Cat Rogers
Catriona "Cat" Rogers, portrayed by Maleeka Gasbarri, made her first appearance on 19 January 2015. Gasbarri’s casting was revealed shortly beforehand after a casting agent from Neighbours discovered her during an Australian Film and Television Academy course held in Perth. She submitted an audition tape from her hometown of Dunsborough and began filming within a fortnight.
Cat is introduced as the daughter of Erin Rogers (Adrienne Pickering), who had been placed into care due to Erin’s struggles with drug addiction. Erin informs Sonya Mitchell (Eve Morey) that Cat prefers to keep distance from others, only communicating via Facebook. Sonya’s husband, Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney), arranges for them to meet, although Cat initially backs out due to anxiety. Eventually, Cat meets with Erin and develops a connection with Toadie through BMX biking. After a short period living with Erin, who then departs abruptly, Cat moves in with Sonya and Toadie. She is hesitant about returning to her foster parents because they are expecting a baby, fearing she might be unwanted. Sonya invites Cat’s foster mother, Lorraine (Michelle Celebicanin), who reassures Cat that she is valued. Cat decides to go back home but is encouraged to visit Sonya and Toadie whenever she wishes.
Michelle Kim
Michelle Kim, played by Ra Chapman, debuted on-screen on 6 February 2015. Chapman completed her scenes by April 2015. Michelle is connected to the dubious businessman Dennis Dimato (David Serafin). Chapman characterized Michelle as "tough" and "relentless," running an illicit car operation and gradually becoming a more ruthless figure.
When Matt Turner (Josef Brown) starts working as a security guard at Dimato Industries, Michelle briefs him and attempts to gain his trust to secure his allegiance for Dimato’s interests. After Matt resigns upon discovering Dimato’s illegal dealings, financial pressures lead him back to work where he requests additional shifts. Michelle enlists Tyler Brennan (Travis Burns) to dismantle stolen vehicles, exploiting his strained relationship with his brother Mark (Scott McGregor) as motivation to steal. Following a theft tracked by police that results in Dimato’s arrest, Michelle and Dimato purchase Fitzgerald Motors as a front for their activities. When Dimato flees town, Michelle assumes control.
Michelle exerts pressure on Tyler after Bailey Turner (Calen Mackenzie) takes one of the stolen cars without permission, demanding either a replacement vehicle or $8,000 compensation. She blackmails Paige Smith (Olympia Valance) into assisting Tyler by making Paige the new garage assistant. A police raid forces Michelle and Paige to attempt an escape; during this, Michelle injures her ankle but agrees to Paige’s suggestion of legitimizing the garage business. Dimato later returns and reunites with Michelle and their crew; suspicion arises when Tyler tries to flee, believed to be cooperating with law enforcement. Eventually, Michelle is apprehended after Paige intervenes during her attempted escape.
Several months later, upon release from custody, Michelle seeks assistance from Mark to protect herself against Dimato’s retaliation. While hiding under police protection, she forms a bond with Paige over shared concerns about safety and family issues. Michelle manipulates Paige into believing that Dimato poses a threat by faking injuries and arranging a setup involving accusations of burglary. Despite being physically assaulted by Dimato during a confrontation, Michelle persists with the plan until Paige discovers stolen items in an apartment rented under her name. Michelle alerts authorities but Paige removes the items before they arrive. Ultimately, Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) forces Dimato out of town, leading to Michelle’s departure from Erinsborough as well.
Tyler Brennan
Tyler Brennan, brought to life by Travis Burns, made his first appearance on 6 February 2015. The announcement of Burns' casting was made public on 3 November 2014. While auditioning from the United States, Burns expressed excitement about joining Neighbours during its milestone 30th anniversary. Tyler is introduced as the younger sibling of the established character Mark Brennan (Scott McGregor). Both actors shared a connection through their modelling agency, which assisted Burns in landing the part. Tyler’s profession is a mechanic, and his personality is often described as a "badboy-with-a-heart," embodying traits such as being "troublesome" and a "ladies' man."
Nick Petrides
Nick Petrides, portrayed by Damien Fotiou, entered the series on 19 February 2015. His introduction was first teased on 20 November 2014 via a behind-the-scenes clip. Nick is the brother of Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou) and arrives in Erinsborough to reconnect with family. Professionally, Nick is an oncologist, although his initial storylines did not revolve around medical themes. Fotiou described Nick as a layered character with good intentions but capable of unexpected behavior. To fit the role, Fotiou underwent a transformation to project a more conservative appearance.
Nick’s narrative arc includes fabricating a cancer diagnosis to manipulate Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) into backing a cancer research facility. He forms a friendship with nurse Georgia Brooks (Saskia Hampele), which creates strain with her spouse Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan). Nick engages in unethical conduct such as hacking social media accounts, framing Georgia, and falsifying medical documents, culminating in his arrest and suspension from hospital duties. Paul threatens to revoke Nick’s medical license and close down the research centre.
In 2017, Nick reappears during Terese’s battle with breast cancer. Despite serving time in prison, he recommends immunotherapy treatment and is released on parole with strict conditions: he is barred from practicing medicine but permitted to oversee Terese’s care and continue his research efforts. His return generates controversy within the hospital environment and causes friction among family members and colleagues.
Nick intends to establish a wellness centre for cancer patients at Robinsons Motel, receiving support from Stephanie Scully (Carla Bonner). Paul attempts to bribe him into leaving town, but Nick refuses to comply. Tensions escalate when Mark Brennan uncovers that Nick has been illicitly using cancer medication; although Paul planted evidence against him, Nick’s parole is revoked following an assault on a prison guard. Paul's manipulative actions alienate Amy Williams (Zoe Cramond), who had developed a close bond with Nick. Subsequently, Paul finances legal assistance for Nick, who plans to return to Darwin to reunite with his family.
Jimmy Williams
Jimmy Williams, played by Darcy Tadich, debuted on-screen on 10 June 2015, marking Tadich's first television role. Jimmy is the son of Amy Williams and represents the first grandchild of Paul Robinson, who was initially unaware of Jimmy due to estranged relations. Tadich described Jimmy as a carefree child with an interest in video games. Tadich departed from the show in May 2018 when Jimmy relocated to New York City with his father but returned briefly in 2019 and again for Amy's exit storyline in January 2020.
After encouragement from Amy's cousin Daniel to reconnect with Paul, Amy consented for Jimmy’s benefit. Jimmy quickly bonded with Paul despite Amy's concerns about potential overindulgence. He also built friendships with Kyle Canning and others, often spending time at the Dial-a-Kyle builders yard. His relationship with father Liam was strained during Liam's visit, particularly after Liam accepted a bribe from Paul to cut ties.
Jimmy featured in several significant plotlines including blackmailing neighbours using secret letters, witnessing Paul's arrest, and experiencing an allergic reaction after following Paul into the bushland. Later, he engaged in risky behaviors that resulted in a severe bike accident requiring surgery. Following these incidents, Amy and Jimmy alternated living arrangements before settling with Paul at Lassiter’s penthouse.
Jimmy displayed entrepreneurial tendencies by stealing and selling alcohol from hotel rooms, which led to another student’s suspension from school. He entered into a romantic relationship with Poppy Ryan but ended it upon discovering her bullying behavior towards a friend. His health problems resurfaced when he collapsed due to compromised immunity; his father Liam rushed him to hospital.
When Liam left for New York, discussions arose about Jimmy joining him; ultimately, Jimmy spent six months in New York under Paul's support. The following year saw Jimmy return for Amy’s birthday celebration and surprise wedding but soon faced typical teenage challenges including conflicts with Liam and secretive actions related to his girlfriend fleeing an abusive home.
Amy ultimately chose to leave Erinsborough alongside Jimmy and Leo after ending her relationship with Kyle, underscoring family dynamics and transitions central to Jimmy’s character development.
Aaron Brennan
Aaron Brennan, brought to life by Matt Wilson, made his first appearance on 16 June 2015. The announcement of both the character and casting took place on 17 May 2015. For filming purposes, Wilson moved from Sydney to Melbourne. Aaron is introduced as the third brother in the Brennan family, following the earlier introductions of Mark and Tyler Brennan. Wilson characterized Aaron as "a highly self-assured young man" who takes pleasure in uplifting others and remains composed when facing difficulties. His introduction was memorable, arriving as a male stripper before reuniting with his siblings. Aaron's sexual orientation is gay, with potential romantic involvement hinted at with Nate Kinski. Industry observers expressed surprise at this plot development and hoped Wilson's role would extend beyond his initial appearance.
Mary Smith
Mary Smith, portrayed by Gina Liano, debuted on-screen on 30 June 2015, marking Liano’s first acting role. Her casting was revealed on 6 April 2015 after she impressed the casting team during a screen test. Filming began for Liano on 14 April, and she conveyed excitement about embracing this new opportunity. Mary serves as the adoptive mother to Paige Smith. Olympia Valance, who plays Paige, endorsed Liano’s casting as perfect for the part, emphasizing that Mary's unchanged appearance adds authenticity to the character. Mary made a return in February 2016.
Mary arrives in Erinsborough to celebrate Paige’s 21st birthday and meets Paige’s biological parents, Lauren Carpenter and Brad Willis. She apologizes for arriving without notice and explains that her son Ethan has kept her updated about Paige. Mary wishes for Paige to relocate to Singapore with her, but Paige declines due to an ongoing police investigation. Offering emotional support, Mary sends a wedding dress as a gift despite initially saying she would not attend Paige’s wedding to Mark Brennan. Ultimately, Mary does attend the wedding, which ends abruptly when Mark detains Paige. She comforts Paige afterward and encourages her to return to Singapore.
Russell Brennan
Russell Brennan, played by Russell Kiefel, was introduced on 29 July 2015. His casting was announced on 29 June 2015. Russell is the father of Mark (Scott McGregor), Tyler (Travis Burns), and Aaron (Matt Wilson). The Brennan family became central to a sensitive domestic violence plotline, with Russell portrayed as abusive and estranged from his sons, who remain wary of his efforts at reconciliation. Kiefel acknowledged the complexity involved in depicting a man striving to demonstrate that he has changed.
Following contact from Mark, Russell visits Ramsay Street and reconnects with his sons; however, Aaron and Tyler initially keep their distance. He gradually builds rapport with them by apologizing for past mistreatment and organizing a barbecue gathering. Russell begins a relationship with Sheila Canning (Colette Mann), who offers assistance in purchasing Fitzgerald Motors after he struggles to sell his garage in Port Lincoln. Nevertheless, Mark uncovers that the money Sheila provides comes from illegal activities conducted by her son Gary Canning (Damien Richardson), prompting Sheila to report it to authorities. Subsequently, Mark and Aaron contribute their savings to help acquire the garage.
Conflict escalates when Russell loses control around Ben Kirk (Felix Mallard) and nearly strikes him; Tyler responds aggressively toward Russell, exposing the history of abuse within the family. When confronted by his sons, Russell admits to past violence and is asked to leave their lives. He invites Sheila to join him, but she declines and encourages him to seek professional help.
Two years later, Russell experiences a heart attack and requests a visit from his ex-wife Fay Brennan (Zoe Bertram). He passes away shortly before his sons and Sheila plan a visit. It is later disclosed that Tyler’s biological father is Hamish Roche (Sean Taylor), who was responsible for murdering Russell along with nurse Louise McLeod (Maria Theodorakis).
Courtney Grixti
Courtney Grixti, brought to life by Emma Lane, made her first appearance on 4 August 2015. Lane, who was dating Travis Burns (Tyler Brennan) at the time, shared her enthusiasm about joining the cast and admitted feeling somewhat anxious about portraying a romantic relationship with her real-life friend Harley Bonner. After an initial guest role, Lane resumed filming early in 2016.
Courtney is employed as a barmaid at The Waterhole before advancing to manage the Lassiter's Hotel spa. She initially challenges the hotel's management decisions and embarks on a romantic relationship with Josh Willis, which leads to complicated dynamics with his family. Later, she dates Tyler Brennan, inciting jealousy from Piper Willis. A misunderstanding involving Courtney’s father, Tim Collins—who is running for mayor—creates legal complications that Courtney helps to settle.
After clashing with her father over his behavior, Courtney moves in with Tyler; however, their relationship ends due to her controlling tendencies. She offers support to Paige Smith after their breakup and tries unsuccessfully to revive things with Tyler. Leaving university behind, Courtney takes up a role at Lassiter's spa, where her customized male client treatments raise suspicions of illicit conduct. Terese Willis terminates her employment following rumors about inappropriate massages but later apologizes upon discovering that Courtney’s services combine physical massage with emotional therapy. Although invited back, Courtney declines and initiates a $5 million lawsuit against Terese.
Courtney reappears engaged to Paul Robinson, who persuades her to drop the legal action as he becomes a major investor in Lassiter's. Paul appoints her as a Rejuvenation Consultant. Their engagement prompts doubts about Courtney’s intentions, yet she resists advances from Paul's son Leo Tanaka. Paul later admits their engagement was staged as part of a scheme against Terese and Tim Willis. They organize events at The Waterhole and contemplate turning their relationship genuine, even discussing elopement.
Tim confronts Courtney regarding the sham marriage; she confesses they never married but agrees to return home after Tim apologizes for his conduct. She resigns from Lassiter's but retains the engagement rings while Paul encourages her to uphold the façade.
Piper Willis
Piper Willis, portrayed by Mavournee Hazel, made her debut on 16 September 2015. Although the character had been mentioned since her family arrived in 2013, Hazel’s casting was announced in August 2015. Hazel relocated to Melbourne for filming and described Piper as "feisty" and "quirky." Prior to appearing on screen, Piper was introduced through webisodes titled Hey Piper, which featured video calls with her family members. She is the youngest daughter of Brad and Terese Willis, returning after studying in Canada.
Shay Daeng
Shay Daeng (also known as Quill), portrayed by Yasmin Kassim, first appeared on 29 October 2015. Kassim filmed this guest role over several months in Melbourne, depicting Shay as a "really cool" character who arrives in Erinsborough as assistant manager of Lassiter's Hotel during Terese Willis's recovery period. Shay’s storyline includes workplace conflicts and hidden agendas, including covertly spying for the Quill Group—which owns Lassiter's.
Shay connects with Kyle Canning through a dating app and becomes part of Lassiter's management team, earning Terese's confidence before unveiling her true objectives. She supervises hotel restructuring efforts, retains Terese as manager, and retaliates against Kyle by terminating his contract. After disputes with staff members, Shay leaves for Dubai.
In 2021, Shay returns to collaborate with Jesse Porter, a Lassiter's employee acting as an informant for the Quill Group. She pressures Jesse to collect intelligence aimed at restoring the group's reputation following previous scandals involving Julie Quill. Conflicts emerge as Terese defends Jesse from Shay’s harsh treatment due to his mother's actions. Shay pursues new investment opportunities to save the Quill Group from collapse but encounters delays caused by Paul's personal problems, leading her to seek alternative funding sources.
Cecilia Saint
Cecilia Saint, brought to life by Candice Alley, made her first appearance on 11 November 2015. The announcement of Alley's casting coincided with her debut, following a successful audition process. She expressed appreciation for the friendly environment among the cast and crew and showed excitement about joining a renowned Australian television series. Alley completed her initial filming in August and returned in 2016 to further develop the character. Cecilia was portrayed as "an enigmatic woman" entangled in a plot against Stephanie Scully (Carla Bonner), with Alley highlighting the interesting aspect of playing a single mother.
Cecilia arrives at Fitzgerald Motors seeking brake pad replacement for her vehicle, interacting with Steph while accompanied by her son Harrison (Zebedee Howell), whom she refers to as Charlie in Steph's presence. When invoiced for brake pads she insists she did not request, Steph’s manager Tyler Brennan (Travis Burns) intervenes to refund her. Acting on instructions, Cecilia contacts Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) to report Steph’s unsettling behavior. Subsequently, Harrison reaches out to Steph, expressing that he misses her.
Several months later, Paul employs Cecilia to disrupt the Citizen of the Year ceremony at Lassiter's Hotel. After an explosion devastates the venue, Paul attempts to involve Cecilia but she ignores him. Following Paul's arrest, Steph confronts Cecilia who denies any participation and declines to testify. Cecilia then approaches Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou) in search of Piper Willis (Mavournee Hazel), who had posted an interview referencing Cecilia. Terese compensates Cecilia to falsely accuse Paul of responsibility for the explosion and offers her employment. During court proceedings, Cecilia provides perjured testimony until Terese admits to having paid her to lie.
