Susie McAllister

Susan "Susie" McAllister, played by Bridie Carter, made her first appearance on 4 February 2021. Carter's involvement was revealed in August 2020, with filming starting that same week. She described Susie as "a lively, engaging woman" and "strongly independent." Susan works as a real estate agent and moves from Western Australia to Summer Bay. The character was written off the show in June 2021, sparking a whodunnit plotline.

Shortly after arriving, Susie helps Tori Morgan and Christian Green find a new residence and soon sets her sights on John Palmer (Shane Withington) as a romantic prospect. Their relationship develops quickly, leading Susie to move in with John. However, she exhibits questionable actions such as scrutinizing his financial records and showing little interest in physical closeness. Susie convinces John to run against the long-time Surf Club president Alf Stewart and actively promotes fundraising for club improvements.

Leah Patterson and Justin Morgan seek Susie's assistance to purchase a home, but Irene Roberts becomes suspicious of her intentions. During a dinner intended to ease tensions, Susie secretly drugs Irene, inadvertently causing John to become ill after consuming the tainted wine. Irene’s doubts intensify when Susie's true identity is revealed through a photograph showing her real name as Imogen Simons. Susie plans to abscond with $90,000 belonging to Justin and Leah along with funds raised for the Surf Club. After rendering Irene unconscious with chloroform, she escapes, leaving John devastated.

Several weeks later, Leah encounters another victim, Stephen Tennyson (Bren Foster), who alleges that Susie stole his savings before vanishing. Despite efforts from Leah, John, and Stephen to locate her, Susie remains missing until her body is discovered in the ocean, having suffered fatal blunt trauma. Suspicious text messages sent to John following her death lead to initial accusations against Justin when Susie's phone is found in his vehicle. Leah uncovers evidence implicating Stephen at his motel. When Stephen tries to flee with Leah, he is apprehended and charged with Susie's murder.

Chloe Anderson

Chloe Anderson, portrayed by Sam Barrett, premiered on 11 February 2021. Barrett’s casting was announced in November 2020 following several auditions, fulfilling her ambition to join Home and Away. She relocated to Sydney soon after being cast to begin filming. Chloe was introduced alongside her mother, Mia Anderson (Anna Samson), both connected to established character Ari Parata (Rob Kipa-Williams), who was Mia’s former partner and had acted as a father figure to Chloe prior to his incarceration.

Chloe is depicted as an intelligent and spirited young woman sharing her mother’s sharpness and rebellious streak. She arrives in Summer Bay accompanied by Ari’s nephew, Nikau Parata (Kawakawa Fox-Reo), whom she met in New Zealand, with the goal of reconnecting with Ari. Barrett described Chloe as determined to rebuild relationships with both Ari and Nikau. Chloe also becomes romantically linked with Ryder Jackson (Lukas Radovich). Her biological father, Matthew Montgomery (James Sweeny), was introduced later in November 2021. After an 18-month tenure, Barrett’s final episode aired on 21 July 2022 when Chloe departed Summer Bay to join Mia in New Zealand.

Chloe’s early storylines involve working as a bartender at Salt and competing in a cocktail-making contest against Ryder Jackson. She reunites with Ari and confronts Mia about past deceptions concerning Ari’s absence. Opting to remain in Summer Bay, Chloe strives to strengthen her bond with Ari. Nikau aids her adjustment by introducing her to his girlfriend Bella Nixon (Courtney Miller) and assisting her in securing employment at Salt.

Mia Anderson

Mia Anderson, played by Anna Samson, made her first appearance on 11 February 2021. Announced earlier on 3 January 2021, Mia is introduced as the ex-partner of Ari Parata (Rob Kipa-Williams) and the mother to Chloe Anderson (Sam Barrett). Their introduction adds depth to Ari's history, unveiling his incarceration following the tragic loss of their infant. Mia relocated with Chloe, who was left without a paternal figure. Characterized as "a clever, determined, and resilient mother-of-one," Mia reunites with Ari in Summer Bay to retrieve Chloe. Samson departed the show on 28 April 2022 when Mia opts to leave after Ari’s passing. Chloe stays behind in the Bay, respecting Mia’s decision. Ari’s sibling Tane Parata (Ethan Browne) provides Mia with a ticket to New Zealand for a fresh start, culminating in a heartfelt family goodbye.

Mia arrives in Summer Bay after discovering that Chloe has followed Nikau Parata there. Ari attempts to reach out but learns they have moved further up the coast. When confronting Mia about misleading Chloe, she admits her intentions were to shield her daughter. Chloe chooses to remain, needing time to come to terms with everything. Ari supports her decision to stay and work on mending their relationship. Mia reveals her difficulty in revealing the truth to Chloe but insists she never intended any harm; Ari empathizes with her reasoning. Upon Chloe receiving a local restaurant job offer, Mia agrees it is a good opportunity and decides to remain in the Bay herself.

Sienna Blake

Sienna Blake, portrayed by Rose Riley, entered the series on 29 April 2021 as a modelling agent, brought in to explore the realms of modelling and photography alongside Nikau Parata (Kawakawa Fox-Reo). Her character was described as having a "scheming" nature, drawing parallels with a similarly named figure from Hollyoaks. As the narrative progresses, Sienna’s ruthless tendencies become evident, positioning her as a manipulative influence over Nikau’s career path.

Sienna approaches Nikau after noticing an award-winning photo of him and offers modelling prospects, using an internship arranged for his girlfriend Bella Nixon (Courtney Miller) as leverage to involve him. She oversees Nikau’s portfolio growth and secures him a spot in a fashion campaign, organizing social events designed to enhance his visibility and online presence. To maintain control over Nikau's career, Sienna strategically sidelines Bella by assigning her trivial tasks during shoots and encourages Allegra Freeman (Laura McDonald) to create discord between Nikau and Bella.

Her manipulative behavior escalates when she seduces Nikau amid ongoing personal struggles, complicating both his professional and romantic relationships further. After a significant incident involving Emmett Ellison (Jaime Robbie Reyne), Sienna’s role intensifies, leading her to threaten exposure of her actions to Bella unless Nikau complies with her demands.

Although she attempts professional reconciliation—offering Bella a photographer role for an urgent shoot—Sienna’s tactics alienate key individuals. Tane Parata (Ethan Browne) cautions her against continuing, and Bella confronts Sienna over Nikau’s betrayal. Eventually, Sienna loses her hold as Nikau rejects modelling and cuts ties with her after she refuses payment for his work but consents to keep away from Bella.

This storyline underscores Sienna Blake as a calculated yet ethically questionable figure within the competitive modelling industry depicted in Home and Away, highlighting themes of ambition, manipulation, and the challenges inherent in managing emerging talent.

Allegra Freeman

Allegra Freeman, played by Laura McDonald, made her first appearance on 29 April 2021, with her casting revealed on 23 April 2021. She was brought in as part of a significant storyline exploring the modelling world alongside Nikau Parata and Bella Nixon. This narrative tackled issues surrounding eating disorders and body image from both male and female viewpoints, including the impact of social media. McDonald emphasized the inclusive nature of the casting process, noting that her age and body type differed from conventional modelling standards. Allegra was portrayed as a "seductive and provocative model" closely connected to Nikau and described as having questionable ethics.

During a session with photographer Emmett Ellison, Allegra encourages Nikau to harness his emotions for Bella to enhance his performance. Their agent, Sienna Blake, organizes additional shoots aimed at advancing Nikau’s career, instructing Allegra to amplify the sensuality of the sessions and stir tension between Nikau and Bella. Allegra aids Nikau’s growth on social platforms by advising him on body confidence and supplying an appetite suppressant through a contact. When Bella asks Allegra to back off, Allegra dismisses Nikau as not her preferred type.

Under Sienna’s direction, Allegra is pressured to undermine Bella and Emmett’s photo exhibition by tampering with Nikau’s messages—deleting texts and sending deceptive communications. At a last-minute fashion shoot, conflict escalates when Bella confronts Allegra about her interference. Allegra reveals she knows about Nikau’s one-night encounter with Sienna and urges him to concentrate on the career opportunity. Despite ongoing disputes, Allegra insists that the Japan assignment represents her final chance at success.

Later, Allegra cautions Sienna that pushing Nikau away could jeopardize the trip. Ultimately, after revelations about his involvement with Sienna come to light, Nikau decides to leave the agency.

Emmett Ellison

Emmett Ellison, portrayed by Jaime Robbie Reyne, also debuted on 29 April 2021. Reyne took on the role following the cancellation of his music tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic. His character is a professional photographer featured in a modelling industry storyline centered around Nikau Parata and Bella Nixon, addressing themes of body image and social media pressures. Drawing from his own modelling experience and family connections within the industry, Reyne reprised this role in 2022, returning to offer Bella an overseas job opportunity.

Emmett first encounters Bella while photographing Allegra Freeman and invites Bella to observe his work. During a shoot with Nikau, Emmett provides guidance but steps aside when Nikau struggles, allowing Bella to step in and assist. The successful shoot impresses Nikau's agent Sienna Blake. Emmett supports Bella at an after-party and later dines with Nikau’s family. After witnessing Allegra kiss Nikau during a campaign shoot, he warns Bella about the difficulties within the industry.

He briefly dates Mackenzie Booth, though her brother Dean Thompson advises him against it. Emmett confronts Sienna over her manipulative tactics involving Nikau and Bella, encourages Bella’s talent, and proposes collaborating on a photography exhibition. Despite Sienna’s attempts to entice him back with promises of high-profile clients, Emmett refuses.

The exhibition takes place at Salt with Mackenzie’s support and is well-received until Emmett suffers corneal burns in the La Cucaracha taco van explosion, threatening his vision. After discovering Nikau's affair with Sienna, Emmett convinces Bella to proceed with the exhibition despite complications caused by deleted photos from Nikau’s shoot. When Sienna demands these images, Emmett denies possessing any copies.

Planning to relocate to New York City for work, Emmett delays informing Bella. During the exhibition, Nikau publicly professes his love for Bella, leading to a confrontation where Emmett is pushed down. Eventually, Emmett shares his move plans with Bella before leaving. Nearly a year later, he returns offering Bella a job in New York; she accepts, and they depart together.

Rachel Young

Rachel Young, brought to life by Marny Kennedy, made her first appearance on 24 May 2021. Kennedy's involvement was confirmed early that year, marking her debut in the soap opera genre. To authentically portray Rachel’s storyline, Kennedy wore a halo brace and became adept at assembling it quickly. Her entry into the narrative was characterized as somewhat abrupt.

Rachel encounters Christian Green at Blue Bird Skydiving just before attempting her initial solo jump, a present from friends following her divorce. During the jump, she experiences a serious accident resulting in an uncommon atlanto-occipital dislocation. Christian, who had recently scheduled his own lesson, provides immediate assistance and fits her with a halo brace. He offers reassurance about her chances of survival and closely oversees her rehabilitation.

As Rachel's condition stabilizes, Christian delays his wedding to Tori Morgan due to his commitment to Rachel’s care, which causes Rachel to feel guilty. Christian believes his own near-fatal experience was meant to help save Rachel. Although he intends to hand over her care to others, Rachel insists that he remains involved, implying a deeper bond between them.

Rachel regains the ability to walk and prepares for discharge once the halo brace is removed. Christian recognizes her emotions but reaffirms his love for Tori, choosing to maintain their friendship. Tragically, after leaving the hospital, Rachel is hit by a car and despite Christian’s attempts at resuscitation, she passes away.

Cash Newman

Cash Newman, portrayed by Nicholas Cartwright, first appeared on 14 June 2021. Cartwright’s casting was revealed in a promotional teaser on 8 June. Home and Away represents his inaugural television role following graduation from the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA). Prior to acting, Cartwright served six years in the military and completed a three-year program at NIDA. The COVID-19 pandemic limited his acting opportunities, prompting him to also apply for positions with the New South Wales Police Force and the Australian Federal Police while auditioning. Although he initially tried out for a different character, Cash proved to be a better match. Cartwright described joining Home and Away as an honor that provided unparalleled exposure.

Cash arrives in Summer Bay as the new police constable. Drawing on his military experience and rank knowledge helped Cartwright embody the role convincingly. He acknowledged the challenges of policing in Summer Bay, referencing previous officers’ troubled histories and the imprisonment of Cash’s predecessor. His introduction is intense, involving Justin Morgan’s arrest and leading an investigation into a death. Marketed as a "hot cop," Cartwright hinted at hidden layers within Cash’s personality, describing him as someone with "skeletons in his closet" who is less composed than he appears.

Portraying a police officer enables Cartwright to participate in both family-oriented storylines and action sequences like car chases. Cash’s sister, Felicity Newman (played by Jacqui Purvis), later joins the cast; Cartwright praised their strong on-screen dynamic, noting Felicity is the only person with whom Cash can truly relax. Furthermore, Cash embarks on a romantic relationship with Jasmine Delaney (Sam Frost). Cartwright described their romance as a rare and sincere love story within soap operas and expressed excitement about developing this plotline alongside Frost.

Logan Bennett

Logan Bennett, played by Harley Bonner, first appeared on 10 August 2021. His casting was revealed on 25 March 2021. Bonner described Logan as a trauma surgeon with "unconventional methods" who is nonetheless highly skilled and self-assured, infusing the character with a playful and lively spirit. Introduced during a mid-season cliffhanger partially filmed in Yass, Logan arrives in Summer Bay to carry out a critical surgery and chooses to remain to monitor his patient’s recovery.

Bonner portrayed Logan as somewhat of a wanderer—competent, empathetic, and intelligent. The character eventually developed into a romantic partner for Mackenzie Booth (Emily Weir). In January 2022, Bonner departed the series due to Seven Network’s COVID-19 vaccination policy; the role was not recast. Logan’s sudden exit was broadcast on 6 June 2022, concluding with him re-enlisting in the Army Medical Corps after encountering legal difficulties and ending his relationship with Mackenzie. His farewell was communicated through a voicemail apology left for Mackenzie.

Felicity Newman

Felicity "Flick" Newman, portrayed by Jacqui Purvis, made her debut on 19 August 2021. Purvis's casting was announced in April 2021 amid speculation that Flick would become romantically linked to Ethan Browne’s character, Tane Parata. Although initially auditioning for the role of Mackenzie Booth, Purvis described Flick as "a dream come true," emphasizing her complex nature that combines vulnerability with boldness.

Flick is introduced as an outspoken, confident "firecracker" who quickly captures Tane’s interest. She is revealed to be the sister of Cash Newman, Summer Bay’s newest police officer. Their shared backstory includes their father’s suicide amid farming hardships, a traumatic event that profoundly influences Flick’s impulsive tendencies. To portray this sensitively, Purvis conducted extensive research into the effects of suicide.

A major storyline culminated in Flick marrying Tane during the show’s 8000th episode on 27 March 2023. The character departed on 19 August 2024 after Purvis decided to advance her career internationally. Her exit involved a dramatic brain aneurysm plotline that concluded with Cash paying tribute to her organ donation in an emotional hospital farewell.

Theo Poulos

Theo Poulos, played by Matt Evans, first appeared on 9 September 2021. With limited prior acting experience, Evans described taking on the role as “like getting paid to go to school.” Theo was introduced as having familial ties to established character Leah Patterson (Ada Nicodemou), being revealed as her nephew.

Initially depicted as "a troubled young man in his twenties," Theo is characterized by impulsiveness but an essentially kind heart. His storyline begins when constable Cash Newman stops him for speeding; Theo admits he was expelled from home by his father, Leah’s eldest brother Dimitri Poulos (Salvatore Coco). Leah offers him a fresh start by arranging employment through her partner and mechanic Justin Morgan (James Stewart). Despite proving difficult as an employee, Theo’s complicated past and fraught relationship with his father remain central to his journey toward redemption. Dimitri returns in April 2022, reigniting unresolved family conflicts.

In May 2022, Evans received a nomination for the Logie Award for Most Popular New Talent, underscoring the character’s significance.
