Neighbours star Stefan Dennis triumphs in Inside Soap Awards 2022
"What an incredible way to end the 37-year life of Paul Robinson."

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...e-soap-awards/

Neighbours star Stefan Dennis has won a prize at the Inside Soap Awards 2022, Digital Spy can exclusively reveal.

The actor, who played original character Paul Robinson from 1985, has topped the vote for the Best Daytime Star prize.

Earlier this month, it was revealed that Stefan had made it to the top four in the category alongside his Neighbours co-star Ben Turland (Hendrix Greyson), Home and Away actress Emily Symons (Marilyn Chambers) and Doctors actress Sarah Moyle (Valerie Pitman).

Accepting the award, Stefan commented: "What an incredible way to end the 37-year life of Paul Robinson. Thank you very, very much everybody who voted for me for this.

"I'd also like to thank [Neighbours' production company] Fremantle obviously, and Channel 5 who did fight desperately to keep this show alive.

"Thank you to all the producers and the wonderful cast and crew that I managed to work intimately with over the last 37-odd years. Without you, Neighbours just would not be, so thank you guys."

Stefan went on to acknowledge the passionate fan campaign to save Neighbours, which began when Channel 5 announced its decision to pull funding for the show in February.

Although the petition didn't lead to a rethink, cast and crew were touched to see how much the show meant to fans.

Stefan continued: "Most particularly, I want to thank all the very loyal fans out there. Not just the ones who voted for me for this, but all of those who have stuck by the show for the entire life of Neighbours ? and particularly in the last days when we did hear you very loud and clear on the other side of the world when you tried so desperately to keep the show alive. Thank you so much for that.

"And Jan Russ ? without you, I wouldn't be standing here getting this award today. Thank you for casting me in the show."

Neighbours aired its historic final episode at the end of July, featuring the much-hyped returns of Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue as iconic supercouple Scott and Charlene Robinson.

The finale topped 4 million viewers in consolidated ratings for Channel 5, while 1.38 million fans saw the Australian airing on Channel 10.

The Inside Soap Awards will take place in London on Monday (October 17), when the rest of the winners will be announced at a star-studded ceremony.

Former Neighbours star has undergone a major transformation since their 2022 finale
He looks amazing!

https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebri...ormation-76029

In the short amount of time since Neighbours departed our screens in 2022, one iconic character has undergone a complete transformation and fans are loving it.

Stefan Dennis, who played Paul Robinson in the Australia soap from 1985 to 1993 and returned to his role in 2004, was the pinnacle of cleanly shaved face and well-maintained hair. But he has swapped it for shaggy hair and stubble!

Stefan posed alongside his former co-star Alan Fletcher, who played Karl Kennedy, as they drove from Sydney to Melbourne.

"Had a wonderful few days in Sydney playing music with @lachlanbryan and @jenahansen," Alan wrote.

"Big kudos to @stefandennis7 for driving back to #melbourne with me. #longdrive #bestcompany #gundagai #dogonthetuckerbox #roadtrip."

Former co-star Ryan Thomas commented: "That's some hairdo."

Meanwhile, numerous fans flooded to the comments with praise for Stefan's new look. Even writing it should be Paul's new look when he returns in the Neighbours reboot.

"Loving Stefan's new look," one wrote.

"I'd proper love it if Paul came back to Neighbours all chilled out with floppy hair and a beard," another fan commented.

"Stefan's got to keep the new look for his Neighbours return."

"Paul are you in there."

"That definitely does not look like Paul Robinson!!!"

In November, Network 10 announced the drama series return in early 2023. Stefan will be joined by some original cast members including Alan Fletcher, Ryan Molony and Jackie Woodburne.

However, it is yet to be confirmed as to which other characters will be returning to our screen as many of the former actors revealed they were unaware the show was being revived.

Once the news spread, April Rose Pengilly who played Chloe Brennan posted that most of the cast members were "finding out at the same time" as fans.

"Neighbours has captivated its audience for nearly 40 years, building a dedicated and loyal following for the lives and stories of the characters on Ramsay Street," Amazon's Lauren Anderson said.

"We look forward to immersing the audience in new Ramsay Street experiences when we relaunch the show next year for Amazon Freevee and Prime Video customers."

Neighbours bad boy Paul Robinson may have finally gained the upper hand in his battles with Lassiters investor Reece Sinclair.

Paul has spent the past few weeks obediently following orders from no-nonsense Reece, whose family now own a major stake in Lassiters.

All that looked set to change in the closing moments of Monday's episode, as Paul finally discovered what Reece has been hiding from him. Since arriving in Erinsborough, Reece has been enjoying a passionate fling with hotel employee Byron Stone.

The pair have kept their relationship top secret, allowing Byron to pass on sneaky pieces of information to Reece about Paul's attempts to outsmart her.

Monday's episode saw Reece and Byron give into temptation on hotel premises once again as they kissed passionately in one of the Lassiters lifts.

When Paul checked the footage, he was stunned to spot what had been going on behind closed doors. Paul is sure to use the information to his advantage in upcoming episodes, wanting to make the most of every opportunity to gain the upper hand over Reece.

Fans can expect a tense showdown between Paul and Byron, as teased in Monday's end-of-episode preview. When Paul makes a calculated move, there are major consequences at Lassiters and Byron is forced to confront his past.

Amid the turmoil, can Byron and Reece's relationship survive?

Neighbours' Paul Robinson faces upsetting Christmas amid estrangement from David Tanaka
Paul's damaged relationship with his son causes tension.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...-estrangement/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours' Paul Robinson will be facing an emotional Christmas in upcoming scenes, as his estrangement from his recently returned son David Tanaka continues to weigh on him.

In scenes airing on Monday, December 11, Paul will be determined to make the Lassiters Christmas Fair a success.

However, his evening is marred by the tension between himself and David, who has only moved back to Erinsborough on the condition that Paul keeps his distance from him.

With David desperate to stay away from Paul after the drama with Krista Sinclair, he is avoiding him like the plague, leaving Paul upset by the huge chasm between them.

Meanwhile, Chloe Brennan also has unwelcome news ? Santa has cancelled on them. The family soon come up with a Plan B as they dress Paul up in the Santa suit instead.

While Paul enjoys sharing a lovely moment with his granddaughters, the distance between himself and David still smarts.

With the festive season fully underway, does Paul have any chance of making amends with David, or will their relationship remain frosty?

Actors Takaya Honda and Matt Wilson, who play David and his husband Aaron Brennan, spoke to Digital Spy earlier this year about their return to Neighbours, revealing that it was all about the storylines for them.

"Ultimately, I think for both of us the story that Jason Herbison, our executive producer, pitched to us was something that was really intriguing to get us back onto the show and kick it off and the larger story that was happening on the show itself," Takaya said.

"We could tell that there was something different happening on the show, so we wanted to be a part of that really."

Paul is put on the spot when he's caught out for meddling in his ex-wife Terese Willis' new business venture.

Terese has been busy planning the launch of a retirement experience, which was originally earmarked to take the place of Erinsborough High.

More recently, Terese has teamed up with Jane Harris with an alternative plan for the retirement experience and school to co-exist at the same location.

Scenes airing this week see Terese and Jane give their pitch to the local council, who need to approve the idea before it can go ahead.

In Neighbours' Christmas Day episode, all of the show's families enjoy their respective celebrations, but the festivities don't put the Street's drama on hold.

Terese and Jane are still unsettled from the revelation that Paul was involved in them winning council approval and they wonder what to do. They face a dilemma over whether to come clean or keep their discovery a secret.

nce Christmas lunch is over, Terese's new husband Toadie Rebecchi is clearly losing patience over Paul's behaviour and goes to visit him.

Neighbours' Paul Robinson fights back against Krista Sinclair as feud continues
Who'll get the upper hand?

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...l-krista-plan/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours schemer Paul Robinson sets up Krista Sinclair to fail next week as their Lassiters rivalry intensifies.

Paul decides to make life difficult for Krista following her appointment as the Sinclair family's official representative at the hotel.

The Sinclairs are key investors in the business and they previously sent Krista's sister Reece, played by The OC star Mischa Barton, to keep an eye on things.

Reece has taken charge of the Sinclair family's business interests since the death of her father Conrad and has now appointed Krista to oversee things at Lassiters.

Tuesday's episode (December 19) saw Krista decide to take the title of Executive Consultant and she vowed to start work once Chloe Brennan leaves Erinsborough.

Next week, Paul gets up to no good by setting Krista a seemingly-impossible task.

Paul demands that Krista presents a party proposal to Belinda ? one of the hotel's most picky clients ? by the end of the day.

Krista feels out of her depth, but she decides to embrace the challenge and sets up a meeting with Belinda.

Quickly realising that she can use her family's status to her advantage, Krista charms Belinda with tales of the Sinclairs' experiences with the rich and powerful.

Krista is delighted when she manages to complete Paul's challenge ahead of schedule, well aware that this isn't what he'd hoped for.

It's round one to Krista in the latest hotel rivalry, but will Paul step up his plans to bring her down?

Id much rather see PAUL mentor KRISTA and the two of them build a strong working relationship. We had enough of PAUL plotting against REECE, time to move on to something different and more interesting.

Neighbours officially confirms 9,000th episode storyline
Paul Robinson's past is revisited next week.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...ode-storyline/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours has confirmed the full details of Paul Robinson taking centre stage in the show's 9,000th episode.

The long-running soap reaches this impressive milestone next Monday (March 4) ? and fans can expect some nods to the past as Paul's colourful history is revisited.

The episode sees Aaron Brennan set out to give Paul's new girlfriend Chelsea Murphy some home truths about what he's capable of.

Aaron is irritated when Chelsea asks if Paul can spend some time with his young granddaughter Isla.

The barman is grieving the loss of his husband David Tanaka and is struggling to forgive Paul for his inadvertent role in causing the tragedy.

After refusing Chelsea's request, Aaron becomes concerned over how quickly she has immersed herself into Paul's world.

Fearful that it won't end well for Chelsea, Aaron steps in and tries to warn her about what she's taking on.

Aaron takes Chelsea on a 'Paul Robinson Greatest Hits' tour, sharing all the shocking details of his dastardly past.

With Chelsea focused on her own secret agenda, will she really be put off from Paul so easily?

Viva Bianca, who plays Chelsea, recently teased her character's future by saying: "The thing about Chelsea is she's always got something else kind of ticking. And in this instance, it turns out things aren?t quite as they seem. Let's just say she's a really effective manipulator, and she does somewhat work her way into Paul Robinson's good books."

She added: "Chelsea sticks around for a while and has quite a bit of business to tend to, and is determined to do so. So you'll be seeing a fair bit of me over the next few months."

Recent episodes have seen Chelsea scheme her way to securing a managerial position at Lassiters, stepping in to oversee the running of the hotel while Paul is distracted by his grief for David.

Neighbours airs its 9,000th episode on Monday, March 4.

[Bossy7]

CHELSEA has been a great addition to the cast. Like what her & PAUL have got going. Both seem to be using the other with no strings attached.
Id like to see the two remain friends after PAUL & TERESE get back together.

Neighbours' Paul Robinson left upset over new rejection from Terese Willis
An unsettling dream derails Paul and Terese's connection.

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...lis-rejection/

Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours' Paul Robinson will be left upset next week after his ex-wife Terese Willis rejects him once again.

In scenes that will air on Monday, April 22, Paul is busy continuing to help Terese work through her recruitment issues with her new business ? retirement experience Eirini Rising.

With Terese growing increasingly stressed in the lead-up to the building's big opening, Paul's desire to help his former partner also grows, leaving Jane Harris suspicious of his motives.

But unknown to Paul, an exhausted Terese experiences a very unsettling dream which reminds her just why she and Paul split up.

Her mind takes her back to Paul's recent crime of trying to cover up Krista Sinclair's 'murder' (before he found out that she was still alive), as well as Paul's subsequent dumping of Terese at the altar in an attempt to protect her from the fallout.

Meanwhile, Paul's new girlfriend Chelsea Murphy is growing increasingly jealous of how much attention he is giving Terese.

An upset Chelsea tells Paul that he's kidding himself if he thinks he'll ever get what he wants from Terese again, and she's later proved right when Terese's upsetting dream causes her to pull away from Paul.

Paul is left deeply disappointed ? is this the end of the pair's rekindled friendship?

Actor Stefan Dennis, who plays Paul, recently told Digital Spy that he thinks his character will soon reach a point where he is forced to "realise that Terese is not interested".

"But that doesn't mean that he is ever going to stop," he teased.
