There are many iconic characters associated with Neighbours – from Harold and Madge to Lou Carpenter and couple Karl and Susan Kennedy, but one that always comes to viewers’ minds is Paul Robinson.
Paul Robinson, played by Stefan Dennis, is one of Ramsay Street’s longest residents and has appeared in the soap from its very first episode.
Since then, the Robinson clan has expanded, with children including David Tanaka and Leo Tanaka and granddaughter Harlow Robinson, played by Jason Donovan’s daughter Jemma Donovan, joining the series in recent years.
Paul’s relationship with his kids hasn’t always been straight forward though, and here, we look at where the actors who played the Robinson children are now.
Cameron Robinson / Robert Robinson – Adam Hunter

Cameron and Robert Robinson are triplets, along with Elle Robinson, with the identical brothers played by Adam Hunter.
Even their own father was unable to tell Cameron and Robert apart, and in 2006, Robert used this to his advantage in a sinister plot, when he pretended to be Cameron and tried to kill his father Paul Robinson.
However, he was stopped just moments before he completed his dastardly plot and was sent to prison, but the character returned in 2019 briefly when his onscreen daughter Harlow joined the series.

It all seemed happy for the Robinson clan once Robert was caught, but sadly Cameron was killed in 2006, after Max Hoyland hit him with his car.
Asked about which brother he preferred playing, actor Adam Hunter said to Digital Spy, “I had more fun playing Robert and the writers had more fun writing him.”
Talking about working with Stefan Dennis again in 2019 when the villainous Robert Robinson returned, Adam added, “He’s brilliant. He’s got a heart of gold and I loved every minute of working with him again.”
Adam continues to work as an actor, appearing most recently in productions including television series Wolfpack of Reseda in 2016 and award-winning short film 2 birds and a Wrench in 2014.
Elle Robinson – Pippa Black

Elle Robinson is one of the triplets born to Paul and Gail Robinson, along with identical brothers Cameron and Robert.
Pippa left the role in 2009, but made a brief appearance in Neighbours in 2019, the same year as Adam Roberts returned as Robert Robinson.
Since then she hasn’t left our screens, playing a number of lead roles including Tonya, in the NBC series Outsourced from 2010 – 2011 and has most recently completed work on the film Hypnotised, opposite actors including Vinnie Jones.
Andrew Robinson – Jordan Smith

Andrew Robinson was introduced to viewers following his birth on November 13 1991, and was played by Shannon Holmes until the character left our screens in 1992.
However like most of Paul Robinson’s kids, it wasn’t long before he returned and in 2009, a teenage Andrew returned to Ramsay Street.
During his time on the soap, he was involved in storylines including a relationship with Donna Freedman, played by future Hollywood starlet Margot Robbie.
However, his career could have been completely different as before moving to Brisbane at age 13, he played football for Dunfermline’s youth academy, in his hometown of Fife, Scotland.
Since leaving Neighbours, Andrew has also landed roles in Hollywood productions including the TV series Vikings, where he currently stars as Ubbe.
Amy Williams – Nicolette Minster / Sheridan Compagnino / Zoe Cramond

Amy Williams is Paul Robinson’s eldest daughter and was originally played by Nicolette Minster, until Sheridan Compagnino took over the role for eight episodes in 1992.
Although Sheridan had a number of roles in TV series such as Spencer in 1992’s Kelly, and police crime drama Blue Heelers from 1995-1998, no further acting roles have been listed for the actress.
Zoe Cramond took over the role when Amy Williams returned to Erinsborough in Neighbours from 2015, but left in 2019 when the character moved to New York permanently to be with her son Jimmy.
She continues to act and most recently starred in the TV film, The Secrets she keeps, in 2021.
