Neighbours will have three new regulars this year-

Daniel Robinson
Paige Novak
Ben Fitzgerald

However Number 24 needs beefing up as only Brennan lives there.

My suggestion would be-

Move Chris into Number 24 and bring in Kyle's Dad and Sheila's Son, both Kyle and Sheila have an estranged relationship with him. I would call him Patrick and he was only 18 when Kyle was born so that makes him about 40 in the show- he missed out on Kyle growing up but blames his Mum and Kyle's Mum Sharon- Naomi will be pleased to see her big brother- I would cast former H & A Actor Tim Campbell in the role.

I would also cast Ned Willis and move him into Number 24 plus a female ethnic character who could also live at Number 24.

Ben may not be a regular... He may be a recurring character,

Piper Willis is due to make an arrival to Ramsay Street very soon. I don't think we need any more characters. If I had to axe characters, I would axe Chris. He is really pointless now. Replace Chris with another gay character.

I dont think Chris is pointless but Ned could be a love interest for him- Chris needs a regular character as a boyfriend rather than a stream of guests characters.

I am hoping Ben is a regular but I would imagine Piper is her way back soon.

Has it been confirmed if Paige is Brad and Lauren's Daughter?

No need for Madison yet but agreed Chris is a great character.

True, but Guests sometimes progress to regular

Shiela and Kyle were both guests to start with - as was Sonya

Leave Chris alone, Sarah! He clicks with any character he's in scenes with (a bit like the Kennedys), and that's quite rare for a character. He's a keeper for as long as James Mason stays.

Besides, what would make a new gay character any less pointless? Chris has a (recurring) family, friends, career, and a life outside of his sexuality. All he needs is a regular love interest who is related to one of the other families.

That was 20 years ago...Neighbours have done well with Chris as a gay male regular but still need to go further and we dont know anything about Ned so it could be plausiable.

At least Neighbours recognises gay characters unlike H & A.

So true....although it's not like H&A have never shown that homosexuality does exist...


They just need to do more to make Summer Bay realistic.... Ramsey Street is getting there, although sacking The Kapoors was not a great way too go about things.....

remember The lIms, the Chinese family they once had and Julie Martin accused them of eating her pet dog?? OMG that was soooooo un-PC it's untrue.

I don't think Chris is pointless either, he's one of my favourites on Neighbours. I'd so love for him to get a steady boyfriend, it's something I've hoping for since he split up with Aidan. It'd be great to see a gay couple as regulars and I'd like to see more of Chris' parents too.

agreed but remember on another note Josie has two Mums but they were never really brought into the show.

Australia is more Conservative than the UK when it comes to gay characters on TV.

I didn't remember him being called Ned. Wasn't there a Ned before who was an arse? There were years I didn't watch but I seem to remember that. Out of all the names in the world they could have come up with something other.

Ned currently lives in Sydney, I don't know where Beth lives now although Doug did mention that they still see her.
