Imogen Willis is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Neighbours, played by Ariel Kaplan. The actor was cast in the role after a quick process, in which she auditioned once and attended a screen test. She began filming her first scenes in early February 2013. Kaplan's character and her family were created and introduced to Neighbours, as part of an ongoing overhaul of the show's cast and renewed focus on family units within the show. She made her first screen appearance during "Episode 6646", which was broadcast on 20 May 2013. Kaplan returned in the first episode of the 2023 Neighbours revival.
Imogen is portrayed as being "intelligent", "creative" and "confident". Kaplan thought her character was a good role model for female viewers because she does not feel she has to impress anyone. Imogen initially tried to hide her insecurities and resentment at being sidelined by her family due to her brother's swimming career. Due to a lack of attention, Imogen developed bulimia nervosa. The storyline was the first to portray the issues of eating disorders in Neighbours for six years. Both Kaplan and the producers worked closely with the Butterfly Foundation during their research.
The character's other storylines have often revolved around her romantic relationships with Mason Turner (Taylor Glockner), Tyler Brennan (Travis Burns), and Daniel Robinson (Tim Phillipps), whom she married before leaving for a job opportunity in the United States on 26 April 2016. Kaplan reprised the role three years later, and returned on 22 March 2019. Imogen helps run Toadfish Rebecchi's (Ryan Moloney) law firm and becomes Finn Kelly's (Rob Mills) defence lawyer, which causes conflict with her family and neighbours.
