When was the last time that Neighbours had a legendary character?
Neighbours has had many characters who just automatically become associated with its name because of viewer popularity.
Past Examples: Helen Daniels, Jim Robinson, Harold Bishop, Scott Robinson, Charlene Robinson, Libby Kennedy...
Current Examples: Karl Kennedy, Susan Kennedy, Lou Carpenter, Paul Robinson Toadfish Rebecchi (although his popularity somewhat declining due to him becoming quite boring) ...
Of course there are loads more examples.
When was the last time that Neighbours found a legendary character? Are there any who have recently joined the cast? And what makes you consider a character to be legendary?

I'd say Elle Robinson and Steph Scully were the last legendary female characters. They were strong females, independent, smart, with their own style and flare.
I think Chris is a legendary character. If for no other reason than b/c he's the show's first regular gay male. He's not defined by his sexuality, and he is a nice character.
I think Terese could be a legend, and Imogen has the potential, too. It just depends on how they're written for and how long they stick around. I think Neighbours has had several characters over the last 5 years that could have become legendary if they had stuck around for several years - Jade and Rebecca for example.
I don't think any of those, apart from maybe Steph are legendary!
So was Sarah Beaumont - come to think of it, which was a VERY surprising return IMO when she came back.
Donna, Elle, Jade, all could have been legendary if they'd stuck around.
Agree with what people are saying about Terese, I like her but she's getting a bit Rebecca-y at times.
Alf who? Your not thinking of Home and away are you?
Darcy
Drew?
Ultimate legend though is Harold. Oh I miss Harold.
Lyn Scully
Izzy Hoyland
Elle Robinson
Personally:
Sky Mangel
Janelle Timmins
Darcy is an interesting one. Although he made a good 'villain' of sorts his name isn't usually mentioned all that often. Though a few may personally consider him a legend I suppose. It would be great to see Mark Rafferty return for Karl and Susans 20th anniversary this year to play Darcy.
I wonder if any one out there would consider Kate Ramsay as a legend as she did make an impact? Even if many disliked her she still had enough of an impact to be talked about and given attention by viewers who both loved and loathed her.
