The show's 31st season commenced on 5 January 2015. The first character to appear that year was Cat Rogers in January, followed by Michelle Kim, Tyler Brennan, and Nick Petrides in February.

Subsequent introductions included Russell Brennan in July, Courtney Grixti in August, Piper Willis in September, Shay Daeng in October, and finally Cecilia Saint in November.

Cat Rogers

Catriona "Cat" Rogers, played by Maleeka Gasbarri, made her first appearance on 19 January 2015. Gasbarri secured the role after submitting an audition tape from her hometown of Dunsborough, having been discovered by a Neighbours casting agent while attending an Australian Film and Television Academy course. She commenced filming just two weeks after being cast.

Cat is the daughter of Erin Rogers (Adrienne Pickering) and was placed into foster care due to her mother’s struggles with drug addiction. Erin contacts Sonya Mitchell (Eve Morey) to explain that Cat prefers to communicate via Facebook and initially declines a meeting arranged by Sonya’s husband, Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney). Eventually, Cat connects with Erin and develops a rapport with Toadie through their shared interest in BMX biking. Upon discovering that Erin attended her cricket games without ever speaking to her, Cat abruptly leaves but later returns seeking to rebuild their relationship.

After Erin invites Cat to stay with her, she unexpectedly departs, prompting Sonya and Toadie to host Cat overnight. Cat expresses hesitation about returning to her foster parents, who are expecting a child. Sonya contacts Cat’s foster mother, Lorraine (Michelle Celebicanin), who reassures Cat of her place there. Feeling wanted, Cat decides to return but is told she is welcome to visit whenever she wishes.

Michelle Kim

Michelle Kim, portrayed by Ra Chapman, first appeared on 6 February 2015. Chapman completed filming for the role in April 2015. Michelle is connected to the shady entrepreneur Dennis Dimato (David Serafin). Chapman described Michelle as "tough" and "relentless," managing an illicit car operation and gradually becoming more ruthless.

When Matt Turner (Josef Brown) begins working as a security guard at Dimato Industries, Michelle oversees his activities and attempts to gain his confidence by gifting a dress for his wife. She informs Dimato that winning Matt over will be straightforward. Although Matt initially quits upon discovering Dimato’s criminal dealings, he returns for extra shifts. Michelle later enlists Tyler Brennan (Travis Burns) to dismantle stolen vehicles for parts, encouraging him to persist despite the dangers involved. Following Tyler’s involvement leading to Dimato’s arrest, Dimato and Michelle purchase Fitzgerald Motors as a front for their operations. When Dimato absconds, Michelle takes charge.

After Bailey Turner (Calen Mackenzie) becomes involved with a stolen car, Michelle pressures Tyler either to replace it or pay $8,000. Upon learning that Paige Smith (Olympia Valance) reported the theft, Michelle blackmails Paige into aiding Tyler and appoints her as an assistant at the garage. A police raid during a parts delivery results in Michelle injuring her ankle; however, she agrees with Paige to legitimize the garage business. Dimato returns and reunites with Michelle and their associates, but suspicions arise when Tyler appears to be cooperating with law enforcement. Ultimately, Michelle is arrested after Paige intervenes during a police arrival.

Months later, following her release, Michelle seeks assistance from Mark Brennan amid ongoing threats from Dimato. She approaches Paige at Number 24, pretending fear of Dimato and fabricating bruises to manipulate Paige into helping orchestrate a burglary setup against herself. Despite later genuinely being assaulted by Dimato, she maintains the deception. When Paige discovers stolen property registered under her name for rent, Michelle alerts the police. Subsequently, Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) coerces Dimato into leaving town; following this, Michelle also exits Erinsborough.

Tyler Brennan

Tyler Brennan, played by Travis Burns, made his first appearance on 6 February 2015. The announcement of Burns' casting came on 3 November 2014. While auditioning from the United States, Burns expressed enthusiasm about joining Neighbours during its milestone 30th anniversary. Tyler is introduced as the younger sibling of the established character Mark Brennan (Scott McGregor). Burns’ prior connection with McGregor through their shared modelling agency facilitated his selection. Tyler, who works as a mechanic, was presented as a "bad boy with a heart," characterized by TV Week Soap Extra as both "troublesome" and a "ladies' man."

Nick Petrides

Nick Petrides, portrayed by Damien Fotiou, first appeared on 19 February 2015. His casting was disclosed on 20 November 2014 via a behind-the-scenes video feature. Nick is the brother of Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou) and practices as an oncologist visiting Erinsborough. Fotiou clarified that his character’s storyline was not centered on medical issues but rather focused on family relationships. Nick forms a friendship with Georgia Brooks (Saskia Hampele), which creates friction with her husband Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan). Fotiou described Nick as fundamentally well-intentioned but with unexpected complexities. To fit the role, he underwent a transformation to appear more conservative.

Nick’s narrative involves fabricating a cancer diagnosis to manipulate Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) into supporting a cancer research facility. He alters medical records and implicates nurse Georgia, resulting in his suspension and arrest. His actions stem from a desperate desire to discover a cancer cure. In response, Paul vows to close the research centre and revoke Nick’s medical license.

In 2017, Nick returns during Terese’s breast cancer treatment, recommending immunotherapy but requiring parole to assist her care. Despite Paul’s objections, Nick is granted limited supervised involvement. He establishes a wellness centre for cancer patients at Robinsons Motel, receiving support from Amy Williams (Zoe Cramond). Tensions arise when Nick is accused of stealing drugs, leading to parole revocation amid Paul’s influence. Paul arranges legal counsel for Nick, who plans to return to Darwin.

Nick’s storyline explores ethical challenges in medical practice and research, emphasizing themes of ambition, deceit, and redemption within the series’ healthcare context.

Jimmy Williams

Jimmy Williams, portrayed by Darcy Tadich, debuted on 10 June 2015. This role marked Tadich’s television acting debut, secured after just one audition. Jimmy is the son of returning character Amy Williams and represents the first grandchild of long-standing regular Paul Robinson. Initially unknown to Paul due to Amy's estrangement, Paul expresses great joy upon discovering he has a grandson. Jimmy is depicted as a carefree youth with an interest in video games. Tadich departed the series in May 2018 when Jimmy relocated to New York City with his father but reprised the role in 2019 and returned again for Amy's exit storyline in January 2020.

Amy returns to Erinsborough aiming to reconnect Jimmy with Paul. Jimmy quickly bonds with Paul, who showers him with expensive gifts that Amy later returns, preferring their relationship be based on emotional connection rather than materialism. Jimmy uncovers letters containing residents’ secrets and uses them for minor blackmailing, which leads to disputes and subsequent apologies within the community.

Jimmy forms friendships with Kyle Canning and others, frequently spending time at the Dial-a-Kyle builders yard. The arrival of his father Liam Barnett complicates family relationships, especially after Liam accepts a bribe from Paul to cut ties with Amy and Jimmy, causing tension. Jimmy struggles emotionally following Paul's imprisonment related to a local explosion accusation, resulting in behavioral issues including dares and mischief alongside friends.

A drone accident causes serious injury to Jimmy, prompting moves between homes with Kyle and Sheila before eventually settling at Paul's penthouse in Lassiter's complex. He faces challenges such as bullying among peers, involvement in alcohol theft leading to another student's suspension from school, and romantic difficulties including breaking up with Poppy Ryan.

Liam’s return and subsequent departure influence Jimmy’s decisions regarding relocation. Ultimately, he moves to New York City supported by both his father and grandfather.

In 2019, Amy’s partner Gary Canning brings Jimmy back for Amy’s birthday celebration and surprise wedding. Despite ongoing family tensions, Jimmy supports Amy’s choices. Later that year, Jimmy returns amid teenage struggles and conflicts with Liam over friendships and behavior patterns. He brings his girlfriend to Australia seeking refuge from abuse and persuades Amy to join him in New York after ending her relationship with Kyle.

Aaron Brennan

Aaron Brennan, played by Matt Wilson, made his first appearance on 16 June 2015. The announcement of both the character and casting occurred on 17 May 2015. Wilson moved from Sydney to Melbourne to participate in filming. Aaron is introduced as the third member of the Brennan brothers, joining Mark and Tyler. Wilson characterized Aaron as a self-assured individual who takes pleasure in uplifting others and remains composed when facing difficulties. His introduction was striking, arriving as a male stripper before reuniting with his siblings. Aaron is openly gay, with potential romantic involvement hinted with Nate Kinski. Industry commentators highlighted the importance of adding a gay Brennan brother and expected Wilson’s role to be substantial beyond his debut.

Mary Smith

Mary Smith, portrayed by Gina Liano, first appeared on 30 June 2015. Her casting was revealed on 6 April 2015, marking Liano’s debut in acting after impressing during her audition; filming commenced on 14 April. Mary is the adoptive mother of Paige Smith and was cast without requiring changes to Liano’s unique style, which suited the character well. Mary made a brief 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 her unexpected arrival and shares that her son Ethan has kept her updated about Paige. Mary invites Paige to move with her to Singapore, but Paige declines due to her involvement in a police case. Before leaving, Mary expresses pride in Paige and suggests that Terese Willis supports Paige’s potential move overseas. Although initially unable to attend Paige’s wedding to Mark Brennan, Mary surprises everyone by appearing at the ceremony, which is ultimately cancelled when Mark arrests Paige. She consoles Paige and encourages her to return to Singapore alongside her.

Russell Brennan

Russell Brennan, enacted by Russell Kiefel, debuted on 29 July 2015, with casting revealed on 29 June 2015. Russell is the father of Mark (Scott McGregor), Tyler (Travis Burns), and Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson). Central to a sensitive domestic abuse storyline, Russell had inflicted harm on his sons and became estranged from them, making his attempts at reconciliation tense and difficult. Kiefel commented on the challenge for Russell to demonstrate genuine change.

Producers intended for Kiefel to return for an extensive Brennan family arc; however, following his passing in November 2016, the storyline was adapted to introduce the brothers’ mother, Fay (Zoe Bertram), instead.

After Mark reaches out, Russell arrives in Ramsay Street seeking to reconnect with his sons. Despite their guarded responses—Aaron quickly departs while Tyler avoids him—Russell tries to build bridges. He flirts with Sheila Canning (Colette Mann) and learns Aaron works as an exotic dancer, admitting he struggles to relate to him. The family organizes a barbecue where Russell offers Tyler an apology for his past abusive behavior.

Russell and Sheila begin a romantic relationship. Sheila proposes financial assistance for purchasing Fitzgerald Motors after Russell faces difficulties selling his Port Lincoln garage. However, Mark uncovers that Sheila's son, Gary Canning (Damien Richardson), acquired the funds illegally, prompting Sheila to report this to authorities. Mark and Aaron then contribute their savings towards the purchase.

Conflict escalates when Russell loses control around Ben Kirk (Felix Mallard), nearly striking him, which exacerbates Tyler’s behavioral problems. A confrontation exposes Russell’s abusive history; Mark and Aaron demand he leave. Sheila declines to accompany him, urging him instead to seek help as they part ways.

Two years later, Russell experiences a heart attack and requests a visit from his ex-wife Fay before passing away shortly before his sons and Sheila plan their visit. It is later disclosed that Hamish Roche (Sean Taylor) is Tyler’s biological father and that Russell was murdered by Hamish along with nurse Louise McLeod (Maria Theodorakis).

Courtney Grixti

Courtney Grixti, played by Emma Lane, made her first appearance on 4 August 2015. Lane, who was dating fellow cast member Travis Burns (Tyler Brennan) at the time, expressed excitement about joining the series, despite initial apprehension regarding romantic scenes with her friend Harley Bonner. After a brief guest role, Lane resumed filming in early 2016.

Courtney initially works as a barmaid at The Waterhole before taking on the role of spa manager at Lassiter's Hotel. Her early story arcs include challenging the hotel's management decisions, engaging in a short relationship with Josh Willis, and dealing with family complications upon learning she is the daughter of mayoral hopeful Tim Collins. This revelation sparked conflict when Piper Willis attempted to damage Tim's reputation, but Courtney intervened to defuse the situation.

After a fallout with her father, which included vandalizing his car in response to his mistreatment of Sonya, Courtney moved in with Tyler Brennan. Their relationship eventually ended due to personal disagreements. She also provided support to Paige Smith during her breakup and helped advance Paige’s romantic prospects by introducing her to a university lecturer.

Following her decision to leave university, Courtney gained employment at Lassiter's spa, where she developed a unique service blending massages with emotional therapy targeted at male clients. This approach led to suspicions of misconduct and resulted in her dismissal by Terese Willis. Terese later apologized after understanding the true nature of Courtney’s services. Despite offers to return, Courtney opted for a temporary departure from Erinsborough and subsequently filed a $5 million lawsuit against Terese.

Courtney reemerged engaged to Paul Robinson, who had become Lassiter's principal investor. Paul persuaded her to withdraw the lawsuit and appointed her as a Rejuvenation Consultant. Their engagement raised doubts among Paul’s family and local residents. Although their relationship initially served as a tactical alliance against Terese and Tim, Courtney proposed making it authentic. Plans to elope were announced but ultimately did not proceed.

Amid ongoing tensions with Tim Collins and uncertainty about her future, Courtney agreed to return home following an emotional reconciliation. She resigned from Lassiter's but maintained her engagement to Paul, sustaining their intricate partnership within Erinsborough’s business environment.

Piper Willis

Piper Willis, portrayed by Mavournee Hazel, first appeared on 16 September 2015. The character had been mentioned since her family arrived in 2013, with Hazel’s casting revealed in August 2015. Hazel relocated to Melbourne for filming and described Piper as "feisty" and "quirky." Prior to her on-screen debut, Piper was featured in webisodes titled Hey Piper, which highlighted her video call conversations with family members. She is the youngest daughter of Brad and Terese Willis, returning from studies abroad in Canada.

Shay Daeng

Shay Daeng (also known as Quill), portrayed by Yasmin Kassim, made her debut on 29 October 2015. Kassim filmed this guest role over several months in Melbourne. Shay arrives in Erinsborough as assistant manager of Lassiter's Hotel while Terese Willis recovers from injuries. She quickly becomes entangled in workplace conflicts and harbors secrets tied to the Quill Group, owners of Lassiter's.

Shay reconnects with Kyle Canning through a dating app and integrates into the hotel staff, earning commendations from Terese. However, Terese grows wary of Shay after uncovering a photograph connecting them at a conference fifteen years earlier. Shay admits she is spying on behalf of the Quill Group and initiates a hotel restructuring—retaining Terese as manager but undermining Kyle’s business ventures. Following retaliatory measures by Amy Williams, Shay departs for Dubai.

Five years later, Shay returns working alongside Jesse Porter, a Lassiter's employee also linked to the Quill Group. She pressures Jesse into gathering intelligence and rehabilitating the group’s reputation following damage caused by his mother Julie Quill. Conflicts arise between Shay and Terese concerning Jesse’s involvement and the Quill Group’s future. Terese proposes Lassiter's invest to salvage the business; however, Paul Robinson delays this plan due to personal issues, prompting Shay to seek alternative funding options to avert the company’s failure.

Cecilia Saint

Cecilia Saint, played by Candice Alley, first appeared on 11 November 2015. After successfully auditioning, Alley commended the friendly atmosphere among the cast and crew. She expressed excitement about joining a renowned Australian show and appreciated the opportunity to portray a single mother. Filming for her debut scenes took place in August 2015, with Alley returning in 2016 to reprise the role.

Cecilia was introduced as "an enigmatic woman" who was part of a plan to disturb Stephanie Scully (Carla Bonner). She brought her vehicle to Fitzgerald Motors for brake pad repairs and arrived with her son Harrison (Zebedee Howell), whom she referred to as Charlie when Steph was present. After challenging the cost of the brake pads, Steph's manager Tyler Brennan (Travis Burns) reimbursed her.

Following this, Cecilia reached out to Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) to confirm she had acted on his instructions to intimidate Steph. Subsequently, Paul hired Cecilia to disrupt the Citizen of the Year ceremony at Lassiter's Hotel. When an explosion devastated the hotel, Paul attempted to contact Cecilia, but she ignored him, claiming her son’s hospitalization as an excuse. Upon confrontation by Steph, Cecilia declined police involvement and denied any participation if questioned.

Later, Cecilia approached Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou) about her daughter Piper (Mavournee Hazel), who had posted an interview referencing Cecilia. Convinced of Paul's guilt, Cecilia accepted payment from Terese to provide false testimony against him and was offered employment. During the trial, Cecilia maintained her fabricated statements until Terese admitted to bribing her to lie.
