I was wondering if anyone knows (or knows where I can find out) the ages of characters in Neighbours?
I can remember Steph having a party with bikers at it for her 21st a couple of years ago, I can remember Libby having a 21st, but I don't remember Toadie having a party or anything.
Can anyone shed any light on this?

Toadie is 24 - he had his 18th birthday in 1998. I guess in 2001 they forgot to have a 21st for him.

Susan is approximately 48.

And...
Spoiler


Steph should be 25
Libby about 25 or 26.

Yup, we had that episode. Susan was telling Tom how herself and Karl always planned to do something crazy before the big five-oh and she didn't know what to do now they were split up.
Carla Bonner really does not look her age at all.
Do a lot of people in Australia or New Zealand get married in their early twenties? In Neighbours we've had Toadie married to Dee, Libby married and widowed and Steph now after having a second wedding.

Not really...in Australia and New Zealand people mostly just live together for a few years and don't really get married until their late 20s, early 30s.

I guess you have to remember that Neighbours is a soap with many of its characters in their early twenties, and if theres one thing that brings ratings for a soap, its weddings! So thats what accounts for so many characters getting married in their early twenties.

Well we can all be sure that Karl and Izzy's wedding is going to be explosive viewing - lol !!

On a more stupid note: Steph's uncle is going out with Susan and Steph's sister-in-law is going out with Karl - strange or what.

No stranger than in Eastenders were most characters have intermarried, divorced and then married other residents and therefore have relationships to each other that no-one can really work out as it's so complicated.

It's full circle really
Dennis goes out with Zoe whose mother is Kat whose husband is Alfie whose brother is Spencer who impregnated Vicki whose brother is Dennis.

That actually makes spencer Zoe's uncle. I guess if vicki had married spencer and if zoe did marry dennis, vicki would be dennis's step auntie.

Oi this is a Neighbours thread, and I have no idea who all these Eastenders people are

Neighbours always has been a bit funny with ages... Jack's age seems to be constantly changing. I'm certain he went off to play football when he was 19 but returned to school once he came back to Erinsborough pretending to be a different age

Yeah...I think they changed his age and said that he was younger (perhaps 17) when he went off to play Football (therefore not doing his last year at school), so that it would be plausible for him to go to school with the teen gang of 2003. But even so, that still made him about 4 years older than Nina, Taj etc...coz if we go with that logic...he'd be 22 or 23 now! (coz he would have left home in 1999 coz thats the year that the Scully's arrived)...he couldn't be any younger than that unless he went to school in England, otherwise his age would clash with Felicity's (who would be 21) or he would have been to young to leave school.
