.

Creation and casting

The character was born on screen on 13 November 1991 to

Gayle Blakeney). Andrew was portrayed by Shannon Holmes until his departure in 1992.[1] In September 2009, it was announced the character would be returning to Neighbours after a seventeen-year absence.[2] Darren Rowe of Digital Spy reported twenty-year-old Queenslander Jordan Smith had been cast as Andrew.[3] Smith told David Knox of TV Tonight that shortly after returning from a Gold Coast music festival, he discovered he had seventeen missed calls from his agent telling him he had an audition for Neighbours back down on the Gold Coast.[4]

Smith explained "So I drove all the way back down and it was the only audition I've ever had where I really didn't care too much about it. I wasn't very prepared so I just went in, to see what happened. Two weeks later I had a phone call saying I had the job. Crazy."[4] Smith received the call while he was in hospital, following a workplace accident which left his nose swollen and infected.[3] This led to Smith almost turning down the role.[3] Smith's first scenes as Andrew were broadcast in December 2009.[3] His role was initially supposed to last for six weeks.[4] In 2011, it was announced that Smith had signed a new contract to stay with Neighbours for another two years.[4]

Development

Characterisation

The character's backstory was changed to accommodate Smith's Scottish accent. Smith had grown up in Scotland before moving to Australia as a teenager.[5] Originally Andrew and Christina were said to have moved from Brazil back to Australia, but this was amended to include an intervening stay in Scotland.[5] Smith speaks in a refined version of his natural accent to be understood. Of this he said "The producers have been fantastic in accommodating my accent. I have had to refine it so the other cast members and audience can understand me. Although I still get that 'what the hell did he just say?' about every second scene."[6] The character also had a noticeable change in age.[7] Andrew was born on screen in November 1991, but his age was decreased to sixteen and his birth date changed to 20 August 1993.[8]

A writer for the BBC's Neighbours website commented that Andrew was "a delightful little baby" who had endured an unsettled beginning to life.[9] Following his return, the character was portrayed as having a deceptive persona.[10] Of this Smith said "He is very calculating and comes across as extremely selfish. However, there is a softer side to him but, for the moment, you only see glimpses of that."[10] Smith also revealed some of the similarities in the comparison of his character and his on-screen father stating: "There are definitely characteristics of his father. He is very motivated by money and status like his father and would think nothing of burning someone if it meant he would get ahead."[10] Network Ten describe the character. as having the charm and confidence others find intoxicating.[8] They also add that he has a gift of an "inexplicable ability to make anyone he's talking to feel like they're the only person in the room."[8] They also comment on how the character longs for his father to take notice of his actions and how much he wants him to notice him as a would-be businessman.[8] Holy Soap said Andrew is a "bit of a chip off the old block and is always keen to make a quick buck."[1]

Relationships

Donna Freedman

Margot Robbie portrayed Donna Freedman

Andrew first storyline saw him have a one-night stand with Donna Freedman (Margot Robbie) during schoolies week.[11] Donna was going through a rough patch in her relationship with Ringo Brown (Sam Clark) and when they argue at a dance party, Donna "catches the eye" of Andrew, the club promoter.[11] Robbie explained "Andrew makes the first move to come over and have a chat. He's obviously very charming – and good-looking. Sparks fly straightaway."[11] After they kiss at the party, Donna decides to go back to Andrew's place and she does not return to her room until the morning.[11] A few weeks later, Andrew turns up in Erinsborough to visit his father, much to Donna's shock.[12] Robbie stated that seeing Andrew again was the last thing Donna was expecting and she worries that he is going to tell everyone about what happened between them.[12] TV Week's Jackie Brygel commented "Andrew's appearance has devastating consequences for several Ramsay Street residents in the months to come – particularly Donna, who's determined to keep her relationship with Ringo on track at any cost."[12] Andrew puts pressure on Donna to give into their attraction for each other and they kiss.[13] Robbie called Andrew "a game player" and said he likes the effect he has on Donna.[13] When Ringo chooses to attend a university orientation evening instead of helping Donna out with her fashion business, Andrew becomes aware of her disappointment. He then seizes the opportunity to make "his presence felt in her life".[13]

Robbie believed that because Andrew is more into the fashion scene and an aspiring businessman, he is perfect for the world Donna is trying to break into.[13] One of Andrew and Donna's trysts is recorded onto a laptop and Andrew copies it to a disc, without Donna's knowledge.[14][15] The disc falls into the hands of school bully, Scott Griffin (Eamonn George), who then shows the tape at the local bar, exposing Andrew and Donna's affair.[14] The tape is later leaked onto the internet, which embarrasses Donna.[15] A few months later, Donna and Ringo become engaged and they plan to marry quickly, so they can live in the United States.[16] Andrew tells Donna that her marriage is doomed because she will probably cheat on Ringo again. When Donna catches Andrew shredding her paperwork for the trip, she slaps him across the face.[16] A week later, Andrew makes sure Ringo witnesses him kissing Donna.[17] She then becomes interested in why Andrew is trying to wreck her future with Ringo.[17] Robbie explained to an Inside Soap writer "Donna is baffled. She thinks it's nuts that Andrew would give a hoot about her moving away, and knows he must have some kind of agenda. Despite the fact Andrew has done some pretty hideous things to Donna, she's probably the only person who really gets him."[17] Donna later realises that Andrew is worried about losing her friendship and when she leaves, he will have no one.[17] Ringo becomes angry with Andrew's actions and he punches him.[17]

Natasha Williams

Andrew begins dating

Jordy Lucas) began.[20] Andrew beings to develop feelings for Summer, but he is warned off by her grandmother, Lyn Scully (Janet Andrewartha). Andrew later expresses concern for Summer when she collapses at a party and Natasha notices. She later asks Andrew if he loves her, but he does not reply.[20] Of Andrew's situation, a writer for the official Neighbours website said "Hooking up with Natasha could've been the single most stupid thing he's done so far, and that's saying something."[20]

Summer Hoyland

Lucas told a reporter for

Tomas Bersky (Tim Munley).[23] Smith explained that until that moment, Andrew had thought Summer was too good for him, but when she goes out with Tomas, it is a wake up call for him.[23] Andrew lies to Natasha about having a business meeting and he goes to see Summer. She tells him that she wants to be with him and they kiss. Smith said "Andrew also knows that if he doesn't act now and let Summer know how he feels, it'll be too late. When Summer tells Andrew she wants to be with him, he's completely overwhelmed. He's never felt this way about a girl before."[23] Andrew promises Summer that he will break up with Natasha the next day and they have sex.[23] At the same time, a fire breaks out and Natasha goes in to save Summer, not knowing Andrew is there too.[23] Smith told a writer for Holy Soap that filming the fire scenes was "great fun" and that they gave him a "sense of what it would be like on an action movie."[24] When he was asked who Andrew should be with, Smith thought Natasha was the right one for him because they are very alike. He said Summer "would cool off" as soon as she realised that Andrew is up to no good.[24]

When Andrew goes to break up with Natasha, she tells him that she is pregnant. Smith quipped that the news is a huge shock to Andrew and he explained "He thought he was going in one direction, and then all of sudden, everything changed. However, not having a father around when he was growing up, he decides pretty quickly that he wants to give it the best shot he can."[25] Andrew supports Natasha and tries to dedicate himself to the baby.[26] Smith told Daniel Kilkelly of Digital Spy that Andrew is oblivious to the possibility that Natasha is lying to him as he is focused on doing the right thing.[21] Summer later exposes Natasha lie and Smith said Andrew is "gutted" by the news, as he had accepted the idea of becoming a father.[25] Andrew cannot accept that Natasha could be so cruel and Smith stated that Andrew had been "ripped apart" because of the lie.[21] Because of Andrew's state of mind, Smith believed that he and Summer would not get together straight away, saying "his head is a mess over what's happened, they try to get together but she wants him to be one way, and he just isn't in the right frame of mind – he's racing at a 100 miles an hour to make sense of what has happened."[21] Smith added that he hoped the storyline had reached an end as Andrew, Summer and Natasha's friendships have been pushed beyond their limits. He explained that he would like to see them all move in a different direction.[21]

Jordy Lucas

Summer later explains to Andrew that they cannot be together as she feels that the situation with Natasha never would have happened if they had not cheated on her.

Lisa Devine (Sophie Tilson) in front of Summer, leaving her gutted.[27] Lucas said that while it would be nice for Summer and Andrew to end up together, she believes they are more interesting when their relationship is strained.[27] When Lyn announces that she plans to relocate the family to Bendigo, Summer is devastated at the thought of leaving Andrew. Just as Lyn is driving out of Ramsay Street, Andrew runs after the car and declares his love for Summer.[28] Summer decides to stay in Erinsborough to be with Andrew and they begin a proper relationship.[28] In January 2012, it was confirmed Summer and Andrew would break up later in the year.[29] Lucas told Digital Spy's Daniel Kilkelly that the pressure on Andrew and Summer's relationship and the different directions they are going in eventually takes a toll on them.[29] Lucas believed the couple would be over for good, but stated they could reunite in the future as they love each other so much.[29]

When Summer tries to repay a debt to Paul on Andrew's behalf, he accuses her of "suffocating" him.

Belinda Ferry (Rachel Jessica Tan) and they get talking. Summer believes they are flirting and she decides to leave the party.[30] Andrew notices her leave and thinks that she is no longer interested in him. However, Summer returns to the party to talk to Andrew and catches him kissing Belinda.[30] A show spokesperson told Hill "Andrew pushes Belinda away as he comes to his senses. He's not interested – he loves Summer."[31] They added that when Andrew sees the hurt in Summer's eyes, he realises what he has lost.[31] Andrew and Summer briefly reunite a couple of months later. They kiss and then have a one-night stand.[32] Lucas told Digital Spy's Paul Millar that Summer's only thinking that she wants Andrew in the moment and does not think of the consequences.[32] The actress added "He was Summer's first true love, so she will always have a special place in her heart for him."[32]

Dance party

Shortly after Natasha's pregnancy lie is revealed, Andrew throws himself into his dance party business.

Scott McGregor), who arrives at the club.[34] Andrew is under pressure to come clean and he realises that the situation has become serious.[34] Smith said "He's tried to brush it off, but he knows he needs to do the right thing."[34] Mark and the police do not find any evidence of illegal activity, but Andrew feels the need to tell them the truth. He also decides to tell his father about Tomas's actions.[35]

Crash and epilepsy

In August 2012, Andrew is involved in a car accident while heading to a concert with his friends.[37] The crash occurs after Natasha learns Andrew has sold an app, that they worked on together, without her permission.[37] Their argument leads Chris Pappas (James Mason) to lose control of the car and crash.[37] Smith commented "So many lives are in danger."[37] Andrew suffers a serious head injury as a result of the accident.[37] He later struggles with "worrying neurological symptoms" including; dizziness, severe headaches and black outs.[36] Andrew keeps his health worries to himself because he is determined not to show signs of weakness.[36] Andrew is worried further when he blacks out at home and discovers he has suffered a fit.[36] The Daily Star's Susan Hill reported that he sets up a camera to see what happens if he is affected again. However, when nothing happens, Andrew decides to go to the hospital for a check up.[38] After undergoing tests by Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher), Andrew has "his life turned upside down" when he is diagnosed with epilepsy.[36][38]

A Neighbours spokesperson explained "Andrew is devastated when he discovers he's got epilepsy. He's in the prime of his life and is shocked by the news as the attacks can happen at any time."[38] They added that Andrew will struggle to live with the diagnosis and that it will have "a huge impact" on his life.[38] Karl urges Andrew to tell his family and friends about the diagnosis, but he does not listen and tries to deal with it by himself.[36][39] When Paul offers to buy Charlie's with him, it reinforces Andrew's decision to not reveal his condition.[36] Hill wrote "As he tries to manage the life-changing condition, he realises the scale of the challenge is huge. He has to avoid driving the company car and realises the strobe lights in Charlie's will have to go too."[39] Andrew's behaviour changes and he starts demanding that his friends give him lifts, despite knowing that hiding his condition will not help win them back.[39] A spokesperson stated "But his close friend Tash Williams really starts to get annoyed with his behaviour and doesn't understand why he can't drive his flash new car. Andrew finds it really hard to deal with but deep down he knows he must tell her what he is facing."[39] Smith revealed that he researched epilepsy in preparation for the storyline and commented that Andrew "should definitely go and get help".[36]

Departure and return

On 26 November 2012, Erin Miller from TV Week announced that Smith would be leaving Neighbours, along with two other cast members.[40] Miller believed that Smith was keen to pursue other acting projects.[40] The actor filmed his final scenes in December.[40] Kilkelly revealed that the show's storyliners were lining up "heartbreak and triumphs" for the character's exits.[41] Executive producer Richard Jasek stated "All the characters departing will leave a legacy on Ramsay Street which is testament to the extraordinary talents of the actors playing them. Communities are constantly changing and Neighbours is reflective of this."[41] Andrew made his screen exit on 29 March 2013.[42]

On 7 May 2022, Dan Seddon of Digital Spy announced Smith would reprise his role for the show's final episodes.[43] He was one of twenty-three cast members who agreed to return for the show's end. The "most memorable characters" from each decade were chosen to return and Executive producer Jason Herbison commented that it ensured there was "something for everyone as Neighbours draws to a close."[43]

Reception

Whilst played by Holmes, a writer for the BBC stated that Andrew's most notable moment was "Being born."[44] Following the character's return to Neighbours in 2009, a Holy Soap writer said that Andrew's most memorable moment was "Getting steamy with gorgeous Donna while she was going out with Ringo. The incident just happened to be recorded, sparking the end of Donna and Ringo's relationship."[45] During that storyline, Cameron Adams of the Herald Sun commented on the character's accent, saying "Watch for: Andrew's hard-to-pin-down accent. It's part Scottish, part ocker."[46]

The character became popular with female viewers and Smith revealed that he had received marriage proposals.[24] A critic for The Sun-Herald noted that trouble follows Andrew wherever he goes, and stated: "The baby-faced teen has been in Erinsborough less than a year but has earned the reputation of Ramsay Street rebel. He's had an affair with Donna (Margot Robbie), ripped off a security firm and taken credit for work done by Declan (Erin Mullally). This week, Andrew continues to be a nuisance, inviting Chris (James Mason) to a party held by Summer (Jordy Lucas). When Chris gets involved in a fight, it's clear he's fallen under Andrew's influence."[47]
