Dylan Carter

Dylan Carter, played by Jeremy Lindsay Taylor, made his initial appearance on 1 February 2016. His casting was revealed on 5 August 2015. Taylor characterized the role as intricate and engaging, emphasizing the show's iconic reputation. Dylan is introduced as a detective who partners with Katarina Chapman (Pia Miller) upon arriving in Summer Bay. He returned to the role in 2017 and later appeared again for a guest arc in September 2019.

Dylan spearheads the inquiry into Charlotte King's (Erika Heynatz) homicide, working alongside his former fiancée Katarina Chapman and Mike Emerson (Cameron Stewart). Despite Katarina’s unease stemming from previous abuse by Dylan, they collaborate to interrogate principal suspects such as Martin Ashford (George Mason), Zac MacGuire (Charlie Clausen), and Hunter King (Scott Lee). Dylan’s forceful methods result in Ash’s arrest, though Ash is eventually exonerated. The investigation reveals evidence pointing to Zac Braxton (Nic Westaway), culminating in charges against him for Charlotte’s murder.

Zac’s attorney Morag Bellingham (Cornelia Frances) confronts Dylan, uncovering judicial impropriety where Dylan coerced a judge to refuse Zac bail. This misconduct leads to Dylan’s suspension from duty. The situation intensifies when Dylan personally confronts Katarina, resulting in a physical confrontation. Subsequently, Dylan assaults Ash, Billie Ashford (Tessa de Josselin) and Katarina, taking them hostage before being detained.

Later developments reveal Dylan’s blood and firearm on a vessel connected to amnesiac Robbo (Jake Ryan). Surveillance footage captures Dylan holding Robbo at gunpoint. Robbo recalls their altercation, which ended with Dylan being shot but surviving. Eventually, Dylan kidnaps Robbo, denying any involvement in the deaths of Robbo’s family members. After a violent clash, both men are apprehended by Australian Federal Police alongside gang leader Victor (Patrick Thompson). Weeks after these events, Dylan is reported dead while incarcerated.

Isla Schultz

Isla Schultz, portrayed by singer Samantha Jade, made her first appearance on 3 March 2016. Jade's casting was revealed on 5 September 2015, and she expressed enthusiasm about broadening her acting portfolio. Filming commenced soon after the announcement, with her role concluding in November 2016.

Isla arrives in Summer Bay carrying a troubled history and questionable motives. Jade described her character as somewhat mischievous and entangled with dubious individuals, though Isla ultimately harbors good intentions. She becomes romantically involved with Kyle Braxton (Nic Westaway).

Within the plot, Isla is dispatched by Dave Rogers to recover a debt from Kyle, which results in both being kidnapped and escaping a perilous situation. Following these events, Isla remains with Kyle, and their relationship deepens. Her ex-partner, Harry Kingswood, brings their daughters for a visit, leading to conflict when Isla takes the children without consent. Subsequent storylines involve Isla working at a brothel and an attempted armed robbery at Reefton Lakes golf club. Kyle is arrested but assumes responsibility to protect Isla’s future.

Before departing Summer Bay, Isla promises to honor Kyle’s sacrifice, referring to him as the finest man she has ever known.

Lindsay Ford

Lindsay Ford, played by Georgia Flood, appeared first on 17 March 2016. Flood was cast in October 2015 and described Lindsay as “really cool,” accepting the role despite initial reservations. She enjoyed the filming experience and expressed openness to returning.

Lindsay tries to reach out to Hunter King (Scott Lee), who ignores her calls. She visits the caravan park, introduces herself to Hunter’s girlfriend Olivia (Raechelle Banno), and reveals that she had picked Hunter up the night he left Summer Bay. Lindsay intends to stay but insists she will not interfere with Hunter and Olivia’s relationship. However, she later confesses to Olivia that she and Hunter shared a kiss. Lindsay’s presence stirs tension; Olivia ends her relationship with Hunter after Lindsay suggests they were more than friends and is spotted with him. Lindsay organizes a beach party, engineers a photo scandal involving Olivia, ultimately causing Hunter and Olivia to break up. She confronts Olivia at the diner and attempts to rekindle things with Hunter, who rejects her advances. Lindsay steals Alf Stewart's (Ray Meagher) ute, resulting in Hunter being injured while trying to stop her. Lindsay escapes but is warned by Olivia to leave town or face legal consequences.

Mick Jennings

Mick Jennings, portrayed by Kristian Schmid, debuted on 5 May 2016 as the long-lost son of established character Irene Roberts (Lynne McGranger). Irene had previously disclosed that she was raped at age 14 and gave birth at 15 before placing the child for adoption. Mick was later revealed as the rapist of Billie Ashford (Tessa de Josselin), a storyline described as “dark,” portraying Mick as a “twisted” antagonist.

Mick arrives claiming to be Chris Harrington’s uncle, gaining Irene’s confidence before abducting her. He then reveals his true identity as her son, which she initially denies. When attempting to kidnap Olivia Fraser Richards (Raechelle Banno), police track Mick after Olivia hides her phone in his vehicle. Irene manages to escape; Mick is arrested and DNA testing confirms their relation. Billie identifies Mick as her attacker due to a tattoo he bears. After early release from a psychiatric facility, Mick returns but is tasered and apprehended for violating an AVO. He kidnaps Billie’s newborn daughter Luc Patterson but eventually surrenders after apologizing to Irene.

Several months later, Mick applies for parole but encounters hostility from Billie’s brother Martin Ashford (George Mason). Upon release, Irene initially supports him but distances herself when his past actions come to light. Mick attempts reconciliation but is rebuffed; he declines a job relocation arranged by Alf Stewart (Ray Meagher). Following additional conflicts over Luc’s custody and threats from Ash, Mick hires legal representation to pursue parental rights. After VJ Patterson absconds with Luc, Mick agrees to relocate to Western Australia for mining employment, accompanied by Irene who assists him in adjusting. Later on, Mick experiences a mining accident with Irene providing care during his recovery.

Tori Morgan

Tori Morgan, portrayed by Penny McNamee, made her first appearance on 5 May 2016. Announced on 22 November 2015, McNamee described the role as her "dream job" and began filming in early November, expressing appreciation for the support from co-star Georgie Parker. Tori is introduced as a doctor seeking a new beginning in Summer Bay, carrying with her some "dark secrets". She is the first among the Morgan siblings to arrive, tasked with determining whether Summer Bay is a safe environment for her brothers.

Brody Morgan

Brody Morgan, played by Jackson Heywood, debuted on 7 June 2016. Heywood, who had previously appeared on the series in 2009, was cast alongside James Stewart and Orpheus Pledger as Brody's brothers; their casting was revealed on 5 December 2015. Filming commenced during the week of 7 December. Heywood anticipated that viewers might compare the Morgans to the Braxton brothers introduced in 2011 but emphasized that their storyline and relationships offer a distinct dynamic. Brody is depicted as a chef with significant aspirations.

Justin Morgan

Justin Morgan, brought to life by James Stewart, also first appeared on 7 June 2016. His casting, alongside Jackson Heywood and Orpheus Pledger as his siblings, was announced on 5 December 2015, with filming starting the week of 7 December. This role marked Stewart’s return to acting after taking a year off to care for his daughter. He focused on building the new family’s dynamic rather than drawing parallels with previous characters such as the Braxton brothers. In August 2017, Stewart was longlisted for Best Daytime Star at the Inside Soap Awards, although he did not proceed to the final shortlist.

Mason Morgan

Mason Morgan, portrayed by Orpheus Pledger, also made his debut on 7 June 2016. His casting was announced simultaneously with his on-screen brothers. Pledger relocated from Melbourne to Sydney for this opportunity. Mason is characterized as a medical student juggling academic demands alongside maintaining an active social life and fitness routine, known for his optimistic attitude and strong moral values.

Tabitha Ford

Tabitha Ford, played by Eliza Scanlen, appeared as a recurring character and student from 21 July to 27 September 2016. Recognized as a disruptive force at Summer Bay High, Tabitha's storyline centered around manipulative conduct toward fellow student Olivia Fraser Richards, including impersonation and tampering with exams. Her behavior sparked conflicts involving other characters and culminated in her departure to boarding school. Tabitha’s narrative explored themes of rivalry and deceit among the youth, contributing significant dramatic tension during her time on the show.

Hope Morrison

Hope Morrison, portrayed by Jessica Falkholt, was introduced on 19 September 2016. Hope works as a waitress and is established as Raffy Morrison’s aunt and Atticus Decker’s niece.

Her storyline involves elements of conflict and criminal activity: she attempts an assault on Justin Morgan after overhearing him outside her residence but is intercepted by Martin Ashford and Kat Chapman. Hope discovers that her uncle Decker was intentionally targeted in a car crash. Spike Lowe and his accomplices abduct Hope and Raffy; while Ashford rescues Raffy, Hope is taken to hospital where Spike impersonates her husband to gain access to Decker and tries to murder him, which leads to Spike’s arrest.

Hope resides at the farmhouse alongside Kat and Phoebe Nicholson but causes friction by using Phoebe’s possessions without consent. After breaking her phone, she falsely accuses John Palmer of causing the damage and demands compensation, which he refuses. Justin Morgan offers her part-time employment at the garage; however, she steals customers’ credit card information there. When caught attempting to flee, Hope is arrested and charged with theft.

Following her release, Hope learns that Raffy is Decker’s daughter and Justin’s half-sister. She steals Mason’s car intending to escape with Raffy but suffers a breakdown resulting in an accident that causes serious injury; Nate Cooper provides medical treatment. During recovery, Hope warns Raffy against trusting the Morgans, though Raffy soon uncovers their familial ties and realizes Hope is not her sister. The two decide to leave Summer Bay together.

Hope later steals money from Salt but is apprehended and remanded in custody. Struggling with solitary confinement, she receives diazepam prescribed by Nate Cooper but accidentally overdoses on sleeping medication and requires hospitalization. Before returning to prison, Hope apologizes to Phoebe, asks her to care for Raffy, encourages Raffy to trust the Morgans, and urges Justin to look after his half-sister. A year later, Hope sends Raffy a handmade birthday card while still incarcerated.

Raffy Morrison

Raffy Morrison, played by Olivia Deeble, made her first appearance on 19 September 2016. Deeble moved to Sydney to film the series and was contracted for three years. She departed from the show in 2019, with her final episode broadcast on 12 September, choosing not to extend her contract.

Raffy is introduced as the half-sibling to the Morgan family after it is revealed they share the same father, Atticus Decker. Early narratives include her narrowly escaping an abduction and subsequently moving into the Farmhouse alongside key characters such as Katarina Chapman and Phoebe Nicholson. Her intricate family history involves her mother, Kate Lee, and sister, Hope Morrison, whose legal issues affect Raffy's living situation.

At Summer Bay High, Raffy forms friendships with Eloise Page and later Coco Astoni. She faces difficulties such as bullying and complicated friendships, particularly involving Jennifer Dutton and Coco. Due to family complications, Raffy moves between homes, residing temporarily with John Palmer and Marilyn Chambers before returning to the Morgan household.

One major storyline centers on Raffy's kidnapping by Mackenzie, from which she is rescued by Robbo. She also experiences underage drinking at a fashion launch event and navigates complex relationships, including a brief romance with Ty Anderson that ends when he reveals his sexuality.

Together with Ryder Jackson, Raffy discovers a deceased person, leading to emotional distress and police involvement. She provides support to friends during personal hardships, including Maggie Astoni’s cancer diagnosis and Roo Stewart’s car crash.

Health challenges arise when Raffy is diagnosed with epilepsy following seizures. Her brother Mason develops an epilepsy oil to assist in managing her condition; however, his later arrest creates additional strain. Raffy's social network grows to include friendships with Bella Nixon and Jett James.

In terms of romance, Raffy dates Ryder Jackson but their relationship ends due to conflicting commitments. She endures heartbreak when her sister Tori enters witness protection. Professionally, Raffy accepts a medical trial opportunity in Victoria, prompting her exit from Summer Bay after leaving a farewell note for John and Marilyn.

Throughout her time on the show, Raffy's storylines emphasize family relationships, health struggles, personal development, and navigating connections within the Summer Bay community.

Jeannie Woods

Jeannie Woods, portrayed by Anna Bamford, first appeared on 1 November 2016 for a limited six-week run. She was introduced as a potential romantic interest for Brody Morgan (Jackson Heywood), arriving in Summer Bay after being invited by Evelyn MacGuire (Philippa Northeast) to participate in a charity volleyball match.

Jeannie initially bonds with Brody when she assists him in collecting dropped barbecue items. She signs up for the volleyball game paired with Matt Page (Alec Snow), while Brody offers Evelyn $1000 to join Jeannie for the final match. After briefly disappearing, Jeannie returns for a job interview at Brody’s restaurant. Despite an awkward interview, Brody hires her, and their flirtation intensifies during her training period. A kiss on the cheek sparks tension when Brody attempts to reciprocate with a kiss but is rejected.

Jeannie apologizes and considers quitting, confessing that she likes Brody but fears jeopardizing her employment. Brody later reoffers her the job, which she accepts, leading them to arrange a dinner date. Jeannie arrives upset one evening and reveals that her parents have expelled her from their home. Soon after, her father, Randall (Paul Ceaser), visits and meets Brody. Jeannie explains that her parents are survivalist doomsday preppers.

They decide to date discreetly; however, Randall catches them kissing at work. Following Brody’s insult toward Randall’s beliefs and subsequent apology, they attempt reconciliation. Nevertheless, another conflict arises after Brody jokes about doomsday preppers, causing Jeannie to end their relationship and leave the restaurant for a new position in Yabbie Creek.

Ava Gilbert

Ava Gilbert made her debut on 8 December 2016 as the daughter of Justin Morgan (James Stewart). Originally played by Grace Thomas, the role was subsequently portrayed by Alice Roberts and then recast with Annabel Wolfe in February 2023 to accommodate more mature plotlines as Ava enters her teenage years. Her reappearance in the Bay explores intricate father-daughter relationships and introduces a narrative involving her infatuation with Justin’s apprentice Theo Poulos (Matt Evans). Wolfe remarked that this development would heighten tension as Justin and Ava attempt to rebuild their connection. Ava’s defiant and resentful nature is anticipated to create further upheaval in Justin’s life. She is scheduled to return once more for Justin’s wedding to Leah in April 2024.

Ava’s initial arc focused on her realization that Justin is her father after she returns his cap. She quickly forms bonds with Justin’s fiancée Phoebe Nicholson and his sister Raffy Morrison. Disputes with her stepfather Brian Gilbert escalate, resulting in Ava running away and being struck by a vehicle, which leads to Justin gaining increased custody rights. Ava also develops relationships with Willow Harris, who was Justin’s girlfriend at the time, and endures a kidnapping incident resolved through the efforts of Justin and Colby Thorne. After Justin and Willow’s separation, Nina temporarily prohibits Justin from seeing Ava.

When Ava comes back to the Bay, she initially resists forming a relationship with Justin’s new partner Leah Patterson but gradually softens following shared experiences like playing football together. Family tensions emerge when Nina and Brian separate, prompting Justin to take a more active role in caring for Ava, including organizing camping trips and facilitating communication between Ava and Brian. After Justin’s sister Tori Morgan is hospitalized, he takes Ava on a visit to family in the Yarra Valley before returning her to Nina. Later, Justin discloses he has a spinal tumour and intends to undergo surgery, spending meaningful time with Ava before sending her back to the city due to potential surgical complications.
