Brodie appeared twice in Neighbours in 1996 and 1999, before landing the role of Dylan. Of his casting, Brodie said "Being pale and skinny, I never thought I'd be a long term Neighbours regular. I wasn't tanned or beachy. I thought that would never happen." Genevieve Doyle Genevieve "Eva" Doyle, played by Lulu McClatchy, made her first on-screen appearance on 18 March 2005. Genevieve became a love interest for Toadfish Rebecchi. McClatchy auditioned for the role of Eva and she decided to make the audition memorable for the casting team by making the role funny. McClatchy won the role and she was allowed to add some comedic lines to her scripts. McClatchy said that her character, Genevieve was a "fantastic character to play". She described her as "girly, but not a push over. She is funny, sarcastic and good fun." McClatchy said that Genevieve has many talents as she is a wrestler, a primary school teacher and a singer. She added that she loved playing the character and found the wrestling "daunting" as she had never done it before. When Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) takes up wrestling, he meets Genevieve and they decide to team up. Toadie and Genevieve are attracted to each other, but Toadie is reluctant to get involved with her,
