Poppy Rogers, played by Gabriella Darlington, made her first on-screen appearance on 22 September 2010.[40] Darlington was cast in the role via a competition run by British television channel Five, who broadcast Neighbours in the UK. The character has been described as a "free-spirited young woman" who met Malcolm Kennedy while backpacking around Europe. This back story was later changed.

In April 2010, it was announced that the Neighbours producers were looking for a female actress from the UK to play the role of Poppy Rogers.[41] The search was organised by British broadcaster Five, as part of the show's 25th anniversary celebrations.[42] Females aged 18 or over were invited to download an audition script and upload a video of themselves performing the script to YouTube.[42] In June 2010, the competition closed and Five announced that they had received over 1500 entries.[43] Five finalists were picked; Gabriella Darlington, Jennifer Hall, Jo Gleave, Miriam Locke-Wheaton and Olivia Kennett.[43] The public were then invited to vote for their favourite finalist, and it was announced that the top two would fly to Melbourne for live auditions.[43] Executive producer, Susan Bower said that during their time in Australia, the finalists would go through a camera test, wardrobe fitting, a tour around the studios and then another audition process.[44] Bower said "It's just like any other new cast member: they're oriented to the studio".[44] On 28 June 2010, Alan Fletcher (who plays Karl Kennedy) appeared on Live from Studio Five to announce that the two finalists were Darlington and Hall.[45][46] On 16 July 2010, it was announced that Darlington had been cast in the role of Poppy.[47] She began filming her scenes on the 19 July. Darlingtion said "I can't believe how lucky I am. I never expected to be shortlisted, let alone get to Australia and win. I have had an amazing week and am really excited to start on Monday".[47]

Poppy has been described as a "free-spirited young woman in her early 20s".[42] Poppy grew up in a small country village in England with her hippy parents and younger brother, Bohdi.[48] Her parents have raised both her and her brother to respect nature.[48] Holy Soap say Poppy "takes risks at every turn and always encourages others to live the same way. She's a vegetarian, believing that every animal has a right to live, and is vocal in her opinions, which are not necessarily grounded in reality but stem from a good heart".[48] She met and befriended Malcolm Kennedy (Benjamin McNair) and his wife Catherine (Radha Mitchell), while she was backpacking around Europe.[42] Bower has said that Poppy will bring "fun" and "mischief" to Ramsay Street.[49] On the character's storylines, Bower said "Obviously [she's a visitor] from the UK. Because of the perceived meddling in a storyline, [her] part in that storyline is misunderstood by a couple of the teens. That's all I can say."[44] Fletcher said the character of Poppy is "a little bit radical and different, which will make things quite difficult for Karl".[50] He added that Poppy changes the dynamic of the house because she is "a bit wild and wacky and that will have an unsettling effect on everyone".[50] He also called the character "attractive" and said that there will not be a shortage of would be suitors.[50] In July 2010, Holy Soap revealed more details of the character's arrival, they said "[Poppy] who, after hitting Erinsborough with her cousin Ruby, will make an impression on some of its finest bachelors".[51]

Darlington later revealed that Poppy's storyline had been changed and Poppy does not go to live with the Kennedy family and her cousin get the boy's attention instead.[52] Poppy has a lot of scenes with Valentina Novakovic (Natasha Williams), Sandy Winton (Michael Williams) and Yesse Spence (Ruby Rogers).[52] Following the end of her appearance in Australia, Winton praised Darlington, calling her "fantastic" and "a breath of fresh air."

Profile
Occupation Journalist

Eli Baker is played by Australian entertainer Don Lane's son, PJ Lane. He made his first on-screen appearance on 29 September 2010.[57] In July 2010, it was announced that Lane would be making a guest appearance on the show, in episodes that were to be shot in Sydney.[58] The episodes mark the first time in nearly ten years that the show has filmed in the city.[58] Of his part, Lane said "I play an ex-boyfriend, actually not just an ex, but a perfect ex-boyfriend, so my character is bound to cause a bit of jealously, it is going to be great fun. It is really good to be a part of Neighbours".[58] Lane originally auditioned for another role in May 2010, but was unsuccessful. Not long after, he was offered the role of Eli.[58]

The storyline, which sees Lane's character make his debut, revolves around Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) and Sonya Mitchell (Eve Morey) going on a holiday aboard a luxury cruise liner.[57] They run into Eli, who is Sonya's ex.[57] TV Week said "Meeting Eli brings out an inferiority complex in Toadie".[57] Moloney added "Toadie feels challenged by Eli's perfection, he is annoyed that someone can be so nice, so good-looking and so good at everything".[57]

Callum Jones (Morgan Baker) wins tickets for a cruise, but as he is underage he gives them to Toadfish Rebecchi and Sonya Mitchell. Toadie and Sonya are taking pictures of Sydney when a man comes over to join them. He turns out to be Sonya's ex-boyfriend Eli and she introduces the two guys to each other. Toadie explains to Eli that he is taking a cardboard cut out of Callum on the cruise, so he still feels he is there with them. Eli tells them that he is a journalist and is going on the cruise to write a story about it. Eli tells Toadie and Sonya that he is looking forward to hanging out with them. Toadie asks Sonya how long she dated Eli and she reveals that they dated for 6 months. Just as Toadie is setting up a picnic, Eli jogs past and invites Toadie to join him. Eli mentions that when he broke up with Sonya, he took up running and now runs a half marathon every day. Eli suggests that they run another lap, but Toadie declines. Sonya then tells him that she invited Eli to dinner. Toadie begins to feel left out when Eli and Sonya start reminiscing about their past and Toadie suggests that they have a karaoke competition, which Eli agrees to. Eli asks Toadie if he wants to give it a miss and go to the circus, but Toadie says no. Eli takes to the stage and starts singing well, which goes down well with the crowd. Eli finishes his song to rapturous applause. Toadie comes up and Eli tells him to have fun. Toadie's singing is not good, but the crowd love his energetic performance and Eli is left looking shocked. Sonya later tells Toadie that Eli is too focused on himself, which she does not like.

Judge Nerida Willow, played by former Prisoner actress Jane Clifton, made her first on-screen appearance on 15 November 2010.[59] Clifton filmed on location and appeared in five episodes.[60] Filming with the show gave Clifton a chance to meet up with former Prisoner cast members, Janet Andrewartha (Lyn Scully) and Jackie Woodburne (Susan Kennedy).[59][60]

When the prosecutor, Samantha Fitzgerald (Simone Buchanan), begins to question why Kate Ramsay (Ashleigh Brewer) changed her statement, Judge Willow tells her to get on with it and later tells her to stick to the facts when Sam brings up Kate's dead mother. Judge Willow tells Sam to tread carefully after she brings up Steph's relationship with Daniel Fitzgerald (Brett Tucker). When Sam then launches a personal attack on Libby Kennedy (Kym Valentine), Judge Willow tells her to stop. Following the end of the witness statements, she tells the jury that they have a hard task ahead of them. They later decide that Steph is guilty. Before Judge Willow has a chance to read out the sentence, she is interrupted by Donna Freedman (Margot Robbie), who wishes to change her statement. Judge Willow tells her to sit down, but Donna continues. Judge Willow calls a recess and when she returns she sentences Steph to six years in prison with a non-parole period of two years.
