Stuart Parker, played by Blair McDonough, made his first screen appearance on 13 December 2001. McDonough's looks and personality attracted the attentions of the Neighbours' bosses when he became a runner-up on the first series of Big Brother Australia. McDonough had to audition for the part of Stuart and he said "I didn't really prepare that much, I just went in and did it". Dan Silkstone of The Age branded Stuart a "goodnatured country boy." McDonough revealed that he and Stuart were initially similar, but as time went on he was able to turn Stuart into a character that was unlike himself.

For their own or others’ pain,
Show us ways to make a difference
O dear God, make us humane!”
