Nell Rebecchi
Nell Rebecchi, brought to life by Scarlett Anderson (2013–2022) and later by Ayisha Salem-Towner (2023–2025), made her first appearance on 7 January 2013. She is the child of Sonya and Toadfish Rebecchi. Anderson was only four weeks old when she debuted. The storyline of Sonya’s pregnancy was crafted to mirror the actress’s own experience, allowing for shared moments. Sonya planned a home birth, but complications necessitated a caesarean delivery. Nell’s birth represented an important family event, commemorated with a naming day celebration.
Anderson’s final portrayal occurred in the 2022 season finale; subsequently, Salem-Towner took over the role in 2023 following a two-year time jump in the series. This casting change corresponds with Nell’s expanded role in storylines.
Nell's narratives encompass early developmental hurdles, including dependence on assistive technology, behavioral challenges influenced by a mobile application, and an incident involving an opioid overdose. As Sonya and Toadie separate, Nell primarily lives with Sonya but continues to maintain contact with Toadie. Her relationship with family friend Mark Brennan adds complexity to her social connections.
After Sonya is diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer and passes away, Toadie assumes sole parenting responsibilities for Nell and her half-brother Hugo Somers. Nell faces emotional struggles adapting to family transitions, such as Shane and Dipi Rebecchi relocating to Sydney.
Her storylines also delve into blended family conflicts, especially regarding Toadie’s romantic involvements with Melanie Pearson and Terese Willis. Nell opposes Toadie’s marriage to Terese, showing preference for Melanie instead. This culminates in an episode where Nell visits Melanie’s residence, suffers an assault, but is ultimately rescued and returned safely.
Throughout her development, Nell represents themes of familial devotion, childhood perseverance, and the influence of parental relationships on a child's growth within the Neighbours universe.

Amber Turner, portrayed by Jenna Rosenow, first appeared on-screen on 7 February 2013. Her casting was publicly announced on 4 November 2012. Rosenow had previously worked as an extra on Neighbours. She described Amber as "a typical 17-year-old," highlighting her innocence and tendency to keep secrets. Amber is the sole daughter of Matt (Josef Brown) and Lauren Turner (Kate Kendall). Kendall characterized Amber as embodying "the quintessential teenage girl." An online spin-off titled Amber's Blog chronicles her family’s relocation from Mount Isa to Erinsborough.
Bailey Turner
Bailey Turner, portrayed by Calen Mackenzie, debuted on 7 February 2013. His casting was revealed on 4 November 2012. Mackenzie had previously appeared in the series as Thomas McPhee. After auditioning, he won the role and was initially signed for a four-year contract. Mackenzie described joining the cast as "incredible," noting the show's significant cultural influence. Bailey is the youngest son of Matt Turner (Josef Brown) and Lauren Carpenter (Kate Kendall). Kendall described him as "intellectually gifted," while official descriptions emphasize his curious and nerdy traits.
Matt Turner

Matt is married to Lauren Carpenter (played by Kate Kendall) and is the father of Mason (Taylor Glockner), Amber (Jenna Rosenow), and Bailey (Calen Mackenzie). The Turner family moves from Mount Isa to Erinsborough, where Matt takes up the position of police sergeant. Brown described the Turners as a "wonderful family" with "some hidden secrets and dramatic moments."
Robbo Slade
Robert Alan "Robbo" Slade, portrayed by Aaron Jakubenko, first appeared on 15 February 2013. Jakubenko had previously featured in Neighbours in different roles. Robbo is a childhood friend of Mason Turner from Mount Isa and initially engages in criminal activities, including a botched factory robbery that results in Mason's arrest by his father Matt. Upon arriving in Erinsborough, Robbo breaks into the Turner residence and is later unveiled as Amber Turner's clandestine boyfriend.
Robbo is depicted as a cunning "bad boy," which appeals to Amber. After a break, he returned to filming in May 2013 and resumed his on-screen role in July. His storyline involves threatening the Turner family and others, orchestrating illegal poker games, and blackmailing Mason with footage involving Amber. These actions heighten conflicts with characters such as Sonya Mitchell and Paul Robinson.
Robbo's narrative concludes after he is involved in a hit-and-run incident that leaves him hospitalized. Before passing away due to cardiac arrest, he attempts to disclose information about Mason. The accident is later connected to Hudson Walsh, who admits to striking Robbo with his car.
Mason Turner
Mason Turner, played by Taylor Glockner, debuted on 22 February 2013. His casting was revealed on 4 November 2012. Glockner filmed for approximately five to six weeks before the production break in December, with his initial scenes featuring Ashleigh Brewer. Mason is the eldest child of Lauren Carpenter (Kate Kendall) and Matt Turner (Josef Brown). Kendall described him as "smouldering" and rebellious, while executive producer Richard Jasek referred to him as a "bad boy" with a good heart who makes mistakes for justifiable reasons. Glockner mentioned that Mason frequently teases his sister Amber (Jenna Rosenow) and has a strained relationship with his father. Mason arrives following juvenile detention due to a robbery conviction in which he was "innocently involved." Shortly after arriving, he persistently flirts with Kate Ramsay (Brewer).
Rhiannon Bates
Rhiannon Bates, portrayed by Teressa Liane, first appeared on 8 April 2013. To embody Rhiannon's distinctive style, Liane dyed her hair brunette and applied bold makeup. Rhiannon is Mason Turner's former girlfriend from Mount Isa and is characterized as outspoken and unforgettable. She arrives in Erinsborough intending to reconnect with Mason, making a striking entrance by climbing through his bedroom window. Her arrival coincides with Mason beginning a relationship with Kate Ramsay. Later, Mason kisses Rhiannon to gain information, an act witnessed by Kate.
Rhiannon discloses that she left her son Jackson with her sister and decides to remain in Erinsborough, moving into Number 26 Ramsay Street. She confesses to sending a threatening note to Matt Turner because of how he treated Mason. Facing financial difficulties, Rhiannon struggles to pay rent and becomes aware of Mason’s interest in Kate. After Paul Robinson insults her, she revamps her image on Sheila Canning’s advice and uses it to seduce Paul, ultimately leaving him handcuffed at Lassiter’s. Paul offers her $500 to accompany councillor Allan Hewitt to dinner; Allan’s support is crucial for Paul's apartment development plans. Rhiannon leaves upon sensing Allan's intentions.
Missing her son and questioning her role as a mother, Rhiannon decides to return to Mount Isa but reports Paul for bribery before departing. Months later, she returns to assist Matt with a corruption investigation involving Paul, agreeing to retract her statement in exchange for employment at Lassiter’s. Bringing Jackson along, she stays with Karl and Susan Kennedy at Number 28 Ramsay Street. Rhiannon seeks a casual relationship with Mason but is disappointed when he declines. Unhappy with her cleaning job due to communication challenges, she requests speech lessons from Susan. When Mason refuses her proposal to move in together, she accepts a position at Lassiter’s in Darwin.
Critics compared Rhiannon to an Australian counterpart of the British soap McQueens and described her as "racy." A columnist from TV Magazine noted that her makeover enhanced her attractiveness, especially following Paul's insults.
Jayden Warley
Jayden Warley, brought to life by Khan Oxenham, made his first appearance on 6 May 2013. Oxenham's involvement was confirmed in February 2013, with subsequent returns in 2015 and 2018. He found the role demanding yet rewarding, appreciating the opportunity to portray Jayden and acknowledging some commonalities, such as occasional lack of enthusiasm for certain subjects.
Jayden is primarily depicted as a bully, frequently victimizing Bailey Turner. He skillfully manipulates situations to evade repercussions, including coercing Bailey into silence following a fight. His reckless tendencies are evident through self-inflicted injuries from skateboarding stunts and causing damage to property. His mother, Sue Parker, sometimes steps in legally but ultimately chooses not to press charges after negotiations involving Paul Robinson.
His antagonistic behavior extends to various individuals like Ben Fitzgerald and Paige Smith. When Jayden attempts to blackmail Paige, she retaliates by recording him and compelling his silence. Following a fire at the school, Jayden confesses to attempting to implicate Stephanie Scully and expresses remorse for his actions.
Three years on, Jayden faces challenges securing employment but lands a trial position at Amy Williams' construction yard. Despite underperforming and breaching safety protocols, Amy offers him an apprenticeship. However, after an incident involving falling concrete slabs that injures Leo Tanaka, both Jayden and Sue are questioned by police and subsequently sentenced to six months in prison.

Terese Willis, portrayed by Rebekah Elmaloglou, arrived on 14 May 2013. Her casting was announced on 7 February 2013, prompting Elmaloglou and her family to relocate to Melbourne for filming purposes. Prior to filming, she requested a modification in the pronunciation of Terese’s name. Terese is introduced as Brad Willis's (Kip Gamblin) second wife, joining him along with their teenage twins; Josh (Harley Bonner) and Imogen (Ariel Kaplan). Elmaloglou described Terese as highly organized and someone she could easily befriend. The character’s arrival in Erinsborough centers around meeting Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) regarding a job opportunity at Lassiter's Hotel.
Imogen Willis
Imogen Willis, enacted by Ariel Kaplan, first appeared on 20 May 2013. Her casting was announced alongside the introduction of the Willis family on 7 February 2013, with Kaplan confirmed on 18 February while attending Melbourne’s 16th Street Actors Studio. Imogen is the twin sister of Joshua and daughter of Brad and Terese Willis. Kaplan described her character as self-assured, comfortable with herself, and a positive figure for young women. Within the family dynamic, Imogen often feels eclipsed by her brother Joshua’s swimming pursuits, resulting in a complex sibling relationship marked by both affection and rivalry.
Josh Willis
Joshua "Josh" Willis, portrayed by Harley Bonner, made his debut on 20 May 2013. His casting was revealed on 7 February 2013, with Bonner’s involvement confirmed on 18 February. Motivated by his agent’s encouragement, Bonner auditioned for the role and admitted to initial nervousness when filming alongside his on-screen family. Josh is Brad and Terese Willis’s son, characterized by ambition and determination. He shares a complicated relationship with his twin sister Imogen. To authentically portray Josh as an elite swimmer, Bonner dedicated substantial time training in swimming pools.
Walter Mitchell
Walter Mitchell, also referred to as Dave, is portrayed by Chris Haywood and made his debut on 17 June 2013. His casting was announced on 5 June, with confirmation following on 14 June. Walter was introduced as the uncle of Sonya Mitchell, who had been absent from her life for many years. Initially, he observes Sonya from afar before revealing his true identity, which initiates a tentative reconnection between them. Walter provides guidance to Sonya concerning her son Callum Rebecchi, while remaining reticent about his own history.
Upon arriving in Erinsborough, Walter begins interacting with the local community, attending social gatherings and engaging with Sonya’s family members. Although Sonya’s partner, Toadfish Rebecchi, initially welcomes him, Walter’s conduct soon raises suspicions; he steals possessions and battles with alcoholism. After participating in Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and experiencing brief moments of reconciliation, Walter confesses that he has been living under a false identity—he is actually Dave, having exchanged stories with the genuine Walter Mitchell at a halfway house. Before leaving town, he returns the stolen items.
Hudson Walsh
Hudson Walsh, played by Remy Hii, first appeared on 28 June 2013. The casting announcement came on 12 June 2013, by which time Hii had already begun filming. At the time unemployed and residing in Melbourne, Hii auditioned and secured the role within two days. He described the cast as friendly and expressed excitement about his recurring guest spot.
Hudson was brought in as a new romantic interest for established character Chris Pappas (James Mason). Hii explained that Hudson is a gay character with layers of complexity, approaching relationships cautiously due to past experiences. He is portrayed as a sensitive and determined competitive swimmer who is exploring new facets of life after relocating to Erinsborough. Additionally, Hudson becomes a rival to Joshua Willis (Harley Bonner), another naturally gifted swimmer.
Hudson encounters Joshua during training sessions with swim coach Don Cotter (John Adam), and subsequently begins dating Chris. Tensions arise when Chris discovers that Don persuaded Joshua to switch swimming events to avoid competing against Hudson. After experiencing chest pains, paramedics uncover that Hudson has been using performance-enhancing drugs. Chris demands that Hudson stop using them if their relationship is to continue; Hudson agrees and severs ties with Don.
Following a trip to Sydney, Hudson faces difficulties finding a new coach due to Joshua's antagonism but eventually starts training under Brad Willis (Kip Gamblin). Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) offers Hudson a sponsorship deal that nearly collapses upon learning of his drug use but proceeds after Hudson provides reassurances. Despite ongoing friction, Hudson and Joshua manage to reconcile.
Hudson supports friends Chris, Joshua, and Mason Turner (Taylor Glockner) in confronting blackmail threats involving explicit footage of Amber Turner (Jenna Rosenow). When Robbo Slade (Aaron Jakubenko) dies in a hit-and-run incident, Hudson is questioned due to CCTV footage but is cleared by an alibi from Don. Discovering that Joshua was involved in a fight with Robbo, Hudson covers for him but eventually loses interest in swimming and quits the sport.
Later, Hudson confesses to having run down Robbo while attempting to protect Amber. He is charged and sentenced to four years imprisonment. Initially cutting off contact with Chris, he later expresses his feelings through letters. They try to maintain their relationship via video calls despite obstacles such as revoked privileges and misunderstandings that lead Hudson to end the relationship. Chris clarifies his intentions, and they part on friendly terms.
Marty Kranic
Marty Kranic, played by Darius Perkins, made his first appearance on 29 July 2013. Perkins, who originally portrayed Scott Robinson in 1985, was initially signed on for a month-long stint. Marty is characterized as a "dodgy associate" of Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) with a talent for handling difficult problems. Perkins expressed enthusiasm for taking on a villainous role, which was a departure from his earlier character.
Paul invites Marty to join a poker game to utilize his card-playing expertise and assigns him the task of dealing with Robbo Slade (Aaron Jakubenko). In exchange, Marty receives complimentary access to Lassiter's executive suite. Marty tries to infiltrate Robbo’s poker sessions but is unsuccessful and later reports back to Paul. Following Robbo's death caused by a hit-and-run, Lucas Fitzgerald (Scott Major) reveals that Marty had accused Robbo of cheating with marked cards. Marty denies any involvement in the accident but advises Paul not to suspect him.
When questioned by police, Marty falsely claims he saw Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) commit the hit-and-run. Several months later, Marty reappears attempting to blackmail Paul, who is campaigning for mayor. He offers damaging information about Paul to Paul's opponent, Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher), but Karl chooses not to act on it.
Josie Lamb
Josie Lamb, portrayed by Madison Daniel, first appeared on 12 August 2013. Daniel had previously appeared in Neighbours as Claudia Howard in 2012 and was initially cast for a recurring role lasting ten months. She reprised the role in 2017, with Josie returning from 6 February.
Josie was introduced as a self-assured student and friend of Callum Jones. She developed feelings for Callum but attempted to alter herself to resemble Imogen Willis, whom Callum admired. This led Josie to engage in excessive dieting and exercise, causing concern for Callum's mother, Sonya Mitchell. The storyline explored eating disorders by depicting different facets through Josie's and Imogen's experiences. Josie's unhealthy behavior culminated in her collapsing during a community fun run due to dehydration and malnutrition.
At school, Josie endured bullying because of her intelligence, appearance, and family background. She connected with Callum through an online game and eventually started dating him after clearing up misunderstandings. Her mother Ellen Crabb was introduced as the lead detective investigating a hit-and-run involving Callum's father, adding complexity to Josie's storyline. In an effort to emulate Imogen, Josie changed her appearance and joined a gym, raising concerns about her health.
After collapsing at the fun run and being diagnosed with malnutrition in hospital, Josie confronted her issues with body image and eating habits. Upon discovering Imogen's struggle with bulimia, she chose to attend the school dance where she and Callum shared their first kiss and began their relationship. Despite occasional disagreements—such as when Callum was upset by Josie's remarks about another character—they reconciled through gestures like Callum giving Josie a puppy (which she later returned due to allergies) and presenting her with an engraved padlock at Lassiter's Lake on Valentine's Day.
Josie questioned their relationship as they contemplated becoming intimate but ultimately decided to wait. She supported Callum when he left for a scholarship opportunity in the United States. Additionally, Josie assisted Bailey Turner in navigating school club politics involving proxy voting.
While studying at university, Josie's parents Ellen and Victoria Lamb separated. Upon returning home, Josie discovered Victoria's romantic interest in Stephanie Scully and warned Steph to keep her distance while her parents worked through their issues. Following various confrontations involving Steph and Toadie's daughter Nell, Josie filed an intervention order against Steph; this was later revealed to have been orchestrated by Ellen and was eventually withdrawn.
Alek Pocoli
Alek Pocoli, played by Damian De Montemas, made his first appearance on 9 September 2013. The announcement of De Montemas's casting was made on 30 August 2013. To portray Alek authentically, De Montemas crafted a distinctive accent blending influences from Alek’s education in England and his time living in the United States. Alek is introduced as the estranged former husband of established character Vanessa Villante (Alin Sumarwata). His arrival in Erinsborough brings a crucial revelation that disrupts Vanessa’s life and unsettles her fiancé Lucas Fitzgerald (Scott Major). De Montemas noted that Alek’s sense of humor, which often annoys Lucas, adds depth to the character.
After failing to find Vanessa at her residence, Alek locates her at Harold's Store. He discloses that their annulment was never processed to avoid family embarrassment, meaning they are still legally wed. Alek expresses regret over his past behavior and invites Vanessa to discuss matters privately in his hotel room. When Lucas learns about their ongoing marital status, Alek—now financially well-off—offers Vanessa $100,000 to waive any claims on his wealth. Vanessa agrees, and they complete the annulment process. Before leaving to reunite with his fiancée, Alek references a hotel they once stayed at in Tirana, Albania, symbolizing their final goodbye.
Gemma Reeves
Gemma "Gem" Reeves, portrayed by Kathryn Beck, first appeared on 7 October 2013. Beck’s casting was revealed in September 2013, with the character having been mentioned earlier in the storyline. Beck characterized Gem as someone who pushes limits and acts unpredictably. Gem is related to established characters Georgia Brooks (Saskia Hampele) and Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) as their cousin. She arrives in Erinsborough aiming to reconnect with Georgia, whom she admires greatly. Georgia warmly welcomes Gem and persuades her to move into Toadie's home, setting up forthcoming dramatic events. A TV Week journalist described Gem as a "blonde bombshell" and "hottie."
Eric Edwards
Eric Edwards, brought to life by Paul O'Brien, debuted on 10 October 2013. His casting announcement came on 2 October 2013, coinciding with O'Brien filming during a break from a feature film shoot in Jakarta, where he grew a beard for this role. Eric is introduced as a client of local lawyer Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) involved in legal proceedings.
Eric claims a back injury caused by a malfunctioning gym machine and hires Toadie to sue the gym. However, it later emerges that the injury was sustained during a skiing accident, prompting Eric to withdraw the lawsuit. Toadie considers pursuing action against the ski instructor but discovers Eric was intoxicated during the incident and had been dishonest about it. Subsequently, Eric initiates a negligence lawsuit against Toadie after learning that Brad's daughter, Imogen (Ariel Kaplan), was employed at Toadie's law firm during his case. When Eric’s wife, Mandy (Emelia Burns), becomes aware of the lawsuit, she moves out with their daughter.
Toadie and his wife, Sonya (Eve Morey), invite Eric and Mandy for lunch. The ensuing argument causes Eric and Mandy to reflect on problems within their own marriage. Ultimately, Eric drops the legal action and reconciles with Mandy, who returns home.
Jacob Holmes
Jacob Holmes, played by Clayton Watson, first appeared on 28 November 2013 as a widowed father facing difficulties. His introduction came through Sonya Rebecchi's (Eve Morey) parenting blog. After nearly losing his son Elliott’s (Ryder Smyth) pram in Lassiter’s Lake, Jacob entrusts Elliott to Sonya before briefly vanishing. Upon his return, Sonya offers emotional support during his mourning and provides him with construction work at her nursery, sparking the hope of a romantic relationship that leads to Jacob kissing her—a gesture he soon regrets.
Jacob reaches out to Sonya after reading her blog, disclosing that his wife Hannah passed away soon after Elliott was born, leaving him isolated. When Elliott needs hospitalization, Jacob is warned that failure to act could result in his son becoming a ward of the state. Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney), Sonya’s husband, contacts Jacob’s in-laws, which creates friction. Sonya encourages Jacob to develop a relationship with Toadie and offers him employment at the nursery.
Confronted with custody battles initiated by Hannah's parents, Jacob seeks Toadie's assistance for mediation. Following an unwanted kiss from Jacob—rejected by Sonya—she ends their friendship and advises Georgia Brooks (Saskia Hampele) to support him instead. Jacob suspects Toadie of leaking information to his in-laws but discovers they hired a private investigator. Motivated by Sonya to contest custody, Jacob ultimately opts to relocate to Adelaide to be near family, concluding his storyline in early 2014.
