Nell Rebecchi
Nell Rebecchi, portrayed initially by Scarlett Anderson (2013–2022) and later by Ayisha Salem-Towner (2023–2025), made her debut on 7 January 2013. She is the daughter of Sonya and Toadfish Rebecchi. Anderson first took on the role as a newborn, with Morey, who played Sonya, expressing a deep appreciation for working alongside her. The character was introduced amid a storyline focusing on Sonya and Toadie's difficulties conceiving, culminating in a home birth that required a caesarean section due to complications.
Anderson’s final portrayal occurred in the 2022 season finale; upon the show's 2023 return featuring a two-year time leap, Salem-Towner assumed the role. Moloney, who plays Toadie, emphasized Nell’s greater presence following Salem-Towner's casting, highlighting the character’s progression in age.
Early narratives involving Nell addressed issues such as overreliance on technology leading to a digital detox, an incident causing her to fall that triggered a Department of Human Services inquiry, and hospitalization after a bee sting. Her behavioral challenges were linked to an influence from a mobile app, and she developed anxiety toward Toadie’s wheelchair post-accident, which was managed through imaginative therapeutic methods.
After Sonya and Toadie separated, Nell primarily resided with Sonya but continued maintaining contact with Toadie and developed a close bond with family friend Mark Brennan. She endured a significant medication overdose but was successfully treated.
Nell encountered her half-brother Hugo Somers following Toadie’s one-night encounter with Andrea Somers. With Sonya’s diagnosis and subsequent passing from ovarian cancer, Toadie assumed sole parenting responsibilities. Nell faced difficulties adapting to family changes, including the departures of Shane and Dipi Rebecchi.
She became perplexed by Amy Greenwood’s concurrent romantic involvements, sparking family conversations. Nell formed a connection with Melanie Pearson, playing a role in reconciling Toadie and Melanie. She processed her mother’s death through creative play involving a crystal ball.
An accidental ingestion of an alcoholic jelly shot left Nell temporarily impaired but she made a full recovery. She attended Toadie and Melanie’s wedding and later expressed opposition to his engagement to Terese Willis, believing he should be with Melanie. Nell covertly placed reminders of Melanie and Paul Robinson throughout the home and sought out Melanie when conflicted, which led to her being rendered unconscious by an intruder before Melanie rescued her.
Amber Turner
Amber Turner, brought to life by Jenna Rosenow, first appeared on 7 February 2013. Her casting and character introduction were revealed on 4 November 2012. Prior to this role, Rosenow had appeared as an extra on Neighbours. She described Amber as "a typical 17-year-old" embodying the "average teenage girl," while also highlighting Amber's innocence and a secret she was hiding from her family. Amber is the sole daughter of Matt (Josef Brown) and Lauren Turner (Kate Kendall). An online spin-off titled Amber's Blog chronicles Amber’s perspective during her family’s relocation from Mount Isa to Erinsborough.
Bailey Turner
Bailey Turner, portrayed by Calen Mackenzie, made his first appearance on 7 February 2013. His casting was announced alongside Amber's on 4 November 2012. Mackenzie had previously appeared in Neighbours as Thomas McPhee before successfully auditioning for Bailey. He initially signed on for a four-year contract. Bailey is the youngest offspring of Matt Turner (Josef Brown) and Lauren Carpenter (Kate Kendall). Kendall described Bailey as intellectually gifted, while the official show website depicted him as "cheeky, unconventional, and curious," self-identifying as a nerd with a distinctive outlook.
Matt Turner
Matt Turner, portrayed by Josef Brown, made his first appearance on 7 February 2013. Announced in November 2012, Matt is married to Lauren Carpenter (Kate Kendall) and is the father of Mason, Amber, and Bailey Turner. The family moves from Mount Isa to Erinsborough, where Matt takes on the position of police sergeant. Brown described the Turners as a unique family with hidden secrets and dramatic undertones.
Robbo Slade
Robert Alan "Robbo" Slade, played by Aaron Jakubenko, debuted on 15 February 2013. Having previously appeared in two other roles on Neighbours, Jakubenko’s Robbo is a friend of Mason Turner from Mount Isa. Robbo masterminded a failed factory robbery involving Mason, which resulted in Mason being arrested by his father, Matt Turner. After arriving in Erinsborough, Robbo broke into the Turners' residence while keeping his true motives hidden from Mason.
Robbo is later unveiled as Amber Turner's secret boyfriend, embodying the classic "bad boy" image that attracted Amber. His manipulative and deceitful behavior caused friction within the Turner family and the wider community.
He coerced Mason into attempting another robbery at Lassiter's, which was prevented due to increased security measures. Following this, Robbo fled but eventually returned to Erinsborough, where he was arrested and released on bail paid by his mother. He confronted Mason about informing the police and sought Amber’s support, which she refused.
Robbo's intimidation extended to several locals, including Sonya Mitchell and her family. He attempted to infiltrate local businesses but was rejected, then exploited connections with Paul Robinson through rigged poker games that led to significant debt. Robbo used compromising footage of Amber to blackmail Mason and intensified his threats toward others.
His criminal activities culminated in a hit-and-run incident that left him hospitalized. Before dying from cardiac arrest, Robbo attempted to reveal information about Mason. It was later uncovered that Hudson Walsh caused the accident.
Mason Turner
Mason Turner, portrayed by Taylor Glockner, first appeared on 22 February 2013. Glockner’s casting was announced on 4 November 2012. He had been filming for approximately five to six weeks prior to the December production hiatus. Mason is the eldest child of Lauren Carpenter (Kate Kendall) and Matt Turner (Josef Brown). Kendall described him as "smouldering" and rebellious, while executive producer Richard Jasek referred to him as "a bad boy" with a good heart who makes mistakes for the right reasons. Glockner highlighted Mason’s protective nature toward his sister Amber (Jenna Rosenow) and his complex relationship with his father. Mason arrives after serving time in juvenile detention for a robbery conviction in which he was wrongfully implicated. Upon arrival, he persistently flirts with Kate Ramsay (Ashleigh Brewer).
Rhiannon Bates
Rhiannon Bates, portrayed by Teressa Liane, made her first appearance on 8 April 2013. To embody Rhiannon’s distinctive look, Liane underwent a transformation including dyeing her hair brunette and applying striking makeup. Rhiannon is Mason Turner's former girlfriend from Mount Isa, known for being bold and unforgettable. She travels to Erinsborough intending to reconnect with Mason, making a dramatic entrance by climbing through his bedroom window. Her arrival complicates Mason’s developing relationship with Kate Ramsay.
Rhiannon discloses that she left her son Jackson with her sister and moves into Number 26 Ramsay Street after deciding not to return to Mount Isa with Mason. She admits to sending a threatening note to Matt Turner due to his treatment of Mason. Facing financial difficulties, she takes advice from Sheila Canning and uses her new image to manipulate Paul Robinson into offering her money and a job connected to local councilor Allan Hewitt. Uncomfortable with Allan's advances, she ends the arrangement and later reports Paul for bribery.
Months later, Rhiannon returns to support Matt in a corruption case against Paul, agreeing to withdraw her statement in exchange for employment at Lassiter's. She brings her son Jackson and stays with Karl and Susan Kennedy at Number 28. Although she desires a casual relationship with Mason, he declines, prompting Rhiannon to accept a job opportunity in Darwin.
Critics compared Rhiannon to an Australian equivalent of the feisty British soap McQueens characters, noting her cheeky demeanor and dramatic presence. Her makeover was identified as a pivotal moment that greatly enhanced her appeal within the series.
Jayden Warley
Jayden Warley, played by Khan Oxenham, made his first appearance on 6 May 2013. Oxenham's involvement was confirmed in February 2013. He reprised the role in 2015 and once more in 2018. The actor found the character both demanding and relatable, particularly noting parallels with Jayden’s lack of enthusiasm for school.
Jayden's narrative primarily focuses on bullying, especially directed at Bailey Turner. He frequently manipulates events to evade repercussions, including using blackmail to protect Bailey after a fight and instigating disputes with other individuals. His reckless conduct encompasses self-inflicted injuries from skateboarding attempts and acts of vandalism, which result in threats of legal consequences against others.
A pivotal storyline involves Jayden causing damage to Sonya's Nursery to sabotage Paul Robinson’s mayoral press event. Paul forces a confession from Jayden and negotiates with his mother, Sue Parker, resulting in her stepping down as interim mayor to prevent charges. While Jayden persists in his troublesome behavior, he also exposes personal issues such as family tensions, prompting Brad Willis to advise him to channel his anger through sports activities.
Jayden’s relationship with Bailey develops through shared drinking episodes and mischievous acts, including impersonating police officers to stop vehicles. He is accused of stealing from Paige Smith and attempts to blackmail her; however, Paige retaliates by secretly recording him after a prank involving laxatives. Following a school fire, Jayden confesses that he tried to implicate Stephanie Scully, mistakenly believing he caused the blaze.
Three years later, Jayden faces difficulty securing employment but obtains a trial at Amy Williams’ construction yard after a challenging interview. Despite underperforming and encountering workplace conflicts, Amy offers him an apprenticeship. Subsequent incidents involving loosened ratchet straps lead to police investigations and result in both Jayden and Sue receiving six-month jail sentences.

Josh is the son of Brad (Kip Gamblin) and Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou). He is depicted as ambitious and determined, sharing a complex bond with his twin sister Imogen (Ariel Kaplan). As an accomplished swimmer, Bonner underwent substantial training at a local pool to authentically portray Josh’s athletic prowess.

Walter is unveiled as the estranged uncle of Sonya Mitchell (Eve Morey), long believed deceased. Initially keeping his distance and observing Sonya, Walter discloses his identity when confronted. While Sonya welcomes his tales and childhood photographs, her partner Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) urges caution due to Walter’s secretive behavior.
Upon his arrival in Erinsborough, Walter becomes part of the local community, interacting with residents including Sheila Canning and reconnecting with Sonya’s children. Despite being invited to stay, Walter’s troubling actions emerge—he steals a watch and money, revealing struggles with alcoholism. Following Sonya’s encouragement and attendance at AA meetings, he continues to relapse, ultimately stealing funds from a nursery before departing town. Later, Walter returns the stolen money and admits he had assumed the identity of the real Walter Mitchell after encountering him at a halfway house. Walter’s narrative explores themes of trust, addiction, and redemption within the neighborhood.
Hudson Walsh
Hudson Walsh, played by Remy Hii, made his debut on 28 June 2013. His casting was confirmed on 12 June 2013 while Hii was already filming. Unemployed and visiting Melbourne at the time, Hii auditioned and secured the role within two days. He described the cast as friendly and expressed excitement about his recurring guest role.
Introduced as a romantic interest for established character Chris Pappas (James Mason), Hudson is a competitive swimmer defined by sensitivity and ambition. Initially focused on achieving championship success, his move to Erinsborough sparks exploration of new life experiences. He also becomes a swimming rival to Joshua Willis (Harley Bonner).
Hudson’s storyline involves conflict surrounding performance-enhancing drugs, which strains his relationship with Chris and results in parting ways with coach Don Cotter (John Adam). Despite these challenges, Hudson gains sponsorship from Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) after assuring him that the doping incident was isolated. He faces hostility from Josh but eventually reconciles with Brad Willis (Kip Gamblin), who takes over as his coach.
Hudson becomes entangled in a blackmail scheme involving Mason Turner (Taylor Glockner) and others targeting Robbo Slade (Aaron Jakubenko). After Robbo dies in a hit-and-run incident, Hudson is questioned due to CCTV footage but initially protects Josh by covering up. Ultimately, Hudson confesses to causing the accident, explaining his intention was only to frighten Robbo. He is charged and sentenced to four years’ imprisonment.
While incarcerated, Hudson maintains a complicated relationship with Chris marked by tension and reconciliation attempts. They strive to keep their connection alive through visits and video calls until Hudson ends the relationship due to doubts about Chris’s faithfulness. Chris clarifies he was not unfaithful but had accepted a date out of loneliness. They part on amicable terms.
Marty Kranic
Marty Kranic, played by Darius Perkins, made his first appearance on 29 July 2013. Perkins, who had earlier portrayed Scott Robinson in 1985, was initially signed on for a one-month stint. Marty is characterized as a "shady associate" of Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis), with a talent for managing tricky situations. Perkins mentioned that the role gave him the chance to portray a darker persona than his previous characters.
Paul invites Marty to join a poker game to evaluate his card-playing abilities. Marty is assigned to handle Robbo Slade (Aaron Jakubenko) and is later rewarded with complimentary access to Lassiter's executive suite for his assistance to Paul. Marty tries unsuccessfully to penetrate Robbo's poker circle and attempts to involve Lucas Fitzgerald (Scott Major) in his plans. After Robbo dies in a hit and run, Lucas reveals that Marty had accused Robbo of using marked cards. Marty denies any involvement in the accident but warns Paul not to implicate him, threatening consequences.
When questioned by the police, Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou) recognizes Marty, who falsely accuses Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) of the hit-and-run incident. Several months later, Marty resurfaces to blackmail Paul, who is running for mayor, by offering damaging information to Paul's rival, Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher), who declines to act on it.
Josie Lamb
Josie Lamb, portrayed by Madison Daniel, first appeared on 12 August 2013. Daniel had previously appeared in Neighbours as Claudia Howard in 2012. Initially cast for a recurring role lasting ten months, Daniel returned in 2017 to reprise the character.
Introduced as a self-assured student and friend of Callum Jones, Josie developed feelings for him but attempted to alter herself to resemble Imogen Willis, whom Callum admired. This storyline addressed eating disorders, as Josie's dieting and exercise regime led her to collapse during a local fun run due to dehydration and malnutrition. The show explored the complexities of body image issues through Josie's recovery journey.
Josie experienced bullying at school about her intellect, appearance, and having two mothers. She connected with Callum through an online game, and they formed a friendship that eventually blossomed into a romantic relationship after overcoming misunderstandings. Josie's mother, Ellen Crabb, was revealed as the lead detective investigating a hit-and-run involving Callum's father, which added strain to their relationship.
In efforts to impress Callum, Josie changed her appearance and trained excessively for the fun run, raising concerns from Callum's mother, Sonya Mitchell. After collapsing and being hospitalized, Josie admitted that her struggles were influenced by Imogen’s bulimia storyline. She later attended the school dance with Callum, where their relationship advanced despite occasional disagreements.
Callum supported Josie through various difficulties, including gifting her a puppy she was allergic to and surprising her on Valentine's Day with an engraved padlock symbolizing their bond. Their relationship deepened as they considered becoming intimate but ultimately decided to wait. Josie stood by Callum when he left for a scholarship opportunity in the United States.
While studying at university, Josie's parents separated. Upon returning home, Josie discovered Victoria Lamb's romantic interest in Stephanie Scully and warned Steph to keep her distance while her parents worked through their issues. Following incidents involving Steph and Toadie's daughter Nell, Josie filed an intervention order against Steph; this was later revealed to be orchestrated by Ellen and subsequently revoked.

Alek is the separated former husband of the established character Vanessa Villante (Alin Sumarwata). His arrival in Erinsborough brings news that unsettles Vanessa and provokes anger from her fiancé, Lucas Fitzgerald (Scott Major). Alek’s wit also fuels friction with Lucas.
Alek approaches Vanessa, confessing that he never finalized their annulment to avoid family disgrace and secretly hoped to reunite with her. He proposes a payment of $100,000 for Vanessa to relinquish any claims to his assets, which she agrees to. After completing the annulment, Alek departs to rejoin his fiancée, mentioning a hotel they had stayed at in Tirana, Albania as they part ways.

She arrives in Erinsborough with the intent to reconnect with Georgia, her favored cousin. Georgia encourages Gem to move into Toadie’s residence, setting up further storylines.

However, after evidence surfaces showing the injury originated from a skiing accident, Eric withdraws the lawsuit. Toadfish contemplates pursuing action against the ski instructor but discovers Eric was intoxicated and dishonest regarding the circumstances. In retaliation, Eric sues Toadfish for negligence upon learning that Brad's daughter, Imogen (Ariel Kaplan), was involved at the law office.
When Eric’s wife, Mandy (Emelia Burns), becomes aware of the lawsuit, she moves out with their daughter. Toadfish and his wife, Sonya (Eve Morey), invite Eric and Mandy to lunch, where tensions surface leading Eric and Mandy to reevaluate their marriage. Ultimately, Eric drops the legal action and reconciles with Mandy, who returns home.
Jacob Holmes

After nearly losing his son Elliott's (Ryder Smyth) pram into Lassiter’s Lake, Jacob entrusts Elliott to Sonya’s care, taking advantage of her generosity before returning seeking support for dealing with his wife’s passing. Sonya offers him employment constructing a juice bar at her nursery while she looks after Elliott, sparking hopes for a brief romantic connection when Jacob kisses Sonya.
Jacob reaches out to Sonya after following her blog for parenting guidance and reveals that his wife Hannah died shortly after Elliott’s birth, leaving him isolated. Following the close call with Elliott's pram, Jacob questions his parenting abilities and temporarily leaves Elliott in Sonya’s care. When Elliott requires hospitalization, Sonya contacts Jacob who returns and apologizes for abandoning his son. He feels uneasy when Sonya’s husband, Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney), contacts Jacob's in-laws. Sonya supports Jacob by offering work and encouraging him to build a relationship with Toadie.
Although Jacob kisses Sonya, he soon regrets it and apologizes. Facing custody disputes initiated by Hannah's parents, Jacob seeks Toadie's assistance for mediation. Sonya distances herself from Jacob and suggests Georgia Brooks (Saskia Hampele) spend time with him instead. After confessing the kiss to Toadie, tensions arise but Toadie continues helping Jacob. When Jacob suspects Toadie leaked information to Hannah’s parents, he later feels remorse upon learning they hired a private investigator. Despite contemplating relinquishing custody, Jacob is persuaded by Sonya to fight for Elliott’s care. He expresses his feelings for Sonya but is rejected and ultimately decides to relocate to Adelaide to be closer to his in-laws.
