Andrew Robinson is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Neighbours, played by Jordan Patrick Smith from 2009 to 2013 and in 2022. He made his first screen appearance during the episode broadcast on 13 November 1991. Shannon Holmes played the role from the character's birth in 1991 until his departure the following year. Andrew's backstory was subject to retroactive continuity to explain Smith's Scottish accent, and he had his age reduced so that he would be a teenager on his return. Andrew is the only son of Christina Alessi (Gayle Blakeney) and Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis). His storylines have included his return to Erinsborough, having an affair with Donna Freedman (Margot Robbie), fighting with his stepbrother and becoming involved in a love triangle with Natasha Williams (Valentina Novakovic) and Summer Hoyland (Jordy Lucas). In November 2012, it was announced Smith would be leaving Neighbours and Andrew made his screen departure on 29 March 2013. In 2022, Smith reprised the role for the show's final episode.
