Chris Pappas (Neighbours)
For his portrayal of Chris, Mason was nominated for the Most Popular New Male Talent accolade at the 2012 Logie Awards. In 2014, Mason won the "Soap Extra" Award for Most Topical Storyline for Chris' coward punch storyline with Josh Willis. The character's inclusion in "Neighbours" and his storyline has received a positive reaction from the public, television critics and LGBT websites. Chris's coming out episode, which was broadcast on 10 August 2010, was seen by 679,000 viewers in Australia. David Knox of Citysearch Melbourne said that the inclusion of Chris in the show is "a positive step with its juvenile audience". Knox added that following the "gay kiss scandal" on "Home and Away", "the test for "Neighbours" will be not just the coming out, but whether he remains in the show after this storyline subsides". Of Chris, "SX News" said "One could simply dismiss the gay character as simply just another plot line, but there's no denying its significance, especially with a show as enduring and mainstream as "Neighbours". If anything, it's a small reflection of the changing attitudes in society". They also praised "Neighbours" for focusing on Chris's coming out and the issue of homophobia, instead of letting Chris "explode out of the closet and leave Ramsay Street glittering in sequins".
