Raymond and Ivan Renshaw

Raymond Renshaw, portrayed by Frank Magree, alongside Ivan Renshaw, played by Michael Shanahan, made their debut on 11 January 2019. The Renshaw family, a criminal syndicate from Sydney, had been alluded to since 2016 through Leo Tanaka, who had reported their involvement in money laundering to authorities. Raymond's daughter, Delaney Renshaw, was introduced in December 2018.

Towards the end of 2018, it was announced that Ivan and Raymond would be at the heart of a dramatic "shock siege" narrative as they arrived in Erinsborough intent on avenging Leo for his role in their incarceration. During this storyline, Ivan fires a gun at Leo at The Waterhole, but Terese Willis is hit instead. Following this, Raymond takes hostages at gunpoint inside Harold's Café.

Delaney informs Raymond that Leo was responsible for alerting the police to their illegal activities, which leads Raymond and Ivan to plot Leo’s assassination. After Ivan shoots Terese by mistake and escapes, Raymond assumes control of the hostage situation in the café, confiscating phones and blocking exits. He demands a van and releases some captives before confronting Leo directly. Just as Raymond is about to shoot Leo, law enforcement arrives and arrests him.

This plot arc underscored the Renshaws’ criminal influence within Erinsborough and resolved earlier story threads concerning money laundering and familial connections.

Vera Punt

Vera Punt, enacted by Sally-Anne Upton, first appeared on 23 January 2019. Upton’s casting in this recurring guest role was confirmed on 14 January 2019. Vera is introduced as the sister of Valerie Grundy, who had passed away the month prior. She arrives on Ramsay Street aiming to reclaim her late sister’s dog, Regina Grundy, sparking conflict with the current caretakers David Tanaka and Aaron Brennan, who threaten legal proceedings. Upton described Vera as an edgy and unpredictable character, likening her to her Wentworth role as an "Aussie Larrikin." Media outlets have described Vera as "so despicable, you can't help but love her" and dubbed her "the town whinger." Additionally, Upton contributed to the show as a COVID-19 nurse and appreciated new storylines for Vera as a gesture of gratitude. Vera featured in Neighbours’’ final episode, with Upton expressing pride in being part of its legacy. In April 2025, Vera was added to the opening credits.

Within her narrative arc, Vera refuses to return Regina to David and Aaron, asserting that the dog was bequeathed to her and threatening legal action. After departing for Bendigo with Regina, she later engages with characters such as Melissa Lohan concerning Valerie’s property sale. An incident involving Leo Tanaka damaging a Valentine’s Day display results in Vera sustaining injuries; she subsequently sues Lassiters despite family appeals against legal action. Vera also participates in community events like a charity bachelor auction where she purchases Aaron for $275.

Later storylines include Vera injuring her ankle after tripping over Easter decorations and declining treatment from Karl Kennedy due to recent allegations against him; instead, David Tanaka provides medical care. A feud develops between Vera and Karl involving accusations of dog fouling and retaliatory manure dumping—events eventually revealed to be orchestrated by Melanie Pearson.

Vera takes part in social gatherings such as running a psychic booth at Melanie’s Christmas party and attending a ladies’ lunch at Leo’s winery where she criticizes other guests but faces pushback. She also appears at a Ramsay Street party accompanied by her nephew Curtis Perkins and forms a friendship with Angie Rebecchi.

Years later, Vera dates Santo Oliveira amid misunderstandings about his relationship status. She competes in the Lassiters Longest Lie-In event but is disqualified following sabotage. After an incident involving poisoning from Yorokobi alcohol, she refuses further drinks from the brand and purchases 32 Ramsay Street from Leo due to his financial difficulties. Conflicts arise with tenants Mackenzie Hargreaves and Haz Devkar over pool access and rent hikes; Vera declines paying for hot water repairs herself.

When Mackenzie and Haz relocate to Paris, Vera offers assistance in securing new tenants and insists Nicolette Stone be added to the lease. Struggling secretly with gambling addiction and financial issues, she temporarily moves into the share house after disclosing her situation. Vera selects Max Ramsay as a new housemate but later seeks accommodation more appropriate for her age. Initially offended by Sadie Rodwell’s suggestion of moving into the retirement complex Eirene Rising, she ultimately tours the facility and signs papers to move in where she meets residents Hilary Robinson and Moira Tohu.

Vera questions Roxy Willis's interim management at Lassiters and demands recruitment of additional staff members. She enjoys attending a nude magician performance at The Waterhole but experiences health complications requiring appendicitis surgery after initial hesitation.

In 2022, media commentary noted that Vera "certainly isn't the most popular resident on the street," highlighting her contentious role within the community.

Melissa Lohan

Melissa "Mel" Lohan, brought to life by Jacqui Purvis, made her first appearance on 25 January 2019. Created to delve into Chloe Brennan's personal history and bisexual identity, Mel is depicted as Chloe's ex-girlfriend with a turbulent history, highlighted by a spiteful breakup. The media labeled Mel as a "villain," "ruthless," and "sinister," especially emphasizing her manipulative efforts to secure a position within the Robinson Pines project. Critics noted her potential for a recurring role, though her involvement in arson curtailed this possibility. Purvis’s portrayal received commendations. Mel departed the show on 4 March 2019.

Mel arrives in Erinsborough following an invitation from Aaron Brennan aimed at reconnecting with Chloe. Although Chloe initially rejects her, Mel apologizes for previous misdeeds such as theft and leaving Chloe financially burdened, leading to a fragile reconciliation. In pursuit of employment, Mel approaches Paul Robinson about joining the Robinson Pines housing development but is initially turned down due to an existing sales team. She later influences the project's success by assisting Paul and Amy Williams in securing investors, which earns her the role of sales manager. Mel rekindles her romance with Chloe despite discovering Chloe’s feelings for Elly Conway, agreeing to keep this information confidential. Additionally, she convinces Paul to expand Robinson Pines and negotiates with Lucas Fitzgerald regarding the sale of his garage.

After Chloe receives a Huntington's disease diagnosis, Mel offers emotional support that causes Chloe to reconsider their relationship. Mel invests in office space at Lassiters and manipulates Heath Kabel to disrupt Lucas’s garage operations. Unaware that apprentice Bea Nilsson is inside a van, Mel causes a fire by tampering with power equipment. Bea grows suspicious after seeing Mel pay Heath, and Chloe later accuses Mel upon finding discarded faulty equipment linked to the blaze. Mel denies any involvement but loses Chloe’s trust and ends their relationship with a cruel comment about Chloe’s impending health challenges.

Elly confronts Mel about the fire, but Mel retaliates by threatening to reveal Elly’s kiss with Chloe. Elly demands that if Mel truly loves Chloe, she should leave quietly; Mel complies with this ultimatum. Eventually, Heath cooperates with authorities, which leads to Mel’s arrest in South Australia.

Claudia Watkins

Claudia Watkins, portrayed by Kate Raison, debuted on 29 March 2019 as Finn Kelly’s estranged mother (Rob Mills). Executive producer Jason Herbison introduced Claudia as a "trouble-making mum" and a "tough cookie," while critics described her as "calculating" and "menacing." Her arrival also facilitated the return of recurring character Samantha Fitzgerald (Simone Buchanan). Claudia’s complicated interactions with the Kennedy family, especially Elly Conway (Jodi Anasta), were marked by suspicion and conflict due to her sons’ troubled histories.

Claudia came to Erinsborough after contact from Finn's doctor, Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher), initially stating she intended to retrieve her younger son, Shaun Watkins (Brad Moller). She admitted having limited involvement in Finn’s upbringing and referred to him as a psychopath but remained after Shaun persuaded her to stay. Claudia sought to manipulate circumstances surrounding Finn, including offering compensation to Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne) and attempting to sever Finn’s connections with Shaun and his legal counsel. It was later uncovered that she financed private investigations into Elly's past and orchestrated the destruction of evidence related to Finn’s legal case.

Following Shaun’s death in an avalanche, Claudia pursued custody of her granddaughter Aster Conway, leveraging Elly's voluntary manslaughter charge. She engaged Samantha Fitzgerald as her attorney and worked to undermine the Kennedy family by pressuring Susan Kennedy through PTA members. Claudia successfully gained temporary custody of Aster by raising concerns about Susan’s mental health and the Kennedys' ability to care for the child. She invested in local property markets, acquiring a penthouse and attempting to purchase Chloe Brennan’s island, which was connected to Finn's crimes.

Claudia recruited local teenagers Hendrix Greyson, Harlow Robinson, and Mackenzie Hargreaves to aid her schemes. When Chloe and Aaron Brennan discovered proof of Claudia’s role in destroying case evidence, Claudia tried to escape on a private jet. However, Shaun—having survived alone for six months—confronted her regarding Aster’s custody. After being rejected by Samantha for failing to flee the country, he convinced Claudia to admit her wrongdoing. Claudia was subsequently charged, with Elly vowing that Claudia would never see Aster again.

Roxy Willis

Roxy Willis, brought to life by Zima Anderson, made her first appearance on 29 April 2019. Anderson's involvement was revealed on 14 April 2019. Having relocated to Melbourne two years prior, Anderson pursued a role on Neighbours and described Roxy as "very fun and very naughty," "full of heart," and "sporadic." Roxy is depicted as a spirited young woman from the Northern Territory and the niece of established character Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou), though they share no biological connection. She is the daughter of Adam Willis and Gemma Ramsay (Beth Buchanan). Gemma hopes Terese can help guide Roxy through her rebellious streak. Shortly after Roxy’s arrival, her older boyfriend Vance Abernethy (Conrad Coleby) is introduced.

Dean Mahoney

Dean Mahoney, portrayed by Henry Strand, appeared for the first time on 2 May 2019. As the son of Dr Dora Dietrich (Kirsty Hillhouse), Dean is characterized as a defiant student at Erinsborough High who frequently clashes with pregnant teacher Elly Conway (Jodi Anasta). After receiving detention from Elly, Dean uncovers that she has fabricated her pregnancy by accessing her medical records through his mother. He uses this information to blackmail Elly, coercing her into unlawful actions that lead to further complications. Dean returns in December, stalking Elly and admitting his role in her losing her job.

Following his detention, Dean disputes with Elly and intensifies his disruptive behavior. Upon discovering Elly is under his mother’s care, he exploits this fact to blackmail her for better grades and alcohol, though his plans are interrupted when she is hospitalized. Dean steals an ultrasound image to continue his threats, attracting attention from Finn Kelly (Rob Mills), who pays Dean to transfer schools.

Several months later, Dean resumes stalking Elly but escapes when confronted by Finn and Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney). He later apologizes to Elly, explaining personal difficulties after dropping out of school. Nonetheless, he meets with Finn’s mother Claudia Watkins (Kate Raison), whose private investigator compensates him for information about Elly’s past.

Vance Abernethy

Vance Abernethy, played by Conrad Coleby, was introduced on 16 May 2019. His casting was announced on 18 April 2019. Coleby spoke positively about the role, emphasizing his good relationship with cast members, particularly Rebekah Elmaloglou (Terese). Vance appears as the older boyfriend of Roxy Willis (Zima Anderson) and a former lover of Terese Willis, with whom he shared a tumultuous history. Their dynamic is described as "spicy" and "affectionate," with Vance fully aware of the family connection between Terese and Roxy, reminiscing about his past with Terese while challenging her current life and clashing with her partner Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis).

Upon arriving in Erinsborough to see Roxy, Vance reveals to Leo Tanaka (Tim Kano) that he financed her purchase of half the Back Lane Bar, making him Leo’s business partner. To secure Leo’s support, Vance stops Roxy from rebranding the bar. He reconnects with Terese and Ned Willis (Ben Hall), who initially introduced him to Roxy. Vance chooses not to disclose his history with Terese to Roxy but reassures both women of his genuine love for Roxy.

A significant storyline involves a racehorse that Vance and Roxy plan to sell in order to fund their future together. When their first buyer backs out, Leo discovers the horse has been stolen—a fact unknown to Roxy. Vance searches for another buyer while Roxy sells it cheaply to Paul. After Ned informs Terese about the horse’s true status, she pressures Vance to end his relationship with Roxy and leave town; she later convinces Paul to cancel the sale. Vance finds a new purchaser and prepares to leave alone, sharing an emotional goodbye with Terese.

After learning that Vance sold the horse to Pierce Greyson (Tim Robards), Terese confronts him with threats of legal action but ultimately shows concern for his wellbeing. Paul later contacts the police after Leo reveals that Vance embezzled funds from the bar. Terese urges Vance to flee but refuses to accompany him. Weeks later, upon hearing about a kiss between Roxy and Paul, Vance returns and assaults Paul. Although Gary Canning (Damien Richardson) is initially blamed for the attack, Roxy feels remorseful for allowing an innocent person to take the blame and encourages Vance to confess if he truly loves her. As he attempts to leave a backpackers’ hostel, police arrest him.

Ebony Buttrose

Ebony Buttrose, portrayed by Christie Hayes, made her first appearance on 7 June 2019. Hayes's casting was revealed on 24 March 2019. She described joining the cast of Neighbours as a "dream come true" and regarded the role as her most rewarding television experience. Ebony becomes entangled in a "complex" romantic triangle and is officially engaged to Pierce Greyson. An Inside Soap journalist observed that Pierce’s former partner, Chloe Brennan, is wary of Ebony, who harbors numerous secrets. Hayes remarked that Ebony has "many layers."

Ebony arrives at the Back Lane Bar intending to meet Pierce but unexpectedly sees him kissing Chloe. Pierce dismisses it as a misunderstanding. The following day, Ebony invites Chloe for coffee and recounts how she met Pierce at a charity event. Ebony persuades Pierce to purchase a house for them in Melbourne. Terese permits Ebony to employ Chloe as her personal concierge while setting up her perfume business office. Ebony warns Chloe against making an enemy of her or expecting to reclaim Pierce’s affection. Despite the friction, Ebony agrees to maintain a friendship with Chloe if given some space.

Chloe uncovers that Ebony’s crystal perfume bottles are actually made of glass and discovers bank transfers from Ebony to a private account. Ebony confesses that she has been redirecting some of Pierce’s funds to support her sister, Crystal Buttrose, a single mother residing in their new home—details she had concealed from Pierce. With Chloe’s assistance, Crystal secures alternative accommodation. After Pierce learns about Crystal living there, Ebony admits the truth, explaining that she initially viewed Pierce as a means to improve her life but eventually fell in love and feared losing him if he knew about her family.

Pierce demands Ebony sign an agreement committing to their marriage without financial claims or accept $250,000 to leave. Ebony signs but becomes uneasy about Chloe and Pierce's friendship. She questions Chloe’s feelings toward Pierce; Chloe reassures her. After witnessing them share a hug, Ebony accepts Pierce’s cheque and departs from town.

Harlow Robinson

Harlow Robinson, played by Jemma Donovan, first appeared on 15 July 2019. Donovan's casting was announced on 26 March 2019 through the show's social media channels. She expressed pride in joining a series cherished across generations. Donovan comes from the Donovan acting lineage: her father Jason Donovan portrayed Harlow's great-uncle Scott Robinson, and her grandfather Terence Donovan played Doug Willis. Executive producer Jason Herbison praised Donovan’s audition and highlighted the family connection as an unexpected bonus. The role was tailored specifically for her, with Harlow’s storyline reflecting Donovan’s own relocation from the UK to Australia.

Harlow is part of the foundational Robinson family, introduced in 1985. It was later revealed that she is the daughter of Robert Robinson (Adam Hunter). Key characters Paul and David Tanaka encounter Harlow at the prison where Robert is incarcerated; although she misses meeting her father, David invites her to Erinsborough. Described as "quick witted and complicated," Harlow is characterized as determined and proactive.

On 17 May 2022, it was confirmed that Donovan had finished filming and that Harlow would depart the show prior to its August 2022 finale.

Mackenzie Hargreaves

Mackenzie Hargreaves, brought to life by Georgie Stone, made her first appearance on 30 August 2019 as the program's inaugural transgender character and marked the second instance of a transgender actress portraying a trans role on Australian television. Stone initiated contact with the show's producers in 2018, which led to her successful audition and subsequent casting. Over an eight-month collaboration, she worked closely with the production team to weave aspects of her personal journey into Mackenzie's storyline. Stone underscored the significance of genuine representation that mirrors modern society, addressing topics such as coming out, interpersonal relationships, and experiences of bullying.

Scarlett Brady

Scarlett Brady, enacted by Christie Whelan Browne, was introduced on 9 September 2019. Her casting announcement came in June 2019, with the character depicted as multifaceted and troubled, harboring a shadowed history and concealed motives. Scarlett arrives in Erinsborough driven by a vendetta connected to Ned Willis (Ben Hall). Whelan Browne returned to this role in September 2020, expressing excitement about the intricate plotlines and character complexity despite filming during pregnancy amid the COVID-19 crisis. Scarlett's reappearance aired on 15 September 2020, concluding with her departure on 26 October.

Following an encounter with Ned at an airport bar where she was distressed over a canceled wedding, Scarlett tails him to Erinsborough. Utilizing her background in hospitality, she secures employment at Lassiters Hotel and begins to manipulate Ned’s personal life, focusing particularly on undermining his girlfriend Yashvi Rebecchi (Olivia Junkeer). Scarlett’s tactics escalate from sabotage—such as inflicting injuries and spreading falsehoods—to psychological coercion and physical violence, including stabbing Ned during a Halloween event. These actions lead to her arrest and ongoing disputes with several residents.

Scarlett further complicates Ned’s life by adopting an online persona to blackmail him into creating a portrait for her new fiancé as retribution for their history. This fuels conflict between Ned and Yashvi and culminates in Scarlett sabotaging Ned’s art show. After a violent encounter at the maze where she previously attacked Ned, Scarlett vanishes, resulting in Ned being wrongfully accused of her presumed death.

Using Ned’s art gallery as a refuge, Scarlett attempts to harm Bea Nilsson (Bonnie Anderson) by tampering with her vehicle, inadvertently causing injuries to others. Investigations uncover suspicious details surrounding the demise of Scarlett’s family, suggesting her involvement. A staged wedding is orchestrated to draw Scarlett out; during an attempted acid attack against Ned, she suffers burns and is hospitalized. Ultimately, she admits to framing Ned for her own murder.

Hendrix Greyson

Hendrix Greyson, portrayed by Ben Turland, made his debut on 13 September 2019. Announced on 1 September, Hendrix appeared as the estranged son of Pierce Greyson (Tim Robards). He arrives in Erinsborough following expulsion from boarding school, coinciding with Pierce's efforts to reconcile with Chloe Brennan (April Rose Pengilly). Pierce acknowledges having played a limited role in raising Hendrix and his sister, which leads to tension with his charming yet resentful son. Hendrix later pursues romantic interest in Chloe. Matthew Myers from DNA characterized him as "a rich spoiled brat," while Turland explained that Hendrix’s misbehavior stems from the absence of a paternal figure, contributing to initially unfavorable audience reactions. On 3 June 2022, Hendrix was written out following complications related to a lung transplant—a storyline developed prior to the show's cancellation and Turland's contract conclusion.

Prudence Wallace

Prudence "Prue" Wallace, portrayed by Denise van Outen, made her debut on 20 September 2019. The announcement of Van Outen joining the cast was made on 12 June 2019. Initially, she filmed scenes in London alongside Stefan Dennis (who plays Paul Robinson) and Rebekah Elmaloglou (who portrays Terese Willis), before transitioning to the Melbourne studio ensemble. Prue is introduced as the mysterious mother of Harlow Robinson (Jemma Donovan), who had been introduced earlier that year. Van Outen characterized Prue as playful and enjoyable to embody. Her storyline involves a cult; when Harlow’s guardians Paul and Terese encounter Prue in London, she minimizes her maternal role and is pressured by cult member Graham to cut ties with Harlow.

Upon returning to Erinsborough, Prue expresses dissatisfaction with Harlow’s living arrangements amid ongoing scandals and personal turmoil. She forms a romantic relationship with Gary Canning (Damien Richardson), while simultaneously grappling with financial demands imposed by the Restoration Order cult. At one point, she attempts theft, but Gary intervenes and provides her with financial assistance. Prue endeavors to persuade Harlow to accompany her to London and join the cult; however, Harlow rejects this after uncovering Prue’s true motives. Prue then leaves suddenly, abandoning Harlow.

The following year, Prue comes back claiming she has left the Order and aims to mend her relationship with Harlow. During a family barbecue, she shocks everyone by announcing her engagement to Gary. It is later revealed that financial difficulties led to her expulsion from the cult. Upon learning this, Gary cancels their wedding plans. Prue pursues him but is tragically killed instantly by a bomb set by Finn Kelly (Rob Mills) after opening a package intended for their honeymoon destination.

Graham Isheev

Graham Isheev, played by Richard Arnold, first appeared on 20 September 2019. Arnold’s casting was revealed alongside that of Denise van Outen, who portrays Prue Wallace. Graham’s role is limited to a single episode filmed in London, where he exerts a manipulative influence over Prue. Simon Timblick from What's on TV referred to him as "a shady character."

Within the plot, Graham watches as Prue meets with her daughter’s grandfather Paul Robinson and his partner Terese Willis. He advises Prue that it is time to sever ties with Harlow Robinson, suggesting a divisive approach.

Grant Hargreaves

Grant Hargreaves, portrayed by Paul Mercurio, made his first appearance on 8 October 2019. His casting was announced on 29 September 2019. Grant is the estranged father of Mackenzie Hargreaves (Georgie Stone). Mackenzie’s friend Shane Rebecchi has been searching for him at Mackenzie’s request, hoping for reconciliation. Initially, Grant struggles with acceptance and mistakenly uses Mackenzie’s previous name, but later attempts to repair their relationship.

Grant returns again in June 2022 to give Mackenzie away at her wedding to Hendrix Greyson (Ben Turland). Their initial reunion is tense; Grant admits he still thinks of Mackenzie as male, causing friction. After Shane confronts him about his attitude, Grant requests a fresh start and begins using Mackenzie’s correct name. He is invited to attend the Be You Ball father-daughter dance but ultimately declines due to discomfort.

Later developments see Grant experiencing a workplace injury and facing financial hardship, prompting renewed contact with Mackenzie along with an apology for his previous absences. With support from Shane and legal representation provided pro bono by Toadfish Rebecchi, Grant files a WorkSafe claim. He participates in community events recognizing Mackenzie as his daughter and reveals that he has two other children from a different relationship, inviting Mackenzie to meet them.

Two years later, Grant returns once more for Mackenzie’s wedding, walking her down the aisle and briefly clashing with Hendrix’s father, Pierce Greyson. Following Hendrix’s unexpected death, Grant offers support to Mackenzie but eventually leaves due to disagreements regarding her grieving process.

Kane Jones

Kane Jones, enacted by Barry Conrad, made his first appearance on 15 November 2019 within a narrative arc centered around Ned Willis (Ben Hall) joining an underground fight club as a means to cope with his PTSD. Conrad returned to the role when Kane reemerged to oversee illicit blackjack games involving Hendrix Greyson (Benny Turland). The actor expressed excitement about reprising the character, highlighting Kane’s surprising reappearance following his incarceration.

Having been released early due to good conduct, Kane's character was portrayed with greater depth, employing intimidation tactics to reclaim Hendrix's mounting gambling debts. Conrad emphasized that Kane does not possess "the DNA to kill," portraying him as more serious than himself. He also showed interest in delving into Kane’s history to reveal the nuances of his personality beyond the archetypal tough antagonist.

At the local gym known as The Shed, Kane introduces Ned to fighting without rules. After Ned secures a victory, Kane insists he continue fighting despite Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson) intervening. When Bea Nilsson (Bonnie Anderson) prepares for her own fight, Ned intervenes to stop her, and Yashvi Rebecchi (Olivia Junkeer) alerts the authorities, leading to the shutdown of the fight ring. In retaliation, Kane contaminates Yashvi’s drink with broken glass but is ultimately exposed and arrested after she records his confession.

Several months later, now on parole, Kane returns to Erinsborough to run illegal blackjack operations at Lassiters Hotel. Hendrix initially wins substantial sums but soon accrues a $10,000 debt as Kane encourages riskier wagers. Following complaints that force a venue change, Hendrix offers his Ramsay Street residence for hosting the games. Kane exerts pressure on Hendrix for repayment, accepting partial payments with exorbitant interest and eventually gaining ownership of the house through accumulated gambling losses.

Upon learning that Nicolette Stone (Charlotte Chimes) requires funds, Kane invites her to participate in the games. His intimidation escalates, prompting Hendrix to arm himself for self-defense. When Hendrix's stepmother threatens police involvement, Kane attempts to coerce Hendrix into signing over the property deed but is interrupted by Chloe Brennan (April Rose Pengilly). Ultimately, Kane is apprehended by Yashvi and her partner; although questioned regarding the kidnapping of Harlow Robinson (Jemma Donovan), he denies any involvement and provides an alibi.
