Joe Mangel
Walter Joseph "Joe" Mangel is a fictional character from the Australian Network Ten soap opera ''Neighbours'', played by Mark Little. He debuted on-screen in the episode airing on 8 August 1988. Little later departed the serial and Joe left in 1991. In 2005 Little agreed to reprise the role as part of ''Neighbours''' twentieth anniversary celebrations and remained for four months. Joe's storylines included his bad relationship with his mother, being widowed, life as a single parent and a custody battle to keep his child. Joe is deemed as a stereotype Australian man and a likable rogue character.
==Casting==
Actor Mark Little joined the cast of ''Neighbours'' in 1988. He took up the offer to play Joe Mangel, after being black listed from various work opportunities due to his strong ties to the union and the "overtly political nature" of his solo theatre shows. The role was originally intended to last for three months. Of how he approached the part, Little wrote "I committed myself to the task. And I made the idea more palatable by deciding that I would treat it as a pop art experiment, after all, no one was watching. Little did I know that I would be dabbling with similar themes as Mary Shelley's ''Frankenstein''. Like Dr. Frankenstein, I was about to create a pop monster. The wild man, Joe Mangel."〔 Little's contract was later extended.〔
In 1991, Little decided to quit the serial when his contract came up for renewal. Network Ten told ''TV Week'' that "Mark has been with the show since June 1988 and I think he feels it's time to move on. As with any ongoing drama, it's the nature of the production." Little suffered with typecasting after his departure from the show. He commented, "Joe Mangel was my creation and he rather ungallantly went about stealing my identity in a bizarre case of metaphysical identity theft."〔
In 2005, Little agreed to reprise his role as Joe in a four-month guest capacity, as part of ''Neighbours''' twentieth anniversary celebrations. Little said that he was not sure if it was a mistake as he felt that Joe no longer fitted in because of Australia's change in culture.〔 In 2008, Little said it was unlikely he would ever return to the show again, describing Joe as "just a fond memory". In 2010, former co-star Janet Andrewartha (who plays Lyn Scully) called for Joe to return for Lyn, also wanting to work with Little again. However, Little gave confirmation that he would not return again because he felt that Joe has "had his time".
