Neighbours is a long-running Australian television soap opera first broadcast on the Seven Network on 18 March 1985, and due to end in 2022. It was created by TV executive Reg Watson, who proposed the idea of making a show that focused on realistic stories and portrayed adults and teenagers who talk openly and solve their problems together. The series primarily centres on the residents of Ramsay Street, a short cul-de-sac in the equally fictitious suburb of Erinsborough. Neighbours began with three families: the Ramsays, the Robinsons and the Clarkes. When storylines for certain characters become tired, the scriptwriters simply move one family out and replace it with a new one. Ramsay Street is now a mixture of older characters and newer characters. The following is a list of characters and cast members who are currently appearing in the show or who are upcoming, returning and departing (prior to the series' conclusion). Where more than one actor has portrayed a character, the current actor is listed first.
