Haven't heard or seen anything on Chris in a while so does this mean he went the way of Rafe on young and restless or have they simply just taken off his character?

Old news : In October 2010, the ATV News Network reported that the Neighbours writers and producers were unsure how to keep Chris connected to Ramsay Street. ATV said that the writer were "stumped" as to what to do with the character and his story. Mason is still filming for the show, but it is not known if he will be given a new contract in 2011. In the same month, Mason revealed that his character may get a romantic interest in the future. He said that it was not confirmed, but there is a chance that Chris will find someone. News information : In January 2011, a Network Ten spokesperson told SX News that Mason's role will be expanded in 2011. "Gay fans of Neighbours will be glad to know that Chris Pappas’ role with the show will be expanded in 2011". "From about April, Chris will get a lot more screen time and some episodes will see him tackle issues that every gay teenager does". Other news : Someone posted this on the forum of Neighbours : 25/01/2011 : "Tonight at the Neighbours night I had the chance to have a quick chat with James Mason who plays Chris on the show. I asked him if he was going to become a regular anytime soon and he said he was".

Anthony posted this clip, and said: "Today we'll start featuring the scenes of Chris Pappas, a gay teen on Neighbours, an Australian soap. Chris came out in a brief storyline last year and hasn't been seen much. But the show says he's about to get his own story and will be shown regularly. So we'll check him out and see where things go.
On today's show, Chris is caught between the war between his friends Tash and Summer" (Thank you Anthony )

He's actually had a couple of appearances on the show in the last ~2 weeks. Mostly showing up as Summer's supportive gay friend. Hopefully, they will give him something better to do then be in the middle of Summer and Tash's feud. I actually really like the fact that he is willing to reach out to Tash now, even though she played a big part in outing him.

LOL! I hope they let him show off his moves in an upcoming episode.
I'm not sure how I feel about Chris's storyline so far. Sure they've hooked him up with two gay guys, but the story was much more about Summer and Tash's rivalry, than it was about Chris finding love. Maybe we will see more from Chris's viewpoint soon?
Oh, and I thought it was a missed opportunity to have Chris present in last week's episode when hunky Kyle accidentally flashed a cop and several others. I'm sure he'd have enjoyed the sight of Kyle in his Aussiebums.

Wow, was not expecting that guy to (highlight to read) play gay. It's cool that they FINALLY seem to be moving forward with a gay romance for Chris. Watch him in a previous role: ;D www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwv1Fmb2Ng8

Well, that is good news. I was getting pretty bored with his ongoing role as Summer and Tash's supportive friend (Chris has been on 2-3 types a week for the last month or so). Full episodes of Neighbours are available at: www.youtube.com/user/limewireomochao and www.youtube.com/user/cickybab. Lime's channel has full episodes of Neighbours back to just before Chris came out of the closet. Chris's coming out storyline is available at: www.youtube.com/user/bth5281. And Anthony's channel has a few clips as well. Spoilers for next week's episodes, it looks like Chris will probably be in Monday's and Friday's episodes:

Another article about Chris's new love interest: www.samesame.com.au/news/local/6946/Heres-a-new-gay-Neighbour.htmThis part sounds pretty interesting: " The 26-year-old heartthrob (pictured) played Drew Curtis in Home & Away for three years until 2008, hotting up the bay with big storylines featuring much shirtlessness." Neighbours has not been stingy with the shirtlessness of many of its male leads -- so hopefully they will keep up that trend with the new guy.

Preview clip for Friday's episode courtesy of Anthony. No sign of the new love interest yet -- this preview is more about what Chris wants to do after finishing high school. Working as a mechanic seems awfully similar to a certain character from Emmerdale

Mechanic seems to be the new hairdresser or the new ballet dancer. I hope the storyline won't be as depressing as Emmerdale

Spoilers for next week's Neighbours episodes:
Provided by Natalie27994. So Chris will be for sure on during Monday's episode and probably during the couple of episodes that deal with Tash and Summer (at least in the background).

Spoilers for next week's episodes of Neighbours. It looks like Chris will be for sure on the Friday episode. Clip courtesy of BelindaNeighbour:
I don't remember his dad playing a role when Chris was outed, so it is interesting that he is making an appearance now. I thought Neighbours really could have done a lot more with his coming out a year ago -- and they should have involved his family a lot more. I guess I will have to go back and watch the clips from that part of his storyline.

Let's be honest his original coming out storyline was never about Chris it was about Summer. Chris was originally just one more obstacle to come between Summer and Andrew and when they needed Chris out the way for the summer, Andrew, Tash affair they made him gay. Caused a bIt of Drama with him being thrown out then tied the story up in a nice lynch pin when his parents took him back. The problem was that the character proved popular so they made him a regular and then they had some problems because I think that they rewrite his backstory to accommodate him being a regular. I also right now I think we are also seeing them trying to integrate the character into the DNA of the street so he's been interacting with character he didn't interact ith before.

Neighbours spoilers for next week's episodes courtesy of Cickybab:
It looks like Chris will be for sure on Monday's episode with more drama due to his dad. He will probably be on in the background Tuesday and Wednesday as support for the continuing messes that are Tash and Summer (this is my guess, based on the fact those episodes seem to revolve mainly around the girls).
