Backstory
Clive Archibald Gibbons was born in about 1960 to Charles Gibbons and his wife. He had an older brother Graham Gibbons and a sister Claire Gibbons. Clive went into medicine and became a doctor in about 1985.

1986-1987
Dr Clive Gibbons moved into No 22 Ramsay Street in January 1986. He soon crossed swords with neighbour Max Ramsay, the unofficial King of Ramsay Street, as it was named after Max's grandfather. Clive was an eccentric man who was a practical joker. He ran a gorillagram agency and moved into No 24 Ramsay Street. Clive even set up a small business called The Gift Of The Gab where he offered, for a fee, to give people messages from a friend, neighbour or relative if they were too shy to do it themselves. Some of the messages were outspoken and Clive said they do not necessarily reflect that of the management, himself.

In May 1986, Charlene Mitchell asked him for the pill and he gave her some advice as he was not practising at the time, he put her in touch with a family planning centre. In late 1986, Clive started dating Susan Cole, the ex girlfriend of Fred Mitchell, Madge's ex husband. When Clive gave her the engagement ring, the pram her baby Sam Robinson, her and Fred's son was in, rolled down the hill. Clive saved him but as the buggy came into the oncoming car driven by Paul Robinson, Paul swerved and crashed, with Mike Young and Scott Robinson as passengers. Clive was on hand until the ambulance arrived.

In 1987, Susan Cole said she did not want to marry Clive and left Erinsborough. Clive became depressed and was cheered up by Shane Ramsay. Clive met Harold Bishop. Clive left Ramsay Street in February 1987. He moved in to a flat nearby.

1989
In September 1989, Clive returned to Ramsay Street. He stayed with Des Clarke and became friends with Melanie Pearson. He treated Toby Mangel when he had a cold. Clive then got a call from Graham to help him run a surgery in the outback so in October 1989, Clive left Erinsborough for good to start a new life in the outback and has not been seen or heard from since.

As of 2016, Clive's whereabouts are unknown.
