Below is a compilation of characters introduced in 2016, listed according to their debut dates, all brought into the show under the guidance of executive producer Lucy Addario. The series' 29th season commenced broadcasting on 1 February 2016.[1] The character Dylan Carter made his initial appearance during the season opener.

Dylan Carter
Dylan Carter, played by Jeremy Lindsay Taylor, made his first appearance on 1 February 2016.[2] Taylor’s casting was revealed in August 2015, with the actor describing Dylan as a "complex" detective tied to Summer Bay.[3] He returned to the role in 2017 and made a guest appearance again in September 2019.[4]
Dylan serves as the lead investigator in the murder case of Charlotte King (Erika Heynatz), collaborating with his former fiancée Katarina Chapman (Pia Miller) and Mike Emerson (Cameron Stewart). Despite their complicated past, they work together to interrogate suspects such as Martin Ashford (George Mason), Zac MacGuire (Charlie Clausen), and Hunter King (Scott Lee). Dylan’s inquiry results in charging Zac with murder; however, Zac is later freed when his attorney Morag Bellingham (Cornelia Frances) presents an alibi.
Tensions escalate when Dylan resorts to blackmailing a judge to sway bail rulings, leading to his suspension. His actions intensify further when he assaults Ash and takes hostages at 31 Saxon Avenue before being apprehended.
Later story arcs reveal Dylan’s blood and firearm discovered on a boat connected to Robbo (Jake Ryan), who suffers from amnesia, sparking doubts about Dylan’s status. It is uncovered that Dylan survived a violent clash with Robbo and subsequently masterminded Robbo’s abduction while denying involvement in the deaths of Robbo’s family. Following a confrontation involving criminal figure Victor (Patrick Thompson), both men are detained by Australian Federal Police. Weeks afterward, Dylan is reported dead while incarcerated.[5]
Isla Schultz
Isla Schultz, played by singer Samantha Jade, made her debut on 3 March 2016. The announcement of Jade's casting came on 5 September 2015, with Jade expressing enthusiasm about broadening her acting portfolio. Filming began soon after the announcement, and her character's storyline concluded in November 2016.
Isla arrives in Summer Bay carrying "bad intentions" and a concealed history. Jade characterized her as "somewhat mischievous − a bit of a troublemaker" linked to dubious associates but ultimately possessing good intentions. Isla becomes romantically involved with Kyle Braxton (Nic Westaway).
Employed by Dave Rogers, Isla is assigned to recover a debt from Kyle, which results in both being kidnapped and forced to dig graves for themselves before managing to escape. Isla remains close to Kyle, and their relationship develops. Her ex-partner, Harry Kingswood, brings their daughters for a visit, stirring conflict regarding custody. When Isla learns Harry plans to relocate interstate, she attempts to rob the Reefton Lakes golf club but is dissuaded by Kyle. To shield her, Kyle takes the blame for the crime and receives a thirteen-year prison sentence. Before leaving, Isla pledges to ensure their sacrifices are not in vain.
Isla also features in the spinoff Home and Away: All or Nothing (2017).
Lindsay Ford
Lindsay Ford, portrayed by Georgia Flood, first appeared on 17 March 2016. Flood’s casting was announced in October 2015, with the character unveiled in March 2016. Despite initial hesitation, Flood accepted the role, appreciating Lindsay’s "very cool" personality and enjoyed her guest appearance.
Lindsay tries to reach out to Hunter King (Scott Lee), but he initially ignores her. She visits the caravan park, introduces herself to Hunter’s girlfriend Olivia (Raechelle Banno), and reveals that she had sheltered Hunter on the night he left Summer Bay. Although Lindsay intends to stay without disrupting Hunter and Olivia’s relationship, she later confesses to Olivia that she kissed Hunter. Her behavior escalates as she hosts a beach party and manipulates events leading to Hunter and Olivia’s breakup. After stealing Alf Stewart’s (Ray Meagher) ute and causing Hunter’s injury, Lindsay flees. Olivia warns her to leave town or face legal consequences.
Mick Jennings
Mick Jennings, enacted by Kristian Schmid, made his first appearance on 5 May 2016 as the long-lost son of established character Irene Roberts (Lynne McGranger). Irene had previously disclosed a teenage pregnancy resulting from rape, with the child given up for adoption. Mick was later revealed as the rapist of Billie Ashford (Tessa de Josselin), a storyline described as "dark," portraying Mick as a "twisted" antagonist.
Mick arrives under the guise of being Chris Harrington’s (Johnny Ruffo) uncle, but Irene becomes suspicious. He kidnaps Irene while claiming to be her son; after a police chase and DNA testing, Mick is confirmed as Irene’s child. Following his release from a psychiatric facility, Mick tries to reconnect with Irene but is arrested for violating an AVO. Upon learning he fathered Billie’s daughter Luc Patterson, he briefly abducts Luc before surrendering to authorities.
Several months later, Mick applies for parole but faces rejection from Irene and hostility from Billie's brother Martin Ashford (George Mason). Once paroled, Irene supports him at a halfway house but distances herself after community backlash upon learning about Mick’s past. Offered employment in Western Australia mines by Alf Stewart (Ray Meagher), Mick initially declines but later accepts following ongoing disputes in Summer Bay.
Mick’s fight for custody of Luc intensifies amid threats from Martin Ashford and difficulties managing his mental health. After Luc is taken from him by VJ Patterson (Matt Little) and leaves Summer Bay, Mick moves to Western Australia for mining work with Irene’s support. Months later, after experiencing a mining accident, Irene travels to assist him.
Tori Morgan
Tori Morgan, portrayed by Penny McNamee, made her debut on 5 May 2016. The announcement of McNamee’s casting came on 22 November 2015.

She is the first among the four Morgan siblings to arrive, evaluating whether it is safe for her brothers to join her there.

Heywood, who had a previous guest role on the series in 2009, was cast alongside James Stewart and Orpheus Pledger, who portray Brody’s brothers. Filming commenced in early December 2015. Brody is depicted as an ambitious chef with significant goals. While the Morgan brothers were anticipated to draw comparisons with the Braxtons from 2011, Heywood stressed that their relationships and story arcs are distinct.
Justin Morgan
Justin Morgan, enacted by James Stewart, arrived on screen on 7 June 2016. His casting alongside Jackson Heywood and Orpheus Pledger was revealed on 5 December 2015. Production began during the week of 7 December. This role marked Stewart’s return to a regular television part after taking a year off to care for his daughter. He focused on developing a fresh family dynamic rather than competing with past characters, remarking, "Creating this family is probably more our priority than taking over the Brax boys." In August 2017, Stewart was longlisted for Best Daytime Star at the Inside Soap Awards, although he did not make it to the viewer-selected shortlist.
Mason Morgan
Mason Morgan, portrayed by Orpheus Pledger, also debuted on 7 June 2016. His casting was announced together with that of his on-screen siblings. Pledger moved from Melbourne to Sydney to take on this role. Mason is characterized by an optimistic attitude and strong moral values. He is a medical student who strives to balance demanding studies with social activities and maintaining physical fitness.
Tabitha Ford
Tabitha Ford, played by Eliza Scanlen, appeared as a recurring student character from 21 July until 27 September 2016. Known for her antagonistic nature, Tabitha was described as one of the "most evil mean girls in soap," targeting fellow student Olivia Fraser Richards by exploiting Olivia’s troubled history and attempting to disrupt her relationships. Her manipulative behavior included tampering with exam results and impersonating Olivia’s abuser to blackmail her, which ultimately led to police involvement and Tabitha’s departure to boarding school. This storyline explored themes of rivalry and psychological manipulation among students.
Hope Morrison
Hope Morrison, brought to life by Jessica Falkholt, made her first appearance on 19 September 2016. She is introduced as Raffy Morrison's sister and the niece of Atticus Decker.
Hope confronts Justin Morgan after hearing a commotion near her residence. Martin Ashford and Kat Chapman step in, disclosing that Atticus Decker has been hospitalized following a deliberate car crash. Spike Lowe and his crew attempt to abduct Hope and Raffy; while Ashford manages to save Raffy, Hope is taken to the hospital. There, Spike impersonates her spouse to gain access to Decker's room and tries to administer a fatal injection before being apprehended. After these incidents, Hope and Raffy move in with Kat and Phoebe Nicholson.
Hope stirs conflict by wearing Phoebe's clothing and consuming her food without permission. She accuses John Palmer of damaging her phone and demands compensation unsuccessfully. Subsequently, she obtains part-time employment at Justin’s garage but steals customers' credit card information. Upon discovery, she is arrested for theft.
After her release, Hope learns from Justin that Raffy is actually Decker's daughter and her half-sister. She attempts to escape with Raffy by stealing Mason's car but injures her liver after slipping down a slope. Nate Cooper provides medical care before surgery. While recuperating, Hope cautions Raffy against trusting the Morgans, although Raffy eventually uncovers their familial link. The sisters plan to leave the Bay together; however, Hope is arrested again for stealing funds from Salt.
While held on remand and enduring solitary confinement, Hope receives prescribed diazepam from Nate but overdoses on stolen sleeping tablets, necessitating hospitalization. Before returning to prison, she apologizes to Phoebe, requests that she look after Raffy, and urges Raffy to place trust in the Morgans. A year later, Hope sends a handmade birthday card to Raffy.
Raffy Morrison
Raffy Morrison, portrayed by Olivia Deeble, first appeared on 19 September 2016. Deeble relocated from Melbourne to Sydney for filming and signed a three-year contract. She chose not to renew it, with her final scenes airing on 12 September 2019.
Raffy enters the storyline amid complex family dynamics involving the Morgans and their uncle Atticus Decker. After nearly being kidnapped, she moves into the Farmhouse alongside other central characters. It is later revealed that Raffy is the half-sister of the Morgan siblings, a discovery that causes emotional distress and leads her to briefly run away. She learns that her siblings are in witness protection following their parents' murder by drug dealers.
Due to Brody's escalating drug addiction, Raffy relocates to live with John Palmer and Marilyn Chambers but faces bullying and academic difficulties at school. She forms a friendship with newcomer Coco Astoni, though their relationship experiences challenges. Raffy undergoes a traumatic encounter with a former student and is rescued by Robbo.
Her social network grows as she reconciles with Coco, befriends Ryder Jackson, and navigates romantic relationships complicated by jealousy and misunderstandings. A pivotal storyline involves Raffy's discovery of a deceased individual alongside Ryder, leading to police involvement.
After sustaining a head injury during a camping trip, Raffy is diagnosed with epilepsy, affecting both her personal life and social interactions. She begins dating Ryder while supporting friends through various hardships including Maggie Astoni’s cancer diagnosis.
Raffy's relationship with Ty Anderson evolves from conflict into romance but ends when Ty reveals he is gay. She experiences bullying related to this breakup yet maintains friendships and supports Ty through family challenges.
As Raffy's epilepsy worsens, Mason Morgan creates an epilepsy oil derived from drugs, resulting in his arrest. Raffy also confronts Simone Bedford regarding Brody's infidelity and deals with accusations of graffiti attributed to Bella Nixon.
Her academic performance improves thanks to assistance from Jett James. Due to conflicting schedules, Raffy and Ryder end their relationship. Following Tori Morgan’s entry into witness protection, Raffy accepts a medical trial opportunity in Victoria and departs Summer Bay after leaving farewell notes for John and Marilyn.
Jeannie Woods
Jeannie Woods, played by Anna Bamford, made her first appearance on 1 November 2016 and remained on the show for approximately six weeks. She was introduced as a potential romantic interest for Brody Morgan (Jackson Heywood). Jeannie arrives in Summer Bay after receiving an invitation from Evelyn MacGuire (Philippa Northeast) to participate in a charity volleyball event.
Jeannie’s initial interaction with Brody occurs when she assists him in gathering barbecue items that had fallen. She registers to play volleyball alongside Matt Page (Alec Snow), while Brody sponsors Evelyn to join Jeannie’s team. After briefly disappearing, Jeannie returns to apply for a position at Brody’s restaurant, though their first meeting does not go smoothly. Despite this, Brody offers her employment, and they begin a flirtatious rapport during work.
Following some disputes and a short-lived decision to resign, Jeannie reconciles with Brody, resumes her job, and they start dating in secret. Her father, Randall (Paul Ceaser), later appears, unveiling their family’s survivalist way of life. Tensions arise due to Randall’s ideologies and Brody’s responses, which result in Jeannie leaving the restaurant and moving to Yabbie Creek, bringing their relationship to an end.
Ava Gilbert
Ava Gilbert was introduced on 8 December 2016 as the daughter of Justin Morgan (James Stewart). Initially portrayed by Grace Thomas and subsequently by Alice Roberts, the role was recast with Annabel Wolfe in February 2023 to accommodate more mature storylines reflecting Ava’s teenage development. Ava makes an unexpected return to visit her father and faces typical adolescent struggles, including developing feelings for Justin’s apprentice Theo Poulos (Matt Evans). Wolfe emphasized the shifting father-daughter relationship and the ensuing conflict, highlighting Ava’s rebellious and resentful nature that disrupts Justin’s life. She is scheduled to return for Justin’s wedding to Leah in April 2024.
Ava first reconnects with Justin by returning a cap and confirming their relationship during a visit to her mother Nina Gilbert's (Zoe Naylor) residence. After departing the city by bus, she forms bonds with Justin’s fiancée Phoebe Nicholson and sister Raffy Morrison. A dispute between Justin and Ava’s stepfather Brian Gilbert (Tom O'Sullivan) leads to Ava running away and being struck by a vehicle. Following this incident, Brian permits Justin to spend time with her. Ava later stays with Justin while Nina and Brian are away, befriends Scarlett Snow (Tania Nolan), and returns to meet Justin’s girlfriend Willow Harris (Sarah Roberts). She is kidnapped by Boyd Easton (Steve Le Marquand) but is rescued by Justin and Colby Thorne (Tim Franklin). After Justin and Willow end their relationship, Nina temporarily limits Ava’s contact with Justin.
Upon returning to the Bay, Ava initially resists forming a connection with Justin’s new partner Leah Patterson (Ada Nicodemou), but eventually develops warmth toward her through shared experiences. Family conflicts intensify as Ava reveals ongoing issues between Nina and Brian that lead to their separation. Justin becomes actively involved in supporting Ava by facilitating her contact with Brian and organizing camping trips with Leah. When health concerns arise within the Morgan family, Justin manages his responsibilities while informing Ava about his spinal tumour diagnosis and upcoming surgery, ensuring she is cared for elsewhere should complications occur.
