Neighbours is an Australian television soap opera that was first broadcast on 18 March 1985. The following is a list of characters that first appeared on the show in 2007, by order of first appearance. All characters were introduced by the show's executive producer Ric Pellizzeri. The 23rd season of Neighbours began airing from 8 January 2007. That month saw both Ringo Brown and Oliver Barnes introduced as brothers of established characters. March saw the year's first baby, Holly Hoyland, born. Con artists Terrence Chesterton and Charlotte Stone arrived the following month, along with Mary Casey. June saw the debuts of Prue Brown, Adam Rhodes, Kirsten Gannon and Mickey Gannon. Oliver's mother and brother, Rebecca and Declan Napier, were introduced in July, as were Bridget Parker, Miranda Parker, Steve Parker and Peggy Newton. Justin Hunter, Richard Aaronow and Riley Parker began appearing from August. September saw Brad Jordan arrive, while October saw the introductions of Marco Silvani, Josh Taylor, Taylah Jordan and Jessica Wallace. Both Angus Henderson and Mia Silvani arrived in November.
Ringo Brown, played by Sam Clark, made his first screen appearance on 24 January 2007. Clark was cast in the role after he won a competition hosted by teen magazine Dolly. Clark was signed to a three-month contract to play the part of Ringo. Clark auditioned four times in total before being cast. His contract was later extended from the initial three months to nine months. The actor described Ringo as being "a good-hearted kid", who does the normal things that a 16-year-old does. Clark explained that Ringo left home to come and live the life his brother, Frazer (Ben Lawson) is living. A writer for the official Neighbours website described Ringo as someone who had "often drawn the short straw in life". They pointed out that he was not an academic, but cheeky and good-humoured. Ringo had previously suffered with anorexia in the past and one of his first major storylines saw him suffer a relapse.
