 In 2009 , Neighbours became the first Australian series to establish Twitter accounts for its characters . Donna was one of four characters to have an account set up , with the others being Declan , Ringo and Zeke . They began sending daily updates to their fans , giving advice and talking to each other . The updates are " complementary to the show 's on @-@ air storylines " . FremantleMedia Enterprises vice @-@ president of licensing Ben Liebmann said , " We thought it was a really great way to continue or allow the audience to engage with the Neighbours world off @-@ screen " . The messages are overseen by the Fremantle digital team , which is integrated with the story department of the Neighbours production team .
