Characters birthdays

For all you Neighbours fans if you have often wondered when the birthday of a character past or present is then this is the page for you. This list provides details of a characters age or birthday which is taken from the show itself.

However like with all long running television shows, and having notched up over 6800 episodes since it began in March 1985 sometimes ages of characters have been contradicted and a birthday of a character mentioned for the first time could be out of date by the second time their age or birthday is mentioned. I dont know if Neighbours has an archivist. If not then this may explain the discrepancies. Different scriptwriters have written over the years and some of them may have had their own character info which contradicted that of another scriptwriter. It seems the producer who approved the scripts never picked up on this and there was no archivist to remind the writing team of such birthdays.

One example of a discrepancy is Helen Daniels age has pointed to her being born in 1922 to 1929. And Paul Robinson, grandson of the said Helen was born in 1963 but the birthday has been said to be January and June 1963 over the years.

Some characters on the list have never had their age or birthday mentioned but judging by how old they look I have added a guess. One example is Mrs Mangel. In 1986 when she first appeared she looked about 60 so I would guess she was born about 1925.

Sometimes ages have been tweaked on purpose such as Hannah Martin and Mason Turner.

Here is a list of birthdays and a note of any time the ages or birthdates have not matched up. Also noted are episodes in which a character birthday was mentioned. The list is listed from oldest known character to have appeared where an age has been hinted at to mentioned to the youngest.
