Cat Rogers
Catriona "Cat" Rogers, portrayed by Maleeka Gasbarri, made her debut on 19 January 2015.[2] Her casting was revealed on 15 January 2015.[2] Gasbarri earned the guest role, which lasted a month, after being noticed by a Neighbours casting representative during an Australian Film and Television Academy course held in Perth.
Cat is the daughter of Erin Rogers (Adrienne Pickering) and was placed into care because of her mother's struggles with substance abuse. Erin communicates to Sonya Mitchell (Eve Morey) that Cat prefers minimal interaction via Facebook. Sonya’s spouse, Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney), organizes a meeting between Cat and Erin; however, Cat initially hesitates due to anxiety. She later arrives ahead of schedule, forms a connection with Toadie through BMX biking, and reconnects with Erin. Upon discovering that Erin attended her cricket games without acknowledging her, Cat abruptly leaves but returns after receiving a letter from her mother. When Erin invites her to stay, Cat agrees but finds Erin absent upon arrival. Sonya and Toadie offer Cat accommodation for the night. Cat expresses a wish to live with them instead of her foster family, who are expecting a child. After discussing with her foster mother Lorraine (Michelle Celebicanin), Cat opts to return home while Sonya and Toadie reassure her that she is welcome to visit whenever she likes.
Michelle Kim
Michelle Kim, enacted by Ra Chapman, first appeared on-screen on 6 February 2015. Chapman finished filming her role in April 2015. Michelle is connected to the dubious businessman Dennis Dimato (David Serafin). Chapman described Michelle as determined and tough, managing an illegal car operation and becoming increasingly ruthless as the storyline progressed.
When Matt Turner (Josef Brown) starts working as a security guard at Dimato Industries, Michelle supervises him and attempts to involve him in their unlawful activities. After Matt resigns, he returns seeking additional shifts, which Michelle approves. She also recruits Tyler Brennan (Travis Burns) to dismantle stolen vehicles for parts, exploiting his tense relationship with his brother Mark (Scott McGregor) to draw him into criminal acts. Following a police investigation into a stolen car incident, Dimato is arrested but later granted bail; he and Michelle then purchase Fitzgerald Motors to conceal their illegal dealings. When Dimato flees overseas, Michelle assumes control.
Michelle coerces Tyler into replacing a stolen vehicle taken by Bailey Turner (Calen Mackenzie), demanding either $8,000 or another theft. Upon discovering that Paige Smith (Olympia Valance) reported the theft to authorities, Michelle blackmails Paige into assisting Tyler and appoints her as an assistant at the garage. A police raid forces both Michelle and Paige to flee; Michelle injures her ankle but agrees to Paige’s suggestion of legitimizing the garage business. Dimato returns and reunites with Michelle and their crew. Suspecting Tyler of informing the police, Michelle attempts to escape during another raid but is captured after Paige intervenes.
Months later, upon release from custody, Michelle seeks Mark’s assistance to protect herself from Dimato’s threats of retaliation. She later manipulates Paige by feigning injury to implicate her in a burglary as part of a scheme involving Dimato. Despite being assaulted by Dimato during an argument, Michelle continues with the plan. When Paige uncovers stolen goods in an apartment rented under her name for Michelle’s use, Michelle alerts the police. Paige removes the items before law enforcement arrives while Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) blackmails Dimato into leaving town. Following these events, Michelle also exits Erinsborough.
Tyler Brennan
Tyler Brennan, played by Travis Burns, made his first appearance on 6 February 2015. His casting was announced on 3 November 2014, after Burns auditioned while residing in the United States. He described joining the long-running series during its 30th anniversary as "ideal timing." Tyler is introduced as the younger sibling of the established character Mark Brennan (Scott McGregor). Burns and McGregor shared a connection through their modelling agency prior to filming, which facilitated his selection for the role. Tyler is depicted as a mechanic with a "bad boy with a heart" persona and is known for being a "troublesome ladies' man."
Nick Petrides
Nick Petrides, portrayed by Damien Fotiou, first appeared on-screen on 19 February 2015. His casting was unveiled on 20 November 2014 through a behind-the-scenes feature. Nick is introduced as an oncologist and the brother of Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou), arriving in Erinsborough to reconnect with family members. Fotiou described Nick as having "honorable intentions" while also being deceitful, labeling him as "one of the show's most twisted antagonists." To embody the role, Fotiou underwent a transformation to present a more conservative appearance.
Nick's storyline centered on a fabricated cancer scheme targeting Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis), which included forging medical documents and administering chemotherapy treatments. He manipulated hospital personnel and falsely implicated nurse Georgia Brooks (Saskia Hampele), resulting in her suspension and termination. Nick's actions ultimately led to his arrest and suspension from practicing medicine.
In 2017, Nick reappeared during Terese's breast cancer plotline, recommending immunotherapy and managing her treatment while under parole conditions that barred him from medical practice but permitted involvement in research activities. His return ignited conflict with Paul Robinson, who attempted to prevent his release and undermine his credibility.
Nick aimed to establish a wellness centre for cancer patients at the Robinsons Motel, supported by Stephanie Scully (Carla Bonner). Despite Paul's attempts to buy out the project, Nick declined financial offers intended to relocate his initiative. His relationship with Amy Williams (Zoe Cramond) developed amid tensions caused by Paul's interference.
Eventually, Nick's parole was revoked after he was found in possession of illegal cancer drugs planted by Paul. He remained incarcerated following an altercation with a prison guard, while legal counsel arranged by Paul sought to manage his case. Off-screen, Nick planned a visit to Darwin to see family.
This narrative arc underscores the strategic use of medical knowledge and manipulation within the storyline, highlighting complex character interactions and business-related plots involving healthcare innovation and ethical dilemmas.
Jimmy Williams
Jimmy Williams, brought to life by Darcy Tadich, debuted on 10 June 2015, marking Tadich’s television debut. Jimmy is Amy Williams’ son and Paul Robinson’s first grandchild; initially, Paul was unaware of Jimmy due to his estrangement from Amy. Over time, Jimmy and Paul develop a close relationship, although Amy expresses concern that Paul might spoil him excessively. Tadich described Jimmy as a "carefree" child with an interest in video games. Tadich departed the series in May 2018 when Jimmy moves to New York with his father but returned for guest appearances in 2019 and 2020.
Prompted by Amy’s cousin Daniel Robinson, Amy returns to Erinsborough accompanied by Jimmy to rebuild ties with Paul. Jimmy forms bonds with both Paul and Paul's assistant Naomi Canning. While Paul gifts Jimmy lavish presents, Amy returns them to maintain boundaries. Jimmy exploits secrets found in residents’ letters to blackmail Karl and Susan Kennedy for treats but later apologizes after clashing with Sheila Canning.
Jimmy befriends Kyle Canning and spends time at Dial-a-Kyle builders' yard. A budding romance between Amy and Kyle is interrupted when Jimmy’s father Liam Barnett visits. After Liam accepts a bribe from Paul to stay away, Jimmy distances himself from Paul. Subsequently, Amy and Jimmy move in with Kyle and Sheila; initially resentful toward Kyle, Jimmy warms up after discovering Liam’s criminal activities. He also befriends Stephanie Scully’s son Charlie Hoyland.
When Paul is accused of causing an explosion and goes into hiding, Jimmy warns him about police arrival but suffers an allergic reaction after following him into the bush. Paul takes him to hospital but is arrested there, creating tension for Jimmy. He challenges Charlie to dares that lead to hospital visits, revealing struggles related to abandonment by his father, grandfather, and Kyle.
After being struck by a car while chasing a drone—resulting in surgery for a ruptured spleen—Jimmy’s circumstances prompt Amy to move out; although initially blaming Kyle, Jimmy eventually moves into Paul's penthouse at Lassiter's.
Following an incident where he crashes his drone and mistakenly believes he caused Stephanie's accident, Jimmy forms an unexpected bond with Nick Petrides at the hospital despite initial reservations. When Shane Rebecchi is injured in a bike accident, Jimmy attempts to buy Kirsha Rebecchi a smartwatch but lacks funds. Influenced by Tia Martinez, he steals alcohol from hotel rooms for resale; when bottles are planted in Xanthe Canning’s bag leading to her suspension from school, Jimmy admits guilt.
Jimmy develops feelings for Poppy Ryan and starts dating her with Kirsha’s assistance. Liam returns seeking reconciliation; after collapsing due to illness, Liam rushes Jimmy to hospital. When Kirsha reports bullying by Poppy, Jimmy confronts her and ends their relationship.
Liam plans relocation to New York City and invites Jimmy; Amy declines for her son's welfare. However, Jimmy later expresses interest in moving there and leaves for six months accompanied by Paul.
The following year, Amy’s partner Gary Canning brings Jimmy back for her birthday and surprise wedding events. After Amy refuses Gary's proposal, she and Jimmy briefly leave before returning. Paul attempts to persuade Jimmy that Amy preferred Kyle; however, Jimmy supports Amy’s decision.
Months later, Amy learns that Jimmy is experiencing difficulties during adolescence involving conflicts with Liam and disapproved friends. After stealing money from Amy, Jimmy reveals he secretly brought his girlfriend from Australia due to her abusive father situation. Missing Amy’s support, he urges her to relocate with him to New York. Amid her faltering relationship with Kyle, Amy ends things with him and departs Erinsborough alongside Jimmy and Leo.

The announcement of Wilson's casting was made on 17 May 2015, prompting him to move from Sydney to Melbourne to film the role. Aaron is introduced as the third brother in the Brennan family, joining Mark and Tyler. Wilson characterized Aaron as "a very confident young man" who takes pleasure in brightening others' lives and remains composed in various circumstances. His introduction was marked by a striking entrance as a male stripper before reconnecting with his siblings. Aaron's character is also openly gay, potentially becoming a romantic interest for Nate Kinski. Industry observers expressed surprise at this character direction and hoped Wilson's involvement would extend beyond his initial appearance.
Mary Smith
Mary Smith, portrayed by Gina Liano, debuted on 30 June 2015. This role represented Liano’s first acting experience, secured after she impressed casting directors during her screen test. Filming began on 14 April 2015, with Liano describing the opportunity as an enjoyable new challenge. Mary serves as the adoptive mother of Paige Smith, a role that Paige’s actress, Olympia Valance, praised as perfectly cast. Liano retained her personal style for the character, which contributed to her selection for the part. Mary returned to the series in February 2016.
Mary arrives in Erinsborough to celebrate Paige’s 21st birthday and engages with Paige’s biological parents, Lauren Carpenter and Brad Willis. She apologizes for her unexpected visit and reveals that her son Ethan has been keeping her informed about Paige’s life events. Mary hopes that Paige will come with her to Singapore, but Paige declines due to ongoing police matters. When Paige marries Mark Brennan, Mary sends a wedding dress as a gift and eventually attends the ceremony despite initially opting out; however, the wedding is called off after Mark arrests Paige. Mary offers emotional support to Paige and encourages her to return to Singapore alongside her.
Russell Brennan
Russell Brennan, played by Russell Kiefel, first appeared on 29 July 2015. His casting was revealed on 29 June 2015. Russell is the father of Mark (Scott McGregor), Tyler (Travis Burns), and Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson). His storyline addresses domestic violence, focusing on his past abuse of his sons and his attempts at reconciliation, though they remain wary of him. Kiefel described portraying Russell as a challenge aimed at demonstrating that the character has changed.
Russell arrives in Ramsay Street following Mark’s invitation, seeking to rebuild relationships with his sons. He meets Mark’s partner Paige Smith and Sheila Canning, whom he later dates. Sheila offers assistance in buying Fitzgerald Motors after Russell's garage in Port Lincoln struggles with sales; however, Mark uncovers that Sheila’s son, Gary Canning, provided the money through illegal means, resulting in police involvement. In response, Mark and Aaron contribute their savings to support Russell.
Conflict arises when Russell loses control with Tyler and nearly reverts to violence, leading his sons to confront him about past abuse. Russell acknowledges his actions, prompting Mark, Aaron, and Tyler to ask him to leave. Sheila declines to accompany him and urges him to seek professional help.
Two years later, Russell suffers a heart attack and invites his ex-wife Fay Brennan (Zoe Bertram) for a visit. He passes away shortly before his sons and Sheila plan their visit. It is subsequently revealed that Tyler’s biological father is Hamish Roche, who, along with nurse Louise McLeod, was responsible for Russell’s murder.
Courtney Grixti
Courtney Grixti, brought to life by Emma Lane, made her first appearance on 4 August 2015. Lane, who was dating fellow cast member Travis Burns (Tyler Brennan) at the time, expressed enthusiasm about joining the series. Initially cast in a guest capacity, she resumed filming early in 2016.
Courtney’s employment begins as a barmaid at The Waterhole before she transitions to managing the spa at Lassiter's Hotel. Early narrative arcs involve a short-lived relationship with Josh Willis, complicated by his family issues and his former girlfriend Amber Turner. Subsequently, she becomes involved with Tyler Brennan, which triggers jealousy and tension with Piper Willis, who mistakenly suspects Courtney of having an affair with mayoral hopeful Tim Collins—later revealed to be her father. Courtney plays a key role in resolving the conflict when Piper faces legal action from Tim.
Following disagreements with her father and ending her relationship with Tyler, Courtney offers support to Paige Smith as she moves on emotionally. She eventually leaves university and takes up a position at Lassiter's spa, where concerns emerge regarding her unconventional massage techniques for male clients. Terese Willis dismisses her amid rumors of inappropriate behavior; however, it is clarified that Courtney employs psychological methods to deliver emotional therapy during treatments. Despite offers to return, Courtney chooses to resign and initiates a $5 million lawsuit against Terese before returning engaged to hotel investor Paul Robinson.
Paul persuades Courtney to withdraw the lawsuit and appoints her as Rejuvenation Consultant. Their engagement stirs suspicion among Paul's relatives and the Erinsborough community. Courtney navigates complex dynamics with Paul’s son Leo Tanaka, who attempts to kiss her; she remains loyal to Paul. They disclose that their engagement was initially fabricated to counter Terese and Tim but later contemplate making it official. After announcing a wedding that never actually takes place, they reveal no ceremony occurred. Following reconciliation with Tim Collins, Courtney leaves Lassiter's but maintains her engagement to Paul.
Piper Willis
Piper Willis, portrayed by Mavournee Hazel, was introduced on 16 September 2015. Although mentioned since her family’s arrival in 2013, Hazel’s casting was confirmed in August 2015. Hazel moved to Melbourne for filming and described Piper as "feisty" and "quirky."

Shay develops a romantic connection with Kyle Canning and integrates well into the Lassiter's staff, earning praise from Terese. However, she secretly acts as a spy for the Quill Group, orchestrating hotel restructuring plans and demanding that Paul Robinson vacate the property. While retaining Terese as manager, Shay retaliates against Kyle by terminating his contract and damaging his professional reputation. After an incident involving Amy Williams, Shay departs for Dubai.
In 2021, Shay returns to collaborate with Jesse Porter, an employee at Lassiter's who is spying for the Quill Group. She exerts pressure on Jesse to collect intelligence and restore the company’s damaged reputation following Julie Quill’s actions.

Shay insists on securing alternative funding as the business faces imminent collapse.
Cecilia Saint
Cecilia Saint, played by Candice Alley, made her first appearance on 11 November 2015. The announcement of Alley's casting coincided with her debut date; she underwent a swift audition process before being confirmed for the role. Alley expressed gratitude for the friendly atmosphere among the cast and crew and showed excitement about joining the renowned Australian drama. Initial filming took place in August, with Alley returning in 2016 to further develop Cecilia’s narrative. The character was unveiled as "an enigmatic woman" entangled in a plot aimed at Stephanie Scully (Carla Bonner). Alley valued the opportunity to portray a character who is also a single mother.
Cecilia arrives at Fitzgerald Motors requesting brake pad replacement on her vehicle from Steph but disputes the invoice afterward. She introduces her son Harrison (Zebedee Howell), although she refers to him as Charlie when speaking with Steph. After receiving a refund, Cecilia contacts Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) to inform him that she has unsettled Steph, following his instructions. Later, Harrison phones Steph to say he misses her.
Several months later, Paul employs Cecilia to disrupt the Citizen of the Year event at Lassiter's Hotel, which culminates in an explosion. Paul tries to reach her afterwards but she does not respond. When Paul is arrested, Steph confronts Cecilia, who insists she was at the hospital with her son during the incident and refuses to testify against Paul, pledging to deny any involvement if questioned.
Subsequently, Cecilia approaches Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou) seeking Piper (Mavournee Hazel), who had posted an interview referencing Cecilia. Convinced of Paul's guilt, Cecilia accepts Terese’s offer of payment and employment in exchange for providing false testimony implicating Paul in the explosion. During the trial, Cecilia commits perjury until Terese confesses to bribing her to fabricate evidence.
