Andrew Robinson (Neighbours)

Andrew Robinson is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Neighbours, played by Jordan Patrick Smith from 2009 to 2013 and in 2022.

Andrew's backstory was subject to retroactive continuity to explain Smith's Scottish accent, and he had his age reduced so that he would be a teenager on his return.

His storylines have included his return to Erinsborough, having an affair with Donna Freedman (Margot Robbie), fighting with his stepbrother and becoming involved in a love triangle with Natasha Williams (Valentina Novakovic) and Summer Hoyland (Jordy Lucas).

The character was born on screen on 13 November 1991 to Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) and Christina Alessi (Gayle Blakeney).

[12] TV Week's Jackie Brygel commented "Andrew's appearance has devastating consequences for several Ramsay Street residents in the months to come – particularly Donna, who's determined to keep her relationship with Ringo on track at any cost.

[13] When Ringo chooses to attend a university orientation evening instead of helping Donna out with her fashion business, Andrew becomes aware of her disappointment.

[14][15] The disc falls into the hands of school bully, Scott Griffin (Eamonn George), who then shows the tape at the local bar, exposing Andrew and Donna's affair.

[23] Smith told a writer for Holy Soap that filming the fire scenes was "great fun" and that they gave him a "sense of what it would be like on an action movie.

[26] Smith told Daniel Kilkelly of Digital Spy that Andrew is oblivious to the possibility that Natasha is lying to him as he is focused on doing the right thing.

"[21] Smith added that he hoped the storyline had reached an end as Andrew, Summer and Natasha's friendships have been pushed beyond their limits.

[29] Lucas told Digital Spy's Daniel Kilkelly that the pressure on Andrew and Summer's relationship and the different directions they are going in eventually takes a toll on them.

[33] Smith revealed that Andrew would "face a crisis of conscience" when he discovers that Tomas is involved in some "dodgy dealings" at the club where the party is held.

Smith told TV Week, "Andrew is terrified about what can go wrong – he knows he's in too deep, but he's happy to let it continue as long as he has nothing to do with it.

"[39] Andrew's behaviour changes and he starts demanding that his friends give him lifts, despite knowing that hiding his condition will not help win them back.

[41] Executive producer Richard Jasek stated "All the characters departing will leave a legacy on Ramsay Street which is testament to the extraordinary talents of the actors playing them.

The "most memorable characters" from each decade were chosen to return and Executive producer Jason Herbison commented that it ensured there was "something for everyone as Neighbours draws to a close.

Andrew was then in the midst of a custody battle, but Paul and Christina patched up their differences before leaving to run a branch of Lassiter's in Hawaii.

The family did not settle there for long as Paul was forced to go on the run after framing his brother-in-law Philip Martin (Ian Rawlings) for fraud.

Andrew refuses to apologise to Summer's stepmother, Stephanie Scully (Carla Bonner), and Rebecca decides to call Christina.

Andrew decides to help Summer out with her port folio for university, by editing footage of the History Wall project from her time lapse camera.

While Andrew is viewing the footage he spots his cousin, Kate Ramsay (Ashleigh Brewer), kissing Noah Parkin (Orpheus Pledger), a student.

Andrew tries to sell his car to Danielle Paquette (Georgia Bolton) to get some money to have the tattoo removed, but Paul finds out.

Paul tells Andrew to look after Sophie at the gig and when he catches her kissing Corey O'Donahue (Toby Wallace), he sends her home.

Andrew later learns Corey is the younger brother of Red Cotton's lead singer, Griffin (William Ewing), and he tries to manipulate Sophie into dating him.

Karl diagnoses him with epilepsy and Aidan Foster (Bobby Morley) encourages Andrew to tell Paul the news, but he refuses.

He also suggests to Paul and his brothers, David (Takaya Honda) and Leo Tanaka (Tim Kano), that they move to New York to be with the rest of the Robinsons.

"[44] Following the character's return to Neighbours in 2009, a Holy Soap writer said that Andrew's most memorable moment was "Getting steamy with gorgeous Donna while she was going out with Ringo.

[24] A critic for The Sun-Herald noted that trouble follows Andrew wherever he goes, and stated: "The baby-faced teen has been in Erinsborough less than a year but has earned the reputation of Ramsay Street rebel.

He's had an affair with Donna (Margot Robbie), ripped off a security firm and taken credit for work done by Declan (Erin Mullally).

This week, Andrew continues to be a nuisance, inviting Chris (James Mason) to a party held by Summer (Jordy Lucas).
