Julie Quill

Julie Quill, played by Gail Easdale, made her debut on 12 January 2016. Easdale returned to acting after dedicating time to raising her children; she is also married to Stefan Dennis (Paul Robinson). Cast as the new proprietor of Lassiter's Hotel and a rival to Paul Robinson, Julie is characterized as a formidable businesswoman who also possesses a compassionate side shaped by her dedication. Easdale highlighted Julie’s difficulties navigating a male-dominated sector and appreciated working opposite Dennis. It is later revealed that Julie was behind the explosion at Lassiters Hotel, which resulted in several fatalities, leading to her departure in June 2016. She reappeared on 8 September 2021 when Terese Willis visits her in prison seeking closure regarding her son’s death. This comeback follows the earlier introduction of her son Jesse Porter (Cameron Robbie) that same year. Easdale described Julie as remorseful and transformed since her previous appearance.

Julie arrives to assess Lassiter's Hotel, now owned by the Quill Group. Bearing a grudge against Paul Robinson due to a past failed relationship, she initially declines Paul's nephew Daniel Robinson for employment but later offers him a position after discovering his estrangement from Paul. She confides in Terese Willis about her challenges as a woman in the hotel industry and takes full responsibility for hotel operations. Julie plans to construct an additional hotel tower within the Lassiter's precinct and seeks to sabotage Paul's attempt to host the Erinsborough Citizen of the Year event by securing the launch party venue at The Waterhole. However, when the chef resigns following a job offer from Paul, catering duties fall to Harold's Store, which leads to guests suffering food poisoning and forces the event to relocate to Robinson's Motel.

Julie consults with stepson Tom Quill regarding the tower project; he persuades opponents to retract their objections. After Robinson's loses its liquor license, Lassiter's regains hosting rights for the Citizen of the Year event, which Julie celebrates triumphantly. She pressures Tom into replacing unfavorable environmental assessments with positive reports; once his deceit is uncovered, she disowns him. Following a boiler room explosion that devastates Lassiter's and causes fatalities, Julie moves in with Terese Willis and appoints Sarah Beaumont as interim hotel manager during Terese’s absence. She accuses Paul of instigating the blast and assaults him when he attempts to offer comfort. Although Tom survives, Julie is furious with Aaron Brennan for lying about attacking Tom before the explosion. Upon discovering that Terese paid for a false alibi implicating Paul, Julie terminates her employment.

At Lassiter's reopening, Julie is arrested after John Doe (Andrew James Morley) recalls witnessing her conspiring with Jacka Hills to trigger the explosion. Charged by Mark Brennan, she apologizes to Terese’s family but is rejected and subsequently sentenced to ten years imprisonment. Five years later, her son Jesse Porter begins working at Lassiters gathering intelligence for Shay Daeng aimed at restoring the Quill Group’s standing.

Xanthe Canning

Xanthe Canning, brought to life by Lilly Van der Meer, made her first appearance on 22 January 2016. Her introduction was announced on 30 November 2015. Xanthe is the granddaughter of Sheila Canning, half-sister to Kyle Canning, and daughter to Gary Canning. Colette Mann, who plays Sheila, hinted that Xanthe's arrival would initiate a significant family drama. Van der Meer characterized Xanthe as a "close companion" on Ramsay Street who often finds herself amidst "adventures, excitement, and mischief."

Jacka Hills

Jackson Derek "Jacka" Hills, portrayed by Brad McMurray, debuted on 7 March 2016 as an old acquaintance of Stephanie Scully and was promoted as the show's "latest antagonist." McMurray expressed enjoyment in playing Jacka’s rebellious and disruptive persona. Initially appearing in a guest role, Jacka returned in September with a plot centered around suspicions of his wife’s infidelity.

Jacka’s storyline involved multiple criminal offenses including vandalism, theft, and orchestrating an explosion at Lassiter's Hotel to commit insurance fraud, which ultimately led to his capture. He had associations with a biker gang and connections to Ned Willis. Jacka attempted to deceive Paul Robinson using counterfeit passports and covertly undermined police investigations.

After being imprisoned, Jacka enlisted Steph Scully’s help to investigate his wife Regan Davis’s suspected affair. Upon uncovering Regan’s unfaithfulness with Ned Willis, Jacka was granted early release to care for his terminally ill mother but soon returned seeking vengeance. Assuming the alias JD, he manipulated Elly Conway to unsettle Ned, poisoned Ned’s tattoo ink, and sabotaged a hot-air balloon ride resulting in Regan’s death. Jacka was subsequently apprehended and sentenced to eighteen years behind bars.

In 2022, script producer Shane Isheev disclosed plans for Jacka’s comeback involving a prison escape storyline; however, this was scrapped due to the series concluding. Isheev described Jacka as one of the program’s most "memorable villains."

Jack Callahan

Jack Callahan (also known as John Doe), played by Andrew Morley, first appeared on 4 April 2016. Morley’s casting was announced on 30 January 2016 after he auditioned while engaged in charity work in Cambodia. Filming began in December 2015. Introduced with "an enigmatic history" and no connections to Erinsborough, the character initially called John Doe forms a friendship with Paige Smith (Olympia Valance). It is later revealed that his true identity is Jack Callahan and that he serves as a Catholic priest. Jack decides to stay in Erinsborough but faces challenges balancing his relationship with Paige alongside his religious duties.

Ned Willis

Ned Willis, enacted by Ben Hall, made his debut on 6 April 2016. Hall's casting was announced on 11 March 2016, following years of the character being mentioned off-screen. After a brief guest stint, Ned returned on 10 August and was officially reintroduced as a regular cast member on 20 June 2018. He is the son of Brad Willis (Kip Gamblin) and Beth Brennan (Natalie Imbruglia), marking the first time all of Brad's children appeared together on screen. Having lived with his grandparents in Darwin prior to arriving in Erinsborough, Ned works as a tattoo artist whose cunning and manipulative traits fuel compelling storylines involving mischief and family relationships.

Madison Robinson

Madison Robinson, played by Sarah Ellen, made her first appearance on 22 April 2016. Ellen’s casting was revealed in February 2016, with producers considering a longer-term role for Madison, the daughter of the legendary Neighbours duo Scott and Charlene Robinson. Series producer Jason Herbison highlighted the much-anticipated arrival of this character. Madison returned for a stint from June to September 2016, with scenes shot on the Gold Coast. Additionally, Ellen appeared in flashback sequences in 2019.

As the younger offspring of Scott and Charlene, Madison arrives in Erinsborough to check on her brother Daniel on their parents’ behalf. To prepare, Ellen studied clips of her on-screen parents and observed that Madison inherited Charlene’s spirited nature. Madison is an aspiring journalist and is characterized as a fashionable teenager. After completing her guest role, Ellen pursued acting opportunities in Hollywood, praising Neighbours for its excellent training ground.

Upon arriving at Number 24 Ramsay Street, Madison reconnects with Daniel and discloses that her visit concerns his upcoming marriage to Imogen Willis. She supports their secret wedding plans, which eventually become a family celebration. Once Daniel and Imogen depart town, Madison remains to assist her uncle Paul Robinson during allegations linked to a hotel explosion. She urges Paul to continue gathering evidence before returning to Brisbane.

Following Paul’s arrest and eventual clearance, he manipulates the local press by coercing an editor into employing Madison as a cadet reporter at the West Waratah Star. Madison abandons university ambitions and a romantic relationship to accept the position. Under Paul’s influence, she writes feature stories that he then modifies into personal attacks; when his deception is uncovered, Madison moves in with Terese Willis. After being dismissed for refusing to produce a damaging article about a cleaning firm connected to her cousin Amy Williams, Terese hires Madison as her assistant.

Madison encourages Terese to bid for Lassiter's Hotel; when Lucy Robinson accepts the proposal, Madison accompanies her to New York to handle paperwork. When singer Rhonda Riley misses a show at The Waterhole, Madison steps in and later performs again through arrangements made by Aaron Brennan. Misunderstandings about her involvement with Ben Kirk lead Sheila Canning to fire her from The Waterhole. It is later revealed that Madison was helping Ben compose a song for Xanthe Canning.

Lucy arranges an audition for Madison for a singing residency at Lassiter's Gold Coast. At SeaWorld, Madison reunites with ex-boyfriend Logan Dunne, who explains that missed communication caused their breakup but confesses he still cares for her. Despite arriving late for the audition, Madison impresses the judges and is offered the role. Although initially planning to move to California with Logan, she remains on the Gold Coast after he decides to stay with her.

Angus Beaumont-Hannay

Angus Beaumont-Hannay, portrayed by Jai Waetford, first appeared on 2 May 2016. Waetford’s casting was announced on 10 February 2016, though details about his character were initially kept confidential. Angus is introduced as the rebellious son of Sarah Beaumont (Nicola Charles), a divisive figure in Erinsborough. Series producer Jason Herbison remarked that Waetford would enjoy portraying a character who challenges boundaries. Following his guest appearance, Waetford returned to film scenes with the cast on the Gold Coast.

Angus arrives in Australia after being expelled from boarding school and expects to spend time with his mother Sarah. However, he stays with her friends Karl (Alan Fletcher) and Susan Kennedy in Erinsborough while Sarah travels to Germany for work. He quickly clashes with Ben Kirk (Felix Mallard) over stolen money and false accusations, leading to physical altercations and ongoing hostility. Angus forms a bond with Xanthe Canning (Lily Van der Meer), purchasing concert tickets for her and sharing a kiss during a stormy night. Although they plan to pursue a relationship further, Angus ends it following intervention from Xanthe’s grandmother Sheila (Colette Mann). He confesses to Susan that he once triggered a school fire alarm.

His rebellious behavior continues when he sprays graffiti at the high school without facing consequences, escalating his feud with Ben. Angus questions Karl about his paternity but is reassured that Karl is not his father. He becomes involved in a financial dispute involving Xanthe and Ben but later learns from Xanthe that his mother has cancer. Upset by this news, he uses money earned from busking and attempts to flee to Bali but is stopped by Ben and Xanthe. After Sarah returns and apologizes for hiding her illness, she invites Angus to join her in Germany for treatment; he agrees after making amends.

Weeks later on the Gold Coast, Angus reunites with Ben and Xanthe. When Madison Robinson (Sarah Ellen) arrives late for a singing audition, Angus helps by buying her extra time. Encouraged by Susan after discussing how his mother’s illness affects him, Angus returns to Erinsborough and enrolls at school. He develops feelings for Susan’s niece Elly Conway (Jodi Anasta), who rejects him. Subsequently, Angus begins dating Piper Willis (Mavournee Hazel). He attempts to get a tattoo using stolen ink but is prevented due to contamination concerns.

At the Halloween dance, Angus serenades Elly, arousing Susan’s suspicions. He kisses Elly while she sleeps; although reprimanded, Elly initially keeps this secret. Warned by Leo Tanaka (Tim Kano) not to pursue Elly further, Angus plans to leave Erinsborough High but instead opts for music school. After being drugged by a new acquaintance, he makes an intoxicated call to Elly; she helps him get home with assistance from Tyler Brennan (Travis Burns). Following success with a music video, an independent label offers him a recording contract.

Elly’s efforts to reconnect with an ex-boyfriend prompt Angus to enlist Piper’s help in keeping them apart; however, their plan fails and Elly tells Angus to stay away. When Elly becomes intoxicated again, Angus kisses her once more; Susan finds them together and reports the incident to both the education board and police. Despite initially denying any wrongdoing, Elly later recalls the event clearly. Angus faces assault charges but offers a sincere apology. Elly decides not to press charges, and Angus’s father accompanies him to Sydney as he embarks on his music career.

Walter Mitchell

Walter Mitchell, brought to life by Greg Stone, made his first appearance on 13 May 2016 as the estranged uncle of Sonya Rebecchi. His storyline unveiled a concealed family truth: Walter was, in fact, Sonya’s biological father, a revelation connected to the fatal car accident that claimed her parents' lives. Furthermore, Walter disclosed that he had a fourteen-year-old daughter named Zoe, who was battling leukaemia, leading Sonya to contemplate donating bone marrow.

Walter arrives in Erinsborough asserting he is sober, though he misappropriates funds meant for rehabilitation. He takes up residence at Stephanie Scully’s motel and initially conceals his true identity from Sonya. Once Sonya uncovers who he really is, she finds his presence challenging but ultimately agrees to assist him in achieving sobriety. During this period, Walter enters a relationship with Terese Willis but ends it to prioritize his family commitments.

Walter requests that Sonya undergo donor testing for Zoe; however, she is not a compatible match. He then proposes Nell Rebecchi as an alternative donor, which causes tension when Walter takes Nell to the hospital without permission. Despite this breach, no legal action is pursued. When Sonya’s son Callum is identified as a suitable donor, Walter and Zoe depart for the United States to pursue treatment.

In 2018, following Zoe’s cancer relapse and Walter’s ongoing battle with sobriety, Sonya travels to the US to offer support as he returns to attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

Mandy Franze

Mandy Franze, portrayed by Kristy Best, appeared first on 26 May 2016. Introduced as the enigmatic former partner of Andrew Morley’s character John Doe, Mandy acts as a romantic competitor to Paige Smith. She claims to be John’s girlfriend under the alias Jason Jones, stating they cohabitated and that she sought him out after a trip. Despite Paige’s doubts, John interacts with Mandy and even shares a kiss with her. Mandy’s fabrications unravel when she offers John a Hawaiian pizza—his allergy to pineapple reveals her dishonesty. Before leaving, Mandy confesses she met John on the day of the Lassiter's explosion but knows little else about him.

James Udagawa

James Udagawa, played by Samuel David Humphrey, debuted on 3 August 2016. After appearing in a documentary featuring young individuals with physical disabilities, Humphrey transitioned from an extra to a prominent role. James is depicted as a highly intelligent "corporate whizz kid" brought in to salvage Lassiter's Hotel from financial difficulties and oversee Terese Willis.

Upon his arrival, Terese initially mistakes James for a child due to his height but soon discovers he represents his family's investment in the hotel. He conducts thorough reviews of financial statements, supplier agreements, and hotel operations—including investigating concerns about hidden cameras in guest rooms, which are later explained as part of a school project. James keeps track of The Waterhole’s performance and urges Terese to develop strategies aimed at increasing stagnant revenue. He also reveals that his sister Jasmine intends to assume control of their family business following their grandfather’s death and advises Terese to remain cautious around her.

David Tanaka

David Tanaka, brought to life by Takaya Honda, made his first appearance on 21 September 2016. His casting was revealed alongside that of Tim Kano, who portrays his twin sibling Leo Tanaka. The introduction of the brothers to Erinsborough centered on uncovering "a family mystery". Professionally, David is a physician driven by a strong sense of social responsibility.

Leo Tanaka

Leo Tanaka, enacted by Tim Kano, debuted on 22 September 2016. Announced concurrently with Honda’s role, Leo serves as a foil to his doctor brother, embodying an opportunistic, playful, and cheeky personality while maintaining a kind heart and deep respect for David.

Brooke Butler

Brooke Butler, portrayed by Fifi Box, first appeared on 28 September 2016. Her casting was confirmed on 18 July 2016, with Box expressing enthusiasm about joining this well-known Australian series. Executive producer Jason Herbison commended her audition, highlighting her embodiment of "Gold Coast chic". Brooke is introduced as the estranged mother of Xanthe Canning and former partner of Gary Canning. Characterized as opportunistic and somewhat flighty, she relies heavily on her appearance to manage obstacles. Network Ten’s Claire Tonkin labeled her a "colourful character". Brooke returned in 2017 to continue her narrative involving family tensions and financial difficulties.

Brooke arrives in Erinsborough with the objective of reconnecting with Xanthe and mending her relationship with Gary and his relatives. She claims to run a jewellery business but soon arouses suspicion due to the timing and her financial woes. Hosting sales parties, Brooke struggles with debts owed to supplier Mack Sweetin while manipulating family dynamics for her own benefit. Her strategies include sowing discord between Xanthe and Ben Kirk and exploiting Gary’s generosity to pay off fees. After settling debts with an ex-boyfriend, Trey Johnson, Brooke confesses that her jewellery is counterfeit and departs abruptly.

Upon her return, Brooke seeks employment but encounters obstacles due to Sheila Canning’s interference. She apologizes for the prior scam and secures a three-month trial managing Lassiter's Day Spa under Terese's supervision, who also arranges a date for her with Paul Robinson. Brooke and Gary plan for her to meet another daughter, Jesse, during a Melbourne layover. As Gary becomes engaged to Terese, Brooke chooses to leave for Malaysia to meet Jesse, financially supported by Sheila.
