Clint Hendry

Clint Hendry, played by Jason Wilder, first appeared on 21 January 2025. Presented as a romantic interest for Jane Harris (Annie Jones), Clint’s narrative revolves around their connection through online dating and the complications arising from their age gap. He takes on cleaning roles at Erinsborough High School and the Eirini Rising retirement home, where he earns the admiration of residents such as Vera Punt (Sally-Anne Upton) and Gino Esposito (Shane McNamara). Although hesitant at first, Jane and Clint develop a relationship that becomes strained due to workplace policies.

Their involvement sparks issues when Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou) learns about noise complaints from residents regarding the apartment Clint uses both for work and personal encounters. Following the disappearance of cleaning materials, student Jasmine Stewart (Frankie Mazzone) uncovers Clint and Jane’s relationship while defending herself against theft allegations, which results in Clint being dismissed. Complaints from parents lead Lana Kline (Elizabeth Parisi) to suspend Jane for inappropriate behavior.

Despite this, Clint continues to support Jane and attempts to mend her professional relationships. Jane tries to advocate for him during a meeting with Lana. However, Jane’s daughter Nicolette Stone (Hannah Monson) discovers that Clint has been pilfering supplies to care for his sick mother. When confronted, Jane refuses to accept his justifications and reports him to law enforcement. Clint’s final episode aired on 27 February 2025; shortly after, Wilder confirmed his exit, reflecting positively on the role despite mixed audience reactions.

Taye’s arrival was previewed in a promotional clip for 2025, showcasing his interactions with nephews JJ and Dex Varga-Murphy at the Waterhole. His storyline includes sneaking into number 32’s sunroom, taking food provided by neighbour Andrew Rodwell, and unexpectedly befriending Max Ramsay.

Meanwhile, Fallon forms a friendship with Taye Obasi and grows closer to Leo. Krista and Leo employ Fallon as their wedding planner; she supports Leo and Byron Stone in preparing the Yorokobi winery for the upcoming wedding.

Despite developing bonds, Fallon keeps a guarded distance from Krista, suspecting that she is concealing information from Leo. Encouraged by Taye to leverage this knowledge, Fallon pressures Krista to disclose the truth about Sebastian to Leo. When Krista hesitates, Fallon reveals it herself, stating she assumed Leo was already aware. She continues to question Leo’s choice to proceed with the marriage.

Fallon is caught off guard when Taye begins working for Krista at the Piano Bar and asks him to safeguard her secrets. Taye perceives Fallon’s feelings for Leo, which she denies. When Taye requests financial assistance from Krista to pay a piano bar performer and Fallon declines, he threatens to expose her secrets, compelling her to comply.

After Krista borrows Fallon’s wedding dress without permission and damages it, an argument ensues during which Fallon explains the dress’s importance to Leo.

When confronted by Cara, Maddy asserts that Chelsea wishes to remain hidden and criticizes Cara and Nicolette's methods.
