Susie McAllister

Susan "Susie" McAllister, played by Bridie Carter, made her first appearance on 4 February 2021. Carter's involvement was revealed in August 2020, with filming commencing shortly thereafter. She characterized Susie as "an engaging, vibrant woman" and "strongly independent." The role depicts a real estate agent relocating from Western Australia to Summer Bay. Susie was introduced as a potential romantic partner for John Palmer (Shane Withington). The character exited the series in June 2021, sparking a widely publicized murder mystery plot.

Susie initially aids Tori Morgan and Christian Green in their house search before pursuing a relationship with John Palmer. She moves into John's residence, but her odd conduct—such as scrutinizing his financial situation and showing little physical affection—raises suspicions. Susie persuades John to stand for Surf Club president against Alf Stewart and aggressively promotes fundraising initiatives for the club’s refurbishment.

Leah Patterson and Justin Morgan seek Susie's assistance in locating a property, but Irene Roberts becomes wary of her motives. After Susie unknowingly drugs Irene’s drink—unaware that Irene abstains from alcohol—and John falls ill after consuming the same wine, Irene’s mistrust intensifies. Further inquiry uncovers that Susie's identity is fabricated; she is actually Imogen Simons and has embezzled $90,000 from Justin and Leah, along with funds intended for the Surf Club. During a confrontation, Susie incapacitates Irene with chloroform and escapes, leaving John devastated.

Several weeks later, Leah encounters another victim named Stephen Tennyson, who also suffered financial loss due to Susie. Despite efforts to track her down, Susie's body is discovered in the ocean bearing blunt trauma to the head, confirming homicide. Text messages allegedly sent by Susie after her death initially implicate Justin when her phone is found in his vehicle. Leah eventually identifies Stephen as the killer after uncovering damning evidence in his motel room. Stephen attempts to flee with Leah but is apprehended and charged with Susie's murder.

Chloe Anderson

Chloe Anderson, portrayed by Sam Barrett, premiered on 11 February 2021. Barrett secured the role following several auditions and relocated to Sydney for filming commitments. Chloe was introduced alongside her mother, Mia Anderson, both linked to established character Ari Parata (Rob Kipa-Williams), who acted as a father figure prior to his incarceration. Described as "clever and spirited," Chloe inherits her mother’s intellect and rebellious nature. She arrives in Summer Bay accompanied by Ari's nephew, Nikau Parata (Kawakawa Fox-Reo), with the goal of reconnecting with Ari. Barrett highlighted Chloe's strong resolve to rebuild relationships with both Ari and Nikau. Chloe also emerges as a possible romantic interest for Ryder Jackson (Lukas Radovich). Her biological father, Matthew Montgomery (James Sweeny), was introduced in November 2021. After an eighteen-month tenure, Barrett’s final episode aired on 21 July 2022, marking Chloe’s departure from Summer Bay to join Mia in New Zealand.

Chloe makes her initial appearance attempting to order a cocktail at Salt but is refused service by Ryder Jackson due to lack of identification, prompting her to order pizza instead. She encounters Nikau, who warns that her arrival could unsettle existing dynamics. Chloe reconnects with Ari, revealing she met Nikau during backpacking travels and that Mia was unaware of her presence. After sharing a family dinner, Chloe confronts Ari about his absence during imprisonment and challenges Mia’s misleading explanations. Ari explains the choice to keep Chloe from visiting prison and encourages her to communicate with Mia directly. When Mia arrives, Chloe confronts her about the deceit and decides to remain in Summer Bay to mend ties with Ari. Nikau introduces Chloe to his girlfriend Bella Nixon (Courtney Miller) and assists her in securing employment at Salt following a cocktail-making competition against Ryder.

Mia Anderson

Mia Anderson, played by Anna Samson, made her first appearance on 11 February 2021. Announced on 3 January 2021, Mia is introduced as the former partner of Ari Parata (Rob Kipa-Williams) and the mother of Chloe Anderson (Sam Barrett). Their introduction adds depth to Ari's history, revealing that he was incarcerated following the tragic loss of their baby. Mia relocated with Chloe, who grew up without a father figure. Characterized as "a smart, determined, and resilient single mother," Mia returns to Summer Bay to reunite with Chloe.

Samson departed the show on 28 April 2022 after Mia chooses to leave in the wake of Ari's passing. Chloe decides to remain behind, respecting Mia’s decision. Barrett remarked that Ari was "her mum’s soulmate and... the cornerstone holding their family together." Ari’s brother Tane Parata (Ethan Browne) presents Mia with a plane ticket to New Zealand to begin afresh, culminating in their goodbye during a family pizza gathering.

Mia arrives in Summer Bay after discovering that Chloe has followed Nikau Parata there. Ari attempts to contact both Chloe and Nikau but learns they have traveled further up the coast. While waiting, he confronts Mia about misleading Chloe. Upon their return, Chloe challenges Mia over her dishonesty and refuses to leave with her. Mia acknowledges her intention was to shield Chloe and asks how she can make things right, but Chloe insists on staying to process everything. Ari supports Chloe's decision to remain and reconnect.

Mia admits to Ari that she found it difficult to be honest with Chloe about his absence but never intended any harm. Ari appreciates her reasoning. When Chloe is offered a job at a local eatery, Mia agrees she should accept it and opts to stay in Summer Bay herself.

Sienna Blake

Sienna Blake, portrayed by Rose Riley, debuted on 29 April 2021. Introduced by Lucy Addario, she enters the narrative as a modelling agent linked to Nikau Parata (Kawakawa Fox-Reo), delving into the world of modelling and photography. Daniel Kilkelly described her as "cunning," drawing comparisons to a similarly named character from Hollyoaks. Sienna’s manipulative nature unfolds as she lures Nikau into the modelling industry, casting doubt on her genuine intentions.

After noticing Nikau’s award-winning photograph, Sienna approaches him with modelling prospects, using an internship opportunity for his girlfriend Bella Nixon (Courtney Miller) as leverage to secure his participation. She manages Nikau’s portfolio development and arranges a fashion campaign with Allegra Freeman (Laura McDonald), carefully engineering situations to elevate his profile. Sienna tactically isolates Bella during photo sessions and encourages Allegra to stir conflict between Bella and Nikau, manipulating all parties to advance Nikau’s career—and her own agenda.

Despite Nikau’s unease and threats to quit, Sienna convinces him to continue by emphasizing financial rewards. She coordinates social media strategies including hosting a pool party aimed at boosting his followers while creating friction regarding relationships outside the industry. When Bella attempts to use Nikau’s photos for an exhibition, Sienna demands payment, intensifying disputes.

Sienna seduces Nikau after exploiting tensions involving Bella and Allegra, leading to a brief affair that complicates existing relationships. Following an explosion injuring Emmett Ellison (Jaime Robbie Reyne), Sienna arrives in the Bay, prompting Nikau to confront her about manipulation and betrayal. He ultimately rejects modelling and threatens exposure of her schemes.

Attempting reconciliation, Sienna offers Bella a photography role for a last-minute shoot; however, tensions persist. After Tane Parata (Ethan Browne) warns her away from Nikau and Bella uncovers the affair, Sienna's influence diminishes. She boasts about freeing Nikau for Japan but faces rejection when he quits modelling. The storyline concludes with Sienna refusing payment for Nikau’s work and being instructed to keep away from Bella.

This narrative explores calculated manipulation within the competitive modelling industry, highlighting power struggles and career pressures encountered by emerging talents.

Allegra Freeman

Allegra Freeman, brought to life by Laura McDonald, made her first appearance on 29 April 2021. Announced on 23 April 2021, Allegra was woven into a significant narrative exploring the modelling world alongside Nikau Parata (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) and Bella Nixon (Courtney Miller). This storyline delved into issues surrounding disordered eating and body image from both male and female viewpoints, with a focus on the influence of social media. McDonald characterized Allegra as a "seductive and provocative model" collaborating with Nikau, while critics described her as "ethically questionable."

During a photoshoot conducted by Emmett Ellison (Jaime Robbie Reyne), Bella Nixon observes Allegra in action. Nikau, who has been cast in a clothing campaign alongside Allegra, initially finds it difficult to settle until Allegra advises him to treat her as he would Bella. Their session goes well, prompting their agent Sienna Blake (Rose Riley) to organize an impromptu photo session in Summer Bay featuring Allegra and Nikau. Sienna encourages Allegra to increase the shoot's sensuality and arranges a staged kiss witnessed by Bella, which causes Nikau to abruptly end the shoot.

Allegra assists Nikau in enhancing his social media profile, offering advice about body image and supplying him with an appetite suppressant. When Bella requests Allegra to back off, Allegra dismisses Nikau as not being her type. Following Sienna’s instructions, Allegra sabotages Bella and Emmett’s photography exhibition by tampering with Nikau’s messages and sending deceptive photos designed to create friction between Nikau and Bella, putting the Japanese modelling opportunity at risk.

During a final fashion shoot with Bella behind the camera, tensions rise over Allegra’s meddling and her awareness of Nikau’s one-night stand with Sienna. Allegra urges Nikau to concentrate on the upcoming Japan trip, highlighting it as his final chance for success. She refuses to accept blame for his choices and insists he comply with Sienna’s demands. Later, Allegra warns Sienna that endangering Nikau could jeopardize the assignment. Ultimately, the scandal leads to Nikau leaving the agency after his affair with Sienna becomes public.

Emmett Ellison

Emmett Ellison, portrayed by Jaime Robbie Reyne, also debuted on 29 April 2021. Reyne accepted this role after his music tour was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Emmett is introduced as a professional photographer involved in a storyline addressing modelling, body image concerns, and social media pressures that include characters Nikau Parata and Bella Nixon. Reyne drew upon his own modelling experience and family ties within the industry to shape his portrayal. He returned to reprise the role in 2022, offering Bella an overseas job opportunity.

Emmett’s first scene features him photographing Allegra Freeman while Bella Nixon watches and eventually joins the shoot. He supports Nikau Parata during his photoshoot despite initial difficulties, resulting in a successful campaign that impresses their agent Sienna Blake. At an after-party event, Emmett encourages Bella to socialize more freely and later negotiates with Sienna to allow Nikau some personal time away from work. Emmett also visits the Parata household with Sienna, strengthening professional relationships. During another shoot where Allegra kisses Nikau in Bella’s presence, Emmett cautions Bella about the potential dangers of the modelling industry.

Emmett briefly dates Mackenzie Booth, but ends their relationship after warnings from her brother Dean Thompson. Although Sienna tries to entice Emmett back with promises of high-profile clients, he declines and instead partners with Bella on a photography exhibition held at Salt. The exhibition is successful despite Emmett sustaining eye injuries caused by an explosion involving a taco van that threatens partial vision loss.

Upon returning from medical treatment, Emmett supports Bella through difficult times related to Nikau’s infidelity with Sienna. He safeguards Bella’s work by denying Sienna access to deleted photographs. Emmett plans to relocate to New York City for a new job but postpones informing Bella until after Nikau publicly confesses his love for her during the exhibition event. Following this revelation, Emmett shares his departure plans and leaves Summer Bay.

Almost one year later, Emmett reappears offering Bella a photography position in New York, which she accepts—marking their joint departure from Summer Bay.

Rachel Young

Rachel Young, played by Marny Kennedy, made her first appearance on 24 May 2021. Kennedy's casting was revealed early that year, marking her debut in a soap opera. For this role, she wore a halo brace, which required considerable time to fit but she adapted to it swiftly.

Rachel encounters Christian Green at Blue Bird Skydiving just before her initial solo jump, a gift from friends following her divorce. During the skydive, she endures a serious fall causing an uncommon atlanto-occipital dislocation—her skull became detached from her spine but remained connected by ligaments. Christian provides immediate medical attention and arranges for her to wear a halo brace. Under his care, Rachel’s condition shows steady improvement.

Christian delays his wedding to Tori Morgan because of Rachel’s injury, which leads Rachel to feel guilty about the bond developing between them. Christian interprets surviving such a life-threatening incident as destiny meant to save Rachel and eventually transfers her treatment to another physician. Nevertheless, Rachel insists on Christian’s continued involvement, believing their meeting was fated.

As Rachel recuperates and prepares for discharge, Christian acknowledges her feelings but makes clear his commitment to Tori. Following the removal of the halo brace, Rachel takes one final trip to the beach where she is tragically struck by a vehicle and dies despite Christian’s efforts to revive her.

Cash Newman

Cash Newman, portrayed by Nicholas Cartwright, first appeared on 14 June 2021. The character and actor were introduced in a promotional trailer released on 8 June. This marks Cartwright’s television debut after graduating from the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA). Before pursuing acting, he served six years in the military and completed a three-year program at NIDA. The COVID-19 pandemic affected his acting prospects, prompting him to apply to both the New South Wales Police Force and the Australian Federal Police while continuing to audition. Although he initially tried out for the guest role of Lewis Hayes, Cartwright felt that Cash suited him better.

Cash arrives as Summer Bay’s newest police constable. Cartwright mentioned that his military background helped him understand the role, especially considering the Bay’s history of dangerous policing incidents, including previous officers who were killed or imprisoned. Cash’s introduction is serious; he arrests Justin Morgan and leads an inquiry into a body discovered on the beach. While promoted as a "hot cop," Cartwright stressed that Cash possesses deeper layers and concealed secrets beneath his calm demeanor. Portraying a police officer allows him to explore family relationships alongside action-oriented plots.

Later, Cash’s sister Felicity Newman (Jacqui Purvis) joins the storyline; Cartwright pointed out their strong chemistry on screen, noting Felicity is the only person Cash truly confides in. Additionally, Cash develops a romantic relationship with Jasmine Delaney (Sam Frost), which Cartwright describes as an uncommon, sincere love story within soap operas. He expressed excitement about its development and praised his positive working dynamic with Frost.

Logan Bennett

Logan Bennett, brought to life by Harley Bonner, made his first appearance on 10 August 2021. The announcement of Bonner's casting came on 25 March 2021. Bonner expressed that joining Home and Away was a major career milestone, emphasizing his excitement about both the series and his role. His initial scenes were shot both in the studio and on location in Yass during a pivotal mid-season cliffhanger event.

Logan enters the storyline at the scene of a car crash involving central characters. Though initially believed to be a paramedic, he is actually a trauma surgeon with international experience. He arrives in Summer Bay to conduct a critical surgical procedure and opts to remain in town to monitor the patient's recovery. Bonner characterized Logan as self-assured, highly competent, and somewhat unconventional in his approach, adding a playful and spirited energy to the show. The character is depicted as skilled, empathetic, intelligent, and somewhat of a wanderer.

Subsequently, Logan develops a romantic connection with Mackenzie Booth (Emily Weir). On 8 January 2022, it was revealed that Bonner would be leaving the series due to vaccination mandates enforced by Seven Network. The role was not recast, with Logan’s final appearance airing on 6 June 2022. His exit storyline involved legal complications and the termination of his relationship with Mackenzie before he re-enlists with the Army Medical Corps. The character’s concluding scene features a voicemail message apologizing to Mackenzie and explaining his abrupt departure.

Felicity Newman

Felicity "Flick" Newman, portrayed by Jacqui Purvis, debuted on 19 August 2021. Purvis’s casting was revealed in April 2021 after she was spotted filming alongside Ethan Browne, sparking rumors about a possible romantic storyline with his character, Tane Parata. Further details about Felicity emerged in July, describing her as a confident and outspoken "firecracker" who immediately caught Tane’s eye by dancing atop a bar. Purvis described Flick as a complex figure combining vulnerability stemming from family trauma and mental health challenges with a spirited and feisty demeanor.

Felicity is introduced as the sister of police officer Cash Newman. Their shared history includes their father’s suicide following struggles with drought on their farm, which profoundly affected Flick and shaped her troubled choices. To portray this authentically and sensitively, Purvis conducted research into suicide's impact, highlighting Flick’s continuing emotional battle linked to her father’s death.

Felicity’s wedding to Tane was spotlighted in the show’s landmark 8000th episode aired on 27 March 2023. The character departed on 19 August 2024 after Purvis chose to pursue opportunities abroad. Her exit storyline featured a dramatic collapse caused by a brain aneurysm followed by organ donation, culminating in an emotional hospital tribute walk led by Cash.

Theo Poulos

Theo Poulos, enacted by Matt Evans, first appeared on 9 September 2021. With limited acting experience prior to this role, Evans described it as an educational opportunity akin to "getting paid to go to school." Theo was introduced as a young man in his twenties who struggles with impulsive behavior but possesses an inherently good nature. He is revealed as the nephew of established character Leah Patterson (Ada Nicodemou), thereby linking him directly to the core cast.

Theo arrives in Summer Bay after being stopped for speeding and confesses to constable Cash Newman that his father—Leah's brother Dimitri Poulos (Salvatore Coco)—had expelled him from home. Leah offers him a fresh start by arranging for her partner and mechanic Justin Morgan (James Stewart) to employ him. Despite causing workplace difficulties and straining the relationship between young couple Ryder Jackson and Chloe Anderson, Theo’s backstory and strained paternal relationship suggest potential for growth and redemption. Dimitri returns in April 2022, bringing unresolved family tensions back into focus.

In May 2022, Evans received a nomination for the Logie Award for Most Popular New Talent, reflecting his emerging prominence within the industry.
