street for Hawaii, but just before Paul's brief return (during which he framed Philip for fraud, then exonerated him and fled to Brazil, asking Christina and Andrew to meet him there). Zigzagged with Summer Hoyland - first introduced as a 9-year-old in 2002, started high school and turned 13 in 2004 (same actor), spent a few years Commuting on a Bus before disappearing (around the time her father and brother left the street), reintroduced under a new actor as a 16-year-old in 2010.

In contrast, David, who had been far angrier with Nicolette at the time over her stealing from a dead patient years earlier, was quick to forgive her after the rescue. Though strangely, even David seems to forget about this later in the year when he agrees with Paul that Nicolette has caused them enough heartbreak.

Neighbours / int_43a045de	comment	Dropped a Bridge on Him: The three members of the Bishop family were the only casualties of a crashed plane, which they only boarded at the last minute. Also Connor, who was either killed by Paul Robinson's crazy son or went on a Long Bus Trip overseas. (The latter as it turned out, since The Bus Came Back in late 2012.) Bridget Parker's death fills the 'awkward' part of this trope: She died as the result of a mysterious rampaging white horse running out in front of her car and causing it to crash. The horse is never seen, heard of or mentioned again. (Considering her family were in the car, you'd think they would have looked into that; Possibly even sue the owner of the horse for negligence causing death?) While the horse did play a role, the crash was also the result of sabotage by a gambler who Lucas was in debt to. Hendrix Greyson's death would have been a powerful, memorable Tearjerker... except it happened a matter of weeks before the show ended for good, making it seem completely unnecessary, especially since he continued to appear in dreams or via video messages for the rest of the show's run, meaning the actor didn't even need writing out!

Neighbours / int_5989e3b6	comment	Paul tends to act like this regarding Nicolette Stone, who admittedly has done her share of selfish, unethical and manipulative things, but has also done far more to atone for them than Paul ever does. (All the same, as explained in Enemy Mine above, the two of them have come to a reconciliation of sorts, principally provoked by their mutual disdain and suspicion towards his half-brother Glen). In turn the late Gary Canning acted this way towards both Finn Kelly and Paul himself, despite his own decidedly violent and criminal history.

Also an example of Double Standard, since the women all objectify him in a way that would be seen as downright perverted and retrograde were the men to behave in such a way towards a female character. This is also how several of the other men reacted to Mark Brennan when they all filmed a topless calendar.

Neighbours / int_5bca5a56	comment	Surprise Incest: Done between Serena Bishop and Luka Dokich, the latter turning out to be Liljana's illegitimate son who had been adopted illegally without her knowledge. The two didn't go beyond kissing, but it was a close call - they probably would have had sex had they not been interrupted by a phone call about Liljana's health scare, and it was only because Luka turned out to be a match for Liljana's liver that her mother came clean to Serena. Done again between Brad Willis's children Josh and Paige - with exactly the same illegal adoption story as above - but here the flirting is one-sided and Paige finds out who he is pretty quickly. When Rebecca Napier learned that her long-lost son Oliver was dating Elle Robinson, she immediately went to visit old flame Paul and told him that Oliver was his son. Subverted when it turned out she was wrong. David and Leo Tanaka's search for their biological father led them to Erinsborough and to their mother Kim's ex-boyfriend Scott Robinson, which put Leo's relationship with Paul's daughter Amy in jeopardy. As it happened, Paul was their father instead, thanks to a previously unhinted at affair shortly before the series started. As with Serena and Luka, Amy and Leo came very close to sleeping together, only being narrowly interrupted by Paul and Kim showing up to reveal the truth.

Lauren's father Lou makes a bet with her that Matt won't go through with it and then spread the word about the class, claiming to be worried that it will be cancelled because Lauren is the only one who signed up. As a result, when Matt steps out in a towel, he is shocked to find that at least a dozen have turned up. Right when he's about to drop the towel, the fire alarm goes off (pulled by his son Bailey, having been alerted to Lou's prank) and they are forced to evacuate. He's still left thoroughly embarrassed, though, as he's now trapped outside in a towel when Sheila refuses to let him go back inside for his clothes until the fire brigade has declared the building safe.

He immediately went to tell Robert's identical twin 'Cameron' (who is really Robert) the good news. This was the last time he ever appeared on the show, and Robert was later seen driving Connor's ute and digging up the front garden. In what is either a genuine subversion or a Retcon, Connor was seemingly proven to be alive and well later in the year, when police found his wallet in China, and the following year (long after Robert was arrested) he sent Toadie and others gifts for St. Patrick's Day, also from China. He subsequently returned for a few weeks in 2012.

During his initial stint, he committed several murders single-handedly, and even caused the deaths of several Ramsay Street residents by bombing a plane. As a result, he was locked away in a supermax prison (supermax's in Real Life being facilities designed to hold those whose escape would pose a threat to national security). The current residents fear and loath Robert to an extent far beyond the likes of Finn Kelly or Andrea Somers. The prospect of Robert being a kidney donor for the dying David is seen as an absolute Godzilla Threshold, and the show's tone is completely serious whenever he's on screen.

Paige shows up in Erinsborough after learning that Brad and Lauren are her parents and spends weeks getting to know them under an alias. She decides against telling them on several occasions, but Lauren finds out for herself just as Paige has decided to leave the street and return to Adelaide. She catches up with her, and the two reveal her secret to Brad together. In the 2023 revival, JJ Varga-Murphy finds evidence that Andrew Rodwell may have been the sperm donor that his mother Cara used to conceive him when she and her wife Remi had been struggling with an unnamed American donor. When JJ's suspicions are revealed, Andrew confirms that he did donate to Philippa Wade, a mutual friend of Cara, behind his wife's back, but as far as he knew she had destroyed the sample when he chose to back out of the agreement. In turn, Cara confirms that she used the sample Philippa gave her, but didn't know which sample succeeded. When Andrew and JJ take a DNA test, it turns out not to be a match, but the fact that both were somewhat disappointed about the result continues to cause tension for both families. The story was revisited in February 2024 when Andrew discovered evidence that his brother Felix could have possibly been the donor.

Neighbours / int_8967e17f	comment	The number of retcons needed to make Dee's 2019 Back from the Dead even remotely plausible somehow managed to top this, with her disappearance being blamed on her then 16-year-old sister Cecile dating a mob hitman, resulting in her being mistaken for an Identical Stranger (after visiting him the day before wedding, even though she was seen that day doing no such thing) and targeted for death. (The accident in which she disappeared had always been portrayed as...an accident.) Said hitman somehow managed to both follow her car and be at the bottom of a cliff to rescue her from a lake (despite no other car being seen in the episode it happened) and then go into hiding with her and Cecile, who was shown to be in Erinsborough attending her memorial service at the time. It even contradicted details about how Cecile died from two years earlier. And then, just to cap it off, it was revealed that said Identical Stranger, Andrea Somers, was actually her Separated at Birth Evil Twin and her mad mother Heather was Dee's mother, even though a DNA test had already shown Dee and Cecile to be sisters.

Neighbours / int_898ff050	comment	Paul Robinson is the ultimate Resident Villain with a huge case of Joker Immunity. In 2004, he murdered a man and torched the Lassiters complex but never received any legal punishment and only a token karmic punishment: It's now basically treated as an open secret among the residents. He has since committed a number of frauds and even attempted murders, as well as framing people for crimes both successfully and unsuccessfully, and is a massive Control Freak towards his family, yet never receives any real punishment and is always Easily Forgiven unless someone's leaving the show: He even managed to get the woman whose life he had been routinely making hell for the best part of a decade to marry him, and despite giving her numerous reasons to file for divorce, she still takes him back in the 2022 series finale, which also contrives a way for him to retain control of Lassiters yet again.

Neighbours / int_8ba9512b	comment	Our Zombies Are Different: From the non-canon Youtube special, Neighbours Vs Zombies: the zombies are implied to be a result of toxic waste dumping, though this has affected characters who've been dead for as many as twelve years, were buried far from Erinsborough, or were cremated. The zombies themselves retain their memories up to the day they died, as well as their personalities, friendships and rivalries, and while they do crave human meat, they seem to possess enough self-awareness to at least try to control themselves - at one point Stingray appears to be about to attack Karl and Susan until Karl reminds him that the hospital canteen is still open. We eventually learn that Paul was responsible for their creation, his intention being to bring back his murdered niece Kate along with other loved ones. However, the zombies all end up becoming mindless predators, with the exception of David, and whether anyone in Erinsborough survived the night is left ambiguous.

She then combines this with a troubling Lack of Empathy regarding Kyle's cancer and Roxy's struggle to deal with it, which gets to the point where her friends wonder if she's actually being influenced by her father Robert's genes and turning into a psychopath. The show then seems to walk back from this implication, suggesting she's suffering from Compassion Fatigue.

Neighbours / int_927b2f11	type	The Bus Came Back
Neighbours / int_927b2f11	comment	The Bus Came Back: Plenty of characters, often years after their departure, with quite a few not only becoming regulars again but staying for longer than their original stints (Julie Robinson/Martin, Harold and Madge Bishop, Paul Robinson, Lauren Carpenter, Brad Willis, Clive Gibbons and Jane Harris stand out). At one point the record between appearances was Kim Taylor/Tanaka (Jenny Young), returning 32 years and 7500 episodes after her storyline wrapped up. (This record has since been outdone several times in the 2020s, and is currently held by Shane Ramsay returning in 2022 after a 35-year gap.) Taken to extremes in a 2019 storyline where several of Paul's ex-wives return to the show over a course of a few weeks in the lead-up to his marriage to Terese. The first three seem to have legitimate excuses for being in town anyway (Gail meeting her newly-introduced granddaughter Harlow, Lyn needing to sort out some hiring at the Flametree retreat and Rebecca wanting to help with Toadie's foundation), but they all take an opportunity to warn Terese against marrying Paul. This leads to Paul and Terese deciding to elope somewhere else, but when they end up in a resort in Queensland they run into an equally bitter Christina. At this point Paul is ready to give up on happiness with Terese until Caroline shows up and reveals that all of this was an elaborate setup arranged by Elle, who doesn't want her father to get married again when he hasn't learned from the mistakes that messed up those previous marriages. Paul does end up marrying Terese, with help from a celebrant dressed as Elvis hired by Caroline, but their warnings end up being proven correct two years later. The 2020s saw a surprising number of returns even outside of anniversary or Back for the Finale celebrations, with Jane Harris, Clive Gibbons (though both had been recurring for a while), Amy Greenwood, Melanie Pearson and Glen Donnelly becoming regular characters again decades after their original departures.

Finn himself lampshades this earlier in the hospital when Robert was (supposedly) being sedated in order to donate his kidney to David, saying to Karl that the crimes for which the residents cannot forgive Robert are not actually that different to his own crimes, to which Karl responds "you can't compare." When Terese goes to a marriage counselling session with Paul, she gives a speech about his pattern of deceitful behaviour going back decades, explaining why she can't trust him anymore and why she may not even want to save the marriage. Paul angrily describes this as the pot calling the kettle black, citing her own choices like cheating on her fiance Gary (with Paul), perjuring herself to send Paul to prison for the Lassiters boiler explosion which killed Josh and Doug (which he was innocent of, and he had long since forgiven her for) and for covering up the hidden cameras at Lassiters.

Neighbours / int_9890e176	type	Same Character, But Different
Neighbours / int_9890e176	comment	Same Character, But Different: Paul Robinson's return in 2004, though the actual change arguably occurred in 1993 when he framed Philip for fraud and fled to Brazil. The same could also be said for Madge Bishop on her return in 1996. The fact that she was far more meek, passive and peripheral than before was precisely why Anne Charleston quit for good. (Curiously, when she came back in 2015 as a figment of Harold's imagination, she was actually much closer to her original feisty and outspoken self). PerfectBlend has argued this about Cody Willis's recasting in 1993: Samantha Fitzgerald, during her 2008 guest stint, was a fairly sympathetic Romantic False Lead to Dan and Libby, trying to make her marriage work despite her struggle with bipolar disorder, and came across as a Graceful Loser when the relationship did end. She was also an ethical attorney who had no trouble working with Toadie. Two years later, after Libby and Dan had broken up, Sam returns and has taken on the job of prosecuting Stephanie, who had also been involved with Dan and had a baby with him, for culpable driving, ignoring the obvious conflict of interest (though even here she didn't look too bad given that Steph was guilty of causing Ringo's death and Libby was willing to perjure herself for her). When she returns in 2020, she's still holding a grudge over Dan leaving her and blaming the Kennedys for it, to the point of getting involved in Claudia Watkins' custody suit against them after Susan's niece Elly is arrested for murder and helping her blackmail a judge to ensure that Elly ends up in prison despite the DPP's recommendation. When Toadie finds out that she was behind the blackmail, he calls her a disgrace to the profession. Brad Willis in his 2013-17 incarnation was far more serious and even melancholic than the famously laid-back surfer dude he was in 1991-93.

A standout moment came in Episode #7000. A week earlier, Toadie and Sonya decided on a whim to be naked around the house for a day, due to them finally having it to themselves for the first time in years. They were interrupted by a prospective client of Toadie, who got the wrong impression entirely and convinced them to host a naked lunch for herself and her husband. Toadie went through with it, being that desperate to earn their business, and Sonya agreed as well. The lunch was interrupted by an intersecting plotline, Karl and Sheila's search for the former's winning scratch ticket. Toadie told them they would have to strip to come in - Sheila refused, but Karl didn't, and he soon found the ticket stuck to Toadie's bum. Once the lunch was over and the clients apparently on board, they invited Toadie and Sonya to a naturists camp. Toadie decided to come clean, but the clients didn't care, declaring him the most dedicated lawyer they'd ever had.

Finn himself has said this to other characters specifically regarding the contrast between how they treat those two and him. One of the few consequences he did have to deal with aside from his sentence was Lucy Robinson banning him from the Lassiters complex, which ended up putting a target on her after he got his memory back. Paul Robinson is the ultimate Resident Villain with a huge case of Joker Immunity. In 2004, he murdered a man and torched the Lassiters complex but never received any legal punishment and only a token karmic punishment: It's now basically treated as an open secret among the residents. He has since committed a number of frauds and even attempted murders, as well as framing people for crimes both successfully and unsuccessfully, and is a massive Control Freak towards his family, yet never receives any real punishment and is always Easily Forgiven unless someone's leaving the show: He even managed to get the woman whose life he had been routinely making hell for the best part of a decade to marry him, and despite giving her numerous reasons to file for divorce, she still takes him back in the 2022 series finale, which also contrives a way for him to retain control of Lassiters yet again. Rebecca Napier received no punishment for pushing Paul off a balcony in 2010, which actually led Terese to have a massive rant about her to him when Rebecca made her guest appearance along with Paul's other ex-wives in 2019. Tim Collins never faced any consequences for his unethical actions as a lawyer, up to and including attempting to screw over a client on Paul's orders.

Yashvi recognised her but couldn't place her, and a misunderstanding involving her father Shane, who had been friends with Mackenzie's parents, forced her to come out sooner than she would have liked.

For that matter, Toadie and Shane Rebecchi are noticeably better-spoken than their staunchly working-class parents Kevin and Angie.

Neighbours / int_b219ac90	comment	Retool: Until 1991, the cast was relatively stable and familiar. However, between Harold Bishop's disappearance in 1991 and Jim Robinson's death in 1993, the cast had undergone major flux, the overall tone of the programme became Darker and Edgier and, apart from the presence of Helen Daniels, for a number of years there was barely any trace of the programme's 1980's origins. Other major changes occurred in 2004-07, which effectively began with Paul Robinson's return and introduced several very wacky and violent storylines (often involving Paul himself). In turn, this came to an end when Paul had a brain tumour removed and another major cast turnover occurred.

Neighbours / int_b2280b66	type	Retcon
Neighbours / int_b2280b66	comment	Retcon: David Bishop was a childless singleton in 1988 but he had a 16-year-old daughter and a wife when he returned in 2003. Elle Robinson was born off-screen in October 1989, so when she arrived in Ramsay Street in 2005, she should have been sixteen. Instead, she was nineteen. Sonya Mitchell started off as Toadie's girlfriend with a history of addiction and mother figure to Toadie's adoptive son. She was then retconned into being Callum's actual biological mother who had kept her identity secret for almost two years. The introduction of Jill Ramsay and her kids in 2009, complete with a backstory that original character Max Ramsay had had an affair with best friend Jim Robinson's wife and had a daughter with her prior to the series. This just came out of nowhere, and stands out because of three previous revelations involving the same families: in the show's first year Max had claimed the high ground over estranged wife Maria on the grounds that even though they had both cheated, he had never had a child with someone else (namely Danny). In 1991, Jim was revealed to have had a son from an affair while serving in Vietnam. And in 1993, Julie was revealed to be the result of Anne being raped by Jim's boss. In short, there's no way this wouldn't have come up earlier. Amusingly, the show seemed to lampshade the absurdity of this in the final week of the 2022 season, when Shane Ramsay looked at Paul's photo of Jill's kids and commented that he couldn't believe Max and Anne had an affair. Similar to the above: In 1985, Scott's 15-year-old girlfriend Kim Taylor ran away from home and got pregnant by a creepy guy named Brad who planned to sell the baby. In 2017, it was revealed the father was actually Paul, a character she seemed to have a barely passing acquaintance with. And her father was retconned as her stepfather and her as half-Japanese, in an attempt to explain why two white characters have Japanese children, despite the fact that the big reveal of the original storyline was that her mother had a daughter out of wedlock who wasn't Kim. And Brad is inexplicably given a Race Lift and turned into her on-off boyfriend. The Kim of 1985 was so shy, inexperienced and repressed that she had to pretend to go to the library just to meet Scott for a milkshake: The idea that three months earlier she was going to uni parties and sleeping with not one but two older men was absurd. Likewise, the show seemed to lampshade this in the same conversation between Paul and Shane. The number of retcons needed to make Dee's 2019 Back from the Dead even remotely plausible somehow managed to top this, with her disappearance being blamed on her then 16-year-old sister Cecile dating a mob hitman, resulting in her being mistaken for an Identical Stranger (after visiting him the day before wedding, even though she was seen that day doing no such thing) and targeted for death. (The accident in which she disappeared had always been portrayed as...an accident.) Said hitman somehow managed to both follow her car and be at the bottom of a cliff to rescue her from a lake (despite no other car being seen in the episode it happened) and then go into hiding with her and Cecile, who was shown to be in Erinsborough attending her memorial service at the time. It even contradicted details about how Cecile died from two years earlier. And then, just to cap it off, it was revealed that said Identical Stranger, Andrea Somers, was actually her Separated at Birth Evil Twin and her mad mother Heather was Dee's mother, even though a DNA test had already shown Dee and Cecile to be sisters. A minor but especially baffling case occurred in 2020, in the lead-up to the 35th anniversary. When Jane Harris was asked if she could handle an engagement celebration (specifically between Lucy Robinson and Mark Gottlieb) given what was going on with her, she replies that "Lucy and Mark are two of my oldest friends," which is a stretch for Lucy (they were never particularly close when they lived on Ramsay Street together in the 1980s) and virtually impossible for Mark, who was first introduced four years after Jane left Erinsborough in 1989. The show has yet to elaborate on this remark. There's also a subtler moment where Paul seems to recognise Mark and greet him like an old friend despite appearing together in all of four episodes, 27 years earlier. Another minor example was when Hannah Martin was helping Harold and Madge Bishop write Helen Daniels' eulogy, asking them "did you mention the play she was in with Cheryl?" This is despite the fact that Harold would not have known about Cheryl at all, while Madge would have only indirectly known her through Helen and Lou. When Sky Mangel returned in 2003, she explicitly stated that Joe and Melanie split up as far back as 1993. Nevertheless, when Harold Bishop returned in 2022, Melanie said that the last time she saw Harold was when he had just reunited with Madge in Queensland, "just before Joe and I broke up", which would have been in 1996. Melanie also calls Harold "Jelly Belly", a nickname that had only been used by Lou in a couple of episodes before Melanie became a regular, while Lou only moved to the street permanently a few months after she and Joe left.

A week earlier, Toadie and Sonya decided on a whim to be naked around the house for a day, due to them finally having it to themselves for the first time in years. They were interrupted by a prospective client of Toadie, who got the wrong impression entirely and convinced them to host a naked lunch for herself and her husband. Toadie went through with it, being that desperate to earn their business, and Sonya agreed as well. The lunch was interrupted by an intersecting plotline, Karl and Sheila's search for the former's winning scratch ticket. Toadie told them they would have to strip to come in - Sheila refused, but Karl didn't, and he soon found the ticket stuck to Toadie's bum. Once the lunch was over and the clients apparently on board, they invited Toadie and Sonya to a naturists camp. Toadie decided to come clean, but the clients didn't care, declaring him the most dedicated lawyer they'd ever had.

Despite Amy Greenwood's own flighty and sexual personality, she comforts Toadie regarding Melanie Pearson, who is even more unstable and unfaithful than her! Although Eileen Clarke did have some of Mrs Mangel's busybody traits and got on better with her than did most other characters, even for her Mrs Mangel was too extreme and judgemental.

Neighbours / int_b545453b	comment	Internal Homage: In April 1986, Scott Robinson saw someone climbing through the window of No. 24, ran up the stairs to intervene, and got punched in the face by Charlene Mitchell for his trouble. Thirty years later, this scenario plays out again with Scott and Charlene's children Daniel and Madison. The scene was referenced again in the 2022 final episode when Scott and Charlene returned to the street. When Des Clarke returned to the street in March 2020, accompanied by an instrumental of the 1980s version of the theme song, the first thing he saw was Dipi Rebecchi accidentally spraying her husband Shane by turning on the sprinkler, the same way Daphne used to do to Des in the 1986 opening titles. Paul Robinson told Ringo Brown about the song "Suddenly" by Angry Anderson, which was the song played during Scott and Charlene's famous wedding in 1987. Thus, in 2010, the actor Sam Clark recorded his own version for Ringo's wedding to Donna. A sort-of example from Aaron and David's wedding, where Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan's hit "Especially For You" plays over it. The song is used again to introduce Scott and Charlene's return in the 2022 finale.

Neighbours / int_bb18a227	type	It's All About Me
Neighbours / int_bb18a227	comment	It's All About Me: Julie Robinson, especially in the 1985 season - she sabotages the first romantic relationship her father has had in the ten years since her mother died, to the point of manipulating her younger sister and slapping Anna at her engagement party, simply because she didn't want her role in the household usurped (never mind that she's 21, has a job and doesn't have much trouble finding another place to live after her father justifiably kicks her out for the above). She improves a lot after falling in love with Philip, encouraging him to go back to his children and give Loretta another chance (though that didn't end well) and apologising to Jim for the above. When she returns in the 1992 season...she hasn't improved much. Practically her first act is to turn down a job Philip wanted (and lie to him that he didn't get it) because she considers it beneath him. (This backfires when he instead takes the even less glamorous job of school caretaker.) Her other social climbing actions include getting her superior Benito Alessi sacked to manoeuvre Philip into his job, and inadvertently causing daughter Hannah to keep quiet about the fact that Philip's prospective boss tried to abduct her by telling her it's important they be nice to him. She basically blackmails Philip into sending troublemaking son Michael back to boarding school, and she refuses to let Lou use business funds to bail out Wayne Duncan (before declaring she never doubted him when the charges are dropped). She's on bad terms with Jim when he died after objecting to another of his relationships (although admittedly she had reason to be suspicious of Fiona). In the end, she makes life so miserable for her family that when she finally falls to her death from a roof during a drunken self-centred rant, it's hard not to cheer.

Neighbours / int_bf95550c	comment	Tie-In Novel: Two of these written in 1989 by Valda Marshall and Ray Kolle, both early writers for the show: The Ramsays: A Family Divided, begins with Madge's first meeting Fred Mitchell in 1965 and tracks the eventual breakdown of their marriage in 1985 (coinciding with Henry going to prison and Charlene's secret Teen Pregnancy), and The Robinsons: A Family in Crisis, the story of the month leading up to Lucy's birth and Anne's death in 1975. Both are generally consistent with the information presented onscreen at the time, to the point of Loose Canon, but the former gets two characters names wrong contextCharlene's ex-boyfriend's name was given as Ian instead of Greg, while the first chapter has a throwaway mention of Lou Carter as opposed to Lou Carpenter (who admittedly had only had a brief guest stint when the book was published and the latter has since been contradicted by retcons. contextA throwaway line stating that Jim and Anne's first three children were planned was contradicted by the revelation in 1993 that Julie wasn't Jim's and was a Child by Rape, while an episode in 2022 has Paul describe his mother dying after a long illness that he didn't take as seriously as he should have, contradicting the book showing her dying suddenly from a blood clot after giving birth to Lucy (according to Word of God, the Death by Childbirth at least is still canon, but it would have not been as sudden or shocking as the book portrays). More generally, the friendships between Jim and Max and Anne and Maria show no signs of the animosity that would have resulted from Max and Anne's affair resulting in a pregnancy, which was revealed in 2009.

Of the Robinson children, villainous Paul was of course the mean, Scott and Lucy were pretty nice, and Julie was the in-between - she had a much stronger moral code than Paul, but unfortunately it coincided with a rather unpleasant personality and demeanour.

Neighbours / int_cbe3d017	comment	The retconned backstory of Dee Bliss and Andrea Somers has created a string of rather massive ones. To put it chronologically: In 1979, Heather Schilling gives birth to twin girls at a women's shelter in Perth. The nuns who helped her decide that she's in no condition to look after both babies and arrange for one to be illegally adopted by John and Magda Bliss, who name her Dione. Heather blocks out all memory of the second baby and raises Andrea to the best of her abilities. Years later, Andrea briefly dates a member of the Zantuck crime family and unwittingly ends up on a hitlist. In 2003, shortly before Dee's wedding to Toadie, her adoptive sister Cecile is dating Riley Cooper, who also has connections to the Zantucks. When Dee is seen by Riley's boss and mistaken for Andrea, they send someone to the wedding and attempt to kill Dee by sabotaging both the limousine and the car that they actually ended up taking (despite having no way of knowing Stuart or Connor would offer it to them). After the "accident", Riley rescued Dee without being noticed and went into hiding with her. Years later, after the Zantucks had been arrested with Riley's help, Dee decided not to interfere with Toadie's new relationship with Sonya and started a new life as "Karen." In 2016, Toadie's former girlfriend Sindi Watts ran into Andrea while traveling through Western Australia and was amazed by her resemblance to Dee. Andrea latched onto this and put together a scheme to impersonate Dee and get her hands on her inheritance from Dee's adoptive parents. With the reluctant help of Sindi, she managed to convince Toadie and others she was Dee, and while there was no inheritance left, she managed to scam thousands of dollars from him and Sonya before disappearing. Sometime later in Hobart, she ran into a man named Ian who mistook her for "Karen", raising the possibility that Dee really was still alive, and when Toadie's family found out about this they attempted to track him down, leading to Dee's return.

A sort-of example. When Paul bribes Nicolette to hand over her baby Isla to Aaron and David, with the condition that she never contact them or her mother again, she hands over to Paul a different baby, who is later revealed to be the daughter of David's brother Leo and his ex-girlfriend Britney. When Britney comes to regret this deal, she goes to Erinsborough and takes Abigail back, forcing Nicolette to return to the boys and come clean.

Elly denied it, saying, "I guess I was attracted to what she represents: someone who loves me unconditionally." She did briefly pursue a relationship with Chloe after her annulment from Mark, but it didn't last and Elly was only involved with male characters for the rest of her tenure. However, she eventually returned for the 2022 finale week and got back with Chloe. One interpretation of Sky's feelings for Lana. They did kiss in 2004 but Sky stated outright she wasn't attracted to females in general and exclusively dated males throughout her time on the show. When she returned in 2020, it was revealed she had reunited with ex-boyfriend Dylan shortly after leaving and only broken up with him six months earlier...and was now marrying Lana. The fact she'd never shown interest in females otherwise was handwaved with a remark about how she wasn't ready to love Lana when they first met. Nicolette Stone was introduced as a lesbian in 2020, but as of 2024 she has been shown questioning this after what happened between her and Sasha McLain.

Neighbours / int_d52d28b6	comment	Hypocrite: Julie Robinson complains about Mrs. Brown's inability to stay out of other people's business, apparently forgetting how she just staged a vindictive crusade to get rid of Anna, the first love interest her father has had in the ten years since her mother died. Karl Kennedy is often among the first to ridicule and criticise Paul Robinson for his past infidelities and inability at maintaining relationships, with the latter usually correctly retorting that the former's own record isn't exactly squeaky clean either. Karl's judgementalism towards Melanie Pearson for her history of infidelity is a bit rich too. Paul himself has a rant at Nicolette - calling her a terrible person, liar, schemer, etc, none of which he has any moral high ground for. note Interestingly, Nicolette's crime of stealing a lottery ticket from a recently dead patient rather than hand it over to his family involved the exact same sum of money as when Paul screwed over a journalist by framing him for libel to get a payout from the West Waratah Star in 2016. One particularly galling moment is when he finds out that she knew about Pierce and Dipi's affair and didn't tell Chloe, instead engineering a situation where she'd walk in on them. When he feigns disgust about it, Terese has to point out to him that he also knew about the affair before Chloe did, and chose to blackmail Pierce over it. Nicolette herself points out to her mother Jane Harris after she calls Amy Greenwood a terrible mother because of Zara's (supposed) misdeeds, "what does that make you?" For her part, Jane denies that she would have ever let Nicolette get away with half of what Zara had seemingly done. Nicolette is furious at Aaron for running away after David's death, apparently forgetting how she herself ran away when she was pregnant. (In fairness, Aaron does call her out on it). "People like Brent almost always end up behind bars". Have you looked at your own record, Paul? (Though admittedly, he did somehow have it expunged back in 2013, and the last time he was in prison in 2016 was genuinely a frame-up.) Paul is appalled when Leo announces he is legally handing over baby Abi to Aaron and David, calling him "selfish", despite the fact he himself was seldom around when any of his children were growing up. Other examples of Paul's hypocrisy include him criticising Byron Stone for his history of prostitution, even though Paul has probably slept with just as many women as him - the only difference being that Byron got paid for it; furthermore, he blames Krista Sinclair for his son David's death, despite him semi-conspiring with Eden Shaw by informing him about the group holiday in the countryside, which would prove fatal. Mrs Mangel used to ridicule Madge for being pompous, gossipy and having an unfaithful husband and criminal son...all traits that she was at least equally guilty of herself. She also tells Hilary Robinson to "mind your own business" at Scott and Charlene's wedding after the latter criticises her for her argument with Dan Ramsay, despite the fact the two women are about as pompous and interfering as each other. Toadie and Steph practically disowned Darren Stark for cheating on Libby, yet a few years later Steph slept with Libby's recently separated husband Dan Fitzgerald and became pregnant in the process, with Toadie conspiring with her by pretending that the baby was his. Susan got angry with Karl for helping Andrea Somers and called her "a con-artist", yet she was the one who insisted on hosting Finn Kelly, who was at the very least equally nasty. One reason why Claudia Watkins was unhappy about Elly Conway having custody over baby Aster was due to her dislike of her mother Liz Conway, despite the fact that Claudia herself is at a minimum equally untrustworthy, uncaring, manipulative etc. as the latter. A much more benign and minor example than the above: in 2014 Lou Carpenter staged a campaign for Karl and Susan Kennedy to stay in Ramsay Street, yet just one year later he moved away himself. A possible example with Melanie saying about Haz: "you think you know someone, but look at what Haz did?" Surely drug-dealing and covering up a young woman's death are at least equally severe crimes as creating deepfakes and IT fraud, right Mel?

Neighbours / int_d5687477	type	Estranged Soap Family
Neighbours / int_d5687477	comment	Estranged Soap Family: Rare in this series, but there are a handful of characters who have not shown up for a while, despite both the importance of events and the teasing of the PR. This is usually the result of actors becoming major stars and not wanting to come back. One of the worst examples was Madge Bishop's funeral in 2001, which neither her children (played by Craig Mc Lachlan and Kylie Minogue) nor her brothers turned up for. (Max would have been impossible without recasting, as Francis Bell had died in 1994, though Tom, played by Gary Files, notably would reappear in 2015). To a lesser extent, this was also true of Julie Martin's funeral in 1994 and Helen Daniels' funeral in 1997. Although on both occasions Rosemary Daniels and Michael Martin showed up, a whole host of other relatives didn't. Ringo Brown's official funeral in 2010 took place off screen, with viewers only seeing a private memorial service held by his wife and friends, in order to avoid bringing back any of his blood relatives. Even Scott and Charlene's wedding itself has elements of this. While Max and Maria Ramsay, Rosemary Daniels and Clive Gibbons all send telegrams, other once-prominent characters such as Danny, Shane and Tom Ramsay and Julie Robinson-Martin aren't heard from at all. Other funerals also had elements of this: Bridget Parker's funeral in 2009 saw no mention of her brother Riley, uncle Ned or cousin Mickey; Kate Ramsay's funeral in 2014 saw no sign of her brother Harry. More recently, David Tanaka's funeral saw not even a mention of his mother Kim, and nor did any of Aaron's siblings come along to support him. (Chloe was mentioned as unable to attend due to flights being cancelled, but there was no mention at all of Tyler or Mark).

In 2017, it was revealed the father was actually Paul, a character she seemed to have a barely passing acquaintance with. And her father was retconned as her stepfather and her as half-Japanese, in an attempt to explain why two white characters have Japanese children, despite the fact that the big reveal of the original storyline was that her mother had a daughter out of wedlock who wasn't Kim. And Brad is inexplicably given a Race Lift and turned into her on-off boyfriend. The Kim of 1985 was so shy, inexperienced and repressed that she had to pretend to go to the library just to meet Scott for a milkshake: The idea that three months earlier she was going to uni parties and sleeping with not one but two older men was absurd. Likewise, the show seemed to lampshade this in the same conversation between Paul and Shane.

Neighbours / int_dc579c91	comment	Contrived Coincidence: Leaving aside the circumstances of his surviving being washed out to sea, Harold's return to the show required him to be assigned to work in a Salvation Army shop in Erinsborough, and then be brought back to No. 24 Ramsay Street by a customer, Marlene Kratz, where he was recognised by Helen Daniels - while still suffering from amnesia and having no idea that he lived there before. The retconned backstory of Dee Bliss and Andrea Somers has created a string of rather massive ones. To put it chronologically: In 1979, Heather Schilling gives birth to twin girls at a women's shelter in Perth. The nuns who helped her decide that she's in no condition to look after both babies and arrange for one to be illegally adopted by John and Magda Bliss, who name her Dione. Heather blocks out all memory of the second baby and raises Andrea to the best of her abilities. Years later, Andrea briefly dates a member of the Zantuck crime family and unwittingly ends up on a hitlist. In 2003, shortly before Dee's wedding to Toadie, her adoptive sister Cecile is dating Riley Cooper, who also has connections to the Zantucks. When Dee is seen by Riley's boss and mistaken for Andrea, they send someone to the wedding and attempt to kill Dee by sabotaging both the limousine and the car that they actually ended up taking (despite having no way of knowing Stuart or Connor would offer it to them). After the "accident", Riley rescued Dee without being noticed and went into hiding with her. Years later, after the Zantucks had been arrested with Riley's help, Dee decided not to interfere with Toadie's new relationship with Sonya and started a new life as "Karen." In 2016, Toadie's former girlfriend Sindi Watts ran into Andrea while traveling through Western Australia and was amazed by her resemblance to Dee. Andrea latched onto this and put together a scheme to impersonate Dee and get her hands on her inheritance from Dee's adoptive parents. With the reluctant help of Sindi, she managed to convince Toadie and others she was Dee, and while there was no inheritance left, she managed to scam thousands of dollars from him and Sonya before disappearing. Sometime later in Hobart, she ran into a man named Ian who mistook her for "Karen", raising the possibility that Dee really was still alive, and when Toadie's family found out about this they attempted to track him down, leading to Dee's return. Beth Brennan's involvement in the 2022 season finale, since it's fairly clear that the producers wanted to bring back Natalie Imbruglia because of her real-world fame but had to work around the fact that Beth had almost no connection to the then-current residents of Ramsay Street (she did know Paul, however briefly, but by this point he's been in the Lassiters penthouse for a while. She also would have met Terese offscreen, but it's doubtful they were ever friends given her role in breaking up her marriage to Brad. Ironically her son Ned had been living in the street until a matter of weeks earlier, and also returned for the finale). The sequence is triggered by Karl posting one of his songs on a recently-created Facebook page dedicated to Ramsay Street. Beth, despite never having met Karl, happens to be watching it within earshot of Felicity Scully, who recognises Karl's voice. (Note that Flick was last stated to be living and working in Los Angeles, while Beth was last mentioned to be in Perth.) The two start talking and realise they both lived in the same house at different times. Later, when Flick records a message for Toadie to congratulate him on his wedding, she involves Beth in it, even though (as Beth herself points out) she had never met Toadie or Melanie.

Not to mention the various attempts on Paul Robinson's life. He has been pushed off a cliff (twice), lost a leg, sent poisoned letters, almost strangled to death, shot in the chest by his own son, kidnapped and mind-tortured, suffered from a life-threatening brain tumor, and pushed off the mezzanine of a building. Even he has expressed surprise over not being dead yet. And the climax of the very first season back in 1985 involved him being shot by his first wife. Furthermore, in the second season he survived a car crash, along with his brother Scott and friend Mike Young (Guy Pearce). Another example is Harold Bishop. He had a heart attack, and ironically when on holiday celebrating his recovery with wife Madge he was washed out to sea by a wave, picked up by a trawler and ended up in Tasmania. He returned five years later with amnesia, and since then he has endured a stroke, another heart attack and prostate cancer. Mrs Mangel in the two years she was in the programme endured appendicitis, a heart attack and a fall. She also had an even worse heart attack a year after leaving the programme when she had moved to England, meaning her granddaughter Jane had to move to England to look after her.

While both Andrew and Wendy are disappointed in her. they acknowledge that they haven't set her a good example given that Wendy had asked her to take photos of Cara's resume and Andrew had gone behind Wendy's back with Philippa years ago. This, along with Sadie being an adult by now (and possibly also the fact that she did the right thing in the end by exposing Paul's collusion with Eden Shaw), convinces them not to punish her.

Also subverted in 2021, when Sheila Canning met another Sheila Canning, after accidentally receiving her mail for a few weeks.

Neighbours / int_ee9877ea	type	Too Good for This Sinful Earth
Neighbours / int_ee9877ea	comment	Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Arguably how Helen Daniels and Harold Bishop have been seen - particularly in the eyes of the extraordinarily sinful Paul Robinson. In the former's case, Paul would always listen to Helen and could absolutely never harm her, however nasty and vindictive he might be to everyone else. In the latter's case, Paul refused to bring charges against Harold when he strangled him, feeling that he largely brought it upon himself. More recently, in Harold's guest appearance in 2015 when he crashed his van into the Erinsborough Festival, Paul refused to directly blame Harold and instead took out his anger on Matt Turner for the police not organising sufficient security around it.

Neighbours / int_f27ec906	comment	Dee Bliss was never found after Toadie accidentally drove their car into the ocean on their wedding day. In January 2017, she seemingly returned, with a â€¦relatively plausible story of what happened to her after the accident (compared to Harold's, for example), though not everyone was convinced. And then she was revealed to be an Identical Stranger by the name of Andrea. As of July 2019, the real Dee has returned, with a significantly less credible explanation than Andrea came up with, involving her hiding from an organised crime family that had put her on a hitlist thanks to a case of mistaken identity which was apparently set off by Andrea in the first place, but which Dee's sister Cecile and her boyfriend Riley had found out about and went into hiding with her.

It's treated as her Dark Secret, coming up once every ten years or so. Stephanie was falsely accused of this after her grandfather's death from emphysema, thanks to her mother and uncle walking in on her holding what looked like a Vorpal Pillow moments after it happened. She was charged with assisted suicide and convicted, but received a suspended sentence that she was later able to overturn on appeal. When Lyn admitted to suspecting her, Susan spoke up in her defence, confessing her own experience, which Lyn, a Catholic, did not take well.

Connor O'Neill was thought to have been murdered by Robert Robinson after his sudden disappearance in 2006, but he was later hinted repeatedly to be alive, ultimately returning in the flesh for a guest stint in 2012.

Will Grigg's (AKA Sebastian Barnes) never-before-mentioned brother Oliver, likewise hastily written in to replace Will when actor Christian Clarke left the show earlier than expected. Dane Canning filled in for his cousin Kyle when Chris Milligan broke his leg. Connor O'Neill for Lance Wilkinson, something that Lance himself was rather put out by when he returned in 2005. Dan Fitzgerald for Pepper Steiger in the Ringo anorexia storyline. In some ways, Cheryl Stark was this for Madge Bishop - a feisty, no-nonsense woman who became Lou's love interest. It is more than a little ironic that Madge was reintroduced to the programme just weeks after Cheryl's death.

Neighbours / int_faa71569	type	Romantic False Lead
Neighbours / int_faa71569	comment	Samantha Fitzgerald, during her 2008 guest stint, was a fairly sympathetic Romantic False Lead to Dan and Libby, trying to make her marriage work despite her struggle with bipolar disorder, and came across as a Graceful Loser when the relationship did end. She was also an ethical attorney who had no trouble working with Toadie. Two years later, after Libby and Dan had broken up, Sam returns and has taken on the job of prosecuting Stephanie, who had also been involved with Dan and had a baby with him, for culpable driving, ignoring the obvious conflict of interest (though even here she didn't look too bad given that Steph was guilty of causing Ringo's death and Libby was willing to perjure herself for her). When she returns in 2020, she's still holding a grudge over Dan leaving her and blaming the Kennedys for it, to the point of getting involved in Claudia Watkins' custody suit against them after Susan's niece Elly is arrested for murder and helping her blackmail a judge to ensure that Elly ends up in prison despite the DPP's recommendation. When Toadie finds out that she was behind the blackmail, he calls her a disgrace to the profession.
