The following compilation presents characters introduced throughout 2017, listed according to their initial appearance, all brought in under the guidance of executive producer Jason Herbison. The show's 33rd season commenced on 9 January 2017. January saw the arrival of Andrea and Willow Somers.

Andrea Somers

Andrea Somers, played by Madeleine West, made her first appearance on 20 January 2017. West had earlier portrayed Dee Bliss, a character believed dead since 2003 following a vehicular accident involving her spouse Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney). In September 2016, West resumed filming as Dee Bliss. Yet, on 2 February 2017, it was disclosed that "Dee" was in fact an impostor named Andrea Somers, who assumed Dee’s identity to gain control over the Bliss family estate. Andrea involved her daughter Willow Somers (Mieke Billing-Smith), asserting that Willow was Toadie's offspring. After Andrea's departure, West made a surprise comeback on 14 August 2017, credited as a "Special appearance," which fueled speculation about whether this was the authentic Dee. She also featured in the season finale on 8 December 2017, observing Toadie's vow renewal from a taxi; her character's identity at this time was not disclosed. Andrea reappeared in the episode airing on 8 January 2018. It was subsequently confirmed that Andrea had been covertly watching Toadie, with speculation pointing to her being the woman seen in the taxi. Flashback scenes aired on 27 June 2018 unveiled that Andrea became pregnant after an encounter with Toadie and fled, leaving their son Hugo Somers (John Turner) in the care of Sindi Watts (Marisa Warrington). In July 2019, Andrea met the real Dee for the first time; West confirmed that they are identical twins separated at birth.

Jasmine Udagawa

Jasmine Udagawa, played by Kaori Maeda-Judge, made her first appearance on 26 January 2017 as a recurring figure. She is introduced as a businesswoman who challenges her competitor Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis). Jasmine's narrative revolves around the mystery of paternity concerning David and Leo Tanaka, shifting her attention from Paul to Leo, whom she suspects has ties to her family. To block Leo from inheriting Lassiter's, Jasmine schemes to undermine his backpackers business, aiming to force him out of Erinsborough.

Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou) grows wary of Jasmine’s intentions and uncovers a confidential file indicating Leo’s possible claim to Lassiter's. Daniel Kilkelly from Digital Spy characterized Jasmine’s aggressive maneuvers as a "u-turn" and "very intriguing," with the storyline progressing as Amy Williams (Zoe Cramond) reveals the truth behind Jasmine’s inquiry. It is ultimately confirmed that Jasmine’s suspicions about Leo were unfounded.

Jasmine partners with investor James Udagawa (Samuel David Humphrey), presenting herself as his sister to gain entry into Lassiter's affairs. She persuades their grandfather, Toshiro Udagawa (Lawrence Mah), that intervention in the family company is necessary. After examining financial documents, Jasmine urges Terese to destabilize Paul’s business but later redirects her efforts toward expelling Leo from Erinsborough.

Terese’s doubts lead her to access Jasmine’s secret dossier on Leo. Jasmine tries to bribe Leo, sowing uncertainty about their familial link. When confronted, Toshiro reaches out to Kim Tanaka (Jenny Young), who discloses that Leo and David are not related to the Udagawas but are actually Paul Robinson’s biological sons. Following this revelation, Jasmine learns that Terese has been diagnosed with breast cancer and informs her that the Udagawa board intends to retract their investment from Lassiter's.

Willow Somers

Willow Somers, enacted by Mieke Billing-Smith, first appeared on 31 January 2017. Introduced as the teenage daughter of Andrea Somers (Madeleine West), who impersonates Dee Bliss to deceive Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney), Willow claims to be Toadie's child. Executive producer Jason Herbison commended the character's complexity and Billing-Smith's portrayal, highlighting potential for future storylines. Willow departed in August 2017 to live with her father Fergus Olsen (Andrew Percy) but returned for guest spots in December 2017 and June 2019.

Willow's plotline focuses on Andrea's con aimed at Toadie by masquerading as his late wife. Willow reluctantly participates but forms a connection with Toadie through shared aspirations of becoming a pilot; he assists in enrolling her at a private school. She becomes involved in a counterfeit ID scheme and an extortion attempt targeting Elly Conway (Jodi Anasta). After fleeing with Andrea to London, Toadie tracks them via social media. Once Andrea is exposed, Willow visits Toadie in hospital following his accident involving a taxi.

On returning months later, Willow helps maintain Sonya Rebecchi's garden nursery and is offered employment there. Unable to support herself financially, she stays with Toadie before moving into an Eclipse apartment due to limited space. Discovering her father Fergus resides in Port Macquarie, she meets him; after learning about his life changes post-paralysis, she opts to live with him and his family. At her farewell party, Willow hints at romantic feelings for Ben; she later visits Sonya and Nell before departing again. She returns on Christmas Day as one of Sonya and Toadie's vow renewal bridesmaids.

Willow advises Toadie against contacting Andrea after he acquires her phone number. Later, she reveals a secret about Andrea unknown to both Toadie and Sonya. When a private investigator locates Andrea in Perth, Willow requests no communication. The secret comes to light when Sindi Watts brings Andrea and Toadie's son, Hugo Somers, back to Erinsborough; Andrea had returned pregnant but was persuaded by Willow to avoid the Rebecchis. Toadie and Sonya assume custody of Hugo and find Andrea in a psychiatric hospital where she believes she is Dee Bliss.

Willow returns once more upon discovering her grandmother, Heather Schilling, masquerading as "Alice Wells," the Rebecchis' nanny. Upon uncovering Heather’s poisoning of Sonya, Willow warns Toadie, facilitating Sonya’s rescue. Despite family upheaval, Toadie reassures Willow that she remains part of their family. Following Sonya's death from ovarian cancer, Willow attends her memorial service.

Subsequently, Willow stays in Erinsborough after Andrea contacts Toadie about reconnecting with Hugo while monitoring for potential scams. It is revealed that Dee Bliss is alive; Andrea and Heather seek her out but Andrea pushes Dee off a cliff and resumes impersonating her to defraud Toadie. When Dee arrives on Ramsay Street, Willow struggles initially to differentiate between the twins but ultimately aids in apprehending Andrea, who is hospitalized with fractured ribs. Disowning Andrea, Willow returns to Port Macquarie but maintains contact with Dee via Skype after learning they are twins. Following Dee’s prison visit the subsequent year, it is revealed that Willow has passed her final exams and commenced pilot training.

Finn Kelly

Finn Kelly, brought to life by Rob Mills, made his first appearance on 15 March 2017. Details about the casting and character were revealed on 15 November 2016, with Mills commencing filming soon after. Introduced as a forward-thinking and well-regarded educator at Erinsborough High, Finn was hired by Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne). Additionally, he is unveiled as the former partner of Elly Conway (Jodi Anasta). Executive producer Jason Herbison described Finn as "a truly captivating character" harboring unforeseen secrets. After initially appearing in a guest capacity, Johnathon Hughes from Radio Times labeled Finn "one of the most sinister figures ever to appear on Neighbours." Mills returned to portray Finn in 2018 and was elevated to the main cast in 2019.

Mishti Sharma

Mishti Sharma, played by Scarlet Vas, entered the series on 18 April 2017. She is introduced as the sibling of Dipi Rebecchi (Sharon Johal) and arrives in Erinsborough alongside Dipi's spouse, Shane Rebecchi (Nicholas Coghlan). Coghlan remarked that Mishti provides emotional support to Shane during his decision to relocate and described her as "a close confidante" who shares "deep personal conversations" with him. While seeking a new beginning in Erinsborough, Mishti carries an underlying sadness hinting at a concealed history.

Dipi Rebecchi

Dipi Rebecchi, portrayed by Sharon Johal, debuted on 24 April 2017. Although initially auditioning for the role of Mishti Sharma, Johal was cast as Dipi after producers revised the character's concept. Dipi is married to Shane Rebecchi (Nicholas Coghlan), who is the elder brother of the established character Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney). The family returns to Erinsborough after a 22-year absence, settling in with their daughters Yashvi (Olivia Junkeer) and Kirsha (Vani Dhir). Dipi is depicted as lively and cheerful, spreading positivity among those around her. She also takes over the lease of Harold Café, becoming an active participant in the local business scene.

Kirsha Rebecchi

Kirsha Rebecchi, enacted by Vani Dhir, first appeared on 24 April 2017. The role was secured through Dhir’s involvement with the Young Australian Broadway Chorus stage school. Kirsha is Shane and Dipi Rebecchi’s younger daughter, portrayed as bright yet reserved, facing challenges adapting to life in Erinsborough. Dhir exited the show on 22 November 2019 when Kirsha relocates to Sydney for a scholarship opportunity, with occasional returns throughout 2020.

Kirsha arrives alongside her family as Shane rents their residence and acquires Harold's Café for Dipi. Initially feeling apprehensive about the move, she forms a friendship with Jimmy Williams and reconnects with her dog, Clancy. Kirsha engages in several community and school initiatives, including advocating for a solar-powered lawnmower and participating in musical performances. She experiences minor burns and hearing impairment from a fireworks accident, prompting her to learn sign language with assistance from her family. Despite facing bullying at school, Kirsha develops resilience and forges meaningful friendships.

Her hearing eventually recovers, allowing her to support friends such as Jimmy in their romantic endeavors. Kirsha encounters difficulties including accusations of vandalism linked to a family photoshoot campaign and being held hostage during a gas leak incident at school. Following her family’s decision to move in with uncle Toadfish Rebecchi after selling their home, Kirsha champions a campaign to retain a favored teacher at school through petitioning.

Feeling undervalued, Kirsha expresses interest in applying for a scholarship in Sydney. Although initially hesitant due to her anxiety issues, with Toadie’s endorsement she gains acceptance and departs independently to demonstrate her maturity. She returns briefly for family occasions such as New Year festivities and Yashvi's police academy graduation before attending science camp.

Yashvi Rebecchi

Yashvi Rebecchi, brought to life by Olivia Junkeer, made her first appearance on 24 April 2017. Announced on 27 March 2017, she is the eldest daughter of Shane (Nicholas Coghlan) and Dipi Rebecchi (Sharon Johal). Yashvi is depicted as a lively and confident individual who thrives on attention and enjoys pushing limits—not so much out of mischief but more as a calculated opportunist. On 5 July 2021, Junkeer revealed her decision to leave Neighbours after a tenure of four and a half years, motivated by the departure of her on-screen family and a wish to pursue new opportunities. Her final episodes were broadcast the following week.

Jeremy Newell

Jeremy "Jezza" Newell, portrayed by Robbie Ryde, first appeared on-screen on 22 June 2017. Ryde, who had previously worked as an extra on the series, was cast as a carpenter who attends social gatherings with Amy Williams (Zoe Cramond). Ryde described Jeremy as an antagonist whose views sharply contrast with his own. His storyline included confrontations such as making homophobic remarks toward David Tanaka (Takaya Honda) during a party hosted by Amy. These offensive comments led Amy to threaten his removal from the event, resulting in his exit.

Mannix Foster, played by Sam Webb, was introduced on 26 June 2017. Webb’s casting was announced in March 2017, with Mannix presented as a friend from Leo Tanaka (Tim Kano)’s past. Characterized as "a problematic figure from history," Mannix is falsely accused of being an informant and seeks assistance from Leo after suffering a stabbing injury. David Tanaka, Leo’s brother, provides medical care while it emerges that Mannix was blamed for tipping off authorities about illegal activities at a nightclub. Following threats from Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis), Mannix vanishes from the area. He made brief returns in late 2018 and early 2019, and reprised the role in March 2020 when Mannix was revealed to have scammed Paul’s acquaintance Jane Harris (Annie Jones).

Leo arranges for Mannix to stay at Robinsons motel, co-owned by Stephanie Scully (Carla Bonner), who grows suspicious due to frequent visitors and discovers a stash of money in his room. Paul orders Mannix to leave within the week. Mannix encounters Elly Conway (Jodi Anasta), who recognizes him from Sydney’s nightclub scene. After disclosing his stabbing incident, David provides further medical treatment. Leo explains that Mannix took responsibility for exposing the Renshaws’ money laundering via the nightclub. As Mannix’s health deteriorates, David resorts to stealing morphine to aid his recovery.

Paul later intimidates Mannix through hired enforcers before having him admitted under an alias at a regional hospital. The following year, Paul claims he abandoned Mannix in the wilderness; however, Leo discovers he is alive after meeting him through Delaney Renshaw (Ella Newton). Mannix admits deceiving Delaney’s father by blaming Leo as the informant and attempts to blackmail David over stolen hospital drugs. After David reports himself to authorities and Paul confronts him, Mannix departs town.

In retaliation against Paul, Mannix cons Jane Harris out of her savings through catfishing schemes. When Paul demands repayment, Mannix asserts that the money was spent on a vehicle and threatens to expose incriminating messages exchanged with Jane. Paul coerces Mannix into selling the car and working for him to settle the debt. Jane confronts Mannix about the fraud but rejects his efforts at reconciliation.

Subsequently, Mannix moves in with Mackenzie Hargreaves (Georgie Stone) to share rental costs but remains secretive by locking his room and limiting visitors. During a police raid involving Mackenzie and Harlow Robinson (Jemma Donovan), Mannix flees but is later apprehended at Paul’s residence after offering stolen electronics as payment for his debt. He is arrested following identification by Harlow and her partner Hendrix Greyson (Benny Turland), confessing that he had been surveying homes for burglary.

Evan Lewis

Evan Lewis, played by Joe Klocek, made his first appearance on 7 July 2017. Introduced as a competing mechanic to Ben Kirk (Felix Mallard), Evan was brought on board by Tyler Brennan (Travis Burns) as an apprentice at Fitzgerald Motors, possessing more expertise than Ben. He also emerged as a possible romantic interest for Yashvi Rebecchi (Olivia Junkeer), sharing a mutual enthusiasm for BMX biking.

Evan quickly gained recognition at the local garage due to his mechanical proficiency. His relationship with Yashvi involved collaborative bike repairs and social interactions, although their connection became strained when Yashvi uncovered that Evan was the anonymous online harasser targeting Piper Willis (Mavournee Hazel). After a confrontation involving a vehicular accident and subsequent blackmail, Evan resigned from his position. Following intervention by the police, led by Yashvi’s aunt Mishti Sharma (Scarlet Vas), Evan was taken into custody and placed under a 12-month good behaviour bond, concluding his storyline in Erinsborough.

Fay Brennan

Fay Brennan, portrayed by Zoe Bertram, first appeared on-screen on 28 July 2017. Bertram's casting was publicized in July 2017; she had previously appeared on the series in 2011. Fay is the mother of Mark, Aaron Brennan, and Tyler Brennan. Her introduction followed the passing of actor Russell Kiefel, who portrayed their father, which necessitated adjustments to the storyline. Fay’s arrival ignited family tensions, particularly with Tyler and Aaron, stemming from unresolved past issues and secrets. Bertram returned to the role in 2020 and early 2021 as Fay’s Huntington’s disease progressed, culminating in the character’s death on 8 March 2021.

Fay comes to Erinsborough seeking to reconnect with her sons. While Mark greets her warmly, Aaron remains doubtful. She offers Tyler an apology for abandoning them with their abusive father, Russell, and discloses having had an affair that cast doubt over Tyler’s paternity. This revelation sparks conflict, especially with Tyler, who initially distances himself from her. Fay later returns to provide support during family crises including Russell’s death and Tyler’s legal difficulties.

She briefly takes charge of The Waterhole but steps down due to family matters. Fay funds Chloe Brennan’s lifestyle until Chloe begins repaying her debts. Upon discovering Fay suffers from Huntington’s disease, Chloe urges her to undergo testing; after confirming the diagnosis, Fay opts to relocate to Bali for care.

Fay makes appearances at significant family occasions such as Mark and Elly’s wedding, where tensions arise following revelations of infidelity. As her condition worsens, Fay alternates between Adelaide and Erinsborough with assistance from her family. Chloe and her husband Pierce modify their home to accommodate Fay’s needs and employ a live-in nurse, Nicolette Stone. Despite underlying conflicts involving Chloe and Pierce, Fay develops a strong bond with Nicolette.

As Fay’s health rapidly declines and she contracts pneumonia from an infection, she comes to terms with her prognosis and passes away peacefully surrounded by loved ones. Her funeral takes place in Adelaide.

Throughout her arc, Fay’s character explores themes of family healing, coping with illness, and caregiving within the Brennan family framework.

Hamish Roche

Hamish Roche, played by Sean Taylor, made his debut on 4 September 2017. Introduced as the biological father of Tyler Brennan, Hamish arrives after revelations about Tyler's mother, Fay Brennan, having an affair. Characterized as a "smooth operator," he seeks to establish a connection with Tyler and his siblings while hiding complicated family secrets.

Hamish becomes involved in real estate transactions, including attempts to claim a boat left by Russell Brennan—Tyler’s presumed father—with the intention of evading significant tax liabilities by fleeing the country alongside his partner Louise McLeod. He manipulates Tyler by undermining his position at the garage and fabricating evidence suggesting infidelity involving Tyler’s girlfriend, Piper Willis, thereby isolating Tyler from his family.

His criminal behavior intensifies when he poisons Louise to prevent her from revealing their part in altering Russell’s will and his murder. Nevertheless, Louise recovers, absconds with the boat, and exposes Hamish’s bankruptcy and illegal activities to Tyler. At a confrontation during the Guy Fawkes Gala, Tyler accuses Hamish of murdering Russell. Subsequently, Hamish is found dead, leading to Tyler's imprisonment following his confession to a physical altercation. Months later, Hamish’s other son, Cassius Grady, discloses that he drowned Hamish after Tyler had left.

Cassius Grady

Cassius Grady, portrayed by Joe Davidson, first appeared uncredited on 6 November 2017, with his casting officially announced on 18 May 2018. Davidson described the cast as a welcoming "family." Cassius works as a gardener and is revealed in August 2018 to have a dark secret: he killed his father, Hamish Roche. The character departed on 6 November 2018.

Initially, Cassius advertises his gardening services around Ramsay Street and is employed by Sheila Canning to maintain her garden. He also works at the nursery for Dipi Rebecchi and Sonya Rebecchi. Early on, he apologizes to Piper Willis after accidentally damaging her apples. Although initially doubted by Karl Kennedy, Cassius gains employment and begins a romantic relationship with Piper, complicated by her unresolved feelings for her imprisoned ex-boyfriend Tyler Brennan. Their relationship advances after Piper learns Cassius is the anonymous book annotator she admired.

Cassius assists Xanthe Canning with physiotherapy following an injury but declines to move in with her due to her romantic interest in him. When Piper accepts a new position elsewhere, Cassius takes over her role at the nursery. Their bond strengthens despite Piper's struggles with memories of Tyler, which trigger flashbacks for Cassius connected to past rescues and his troubled family background.

The arrival of Cassius' mother, Elissa Gallow, brings to light his dark history: he drowned Hamish in a spa and let half-brother Tyler take the blame. Cassius remains in Erinsborough under the guise of a gardener to retrieve a medallion lost during that night. Despite Elissa urging him to flee, he chooses to stay for Piper.

Tensions rise when Bea Nilsson discovers Cassius accessing Tyler’s legal documents without permission. After conflicts involving Bea and Piper, Cassius consents to attend therapy and consummates his relationship with Piper. Upon learning Elissa intends to escape to Senegal, he invites Piper to join him; she refuses. When Piper confronts him as he attempts to leave town, Cassius admits to killing Hamish; she then notifies authorities who arrest him.

At the police station, Cassius initially refuses to speak until assured of his mother’s safety but ultimately confesses and is transferred to Warrinor Prison. He apologizes to Sheila for the consequences of Hamish’s death; she accepts this knowing how Hamish mistreated the family. Although requests for contact with Piper are denied, visits from Bea, Ned Willis, and Tyler underscore the repercussions of Cassius’ actions. Following an assault in prison that requires surgery—arranged indirectly by Ned—Piper experiences a pregnancy scare but eventually says farewell to Cassius upon confirming she is not expecting.

Rory Zemiro

Rory Zemiro, brought to life by Ash Williams, first appeared on 7 November 2017. This character represented Williams' shift from comedic roles to dramatic acting, portraying a multifaceted individual working as an exotic dancer and yoga teacher. Rory is the ex-partner of Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson), having initially met years earlier through their involvement in a dance company.

Rory tracks down Aaron in Paris using social media and invites him to attend a Rough Trade troupe tour. Subsequently, he travels to Erinsborough and witnesses Aaron's boyfriend David Tanaka (Takaya Honda) propose marriage. After sustaining a back injury at Aaron's gym, Rory receives treatment from David and later accepts a yoga instructor position offered by Amy Williams (Zoe Cramond). He motivates Aaron to rejoin Rough Trade and covers for him during an audition.

David uncovers the history between Rory and Aaron, including their meeting in Paris, which creates friction and leads to the end of his relationship with Aaron. Rory endeavors to reignite his relationship with Aaron, even sharing a kiss, but Aaron resists these advances. When Rough Trade fan Mick Allsop (Joel Creasey) arrives, Rory reveals Mick caused damage to his motel room and meets him at Erinsborough Backpackers. After showing Aaron evidence of David's online dating activity, Rory and Aaron spend the night together.

Aaron confronts Rory upon learning that Mick was involved with Rory during their relationship and that Rory may have ended things to avoid commitment. Despite Rory’s denials, messages from Mick confirm the reality, prompting Aaron to ask Rory to remove himself from his life.

Joanne Schwartz

Joanne Schwartz, portrayed by Val Lehman, made her debut on 1 December 2017. Lehman’s casting was announced on 5 September 2017, reuniting her with former Prisoner co-star Colette Mann during filming at Nunawading studios. Joanne is introduced as an old acquaintance of Sheila Canning (Mann), described as an "unexpected blast from Sheila's colourful past." The relationship between Joanne and Sheila is marked by notable tension.

Once best friends in high school, Joanne and Sheila’s friendship deteriorated due to a misunderstanding involving tickets to see Daddy Cool and Joanne inviting Sheila’s future husband, Frank Canning, to their school dance. Years later, Joanne visits Erinsborough seeking reconciliation; she begins by reminiscing but soon reveals lingering bitterness over their previous disputes. She mocks Sheila’s upcoming one-woman show but later admits jealousy over Sheila winning Frank’s affection and confesses she was responsible for buying the Daddy Cool tickets but became distracted. The storyline concludes with Sheila suggesting they attend a concert together if Joanne purchases the tickets.
