Carmella became aware of her pregnancy following the end of her relationship with Oliver and was concerned about the effects of her prescribed anti-depressants; however, medical assessments affirmed the baby's well-being. Subsequently, Carmella entered into a relationship with her business associate Marco Silvani (Jesse Rosenfeld), which led Oliver to worry about his involvement in Chloe’s upbringing. Carmella experienced premature labor requiring an emergency cesarean section due to fetal distress. Chloe was admitted to neonatal care but soon began breathing on her own.
After Marco succumbed to injuries from a bushfire, Oliver withdrew his custody claim and accepted a new employment opportunity, leading Carmella and Chloe to join him later. They returned to Erinsborough in 2011 alongside Chloe to support Carmella’s mother, Rebecca Napier.

During the formal, Chris presents Bridget with a necklace; later they leave together, but Bridget resists progressing their relationship further.

He characterized Andrew as "tall, dark and extremely handsome," driven, and attracted to Libby Kennedy. Andrew enters into a relationship with Rebecca Napier, presenting her with an alternative to Paul Robinson. However, when Rebecca defends Paul against harassment allegations, Andrew recognizes that she still harbors feelings for him. Feeling disheartened, Andrew opts to leave Erinsborough.
After his promotion to principal in September 2007, Andrew shows leniency by suspending Ringo Brown for stealing an exam paper only after persuasion from Ringo's brother Frazer Yeats. He participates on the interview panel for the head of senior school position and eventually offers the job to Libby Kennedy following Daniel Fitzgerald's withdrawal. At Libby and Dan's engagement celebration, Andrew shares a brief kiss with Elle Robinson, who then pulls away.
Andrew implements a strict zero-tolerance stance on violence after Bridget Parker shoves Justin Hunter, resulting in her expulsion and sparking protests at the school. When Rebecca Napier chains herself to the banisters in protest, Andrew becomes inadvertently handcuffed as well and agrees to engage in dialogue with Bridget.
At Charlie's bar, Andrew’s Army Reserves uniform causes confusion with Rebecca, which leads to a date and the start of their relationship. Paul’s jealousy prompts schemes that delay Andrew and set him up, but Andrew manages to reconcile with Rebecca. During a rafting competition organized by Andrew, a raft capsizes causing public outrage intensified by Paul’s critical article blaming Andrew.
Paul escalates matters by blackmailing Rebecca into ending her relationship with Andrew after discovering an incident involving a fellow soldier’s death during Andrew’s military service.

Casting director Jan Russ brought Mitchell back for Matt’s role, confident it would not confuse viewers. This character allowed Mitchell to explore a darker paternal figure compared to his earlier "good-guy" portrayals. Producers suggested Matt might return in future storylines.
In a major plotline, Sergeant Matt Freedman arrives following the kidnapping of Elle Robinson (Pippa Black) and Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne) by Pete Ferguson. When Paul Robinson and Rebecca Napier break into an office seeking Pete’s address, Matt nearly arrests them but later oversees Pete’s capture. Days afterward, Matt almost arrests Rebecca again after she fights with Jodie Smith at a football match. Upon seeing his daughter Donna in the crowd, he intervenes at Charlie's bar, scolding her for reckless behaviors including stealing his police car with boyfriend Ringo Brown (Sam Clark) for a joyride.
Donna’s reckless conduct escalates when she hits a dog and its owner, Nicola West (Imogen Bailey), compelling her to confess to Matt. To shield Donna, Matt instructs both her and Ringo to remain silent and tampers with evidence by damaging the car’s headlight. However, Elle persuades Donna to accept responsibility. When Detective Alec Skinner arrests Matt after Donna reveals the cover-up, Matt is released on bail and cautions Donna about the repercussions of his legal issues. He subsequently leaves town, requesting Donna cover for him temporarily.
This narrative underscores Matt’s complex position balancing his law enforcement responsibilities alongside familial difficulties, highlighting themes of loyalty, accountability, and internal conflict within the police environment.

Supporting Donna after an attack by Saffron Jankievicz (Shanyn Asmar), Simone encourages her to pursue legal action and assures ongoing support.

However, Steph later discovers Greg embracing his wife, Veronica Olenski (Caroline Lloyd), prompting a confrontation where Greg admits that his marriage has been effectively over for several months.
Despite these complications, Steph and Greg strive to sustain their relationship. After Veronica freezes their joint bank account, she later apologizes and attempts reconciliation, but Greg declines. Offered a job opportunity in Darwin, Greg invites Steph to join him; she opts to remain in Erinsborough while agreeing to maintain a long-distance relationship.
Several months later, Greg returns expressing a desire to start a family with Steph. His jealousy surfaces regarding her past with Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) and her involvement in a play about their relationship.

The characters were introduced as "cheeky" and "annoying," depicted as Donna's "worst nightmare." Merino characterized Simon as "a quiet and enigmatic boy" who is fiercely protective of his sisters, particularly Donna, and finds it difficult to place trust in others.
Upon arriving in Erinsborough with his sister Tegan, Simon initially experiences friction with the locals before they take up residence with Elle Robinson. Donna is displeased by their arrival but makes efforts to rebuild their relationship. Simon encounters social difficulties at a party and confronts Donna about family tensions, disclosing conflicts stemming from their parents' separation and her involvement in it. Following an altercation involving Donna’s boyfriend Ringo Brown, Simon aids in mending their relationship by sharing insights into Donna's personal development.
Their mother Cassandra Freedman (Tottie Goldsmith) later appears, prompting Simon to move in with her. Although he initially defends Cassandra, he soon suspects her intentions may be self-centered. In an attempt to disrupt Cassandra's date with Paul Robinson, Simon resorts to supergluing doors and cutting phone lines, which leads to a truce where Paul acknowledges Simon’s protective instincts. Simon also supports Tegan in standing up against bullying and encourages her to challenge their mother’s authority.
After stealing an iPod to gain attention, Simon returns it to Paul. As Cassandra's conduct deteriorates further, Simon and Tegan decide to leave for their grandmother's house. Elle helps them bid farewell to Donna and assists with their departure, concluding their storyline.

After being ejected, they disclose their identity as Donna's siblings and stay with Elle until Donna returns. Though initially upset by their arrival, Donna attempts to reconnect with them. Tegan reveals that their mother, Cassandra (Tottie Goldsmith), has a new boyfriend, motivating their relocation to Ramsay Street. At a party for Callum Jones (Morgan Baker), Tegan mistakenly believes Callum’s lazy eye is a serious condition, leading to embarrassment. When Donna and her boyfriend Ringo Brown (Sam Clark) break up, a jealous Tegan encourages them both to move on. Simon’s intervention helps reunite Donna and Ringo, much to Tegan’s frustration as she feels excluded and reacts negatively. To improve sibling dynamics, Donna organizes a mock chat show.
Following Cassandra’s arrival, Simon and Tegan move into her home. Tegan admits that Cassandra’s true aim is to pursue Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis). She assists Cassandra in shoplifting dresses from Harold's Store to gain an invitation to Libby Kennedy (Kym Valentine) and Daniel Fitzgerald's (Brett Tucker) wedding. Cassandra shortens Tegan’s school uniform deliberately to attract attention, resulting in bullying from Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan). After discarding the uniform, Tegan faces further harassment but confronts Kyle before standing up to her mother. Seeking support from Bridget Parker (Eloise Mignon), Tegan adopts casual clothing that surprises Cassandra.
When Cassandra escalates her schemes by attempting to frame Rebecca Napier (Jane Hall) for serving alcohol to a minor as revenge, Tegan hesitates to participate.
