Stuart lived with Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) and Connor O'Neill (Patrick Harvey) at number 30, during which time the house became known as "The House of Trouser". Stuart's storylines included becoming a policeman, temporarily losing his eyesight, joining a cult, which almost cost him his friendships, and marrying Sindi Watts (Marisa Warrington). Stuart departed on 5 April 2006 after McDonough quit to pursue other projects. The actor reprised the role for three episodes from 13 February until 15 February 2018. Stu made an unannounced cameo appearance in the final episode on 28 July 2022. Casting In 2001, McDonough became a runner-up in the first series of Australian Big Brother. His "good looks and down-to-earth personality" attracted the attention of the Neighbours''' producers. McDonough had to audition for the role of Stuart. He was offered the part, which was initially for three months. McDonough began filming with the show in August 2001. Shortly before his debut episode aired, he had his three-month contract extended to six months. This was then extended to one year. Development Characterisation and introduction McDonough found that he was very similar to Stuart. He told Jason Herbison of Inside Soap, "There's a lot of him in me. He's a fairly straightforward guy, who's just out to have a good time." McDonough also said that he and his character were both from the country, but Stuart was more naive than he was. Stuart, or "Chooka" as he is nicknamed, comes from Oakey, the home town of fellow Neighbours character Drew Kirk (Dan Paris). He is introduced as the younger brother of one of Drew's friends. He first appears at the Oakey Rodeo, where Drew is competing. A week later, Stuart follows Drew to Erinsborough, and McDonough said Stuart plans on "making a name for himself in the big smoke." Stuart immediately wins people over with his "country charm".
