Rachel Blakely and Genevieve Lemon made their debuts in August as Gaby Willis and Brenda Riley respectively.
Andrew Williams joined the cast as Brenda's nephew, Guy Carpenter in September, as did Simone Robertson as Phoebe Bright.
"[1] In her book The Neighbours Programme Guide, Josephine Monroe said Michael "seemed to be perfect – charming, sensitive and funny".
[1] While reviewing the wedding episode, Peter Holmes of The Sydney Morning Herald took a dislike to Michael, commenting "You'll excuse the indulgence, but I reckon the bloke's a bit of a cad.
"[4] Holmes noted there were some instances which raised suspicion about Michael's intentions and thought the marriage was headed for "certain disaster.
As they talk, they realise they share the same surname and are related – Michael's cousin Bill was Helen's late husband.
Jim also makes some suggestions, but Michael and Helen tell him they only want a small gathering with family and friends, who live locally.
At the reception, the bride and groom figures fall off the cake and Melanie Pearson (Lucinda Cowden) sees this as bad omen.
Blakely was invited to audition for the role by a Neighbours casting director, who spotted her picture on the cover of a magazine.
[8] Josephine Monroe, author of Neighbours: The First 10 Years thought that Gaby's "cascading dark hair" and model looks meant there was never a shortage of men after her.
[10] An Inside Soap writer stated Gaby and Glen Donnelly (Richard Huggett) had Ramsay Street's biggest on-off romance since Scott (Jason Donovan) and Charlene (Kylie Minogue).
[15] In February 1992, David Brown of TV Week reported that after only six months in the role, Lemon would be "moving out of Ramsay Street" to begin filming a part in The Piano.
Harold is keen to terminate the agreement, but softens when Brenda is able to get him a $5000 discount on a campervan for the Bishops' trip and agrees to let her stay.
When Harold disappears after being swept off of a rock and is presumed dead, Madge goes to visit her family to get over the loss and Brenda takes over the Coffee shop indefinitely.
However, her gossiping gets her in trouble when she unwittingly tells Felicity Brent (Rona McLeod) about Dorothy Burke's (Maggie Dence) marital problems, which Felicity uses in the local elections to discredit Dorothy, leaving her furious when she loses her seat and a feud develops.
Brenda reciprocates when Doug Willis (Terence Donovan), a married man known for flirting, catches her eye.
Brenda and Doug begin spending together and she tries to seduce him after learning her former husband, Roy (Neil Melville), is remarrying.
Things come to a head when Brenda kisses Doug which is witnessed by his daughter, Gaby Willis (Rachel Blakely).
However, the plan is undone when Lucy Robinson (Melissa Bell) tells Dorothy, who then arranges for a colleague to pose as a suitor.
After a boring date with Adrian Pitt (Andrew Larkins), Brenda realises Roy is her one true love and leaves Erinsborough.
[26] In August 1993, columnists from Shout and Inside Soap reported that both Robertson and her co-star Lochie Daddo were leaving their roles.
[29] Andrew was born to Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) and Christina Alessi (Gayle Blakeney).
[30] A writer for BBC Online commented that Andrew was "a delightful little baby" who had endured an unsettled beginning to life.
Originally Andrew and Christina moved from Brazil back to Australia, but this was amended to include an intervening stay in Scotland.
[34] Tim Davey, the television critic for the Bristol Evening Post was not a fan of Faye's attempts to date Jim Robinson (Alan Dale).
During the first day of her arrival, she scolds Toby Mangel (Ben Guerens) for playing with snails, which Doug has asked him to collect and criticises Pam Willis's (Sue Jones) cooking.
Jim enlists Dorothy Burke's (Dence) help to stage a cover that they are a couple to ward off Faye's attention.
Doug tells her to leave and she does, only to move two doors down to Number 32 which she rents from Helen Daniels (Anne Haddy).
Cameron Hudson (Mitchell), Faye's estranged son arrives to defend Pam on a murder charge and later moves in with her after they repair their relationship.
