Archie Maddock - Tim Phillipps

[Gazza]

Tim is now appearing in Neighbours as Daniel Robinson - took me ages to realise why he looked familiar!

Yes saw this the other week that he was taking on the role, a few old faces from the bay now on ramsay street.

Yes Tim's back at Ramsay Street as he was on it playing Fox in 2007 who was a figment of Paul's imagination when he was suffering from a brain tumour.

I was always amazed by Archie's initial popularity despite only appearing very briefly on the show.

To be honest, I never understood the hype. Because as you say, he was only in it for a few scenes during a couple of episodes. But we were a bit spoilt in 2007-2008 about the exciting teens they brought in, well developed and with a good backstory. And in early 2009 we had got Xavier who was not popular at all in the beginning. Some of the other teens who still were at school, Annie and Melody weren't popular at all. And Geoff had started to loose popularity. It was signs of the new era (which we still are in), when the teens don't have real storylines but just are moping around.

So people thought that this Archie could be more exciting.... But it all comes down with the writing. Archie could have become a dull teen too, with the same writing style. And Annie, Xavier and Melody could have been more exciting, if they were written better.
