Kathy Carpenter
Kathy Carpenter, played by Tina Bursill, made her debut on 10 March 2014. The announcement of Bursill's casting came in November 2013, with filming commencing in early 2014. Kathy is the former spouse of the long-standing character Lou Carpenter (Tom Oliver). Notably, Bursill and Oliver had collaborated previously during the 1970s. Kathy returned for brief guest appearances in July 2014 and again in 2016.
Kathy arrives on Ramsay Street to visit her daughter Lauren (Kate Kendall). She is uniquely aware that Lauren was pregnant with Brad Willis's (Kip Gamblin) child and assisted her in concealing the pregnancy. Executive producer Jason Herbison revealed that Kathy would bring news capable of profoundly impacting the Turner and Willis families, generating considerable drama throughout the year. Bursill commented that Kathy would astonish Lauren by disclosing that her child is alive, information she had hidden to shield her daughter. Additionally, Kathy and Lou experience conflict during her stay.
Lauren intends to inform her husband, Matt (Josef Brown), and Brad about the baby from two decades earlier. Upon arrival, Kathy immediately clashes with Lou but remains with Lauren. She advises Lauren to keep the child’s existence a secret but ultimately confesses that the baby was adopted and is still living, which devastates Lauren. Unable to forgive Kathy, Lauren asks her to leave; however, Kathy purchases Number 32 for Lauren’s family before departing.
Several months later, Lauren invites Kathy back for Amber and Bailey’s sake. Kathy arrives without prior notice, securing accommodation at Lassiter's and soon clashes with Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou) as well as Lauren’s employee Paige Smith (Olympia Valance). After Paige expresses interest in her homeware business, Kathy agrees to mentor her. Despite Paige’s protests, Kathy hires a private investigator to locate her granddaughter. When it is revealed that Paige is the granddaughter she has been searching for, Kathy suffers a heart attack that leads to a car accident involving Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney). Following surgery, Kathy discloses Paige’s identity and decides to return to Queensland.
Kathy comes back ahead of Lauren's wedding, where tension between her and Lou remains until they clear up a misunderstanding about their history. They reconcile and renew their vows ceremonially before departing Erinsborough together in the camper van used for Lauren and Brad’s wedding.
Sienna Matthews
Sienna Matthews, portrayed by Sarah Roberts, first appeared on 21 March 2014. Roberts had previously appeared in Neighbours as Clare Henderson (2010) and Jess Walker (2011). Sienna was introduced through the webisode series Brennan on the Run, which focused on Mark Brennan’s period in witness protection. Her arrival aimed at winning Mark back and immediately led to confrontations with his former partner Kate Ramsay.
Sienna's arrival created friction as Mark made it clear he still loved Kate, prompting Sienna to insist Kate keep her distance. After moving in with Mark, media outlets described Sienna as "unstable" and "psycho." She repeatedly broke into Mark's home in attempts to undermine his relationship with Kate. Following Kate's murder, Sienna became a suspect due to an unverified alibi but was later exonerated when a taxi driver confirmed her whereabouts.
Although Mark initially rejected her advances, Sienna remained by his side after claiming she had lost her job and home. She assisted him in sorting through Kate's belongings and kissed him; however, Mark asked her to leave before eventually allowing her to stay again. After police questioned her about a threatening note sent to Kate, Sienna denied involvement and ultimately departed, wishing Mark success in finding Kate’s true killer.
Naomi Canning
Naomi Canning, brought to life by Morgana O'Reilly, made her first appearance on 25 March 2014. The character was initially teased in October 2013 by Colette Mann, who portrays Naomi's distant mother, Sheila Canning.

She characterized Naomi as lively yet secretive, with a storyline that challenges an established relationship through her pursuit of a married man.
Will Dempier
Will Dempier, portrayed by Christian Heath, debuted on 8 April 2014. His casting was revealed shortly before his first episode aired, though Heath had completed filming several months prior. Heath maintained his native English accent for the role and expressed enthusiasm about joining the series.
Introduced as a nurse and romantic interest for the established character Chris Pappas, Will's connection with Chris begins during a hospital stay, creating tension as Chris contemplates ending his current relationship. Will made a return in 2017 in a recurring capacity.
Within the storyline, Will supports Chris during his medical treatment and they develop a romantic bond despite complications involving Chris’s former boyfriend. Conflicts arise due to their dogs’ interactions, leading to their eventual breakup. Three years later, Will flirts with patient David Tanaka but encounters professional difficulties after being accused of inappropriate behavior—an allegation later uncovered as orchestrated by Paul Robinson. Will and David share a brief romantic encounter, though challenges emerge from David’s lack of experience and external cautions.
Daniel Robinson
Daniel Robinson, played by Tim Phillipps, first appeared on 29 April 2014. Announced on 2 December 2013, his casting highlighted Daniel’s resemblance to his on-screen parents Scott (Jason Donovan) and Charlene Robinson (Kylie Minogue). Daniel arrives in Erinsborough to explore the origins of his parents' relationship and reconnects with his uncle Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis). Phillipps described Daniel as an easygoing, free-spirited nature lover without hidden secrets or burdens. The character was crafted to potentially create tension with Paul and engage in romantic plots on Ramsay Street.
Ethan Smith
Ethan Smith, enacted by Matthew Little, made his debut on 27 May 2014. His introduction was announced on 6 May 2014, presenting Ethan as an enigmatic figure linked to an existing character. Before filming, Little sought guidance from his brother-in-law, actor Dan Ewing. Ethan’s storyline centers around locating his adopted sister Paige, which leads him to Brad Willis (Kip Gamblin), who initially denies any knowledge of him. Ethan reaches out to Paige (Olympia Valance) to reveal that her biological parents have found her.
Ethan becomes involved romantically with Imogen Willis (Ariel Kaplan), affecting her academic commitments. His arrival complicates Paige's attempts to keep her adoption a secret. After encouraging Paige to be truthful about her background and observing her increasing fixation on uncovering Kathy Carpenter (Tina Bursill), Ethan proposes that she move with him to Ibiza for a fresh start. Paige declines, and Ethan subsequently leaves for Ibiza.
Paige Smith
Paige Smith (formerly known as Novak), brought to life by Olympia Valance, made her first appearance on 2 June 2014. The announcement of Valance's casting came on 9 March 2014, marking her debut acting role following a highly competitive audition. Valance characterized Paige as "cool, sexy, and a little edgy," with a friendly and approachable demeanor rather than a harsh one. Series producer Jason Herbison described her as "fiery" and deemed her "an ideal choice" for the character. Paige is the offspring of Lauren Carpenter (Kate Kendall) and Brad Willis (Kip Gamblin). Upon discovering that her biological parents were seeking her, Paige traveled to Erinsborough to learn more about them, initially concealing her true identity.
Nate Kinski
Nate Kinski, portrayed by Meyne Wyatt, was introduced on 18 August 2014. Wyatt’s casting was revealed on 20 July 2014, which led him to relocate to Melbourne for filming purposes. He is notable as the first indigenous actor to hold a regular role since the series began in 1985. Executive producer Jason Herbison stressed that Wyatt was selected based on talent alone, without any tokenistic intentions. Nate’s connection to Susan (Jackie Woodburne) and Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher) stems from Susan’s marriage to his uncle Alex Kinski (Andrew Clarke). Wyatt described Nate as occasionally misunderstood but inherently well-meaning, with his storyline delving into the reasons behind his atypical behavior.
Dakota Davies
Dakota Davies, enacted by Sheree Murphy, first appeared on 19 September 2014. Murphy, recognized for her work in British soap operas, was confirmed for the role on 16 June 2014 and completed a six-week recurring arc. She expressed excitement about joining Neighbours, mentioning the possibility of relocating permanently to Australia with her husband.
Dakota is depicted as a British businesswoman and former associate of a main character, with a complicated past involving Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis). Murphy described Dakota as worldly and determined, someone who pursues her objectives without hesitation. Industry observers labeled the character as "fiery," particularly during her romantic storyline.
Murphy returned to portray Dakota in 2017 within a London-based plot alongside Tim Kano’s character, Leo Tanaka, reprising the role for a single episode in March 2018. Murphy emphasized Dakota’s bold personality and the intrigue surrounding her comeback.
While in Erinsborough, Dakota reconnects with Paul Robinson, unveiling a history of business betrayal and a romantic involvement with Paul’s deputy, Carlos. She manipulates Paul into funding a bar that serves as a cover for diamond smuggling, concealing diamonds within coffee shipments under Paul’s nephew Daniel’s name. Dakota flirts with Mark Brennan, sparking conflict with his partner Paige Smith. When authorities uncover the smuggling scheme, Dakota vanishes but later extorts $10,000 from Paul to ensure her departure.
Four years on, Dakota resurfaces in São Paulo amid an investigation led by Paul’s son Leo Tanaka into a factory fire responsible for Rafael Humphreys’ mother’s death. Posing as a business contact meeting Leo, Dakota grows wary when Leo reveals his identity and threatens her with evidence of stolen diamonds. She manages to escape with a USB drive later linked to the fire, which was set for insurance fraud purposes.
Sharon Canning
Sharon Canning, played by Natasha Herbert, made her first appearance on 6 October 2014 as the mother of Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan), initially introduced during Kyle's wedding to Georgia Brooks (Saskia Hampele). After a short stint in 2014, the character was brought back in 2015 following encouragement from Milligan and Colette Mann (Sheila Canning), who saw opportunities for more complex storylines. Herbert returned to the role once again in 2022 for Kyle's marriage to Roxy Willis (Zima Anderson), with Sharon reappearing on 19 January in Australia and two days earlier in the UK. Herbert described Sharon’s visit as brief and fun, highlighting her stronger connection with Roxy compared to Georgia. Milligan humorously remarked that Sharon "just comes for the free alcohol."
Sharon arrives to see Kyle before his wedding and takes part in the ceremony. At the reception, she discusses her personal issues with Matt Turner (Josef Brown) and leaves her hotel key with him before departing. Five months later, Sharon reconnects with Matt; they share drinks and head to her hotel room, but their encounter is interrupted by Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou). After Matt’s passing, Sharon returns and, despite Terese’s warnings, tries to inform Matt’s wife, Lauren (Kate Kendall), about their affair. Terese intervenes again and eventually sends Sharon on a cruise to keep her away from Lauren. When confronted by Lauren, Sharon admits that Terese paid her off to maintain distance.
Seven years later, Sharon comes back for Kyle’s second wedding to Roxy and helps with the preparations. She notices flirtation between Glen Donnelly (Richard Huggett) and Roxy’s mother, Gemma Willis (Beth Buchanan), and unexpectedly has a sexual encounter with Glen in the honeymoon suite the night prior to the wedding. The pair are discovered by Terese and Gemma. Sharon participates in the ceremony and continues spending time with Glen, returning together to the hotel later under Terese’s watchful eye.
Rain Taylor
Rain Taylor, portrayed by Airlie Dodds, first appeared on 29 October 2014, marking Dodds’s debut on television. Rain is introduced as Daniel Robinson’s former girlfriend, whose presence creates friction between Daniel and his fiancée Amber Turner. Dodds characterized Rain as a morally complex figure exhibiting both justified motivations and questionable behavior, blending a "good-natured" disposition with elements of narcissism.
Arriving in Erinsborough after losing her home due to the closure of her previous intentional community, Rain reveals her intention to found a new community called New Eden. She negotiates with Daniel’s uncle Paul Robinson for land acquisition. Although initially at odds with Amber, Rain gradually earns her trust by advocating sustainable living values. Rain confides in Amber about difficulties in her relationship with boyfriend Wolfie; however, Wolfie later discloses that their breakup was caused by Rain’s unfaithfulness.
Amber’s mother, Lauren Turner, opposes Rain’s influence and successfully blocks the New Eden initiative through council objections. Subsequently, Rain seeks an alternative location at Mornington Peninsula and invites Amber and Daniel to join her there. Employing guided meditation sessions, Rain manipulates Amber into ending her relationship with Daniel and later kisses Daniel herself, insisting he is not suited for Amber. When confronted about her actions, Rain claims they are incompatible before leaving Erinsborough.
Gary Canning
Gary Canning, played by Damien Richardson, made his first appearance on 7 November 2014. The character was announced on 15 October 2014 as the distant father of Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan), having abandoned Kyle when he was eight years old. Their reunion was emotionally complex, featuring a mix of feelings. Gary also reestablished connections with his mother Sheila (Colette Mann) and sister Naomi (Morgana O'Reilly) upon arriving in Erinsborough. Richardson returned to filming in October 2015, with Gary coming back to the screen in early 2016. He then became a regular cast member from June 2016 until the character’s departure in February 2020.
Ezra Hanley
Ezra Hanley, portrayed by Steve Nation, first appeared on 19 November 2014. After spending twenty years auditioning for roles on Neighbours and Home and Away, Nation finally secured this part, which he considered a significant achievement in his career. Ezra's character was created to "cause disruption" and returned for additional scenes filmed in February 2015.
Within the storyline, Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) invites Ezra to Lassiter's Erinsborough to assist Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou) with organizing a festival, while suspecting Ezra’s aim is to interfere in Terese’s marriage to Brad Willis (Kip Gamblin). Ezra postpones his return trip to Perth, pursuing Terese romantically until she rejects him. After an attempted assault on Terese, Ezra is dismissed and subsequently sues both her and Paul. Following threats from Paul and Brad, Ezra is discovered severely beaten—later revealed to be an attack arranged by Paul through Gary Canning.
The following year, after the Quill Group purchases Lassiter's Erinsborough from Paul, Ezra returns as acquisitions manager. He soon clashes with Sheila Canning (Colette Mann) and reduces Terese’s position to receptionist, prompting her resignation. Ezra demotes Sheila and hires Nate Kinski (Meyne Wyatt) as a trainee bar manager at The Waterhole. He also warns Brad to stay away from his son Clem Hanley (Max Whitelaw). When allegations emerge accusing Ezra of assaulting Clem’s ex-girlfriend Chloe Jones (Gaby Seow), he is arrested and suspended from his duties. Terese takes over as Lassiter’s manager of operations.
Erin Rogers
Erin Rogers, brought to life by Adrienne Pickering, first appeared on 24 November 2014. Pickering described Erin as a demanding role due to her troubled and dysfunctional past, which fuels her erratic behavior. Erin is an old acquaintance of Sonya Mitchell (Eve Morey) who arrives in Erinsborough intent on disrupting Sonya’s life. She holds Sonya responsible for her drug addiction and the loss of her daughter, leading to a plot involving anonymous poison pen letters and personal confrontations.
Erin breaks into Sonya’s house and attacks Mark Brennan (Scott McGregor), later confessing to stalking and harassment charges. She faces assault and trespass accusations but is bailed out by Sonya, who hopes to help Erin recover and reconnect with her daughter. Erin briefly works collecting glasses at The Waterhole but resigns after her troubled history becomes known.
Her health worsens due to inadequate living conditions until Brennan convinces her to seek treatment under Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher). Erin discovers that her daughter, Cat (Maleeka Gasbarri), wishes to see her. Despite setbacks including a failed drug encounter and difficult visits, Erin slowly rebuilds their relationship through activities like playing cricket together. However, the mounting pressure causes Erin to steal from Mark and flee. Sonya tries to mend their relationship, but Erin initially refuses to come back.
