Neighbours Spoilers: First Look At New Character Cassius

Neighbours spoilers announced last week that Joe Davidson had been cast in the role of Cassius.

Joe will play the role of a handsome gardener who soon becomes a favourite among the locals, especially when he strips off in front of Sheila and Dipi. For this reason, show runners described him as a “gorgeous gardener” and “sought-after resident on Ramsay Street”.

We first see Cassius on Neighbours when Gary introduces him to Sheila, suggesting she hires him to take care of their garden. Never being one to shy away from an opportunity, Sheila hangs around while a topless Cassius gets on with his work in the garden. In fact, Cassius’ work hours seem to overlap with the times that Sheila wants to spend more time enjoying her garden… how convenient.

When Dipi visits Sheila and sees her hunky new gardener, she tries to hire him herself. But in true Sheila style she becomes possessive and blocks Dipi’s attempt to hire Cassius by arranging an exclusive contract with him.

It’s not only Sheila and Dipi that Cassius impresses, but Neighbours spoilers tease that Xanthe and David also notice the gardener’s good looks. With Aaron becoming jealous and Piper disapproving of Cassius after he was rude to her at the nursery, he might not actually be in for an easy ride in Erinsborough. This is especially true once he clashes with Ned Willis, who returns to the street to visit his sister and ex-girlfriend.

But there is more than meets the eye, and viewers will soon see that Cassius is more than just his good looks and confrontational attitude.

Joe spoke to Digital Spy, revealing how happy he is to be working on Neighbours: “I’m really enjoying it, and there is a great sense of family here. Everyone is so down-to-earth and friendly.”

Tune into Neighbours this week to watch the arrival of hunky Cassius!
