Callum Jones is a fictional character on the Australian soap opera "Neighbours". He is portrayed by child actor Morgan Baker. He made his first appearance on episode 5471, introduced to Toadie Rebecchi (portrayed by Ryan Moloney) by Stephanie Scully (Carla Bonner) as someone for Toadie to spend time with.cite web |url=http://www.neighboursepisodes.com/index.php?year=2008&episode=5471 |title=Neighbours Episode 5471 from 2008 |accessdate=2008-07-12]

Background

A storyline was originally planned for Toadie's character, where he was going to adopt an Indonesian child, however when new "Neighbours" executive producer Susan Bower took over the show, she decided to change the plot, as she felt it would be too complicated to write, and instead introduced Callum, who Toadie would take care of [cite web |title=Future of Neighbours video from Neighbours.com.au |url=http://neighbours.com.au/video.htm?vxSiteId=ac9e06cb-4a1f-4eb0-b20f-c2f3429294b8&vxChannel=Behind%20The%20Scenes&vxClipId=2497_08N_BTS_0005&vxBitrate=300 |accessdate=2008-07-12] . Callum comes from a complicated family life, where his "addict mother" left him when he was six years old, and he never met his father. He has been under the care of his elderly grandparents, however they are finding it difficult to cope with his hyperactivity. He is described as smart, sharp, funny, cunning and clever. He is drawn to people with similar qualities of his own, hence his relationship with Toadie, and is after stability in his life and affection [cite web |url=http://neighbours.com.au/callum-jones-character.htm |title=Callum Jones's profile on Neighbours.com.au |accessdate=2008-07-12] .

Callum was first introduced when Steph introduced him to Toadie, who was depressed after losing a chance at adopting an Indonesian child. He quickly bonded with Callum after they both realised they had an interest in wrestling (which Toadie has a history of). When Toadie went to take Callum home, they found his grandmother unconscious in the backyard of Callum's home. Due to his grandmother's condition, Toadie invited Callum to live with him.

When Toadie had to work one day, he left Callum in the care of neighbour Susan Kinski (Jackie Woodburne). When she and Callum went for a walk in a park, Callum managed to disappear from Susan's sight, and while looking for him, Susan, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, suffered a relapse of her condition, and collapsed in the park [cite web |url=http://www.neighboursepisodes.com/index.php?year=2008&episode=5472 |title=Neighbours Episode 5472 from 2008 |accessdate=2008-07-12] . He later showed up at the hospital where Susan was sent after being found in the park. When Susan commented that she lost her mobile phone, Callum owned up and returned it to her, unaware to her that Callum had stolen it from her [cite web |url=http://www.neighboursepisodes.com/index.php?year=2008&episode=5473 |title=Neighbours Episode 5473 from 2008 |accessdate=2008-07-12] . Callum later began to trick Toadie into letting him stay home from school by faking to be sick. While at the General Store, he found Sienna Cammeniti's (Erin McNaught) iPod, and tried to steal it, however Sienna managed to catch him in the act. He lied to her and Toadie and said that he was just looking at her playlist. Later, while playing football with Steph and Toadie, Steph dropped her mobile phone, and Callum sneakily picked it up and put it in his pocket [cite web |url=http://www.neighboursepisodes.com/index.php?year=2008&episode=5476 |title=Neighbours Episode 5476 from 2008 |accessdate=2008-07-12] . Callum later got caught out for stealing when Steph's mobile rang in Callum's bag, and when Toadie found it, he also finds other mobiles and electrical devices. Callum explained that he needed to steal the items in order to make money, as he thought he'd had to fend for himself due to no one taking care of him. Toadie explained to him that he would take care of him, though Callum didn't believe him. They later went to return everything that was stolen to the rightful owners [cite web |url=http://www.neighboursepisodes.com/index.php?year=2008&episode=5480 |title=Neighbours Episode 5480 from 2008 |accessdate=2008-07-12] .

Callum went along with the majority of the Ramsay Street residents to the bushland clean up. While running around, Daniel Fitzgerald cut down a tree that narrowly missed landing on Callum, due to Dan pushing Callum out of the way. During the clean up, a bushfire started, leaving everyone to be evacuated from the bush. Callum left the bush without harm, though later became the subject of suspicion when Steph found a lighter in Callum's jacket. Steph's boyfriend Jay believed that Callum may have started the fire, though when Steph asked him about it, Callum denied ever even seeing it. Steph passed her theory onto Toadie, suggesting that it was a cry for help, though he got angry at her for even suggesting it. Jay later started a fire on Callum's shed that Toadie and Callum had only just painted, intending to frame Callum. The fire was found by Dan, and Toadie believed that Callum had started it, though Callum denied it, with Toadie still thinking that he lied. Jay suggested to Toadie that Callum should take part in a Fire & Intervention Awareness program. Toadie took him to the program, though they ruled Callum out as likely to commit arson (it was later revealed that Jay was the arsonist).

Toadie's friend Nicola West (Imogen Bailey) moved into Number 30 recently after being kicked out of Number 26 by her family. This resulted in Callum becoming attracted to Nicola, resulting in Callum looking at pictures of Nicola on her laptop. He was caught at school with the pictures by his teacher Kelly Katsis (Katrina Milosevic), leading to Kelly speaking to Toadie and Dan about his behaviour.

Recently Callum has been helping runaway Mickey hide out at number 30, but confessed to Toadie and Dan when he found out how worried they were.
