He's a pretty deep thinker so he reads her natural friendliness as something more than what it is."[36] Noah takes Kate's friendly gestures the wrong way and Pledger added Noah sees an opportunity to act on his feelings and the consequences are drastic.[38][36] Of Noah, Dianne Butler of the Herald Sun said "I love a stalker as much as the next girl, and the way he told those others he had a "present for his girlfriend" and, I don't know, that beanie ... pull it down and cut eye holes in it and suddenly Erinsborough's got a rapist/killer/kidnapper/pervert of whatever threat level."[40] Butler also thought Noah may spend the next four years growing dreadlocks as he seems to have bought the hat to accommodate them.[40]
Noah begins his first day of Erinsborough High and is introduced to his class by Michael Williams (Sandy Winton). During a Maths lesson, Natasha Williams (Valentina Novakovic) tries to get Noah's attention, but he just shows her a cartoon he has been drawing of their teacher. Natasha compliments it, but Noah does not say anything and throws it in the bin when the class ends. Sophie Ramsay (Kaiya Jones) finds Noah playing the guitar and she asks him about the piece he is playing. Noah tells her it does not have a name and that he wrote it. Noah finds Sophie practising the guitar and he gives her some tips on the chords. Noah offers to tune Sophie's guitar and he lets her play his one. He tells her he has been playing the guitar since he was seven and that his parents support him. Sophie's sister, Kate, introduces herself to Noah and thanks him for helping Sophie out. She later asks Noah if he will give Sophie some guitar lessons. During a practice session, Noah and Sophie manage to blow an outlet and the whole street loses power. Noah gives Sophie a journal, so she can write down some songs and he goes to Harold's Store. Kate praises Noah's sketches and he asks her to tutor him in history. Sophie organises a gig for Noah at the Men's Shed and Kate tells him that Sophie has a crush on him. Noah gets involved in the local History Wall project, which is being overseen by Kate.

Noah finds an upset Kate at the History Wall and he is delighted when she kisses him. Kate later tells Noah the kiss was a mistake. Noah sends Kate a drawing and Kate tells him to back off.

Noah spots Kate putting something in his guitar case and he tells Natasha and Chris the gift is from his girlfriend.
Aidan Foster
Aidan Foster Neighbours character Portrayed by Bobby Morley Introduced by Susan Bower Duration 2011– First appearance 19 August 2011 Classification Current, recurring Profile Occupation Nurse Aidan Foster, played by former Home and Away actor Bobby Morley, made his first on-screen appearance on 19 August 2011.[41] Aidan was introduced as a love interest for Chris Pappas (James Mason).[42] The casting and character was announced on 18 June 2011. Morley has a six month contract with Neighbours, but it could be extended.[42]
Aidan is a male nurse and he and Chris will form the show's first gay couple.[42] Of his Aidan, Morley told the Herald Sun, "I don't see it as a big deal that the character is gay. It certainly doesn't define him and what the writers have planned is really interesting and authentic."[42] Morley added that the fact his character is gay did not make a different to him joining Neighbours.[42] Executive producer Susan Bower said the storyline was a "natural progression" for Chris and that at some stage he needed to meet someone.[42] She added viewers will find the storyline compelling.[42] Bower later told Digital Spy that Chris and Aidan's romance will be handled in a sensitive way and it may not be a full-on relationship.[43] She explained, "The character that Bob is playing is older and further down the track with his relationship testing, so it will be a relationship story rather than a gay male romance."[43] Bower also added that she had seen some letters from viewers who are not happy with the upcoming storyline and she mentioned one letter surprised her when it mentioned Aidan's job was a cliché.[43]
In November 2011, Anthony D. Langford of AfterElton said he liked Aidan from the scenes he had seen.[44] Langford thought Aidan seemed like "a funny, interesting guy" and he was pleased with how Neighbours handled the reveal that he was gay, saying "I'm so glad they didn't drag it out and keep it like it was some big secret, but revealed it matter of fact and with some humor. But then, Aiden is already out and clearly comfortable with himself and the show has already done the coming out drama with Chris, so there's no need to repeat it."[44] Langford went on to say he was looking forward to Aidan interacting with Chris, but thought he seemed a little too old for the teenager.[44]
Michael Williams (Sandy Winton) asks Aidan how his daughter, Natasha (Valentina Novakovic), is after her accident. Aidan tells him Natasha is fine, but she had a big knock to her head, which she will be feeling for a while. He praises her friends for knowing CPR. Aidan catches Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne) trying to take Jim Dolan (Scott Parmeter) out of the hospital and he tells her Jim is far too sick to leave his bed. Susan tells Aidan that Jim would like some fresh air and Aidan helps Jim into a wheelchair. Aidan attends a barbeque at his colleague, Rhys Lawson's (Ben Barber) house. He meets and befriends Jade Mitchell (Gemma Pranita).
Martin Chambers
Martin Chambers Neighbours character Portrayed by John Wood Introduced by Susan Bower Duration 2011– First appearance 1 September 2011 Classification Current, recurring Profile Occupation Head of Surgery at Erinsborough Hospital Martin Chambers, played by John Wood, made his first on-screen appearance on 1 September 2011.[45][46] The character and casting was announced on 3 June 2011 and Wood began filming his first scenes later that month.[45][47] When asked how he felt about joining Neighbours, Wood revealed that he had not been expecting it, but it had been a pleasant surprise.[47] He told the Herald Sun, he accepted the small continuing role of Martin, as it sounded good and he had not been on commercial television for a long time or on Neighbours before.[48] He explained, "A day a week, that is not going to kill me and it reminds everyone I am still alive."[48] Executive producer Susan Bower said she was "thrilled" to welcome Wood to the cast and said his storyline would be "great."[45]
Of Martin, Wood told TV Week: "He's the head of surgery at Erinsborough Hospital. He's very focused and ambitious and doesn't suffer fools – so he could be a good bloke or a villain, depending on what he thinks of you."[49] The actor later told the official UK Neighbours website that Martin is intimidating, has strong opinions and is not easily swayed.[47] Digital Spy reported that Martin is strict and has a reputation for taking his work very seriously.[45] Wood revealed that he is not good with blood or other people's health problems, but hoped to be able to act around it. He also expected the medical jargon to include some "challenging pronunciations."[47] Script producer, Emma Gordon, told the The West Australian that viewers can expect a different side to Wood, saying "John was a bit worried when he came in and asked if he actually had to do any surgery but I told him most of his stories take place on the golf course or in the bar. We certainly keep that sense of larrikin about him, even though he is very senior, and all the things that people love about John he won't help but bring to the character."[50] Martin will join Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher) and Rhys Lawson (Ben Barber), who is just settling in at the hospital. During an interview with TV Week, Wood said Martin has known Karl for a long time, but he has never been seen before. Wood said "Presumably he's been beavering away in the hospital and has finally come up for air."[51] Wood said the three doctors initially get along, but that does not last long and the story starts to become interesting.[45][47] Wood explained "Rhys has an agenda which involves my character. Karl Kennedy also gets involved, and he and Chambers don't see eye to eye on some issues mainly involving Rhys so plenty of conflict."[47] Rhys tries to get into Martin's good books in order to become a surgeon and this makes Karl feel like he is being sidelined.[51] Wood explained Martin's main reason for being in Neighbours is to be a catalyst between Karl and Rhys. The actor added "I suspect that Rhys is going to show Dr Chambers up by saving someone that Martin is losing on the operating table."[51]
Martin arranges a round of golf with Adrian Pearce (Christopher Waters) and Karl Kennedy. Karl invites Rhys Lawson along and he introduces him to Martin. Martin is impressed with Rhys's golfing ability and Rhys reveals he is a fan. Martin tells Rhys they can talk about his early work sometime off course. Martin chats to Karl about his wife, Susan (Jackie Woodburne), and their upcoming holiday. Martin questions Rhys on where he is going in the hospital and Rhys reveals he wants to become a surgeon.

The character has been described as being "less than diplomatic" and Bertram had to perfect a distinct Polish accent for the part.[52] Of playing her character, Bertram said "She certainly isn't like any of the characters I've played before and the accent was fun."[52] Cameron Adams of the Herald Sun believed Lorraine's accent sounded Russian and fake.[53] He added "not sure why Paul hasn't had a cleaner before now, and hopefully the writers have something in mind here because it all seems a little too random. But in between all her laid-on-thick accent work, she gives Paul some knowledge to use as fuel in his goal to fight City Hall -- or at least a planned new shopping centre to which he objects."[53]
Rhys Lawson (Ben Barber) hires Lorraine to clean Number 26 and he recommends her services to Paul Robinson. Lorraine meets with Paul at Charlie's bar to discuss his cleaning needs. Paul puts Lorraine's discretion to the test and she tells him she is not nosey. Paul then hires Lorraine.

Jade then sacks Lorraine. When Lorraine goes to the Erinsborough News office to fetch Paul's house keys, she reveals she also cleans for Ajay Kapoor (Sachin Joab). Paul takes Lorraine for coffee and tells her he wants to give her a new job as a reporter. He explains the council have been taking bribes to push through a new development and he suspects Ajay is involved. Lorraine tells Paul she will not spy on her employer, but Paul insists on giving her a phone with a camera. Ajay comes to the Erinsborough News office with Lorraine and gives Paul's phone back.

This worries Michael and he is scared about what Emilia will tell Natasha.[60] Stafford told TV Week there is a history between Emilia and Michael that makes it difficult for them to get along.[61] She explained "If they dredge up those memories, it'd open a huge can of worms - something they're both reluctant to do. There's an understanding that certain things should be kept until a later date - if not forever."[61] The actress added Emilia is happy when she meets Natasha again and she fills a hole in her life.[61]

The beauty of Neighbours is we're about families, so we can pull in a cousin or sibling in these very unusual situations."[64] Pegler wrapped his guest stint on 23 September 2011.[65]
Dane is Kyle Canning's (Milligan) cousin. He arrives in Ramsay Street to take over Kyle's room at Number 26, while Kyle visits his sick mother.[63] Of this, Daniel Kilkelly of Digital Spy reported, "Dane's sudden appearance will allow minimum disruption to scripts as he takes over Kyle's role in a plot that was already being filmed."[63] Dane's trademark hair style sees him sporting "striking blond tips."[66] Of his character's hair style, Pegler told Channel 5, "Yeah, they definitely scream, 'Look at me, dude!' which is not quite the attention I'm after."[65] Pegler said he would be making an appointment with a hairdresser to get rid of the blond tips and added he would not miss them.[65] Pegler explained Dane has "Canning DNA" and is just as oblivious to things around him as Kyle.[67] The actor added Dane would find himself in the middle of some awkward situations.[67]

Dane then speaks to Andrew Robinson (Jordan Smith) and asks him to talk to Paul, as he does not want Summer to get into trouble if the story is just a rumour. Andrew thanks Dane for giving Summer the story. Summer later goes to see Dane and asks him for the name of the guy he spoke to. Dane is initially reluctant to tell her, but eventually reveals the guy's name was Tony.
