Actor Tim Phillipps has been cast as Scott and Charlene Robinson's son Daniel in Neighbours.

Phillipps will first appear on screen in Australia on Tuesday, April 29. The same episode will be shown two weeks later on Tuesday, May 13 in the UK.

Described as a "happy-go-lucky, hippie-at-heart nature boy", Daniel Robinson will drop in on his uncle Paul (Stefan Dennis) during a road trip south, according to The Australian.

"He's not coming in with dark secrets, he's not coming in with baggage, he's just happy to be alive and soaking up life," Phillipps explained.

"He sees everything in a really positive way and it's really nice doing that every day because that flows into your real life as well. You can carry that attitude home."

The 26-year-old actor appeared on the show back in 2007 as a figment of Paul's imagination following a brain tumour.

Scott and Charlene were played by Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue in the 1980s.
