Gino featured on Neighbours on and off between 2000 and 2007. Claude Stevens played the role for Gino's first episode in 2000, but Shane took over the part for his subsequent appearances.
Gino was the owner of the A Good Hair Day salon, which employed Lyn Scully.
He's also notable for being among Neighbours' first gay male characters, paving the way for more prominent representation in subsequent years when characters like Chris Pappas and Aaron Brennan became show regulars.

Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy earlier this year, Neighbours' executive producer Jason Herbison had teased the arrival of more familiar faces at Eirini Rising following the returns of Harold and Hilary Robinson.
Herbison said: "Harold and Hilary will indeed be joined by further faces from the past, but it will happen organically. I didn't want to open the doors and suddenly bring back every older character imaginable.
"I also love that we might revisit some characters who weren't regulars in the past but have aged in the community."
Neighbours releases new episodes from Mondays to Thursdays for free on Amazon Freevee and Prime Video in the UK and US. In Australia, the show airs from Mondays to Thursdays at 4pm on Channel 10, with a 6.30pm repeat screening on 10 Peach Comedy.
