Kyle Canning is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Neighbours, played by Chris Milligan. The actor successfully auditioned for the six-week recurring role of Kyle and he made his first on screen appearance on 26 November 2008. Milligan was later asked back every couple of months to do a few weeks filming. After eighteen months of playing Kyle on a part-time basis, Milligan was given a full-time contract deal and he and his character were promoted to the regular cast. Milligan said he was ecstatic about his promotion and looked forward to developing his character further. In August 2011, Milligan had to be written out of Neighbours temporarily so he could recover from an injury he sustained off screen.
Kyle was initially portrayed as an immature bad boy, whose physical presence made him fall into the role of a bully. However, his low academic intelligence made him vulnerable to people smarter than himself. A traumatic accident and his struggle to secure employment changed Kyle's ways. The character has been described as a

On 9 August 2011, Milligan snapped his Achilles tendon while playing football and had to be written out of the soap.[8] The actor took a break from Neighbours for around five weeks and the writers were forced to rewrite scenes which featured his character.[8] Executive producer Susan Bower said "We've rewritten some scenes which explain Kyle's absence, and as a former nurse, I'll be monitoring his rehabilitation."[8] A few days later, it was announced Luke Pegler had joined the cast to fill in for Milligan and take over a planned storyline for his character.[9] On 13 September 2011, a Channel 5 writer reported Milligan had returned to the set in time to film the final episodes of the 2011 season.[10] Milligan was still using crutches and a writer for the Herald Sun said his injury would be worked into his storylines.[11] Of his return, Milligan said "After a month of virtually sitting on the couch, I'm rapt to be back at work. I just have to pace myself a bit."[10]
Development
Characterisation
"Kyle is an example of a character we started as a guest and we developed, and could see how much the audience liked him. Plus we had time to really define the character. We have lots in store for Kyle. We see him as our resident bogan."[12]
—Susan Bower on Kyle (2011)
When Kyle first joined Neighbours, he was an immature "bad boy", who often hung around with school bullies,
Shortly before Kyle's promotion to regular character was announced, TV Soap reported the Neighbours writers were going to give Kyle some Henry Ramsay-like traits.[16] Of this, executive producer Susan Bower explained "He was at school with the gang and he's been back and forwards quite a lot, and we certainly feel that he has a future for the show - in much the same way as Henry Ramsay was sort of the handyman around the place. We've got some good plans for him."[16] Kyle has been employed at both Charlie's and Erinsborough Motors, but he had dreams of opening his own handyman business.[13][14] During an interview with Digital Spy in June 2011, Milligan revealed Kyle would eventually start his own handyman business, which would bring him into contact with all of the Ramsay Street residents.[7] Kyle later became involved in a storyline that saw his business threatened by the development of a new shopping complex.[12] Milligan said Kyle was "pretty laid-back" and would become an unexpected friend to some of the characters.[7] In August 2011, Bower told Daniel Kilkelly of Digital Spy, that Kyle was a guy with double standards, who "goes out and shags indiscriminately, but the girl he wants to marry has to be an angel."[12] She revealed the writers were going to challenge this aspect of the character.[12]
Family
In May 2011, Milligan stated that it would be fun to see some of Kyle's friends and family introduced to the soap.
In January 2012, new executive producer Richard Jasek revealed that Kyle's grandmother was being cast and it was later announced that Colette Mann had received the role of Sheila Canning.[20][21] Sheila comes to Erinsborough to make a surprise visit to Kyle, but after she meets his neighbours and begins to like the life he has, she decides to stay. Of Kyle's relationship with his grandmother, Milligan told a What's on TV writer "The Cannings are a very close, working-class family and his gran rules the roost. He adores her, but also knows that he needs to keep a tight rein on her when it comes to him making his own decisions. She is also quick to judge people."[19] Milligan said that Sheila does not approve of his relationship with Jade Mitchell (Gemma Pranita) as she perceives her "independence as arrogance".[19]
The Canning family was expanded again in late 2012 with the introduction of Kyle's cousin
Relationships
Kate Ramsay
"Any action for Kyle is good action, but deep down he wants a girlfriend - even though he still likes to put on a bit of a show."[5]
—Milligan on Kyle's love life (2011)
In January 2010, Kyle goes on a date with
Kyle worries about competing with Mark for Kate's affections, as he is not as intelligent and successful as him. Kyle also knows Kate is very smart, which further dents his confidence.[7] When Mark learns Kyle is interested in Kate, he asks her out, but is later forced to postpone the date.[24] Kyle decides to take advantage of the situation and invites Kate to spend the evening watching films with him. Kate accepts and enjoys the time she spends with Kyle.[24] Mark later accuses Kate of trying to make him jealous and Kate decides to put him behind her, by agreeing to go on an official date with Kyle.[24] When asked who he thought the right woman for Kyle is, Milligan said "That's a hard one. He and Kate would make a nice couple, but I think he needs someone who is going to challenge him."[25]
Natasha Williams
Following her split from Andrew Robinson (Jordan Patrick Smith), Natasha Williams (Valentina Novakovic) starts dating Kyle.[26] The following month, she decides to dump him, but to her surprise, Kyle gets there first. TV Soap explained Natasha grows bored of Kyle's company, but Kyle also becomes bored with his younger girlfriend and he "wastes no time severing their ties."[26] Kyle's actions embarrass Natasha and he agrees to let her pretend that she dumped him.[26] She then lies to Andrew that "she's kicked Kyle to the curb", instead of the other way around.[26]
Jade Mitchell
When asked who she would like to see her character, Jade Mitchell, find love with, Gemma Pranita suggested Kyle.
When Jade was given a chance to work in the United States, she and Kyle began a long-distance relationship.[31] Upon her return to Erinsborough, Jade invited Kyle to accompany her back to the US. However, after learning that Jade would be away for a year, Kyle made it clear that his life was in Erinsborough. A devastated Kyle then decided to break up with Jade, even though he still loved her.[31]
Georgia Brooks
When Kyle supported
Georgia later ended her relationship with Scotty. When asked if Kyle would "step up to the plate", Milligan stated "I think he's almost scared by his feelings for Georgia. He's one of those guys that when he gets a girl he thinks is right, he wants to marry her."[34] When Kyle came to Georgia's place to fix the pool, she offered to put some sunscreen on his back and TV Week's Thomas Mitchell declared that "the electricity is off the grid!".[34] However, Georgia's aunt, Angie (Lesley Baker), interrupted them.[34] Georgia got back together with Scotty and they became engaged.[35] However, when Kyle learned that Scotty had made sexual advances towards Chris Pappas (James Mason), he told Georgia the truth and Scotty left town.[35] Milligan told an Inside Soap writer that Kyle had "a knack for finding the most complicated girls."[36] Kyle and Georgia eventually began dating when Kyle helped Georgia clear her name after she was accused of stealing drugs from the hospital. When they believed their relationship was in a good place, Kyle and Georgia had sex with each other for the first time.[36]

Departure and return
In April 2015, Milligan's co-star and then partner Jenna Rosenow told Noel Murphy of The Weekly Review that she and Milligan were set to leave Neighbours later that year to pursue careers in Los Angeles.[41] In March 2016, Daniel Kilkelly (Digital Spy) confirmed Milligan had left the show and added that Kyle would be on-screen for "a few more weeks."[42] Kilkelly also reported that Milligan filmed his final scenes at the end of 2015.[43] Kyle made his final appearance on 8 April 2016.[44] His exit storyline saw him reunite with Georgia, before being caught up in an explosion at Lassiter's Hotel. After surviving the disaster, Kyle decides to "put his own happiness first" and leaves Ramsay Street with Georgia, who has secured a nursing job in Europe.[43]
Kyle made a brief return from 15 September 2016.[45] Milligan said that he always knew he would come back to finish Kyle's storyline off properly, before making the move to Los Angeles permanent.[46] Kyle returns to Erinsborough for Sheila's 60th birthday, and to check that his father is "doing the right thing" by his sister.[46] Xanthe is the first to realise that Kyle is back, after some of Sheila's gnomes go missing and she sets a trap for the thief. Sheila is delighted to see Kyle and have her family together again, but he is not pleased to see that Gary has been released from prison and welcomed back.[47] After speaking with Toadie, Kyle is prepared to give his father a second chance. When Sheila asks him how long he is planning on staying for, Kyle makes it clear that he wants to leave before Amy returns.[47] However, Kyle and Amy later come face to face, and she ends up "lashing out" at Kyle because he does not acknowledge how much he hurt her and Jimmy by leaving. Amy decides to move out of the Canning house, leading Jimmy to confront Kyle for disrupting their lives.[48]
Reintroduction
Milligan later reprised the role full time,[49] and he returned during the episode broadcast on 2 April 2019.[50] Kyle returns to Erinsborough and interrupts his father proposing to his former girlfriend Amy Williams (Zoe Cramond).[51] Cramond described the moment as "weird" and explained, "Kyle turns up out of the blue. No one knows he is coming, even Sheila – who usually knows everything! Amy can tell that something is going on."[51] Kyle reveals that he has returned as Paul has offered him Amy's former job of overseeing the Robinson Pines housing development, which means they will have to work together during a handover period. Gary suspects that Paul wants to try and get Kyle and Amy back together, and Amy does not believe her father when he tells her that is not the case.[51] Kyle also explains that he and Georgia have separated.[51]
Departure
On 14 March 2022, Kilkelly (Digital Spy) confirmed that Milligan would be departing Neighbours, alongside Zima Anderson, who plays Kyle's wife, Roxy Willis, in episodes broadcast at UK pace in April. Their departures were already planned and written before it was announced that the serial was ending later in the year.[52] Later details confirmed that the couple would leave during the episode broadcast on 12 April in the UK and on 5 May 2022 in Australia.[53] Before they leave for Darwin, Kyle and Roxy learn they are expecting their first child.[53] Their departures also lead to the arrival of a new family on Ramsay Street, as Sheila sells Number 26.[53] Milligan later reprised his role alongside Anderson for the serial's finale.[54]

Reception
A writer for Holy Soap said Kyle's most memorable moment was "When he thought he had killed Zeke in the raft race disaster."[13] Of Kyle's early appearances, Sarah Ellis of Inside Soap observed "He's single, good-looking and employed – plus he's got his own wheels. What more could a woman want from a fella?"[55] A What's on TV reporter called Kyle a "lovable troublemaker", while a Channel 5 writer thought he was a "cheeky chappy."[25][56] A reporter from the Daily Record called Kyle a "wannabe-Romeo" during his pursuit of Kate.[57] Another reporter said he was a "lovable idiot", which made him irresistible to Jade.[58] Sarah Ellis of Inside Soap wondered how long Kyle and Jade's friends with benefits deal would last until they saw what the rest of the world could.[59] Following the news of the serial's cancellation, Sheena McGinley of the Irish Independent ranked Kyle the sixth best character, saying, "Kyle Canning has been through it all during his 14-year stint on the show. The thug stage, the redemptive stage, the ‘I’m channelling my rage into cheffing’ stage. Then, he got testicular cancer and is now at the post-bilateral-orchiectomy stage of proceedings. Given the show is set to cease filming in June of this year, only time will tell if he’ll get to enjoy a fitful future with Roxy."[60]
In October 2011, another reporter from the Daily Record praised Kyle's promotion to regular cast member, saying "whoever decided to bring him in on a permanent basis deserves a big pat on the back."[61] The reporter added that Kyle had been a breath of fresh air ever since he moved into Ramsay Street.[61] Cameron Adams of the Herald Sun called Jade and Kyle's relationship "bumpy" and he praised Milligan for not letting his torn Achilles stop his character from hobbling around on crutches.[62] In 2012, Milligan was nominated for Best Daytime Star at the Inside Soap Awards.[63] He received a nomination in the same category in 2014.[64] In 2021, Kyle was placed fourth in a poll ran via soap fansite "Back To The Bay", which asked readers to determine the top ten most popular Neighbours characters.[65] In a feature profiling the "top 12 iconic Neighbours characters", critic Sheena McGinley of the Irish Independent placed Kyle as her sixth choice. She assessed that the character had "been through it all" during his fourteen years in the show. She described his transformation from "the thug stage, the redemptive stage, the 'I'm channelling my rage into cheffing' stage."[66]
