In the short amount of time since Neighbours departed our screens in 2022, one iconic character has undergone a complete transformation and fans are loving it.
Stefan Dennis, who played Paul Robinson in the Australia soap from 1985 to 1993 and returned to his role in 2004, was the pinnacle of cleanly shaved face and well-maintained hair. But he has swapped it for shaggy hair and stubble!
“Loving Stefan’s new look.”

“Had a wonderful few days in Sydney playing music with @lachlanbryan and @jenahansen,” Alan wrote.

“Big kudos to @stefandennis7 for driving back to #melbourne with me. #longdrive #bestcompany #gundagai #dogonthetuckerbox #roadtrip.”
Former co-star Ryan Thomas commented: “That’s some hairdo.”

“Loving Stefan’s new look,” one wrote.
“I’d proper love it if Paul came back to Neighbours all chilled out with floppy hair and a beard,” another fan commented.
“Stefan’s got to keep the new look for his Neighbours return.”
“Paul are you in there.”
“That definitely does not look like Paul Robinson!!!”
In November, Network 10 announced the drama series return in early 2023. Stefan will be joined by some original cast members including Alan Fletcher, Ryan Molony and Jackie Woodburne.
Neighbours was axed in July 2022, but a reboot is coming!

Once the news spread, April Rose Pengilly who played Chloe Brennan posted that most of the cast members were “finding out at the same time” as fans.
“Neighbours has captivated its audience for nearly 40 years, building a dedicated and loyal following for the lives and stories of the characters on Ramsay Street,” Amazon’s Lauren Anderson said.
“We look forward to immersing the audience in new Ramsay Street experiences when we relaunch the show next year for Amazon Freevee and Prime Video customers.”
