Chloe Cammeniti
Chloe Cammeniti, portrayed initially by Sarah May and subsequently by Daisy Zandveld, is the child of Carmella Cammeniti (Natalie Blair) and Oliver Barnes (David Hoflin). Born prematurely on 21 January 2008, Chloe experienced early respiratory challenges but eventually stabilized. After her birth, Oliver sought custody rights. In December 2008, Carmella and Chloe departed to Portugal to reunite with Oliver. The family made their way back in 2011.
Chloe’s early arrival necessitated an emergency caesarean section and specialized neonatal treatment, which caused considerable anxiety for Carmella. Although concerns arose regarding Carmella’s use of prescribed antidepressants during pregnancy, Chloe was born healthy. Carmella later entered into a relationship with her business associate Marco Silvani (Jesse Rosenfeld), complicating Oliver’s parental involvement.
Disputes between Oliver and Marco intensified over custody issues, particularly following Chloe’s christening. After Marco’s tragic death in a bushfire, Oliver withdrew his custody claim. He moved away for employment purposes, with Carmella and Chloe joining him several months later. The family returned to Erinsborough in 2011 to reconnect with Carmella’s mother, Rebecca Napier (Jane Hall).

Jodie welcomes Karl Kennedy back to Erinsborough Hospital and advises him about the department head. She informs Carmella Cammeniti that her newborn daughter Chloe is breathing without assistance. Working alongside Karl, Jodie treats patients such as Richard Aaronow, suffering from kidney failure, and Ringo Brown, who was unconscious after swimming. She also provides care for critically injured Chris Knight while navigating workplace tensions involving Nicola West and Bridget Parker. Jodie’s strained relationship with Nicola escalates amid rumors and professional conflicts, prompting Karl to warn her about her conduct.
During a football match between the Eastside Dingoes and Anson's Corner Bull Ants, Jodie confronts Rebecca Napier before being separated by Matt Freedman. She orients Cassandra Freedman regarding hospital procedures and challenges Karl after he revives Harold Bishop despite a "Not For Resuscitation" directive. Following a car accident involving the Parker family, Jodie examines Bridget’s daughter India and assists in treating Kate Ramsay’s minor injuries sustained in the crash.
After a fire at Number 26, Jodie manages emergency treatment for Andrew Robinson, Michael Williams, and Natasha Williams, providing reassurance to distressed patients like Natasha. She later facilitates Michael’s visit with his daughter and supports Jim Dolan during his cancer treatment several months afterward.

Andrews immediately connected with Heather’s character, describing her as spirited and career-focused, with journalism forming the core of her identity. While dedicated to her profession, Heather found balance through surfing. Andrews enjoyed portraying a character known for unpredictability.
Shortly after arriving in Erinsborough, Heather’s luggage is stolen but is recovered with assistance from taxi driver Frazer Yeats (Ben Lawson). Beginning her new role, she befriends Riley Parker (Sweeney Young). When Elle Robinson (Pippa Black) takes leave from work, Heather grows closer to Riley, who invites her to stay at his place; they later decide she will use her own apartment going forward. Heather clashes with Elle over a story about Stephanie Scully (Carla Bonner) and cautions Elle against letting personal biases affect her work.
While interviewing Lou Carpenter (Tom Oliver) about a protest event, Heather notices Riley acting distant. Later on a beach outing, they find an abandoned bag belonging to missing Ringo Brown (Sam Clark). Heather asks Riley to move in with her; he agrees but secretly desires to escape his adoptive aunt Nicola West (Imogen Bailey). Nicola makes inappropriate advances toward Riley; he kisses her but is caught by Heather, who ends their relationship.
Heather is tasked with investigating a series of forest fires suspected to be arson.

The character was crafted as a "bad boy" and featured prominently in a storyline involving Bridget Parker (Eloise Mignon), which executive producer Susan Bower commended for its dramatic effect.
Chris becomes a member of the Eastside Dingoes football team and quickly attracts Bridget Parker’s attention. His past includes dating Zeke Kinski’s girlfriend, Taylah Jordan, and causing disturbances at social gatherings. Following numerous encounters with Bridget and her family, Chris invites her to the school formal, where their relationship deepens but ends suddenly when Bridget rejects his advances.
After the formal, Chris is discovered unconscious in Lassiter’s park and hospitalized with severe injuries. Bridget initially hides what happened, prompting Steve Parker (Steve Bastoni) to take the blame to protect her. Despite medical efforts, Chris’ condition deteriorates, leading to his death during surgery, closing a gripping storyline that had significant impact on the series.

His background includes battles with alcoholism and a violent temper, which damaged his relationship with Steve, who suffered claustrophobia after being locked in a garden shed during one incident. Jim confesses to leaving behind Steve’s biological father, Gary Fuller—his best friend who died in Vietnam—when wounded, which adds layers of guilt and tension within the family.
During his short time on Ramsay Street, Jim’s conduct sparks disputes, including an argument over fish caught from a shop and clashes with his grandson Riley. Ultimately, Jim reconciles with Steve and Ned before returning to Oakey. His storyline explores themes of redemption and complex family relationships.

Callum Rebecchi
Callum Rebecchi (also known as Jones), portrayed by Morgan Baker, debuted on 9 June 2008. His character was created following the cancellation of a storyline that involved an illegal adoption by Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney), with Baker being cast in March 2008. Callum is described as somewhat of a mischievous youngster, injecting a lively spirit into the show. Moloney commented on the character’s addition as "really cool."
Jay Duncan
Jay Duncan, played by Charlie Clausen, appeared between 13 June and 18 July 2008. As a firefighter romantically linked to Stephanie Scully (Carla Bonner), Jay’s storyline revolves around his role in igniting a bushfire responsible for the death of Marco Silvani. Initially presenting as charismatic, Jay’s darker tendencies surface when he takes Steph and her child hostage, unveiling himself as a dangerous psychopath.
Jay’s connection to the Erinsborough fire brigade includes organizing community cleanup events and collaborating with Steve Parker (Steve Bastoni). The arson incident sparks an official inquiry during which Jay wrongfully accuses Callum Rebecchi of starting the fire and further escalates the situation by setting fire to Callum’s shed. Suspicion intensifies around Jay, particularly after media reports link his heroic acts to fires involving blonde single mothers.
Steph uncovers Jay’s true nature during a hostage crisis at a cabin, where his attempts to dominate and harm her climax in a stabbing episode. The arc concludes with Jay’s arrest, an assault while in custody, and a fleeting expression of remorse over Marco’s death shown to Carmella Cammeniti (Natalie Blair).

Milosevic left the series in February 2009, reflecting on her enjoyment working alongside fellow actors and appreciating the character's depth.
Kelly’s narrative included addressing behavioral challenges with student Callum Jones, prompting her to involve Human Services and collaborate with Toadie and his housemate Daniel Fitzgerald. Her professional reputation faced challenges when Callum discovered unauthorized modeling photographs of her had been published without permission, leading to her temporary suspension. A demonstration led by Callum resulted in her reinstatement; however, this caused strain that ended her relationship with Toadie.
In addition to supporting Callum academically, Kelly participated in community events such as the Ramsay Street Christmas lights display. She briefly reconciled with Toadie before experiencing psychic visions connected to missing student Zeke Kinski—an ability inherited from her family lineage. Despite initial skepticism from Karl Kennedy and conflict with Toadie regarding these visions, Kelly ultimately accepted a teaching opportunity in Malawi, departing after bidding farewell to Toadie.
Andrew Simpson
Andrew Simpson, played by Peter Flanigan, is an educator who assumed the role of principal at Erinsborough High in 2007, making his debut on 5 September 2008. Flanigan, previously a Gillette model, resumed his acting career after relocating back to Australia from the United States. Andrew is characterized as "tall, dark and strikingly handsome," driven, and develops an attraction to Libby Kennedy. Subsequently, he enters into a relationship with Rebecca Napier, presenting her with an alternative to Paul Robinson. Nevertheless, Rebecca's unresolved feelings for Paul prompt Andrew to depart from Erinsborough.
Elevated to principal in September 2007, Andrew shows a readiness to offer second chances, as seen when he suspends Ringo Brown for stealing an exam paper but reverses the decision after persuasion from Ringo’s brother Frazer Yeats. He serves on the interview panel for the head of senior school position and ultimately appoints Libby Kennedy following Daniel Fitzgerald's withdrawal. Andrew also attends Libby and Dan’s engagement celebration, during which he shares a brief kiss with Elle Robinson.
Andrew implements a strict no-violence policy after Bridget Parker pushes Justin Hunter, resulting in Bridget’s expulsion and triggering protests within the school community. When Rebecca Napier chains herself to the banisters in protest, Andrew becomes handcuffed alongside her but agrees to discuss matters with Bridget, leading to a resolution.
At Charlie's bar, while dressed in his Army Reserves uniform, Andrew is mistaken for a stripper. This misunderstanding leads to a date and eventually a romantic relationship with Rebecca. However, Paul Robinson, Rebecca’s former partner, schemes to sabotage their relationship by framing Andrew and coercing Rebecca into ending things. Following a rafting trip that ends in disaster and public accusations by Paul against Andrew, tensions escalate.
Despite these challenges, Andrew proposes to Rebecca, who accepts but hesitates about cohabitating. When Andrew overhears Rebecca defending Paul and questions her true feelings, she returns the engagement ring. Heartbroken by this turn of events, Andrew opts to transfer to another educational institution.
Matt Freedman
Matt Freedman, portrayed by Benjamin Mitchell, is Cassandra Noble’s ex-husband and father to Simon and Tegan Freedman. He also serves as stepfather to Donna Freedman (Margot Robbie).

Casting director Jan Russ brought Mitchell back for the character of Matt, offering him the opportunity to explore a darker role and portray fatherhood for the first time. Producers hinted at possible future returns for Matt.
Within the narrative, Sergeant Matt Freedman arrives following the kidnapping of Elle Robinson (Pippa Black) and Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne) by Pete Ferguson. He arrests Pete after police intervention initiated by Paul Robinson and Rebecca Napier. Later on, Matt nearly detains Rebecca after a fight breaks out at a football match but shifts focus upon spotting his daughter Donna fleeing the scene. At Charlie’s bar, Matt confronts Donna regarding her conduct and her relationship with Ringo Brown (Sam Clark). After Donna steals Matt’s keys and takes his police car for an unauthorized joyride with Ringo, Matt locates them and reprimands Ringo.
Following a car accident involving Donna, Ringo, and dog owner Nicola West (Imogen Bailey), Matt instructs them to remain silent and tampers with evidence to shield Donna from consequences. Elle discovers this cover-up, prompting Donna to admit the truth. Matt persuades lawyer Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) that Donna’s actions are attention-seeking; however, when Donna witnesses Matt threatening Ringo, she exposes the deception. Detective Alec Skinner arrests Matt, who is subsequently released on bail. Facing serious legal repercussions including possible imprisonment, Matt warns Donna she must manage independently before departing town and requests that she temporarily cover for him.
Simone Page
Simone Page, brought to life by Laura Hill, made her debut on 19 September 2008. She serves as a Police Constable at the Erinsborough Police Station.
Among Simone’s prominent story arcs are her investigations into various incidents, such as the accidental injury of Nicola West by a vehicle, and issuing a traffic stop to Declan Napier. She also responds to an alleged infant abduction at Lassiter's, which leads to Miranda Parker being taken into custody under the Mental Health Act for protection. Simone is involved in managing a car crash involving Ringo Brown and his football teammates, where she enforces the law firmly despite external pressures.
She apprehends Bridget Parker during a hospital demonstration after Bridget assaults an officer and later shows compassion towards Bridget's spouse following her fatal accident. Simone supports Donna Freedman in pursuing legal action after an assault by Saffron Jankievicz. Additionally, she investigates the disappearance of foster child Harry Ramsay, overcoming community obstacles to find him, influencing subsequent guardianship outcomes.
Simone aids Susan Kennedy after receiving threats but acknowledges the police’s limitations in providing full protection. On the day of Donna’s wedding, Simone steps in when Donna is forced to ride in the back of a truck, offering transportation to the ceremony and highlighting her role beyond traditional policing duties.
Kyle Canning
Kyle Canning, portrayed by Chris Milligan, first appeared on 26 November 2008. Initially cast for a six-week recurring stint, Milligan returned periodically for further filming. Kyle was introduced as an immature "bad boy" and bully, with his physical stature playing a key role in his early characterization. His poor academic performance left him vulnerable to more intelligent peers. However, following a traumatic accident and challenges finding work, he matured into a kind-hearted, easygoing larrikin. Eventually, Milligan earned a full-time contract as part of the main cast.
Greg Michaels
Greg Michaels, played by Nick Farnell, arrived on screen on 11 December 2008 as a romantic interest for Stephanie Scully (Carla Bonner). Jackie Brygel from TV Week described Greg as "tall and soft-spoken," noting strong chemistry between him and Steph. Their relationship initially showed promise but became complicated when Steph discovered Greg was married to someone she knew. Despite their connection, Steph hesitated to become involved with a married man.
Steph encountered Greg via an online dating platform and soon realized they had previously crossed paths at TAFE. Greg confessed he had been attracted to Steph but lacked the confidence to ask her out at that time. Their relationship quickly advanced, including an intimate moment at Lassiter's hotel. However, Steph later saw Greg embracing his wife Veronica Olenski (Caroline Lloyd), leading to a confrontation where Greg explained that his marriage was effectively over.
Further difficulties arose when Veronica froze their joint accounts after witnessing Greg and Steph kiss. Eventually, Veronica accepted Greg’s decision to be with Steph and apologized for her actions. Greg received a job offer in Darwin and invited Steph to relocate with him; however, she chose to remain in Erinsborough. They agreed to continue their relationship long-distance.
When Greg returned months later, he expressed interest in starting a family with Steph but became jealous over her past involvement with Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney). After Toadie wrote a play depicting their relationship, Greg filed a defamation suit against him, which Steph later dropped. Greg also grew envious of Lucas Fitzgerald (Scott Major), leading to tension during a barbecue gathering. Ultimately, recognizing Steph’s independence, Greg ended their turbulent relationship by leaving town.
Simon Freedman
Simon Freedman, played by Mauricio Merino Jr, made his first appearance on 12 December 2008. He was cast following a competition organized by the teen magazine Dolly, which offered a three-month role on Neighbours. Merino and Chelsea Jones were chosen from thousands of hopefuls to portray Donna Freedman's (Margot Robbie) younger brother and sister. Introduced at the close of 2008, the siblings were depicted as "Donna's worst nightmare," described as "cheeky" and "pesky." Merino characterized Simon as "a very mysterious and quiet young boy" who fiercely protects his sisters, particularly Donna, and finds it difficult to place trust in others.
Simon arrives in Erinsborough alongside his sister Tegan but they are initially asked to leave Harold's Store due to Tegan’s impolite behavior. After explaining their connection to Donna, they temporarily stay with Elle Robinson. Although Donna is upset by their arrival, she makes efforts to rebuild their relationship. Simon faces social challenges and confronts Donna about family struggles, including their parents’ separation and hidden details about their mother’s affairs. This confrontation triggers Donna's breakup and later reconciliation with her boyfriend Ringo Brown.
Their mother, Cassandra Freedman (Tottie Goldsmith), eventually appears, and Simon moves in with her. He initially defends Cassandra against Donna’s accusations but soon recognizes her manipulative tendencies. In an attempt to thwart Cassandra’s plans involving Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis), Simon resorts to supergluing doors shut, severing phone lines, and disabling Paul’s mobile phone. When Simon accidentally glues a screwdriver to his hand, Paul assists him, leading to a newfound mutual respect.
Simon stands by Tegan when she is teased by Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan) and encourages her to confront their mother. After stealing an iPod from Harold’s Store for attention, Simon returns it to Paul. As Cassandra’s behavior deteriorates further, Simon and Tegan decide to leave for their grandmother’s residence. Elle helps them bid farewell to Donna before driving them away.
Tegan Freedman
Tegan Freedman, portrayed by Chelsea Jones, also debuted on 12 December 2008. Jones earned the role through the same Dolly magazine competition that offered a three-month contract on Neighbours. Along with Merino, she was selected from thousands of applicants to play Donna Freedman’s (Margot Robbie) younger sister. Introduced late in 2008, the siblings were described as "cheeky" and "pesky," dubbed "Donna’s worst nightmare." Robbie expected their arrival would add new dimensions to her character.
Upon arriving in Erinsborough with Simon, Tegan initially clashes with Elle Robinson (Pippa Black), who removes them from Harold’s Store. They later disclose their sibling relationship with Donna and stay with Elle until Donna returns home. Although Donna is upset, she attempts to reconnect. Tegan reveals that their mother, Cassandra (Tottie Goldsmith), has a new boyfriend and sent them away due to family issues. Donna introduces Tegan to her boyfriend Ringo Brown (Sam Clark) and brings them to a party for Callum Rebecchi (Morgan Baker). Tegan mistakenly believes Callum’s amblyopia is severe, causing some embarrassment. When Donna and Ringo break up, jealousy arises; Tegan urges both to move forward but becomes annoyed when they reconcile. Feeling rejected, she lashes out until Donna organizes a mock chat show to mend their relationship.
After Cassandra arrives, Simon and Tegan move in with her. Tegan admits that Cassandra’s real intention in Ramsay Street is to pursue Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis). She helps Cassandra steal dresses from Harold’s Store in order to secure an invitation to Libby Kennedy (Kym Valentine) and Daniel Fitzgerald’s (Brett Tucker) wedding. Cassandra modifies Tegan’s school uniform to draw attention, which leads to bullying by Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan). Rejecting the altered uniform, Tegan stands up against Kyle but experiences further conflict with her mother. Seeking guidance from Bridget Parker (Eloise Mignon), Tegan adopts casual clothing that shocks Cassandra.
When Cassandra plots revenge against Rebecca Napier (Jane Hall), she involves Tegan in a scheme aiming to sue Rebecca for serving alcohol to a minor. Doubting the plan's merit, Tegan and Simon decide to leave Cassandra behind. Elle finds them waiting at the bus stop, takes them back to say goodbye to Donna, and then drives them off to their grandmother’s home.
