Poppy Rogers, played by Gabriella Darlington, made her first on-screen appearance on 22 September 2010.
In April 2010, it was announced that the Neighbours producers were looking for a female actress from the UK to play the role of Poppy Rogers.

She's a vegetarian, believing that every animal has a right to live, and is vocal in her opinions, which are not necessarily grounded in reality but stem from a good heart".[49] She met and befriended Malcolm Kennedy (Benjamin McNair) and his wife Catherine (Radha Mitchell), while she was backpacking around Europe.[43] Bower has said that Poppy will bring "fun" and "mischief" to Ramsay Street.[50] On the character's storylines, Bower said "Obviously [she's a visitor] from the UK. Because of the perceived meddling in a storyline, [her] part in that storyline is misunderstood by a couple of the teens. That's all I can say."[45] Fletcher said the character of Poppy is "a little bit radical and different, which will make things quite difficult for Karl".[51] He added that Poppy changes the dynamic of the house because she is "a bit wild and wacky and that will have an unsettling effect on everyone".[51] He also called the character "attractive" and said that there will not be a shortage of would be suitors.[51] In July 2010, Holy Soap revealed more details of the character's arrival, they said "[Poppy] who, after hitting Erinsborough with her cousin Ruby, will make an impression on some of its finest bachelors".[52]
Darlington later revealed that Poppy's storyline had been changed and Poppy does not go to live with the Kennedy family and her cousin get the boy's attention instead.[53] Poppy has a lot of scenes with Valentina Novakovic (Natasha Williams), Sandy Winton (Michael Williams) and Yesse Spence (Ruby Rogers).[53] Following the end of her appearance in Australia, Winton praised Darlington, calling her "fantastic" and "a breath of fresh air." He added "It was brief in the scheme of things, but I know Valentina keeps in touch with her and they're catching up over Christmas."[54]
