Daniel Robinson is an interesting character and quite refreshing - and he is played by an Actor who can actually act.

I like the fact that he is a bit of a hippy and that he has a bit of depth to him too...

    Not a well responded thread so far- I am guessing people on here who watch Neighbours don't have an opinion on him yet.

    I think he's great. You can definitely see the spirit of Scott and Charlene about him. Love hearing all the little bits he mentions about them, such as Scott is still a journalist, how he used to skateboard down the street etc. Has he said whether Charlene is still a mechanic? He really brings the feel of how Neighbours used to be to the show, before it was all shootouts and woe.

    Lookswise he really reminds me of Andrew Robinson. I just hope they aren't going to lumber him with dreary Imogen.

    I love him. He is the best thing that has happened to Neighbours in a long while. He really can act and he is good looking to boot. I hope he stays for a long time to come. The best thing about him is that you really can believe that he is the son of Scott and Charlene. If Neighbours cast every character in the same way, I think the show would be a lot better.

    Don't think it's that most the soap threads have been very quite all this week for some reason. As I type this there's currently only seems to be 3 threads on the first page with over 200 posts.

    No they are not!! Imogen and Bailey get together when she helps him work through his upcoming drinking storyline

    So do I Beesy. Although my heart did sink a bit when Imogen took an instant dislike to Daniel when he first arrived. Wedding bells by the 30th anniversary methinks.
    I liked Daniel instantly. The casting dept did a great job of finding someone who looks like both Scott and Charlene at the same age. He`s not a bad actor either.

    Where have you heard that? I hope this doesn't happen as Bailey and Imogen are just wrong for each other IMO.

    I love Daniel - he's such an interesting character and I really like his hippie personality. Daniel is very popular on FB and twitter.

    Liking him so far, seems to be heading for a love triangle between Daniel, Amber & Imogen, at least thats the feeling I get.

    Yes he can act, but so can most of the cast, bar Matt & Josh, who are wooden actors.

    I agree with your post. I don't think Amber is a good actress as well.

    Oh me too. If they think they can be the next Scott and Charlene, they are mistaken. There is no way Imogen could even be in the same league as Charlene.

    Ewwwww :o. That's just not nice.

    Daniel mentioned his mum fixing the car while he was skateboarding. I like him. He's like his Dad in hippy form.

    Agreed wholeheartedly Beesy, Just as I instantly liked Daniel at his first appearance - I took a dislike to Imogen when she first appeared. She was just too much of a smart ar$e for my liking, And time hasn`t changed my opinion.
    I did like Charlene when she first appeared - and Jason Donovan`s Scott. Was never keen on Darius Perkins portrayal of Scott Robinson. He seemed too bland. Jason Donovan was a breath of fresh air.

    Neighbours should try and get Jason Donovan back for a couple episodes when the 30th anniversary airs however I cannot see Kylie returning.

    Paul/Scott/Daniel/Lucy for the 30th! Heck, maybe even Rosemary too.

    I do like Daniel, but in the scenes he's shared with Amber where they appear to be bonding over photography, I couldn't help thinking how they look like brother and sister. Very similar eye colour, shape and smiles. Hope these two don't get together, or we'll have another Callum/Josie situation, where it just looks wrong! :blush:

    There could be a love triangle on the way but I have a feeling Josh is going to fall for Paige but they are actually half brother and sister.

    Imogen is like the worst parts of Summer, Libby and Kate all rolled into one with her know it all nose poking ways. Since Kates demise she seems to be worse. Can't say I am too fond of Amber either but she is better than Imogen.

    Barely remember Darius as Scott, Jason is the one I remember. I remember at primary school we used to 'play' Neighbours every break time. Used to end up with loads of Scott and Charlenes, I used to end up being Jane most of the time though because I wore glasses.

    I loved old Neighbours with Scott, Charlene, Mike and Plain Jane Superbrain!

    That`s a great story Beesy. In 1989 I was getting married, so I never got to see much of Neighbours because I was working 14 hour shifts (including weekends) to help pay for the wedding. My Mother recorded Corrie for me, and that`s all I watched at the time.
    Now thanks to technology I`m watching the old Neighbours eps again and loving them even more the second time around.
    I try not to compare the old Neighbours compared to the present ones, but the old ones had a much better grasp on community spirit than the present ones do. I do enjoy the 2014 ones though. I`d like them even more if Imogen and Josh weren`t in it.
