Biography
A sports fanatic, high school student Chris hit the scene as the captain of Erinsborough High's basketball team.
Having long harboured a crush on classmate Andrew, Chris broke things off with former girlfriend Summer and came out as gay.
Although heartbroken and at first convinced she was in some way to blame, Summer eventually reached out to Chris, whom she now trusts as her wingman.

I think Chris is lovely and I'm suprised there aren't a katrillion comments here about the character! The actor is so handsom too! Will neighbours dare to give him a love relationship with a happy ending?

Yeah give Chris a boyfriend and a happy ending and let his stand up to his Father and his Father accept himas he is. A nice sincere bloke who won't hurt Chris please.

I've defended the character of Chris Pappas before, particularly after the UK airing of the episode when he first "came out" and I'll say it again: I may be straight, but I've met my fair share of both gay men and gay women, they are human beings JUST LIKE THE REST OF US! Like most of us, they want acceptance, respect and one of the most often illusive things of all-UNITY. Chris may find romance with new Erisborough medic, Aidan Foster (who first appeared during the episode of where the injured Tash was escorted to hospital), but sadly, like today's world, if those two eventually get it together, they will have to withstand a helluva lot of prejudice, as homophobia is somewhat rampant in Austrailia (what a shameful feature of an otherwise beautiful country) and yes, sadly, parts of the UK too. But for now, we shall continue to see what the future has in store for Chris Pappas.

I like chris he actor makes gay people mare likeable and acceptable in today's very hostel times towards gay men I hope neighbours make use of the character and not hide him behind a bush to put it politely because there is still the oh my god factor its a gay person like no one has ever seen a gay guy they think they are going to get infected by the gay gene I hope he stays in and moves into the street that would be a major step forward with the character he needs a role model not just a partner for whatever duration of the characters life or stint on neighbours

It would also appear that Chris's blustering, overbearing father is starting to accept his son for who he is as well, despite the smack in the cake hole he got from Lucas, which he probably deserved for being in Chris's face all those times

@ Thomas Burke - The future has nothing in store for Christos Papas - as he is not real.

Georgos, I know that, you know that, WE ALL KNOW THAT! Of course he isn't real but it's OK to comment on a fictional character
