Number 26 was occupied by Jim Robinson (Alan Dale), his mother-in-law Helen Daniels (Anne Haddy) and his four children: Paul (Stefan Dennis), Julie (Vikki Blanche), Scott (Darius Perkins) and Lucy (Kylie Flinker) when "Neighbours" began in 1985. As the children moved out, various relations stayed at the house, including Jim's long-lost son Glen Donnelly (Richard Huggett) and Jim wife Beverly Marshall's (Lisa Armytage) niece and nephew Katie Landers (Sally Jensen) and Todd Landers (Kristian Schmid). Lodgers also include Nick Page (Mark Stevens) and Matt Robinson (Ashley Paske). Following Alan Dale's decision to leave the show in 1993, producers decided to kill Jim off and he had a fatal heart attack in the kitchen. Dale felt "stitched up" by the producers, who left him lying on the floor of the set all day. After Jim's departure, the house is home to Wayne Duncan (Jonathan Sammy Lee) and Julie's family, which includes her husband, Philip Martin (Ian Rawlings), his children Debbie (Marnie Reece-Wilmore) and Michael (Troy Beckwith), and their only child Hannah (Rebecca Ritters). In 1997, Anne Haddy, the last remaining character from the original cast, was forced to quit "Neighbours" due to ill health. Her character Helen dies in the Number 26 living room. Philip's new partner Ruth Wilkinson (Ailsa Piper) and her children Lance Wilkinson (Andrew Bibby) and Anne Wilkinson (Brooke Satchwell) move in. In 1999, the Martin family were written out of "Neighbours" and Philip, Ruth and Hannah departed together.
