[edit] Seasons

[edit] 1980s

1985: 1985 was the first year Neighbours aired, and was the only season to be shown on the Seven Network. 1985 focussed mainly on the Robinson and Ramsay families, as well as a few other residents such as Des Clarke and Daphne Lawrence. Some notable storylines in this year were Maria Ramsay revealing to her husband Max that Danny was not his real son, and Paul Robinson's wife Terri murdering Charles Durham, and then shooting Paul. There were no character arrivals in 1985, but Maria Ramsay and Julie Robinson left the show about halfway through the season.

1986: After the Seven Network axed Neighbours in 1985, Network Ten picked the series. Some major changes were made at the start of 1986 to revitalise the show. Darius Perkins, who played Scott Robinson, was recast with Jason Donovan, and new characters like Madge Ramsay, Charlene Mitchell, Clive Gibbons and Mike Young were added. Des and Daphne married, and later on Mrs. Mangel and Jane Harris arrived.

1987: The most memorable moment of 1987 among most fans is generally considered be the wedding of Scott Robinson and Charlene Mitchell. 1987 was also the arrival of Harold Bishop, one of Neighbours' most famous characters, as well as Daphne Clark giving birth to her son Jamie. Other arrivals to the show in 1987 were Gail Lewis, Henry Ramsay and the return of Lucy Robinson (now played by Sasha Close), as well as the departures of Clive Gibbons and Shane Ramsay.

1988: 1988 had the first death of a major cast member, when Daphne Clarke died of a car accident and uttered the words "I love you too Clarkey" to her husband Des. Harold and Madge finally married as well, in a wedding that deeply angered Mrs. Mangel. Some major character arrivals this year were Bronwyn Davies, Sharon Davies, Todd Landers, Katie Landers, Nick Page and Joe Mangel, and it also saw the departure of Charlene Mitchell.

1989: This season started off with Joe Mangel ex-wife Noelene arriving to claim custody of his son Toby, but after a fierce battle Joe got custody of him. Harold's daughter Kerry Bishop and her daughter Sky arrived, and Joe Mangel and Kerry were married. Scott Robinson left to be with Charlene, and Todd Landers cheated on his girlfriend Melissa with new girl Cody Willis.

[edit] 1990s

1990: 1990 saw the death of Kerry Bishop in a duck hunting accident, as well as the arrival of the rest of the Willis family. 1990 had massive cast changes throughout the year, with the arrival of Caroline Alessi, Christina Alessi, Josh Anderson, Dorothy Burke, Glen Donnelly, Ryan McLachlan and the Willises, as well as the departures of Kerry Bishop, Des Clarke, Bronwyn Davies, Sharon Davies and Beverly Robinson.

1991: In 1991 Paul Robinson became married to his third wife, Christina Alessi, and they had a child named Andrew. Dorothy Burke's husband Colin Burke arrives, but cheats on her with Rosemary Daniels. Adam Willis and Cody Willis both left, and were then replaced by their older siblings Gaby and Brad. Joe, Melanie and Sky Mangel left as well. Harold Bishop also disappeared and was presumed dead, and shortly after Lou Carpenter arrived to move in on Madge.

1992: This year saw the death of Todd Landers after he was hit by a van while trying to stop his girlfriend Pheobe from having an abortion. New families the Martins and the Allesis arrived in Erinborough as well, as well as the departure of Paul Robinson on fraud charges.

1993: 1993 is thought of by a lot of fans as one of the darkest and most dramatic seasons of Neighbours. Michael Martin tries to make his step-mother Julie's life a living hell, including drugging her and almost drowning her, and is then sent off to a detention centre. Long running character Jim Robinson died of a heart attack, and his girlfriend Fiona Hartman then stole all his money and fled Erinsborough.

1994: The Willis family left in 1994, and were replaced by the Kennedy family. Julie Robinson also died from falling off a tower at the "Murder Mystery Weekend". In the season finale Mark Gottlieb jilted Annalise Hartman at the altar and announced he had decided to become a priest.

1995: 1995 was a departure from a lot of the previous seasons of Neighbours, with the season focussing mainly on comedy. Unfortunately, many fans and critics alike began turning off. The season had many memorable moments, including storylines where Colin Taylor's identical twin brother was gay, Mark Gotleib becoming highly religious and Susan Kennedy confessing to Brett Stark that she performed euthanasia on her mother.

1996: Many fans herald 1996 as a new beginning for Neighbours, with the departures of many long-running characters and the return of Harold Bishop, who was presumed dead, and his wife Madge. 1996 also saw the arrival of the Wilkinson family, and the deaths of Cody Willis and Cheryl Stark.

1997: 1997 saw the death of Helen Daniels and the departure of many popular characters. Ruth Wilkinson's son Ben Atkins had a crash in the season finale, and Karl Kennedy cheated on Susan with Sarah Beaumont.

1998: The most memorable moment of 1998 is considered by many fans to be when Susan Kennedy found out about Karl's affair and slapped him. 1998 was also the arrival of Joel Samuels and Drew Kirk, and the departure of the Atkins family.

1999: 1999 saw the departure of one of the most long running families, the Martin family, who were replaced by the Scully Family. Sarah Beaumont also married Peter Hannay and left Erinsborough, and the season ended with a Millennium Party where the Scully House caught on fire.

[edit] 2000s

2000: 2000 had some of the least amount of cast changes in the whole series, with the only arrivals being Dione Bliss and Darcy Tyler, and the only departures being Amy Greenwood, Bill Kennedy and Anne Wilkinson. Tad discovered he was adopted, and found his real mother just before she died. A mess up in the schedule meant the proper season finale (involving Joe Scully being caught in a fire) was aired two weeks beforehand, and the season finale ended up being a normal, mediocre episode.

2001: Another new family arrived this season, the Hancocks, and Madge Bishop died of pancreatic cancer. Lance Wilkinson found love and left Erinsborough. Libby Kennedy became pregnant, and gave birth to her baby in the season finale.

2002: The Hancock family left after being in the show for less than a year, and were shortly replaced by the Hoyland family. Steph Scully got engaged to Marc Lambert, but he cheated on her with her sister Flick, and then stood her up at the altar. There was also a long-running storyline involving Susan Kennedy's battle with amnesia. 2002 saw many cast changes, with the arrivals of Taj Coppin, Boyd Hoyland, Max Hoyland, Rosie Hoyland, Summer Hoyland, Lori Lee, Connor O'Neill, Stuart Parker, Jack Scully and Nina Tucker, and the departures of Elly Conway, Emily Hancock, Evan Hancock, Leo Hancock, Maggie Hancock, Matthew Hancock, Drew Kirk, Tad Reeves, Joel Samuels and Felicity Scully.

2003: 2003 would be most remembered for the death of Dee Bliss on her and Toadie's wedding day. Darcy Tyler was also arrested for robbing the Kennedys, Jack Scully and Nina Tucker had an affair, and Lyn Scully gave birth to her fifth child, Oscar. At the end of this season the Bishop family arrived, as well as the return of Sky Mangel. Also an included storyline is Harold Bishop having a stroke.

2004: 2004 is considered by many to be one of Neighbours' best seasons, with many solid storylines and lots of guest stints by past characters, such as Darcy Tyler, Darren Stark, Michelle Scully, Nina Tucker and Mal Kennedy. Libby also returned to the main cast, but then left about six months afterwards. 2004 also had very few cast changes, with the only new characters being Scott "Stingray" Timmins, Sindi Watts and Lana Crawford, and the only departures being Joe Scully, Taj Coppin and Jack Scully.

2005: 2005 was the 20th Anniversary year of Neighbours with many returning faces including Paul Robinson, Joe Mangel, Annalise Hartman, Doug Willis, Philip Martin, Lance Wilkinson and Rosemary Daniels plus a host of former Ramsay Street residents. The main arrivals this year were Dylan, Janelle, Janae and Bree Timmins. It also saw Lana Crawford return to Canada. This year will be mostly remembered for dramatic storylines such as Paul Robinson losing his leg and the plane crash which killed David, Liljana and Serena Bishop. See Neighbours Plane Crash

2006: 2006 has promised to be one of the most dramatic years. It marked the return of Steph's breast cancer in the middle of her long desired pregnancy. It also marked the return of Paul's 'evil' son Robert disguising as his brother Cameron. Robert is the person who put the bomb on the plane and the one who blackmailed Izzy.
