Raymond and Ivan Renshaw

Raymond Renshaw, portrayed by Frank Magree, alongside Ivan Renshaw, played by Michael Shanahan, made their first appearance on 11 January 2019. The Renshaw family, a criminal syndicate based in Sydney, had been referenced since the arrival of Leo Tanaka (Tim Kano) in 2016, when Leo reported their involvement in money laundering activities. Raymond’s daughter, Delaney Renshaw (Ella Newton), was introduced to the storyline in December 2018.

Toward the end of December, Ivan and Raymond became pivotal figures in a dramatic "shock siege" narrative, driven by a vendetta against Leo for his role in their imprisonment. Ivan fires at Leo inside The Waterhole, but Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou) is hit instead. Subsequently, Raymond takes several people hostage at gunpoint inside Harold's Café.

Delaney informs Raymond that it was Leo who acted as the informant, not Mannix, leading the brothers to focus their retaliation on Leo. After Ivan shoots Terese and escapes, Raymond arrives at the scene disguised as a patron and seizes control of Harold's Café by holding multiple characters hostage. Despite police intervention efforts, Raymond initially refuses to release all captives but later frees some following negotiations. When Leo confronts him, Raymond is subdued by officers before he can fire a shot. He is then taken into custody and shown handcuffed at the police station.

Vera Punt

Vera Punt, brought to life by Sally-Anne Upton, made her debut on 23 January 2019. Upton’s casting for this recurring role was announced on 14 January 2019. Vera is introduced as the sister of Valerie Grundy, who passed away the previous month. She arrives on Ramsay Street to claim custody of Valerie’s dog, Regina Grundy, sparking a dispute with caretakers David Tanaka and Aaron Brennan over ownership rights and legal authority.

Upton characterized Vera as candid and unpredictable, adding a distinctive "edge" to Neighbours. Critics have described her as both "despicable yet endearing" and "the town’s persistent complainer." Beyond acting, Upton contributed to the show as its COVID-19 nurse and valued new story arcs created as a gesture of appreciation. Vera features in Neighbours' final episode, with Upton expressing pride in contributing to the series’ legacy. She was added to the opening credits in April 2025.

Within her storyline, Vera insists that Regina is rightfully hers and refuses to return the dog without formal legal action. She later initiates a lawsuit against Lassiters after sustaining injuries caused by Leo Tanaka during an act of vandalism, despite family members urging her not to proceed legally. Vera participates in community events such as a charity bachelor auction where she purchases Aaron’s company and frequently engages in conflicts with neighbors.

Her narrative includes disputes over property lines and tenancy matters at 32 Ramsay Street—a property she acquires from Leo Tanaka. She threatens to raise rent and declines payment for maintenance work, causing friction with tenants Mackenzie Hargreaves and Haz Devkar. Following their departure, Vera seeks new housemates and temporarily moves into their shared residence due to financial difficulties linked to a gambling problem.

Eventually, Vera contemplates relocating to the Eirene Rising retirement village. After initial hesitation, she tours the facility and signs the necessary paperwork to move in, where she quickly becomes involved in local gossip and questions staff appointments at Lassiters. She enjoys participating in community activities such as a nude magician performance.

Vera suffers health complications requiring an appendectomy after initially resisting medical care. Despite her often contentious demeanor, she remains an influential figure on Ramsay Street. In 2022, a columnist remarked that Vera "certainly isn’t one of the street’s most favored residents."

Melissa Lohan

Melissa "Mel" Lohan, played by Jacqui Purvis, made her first appearance on 25 January 2019 as Chloe Brennan's ex-partner. Created to delve into Chloe's personal history and bisexual identity, Mel was characterized by a spiteful breakup and was labeled a "villain" by media due to her manipulative conduct in Erinsborough. Critics acknowledged her potential for recurring storylines, although her involvement in arson curtailed this possibility. Purvis earned commendations for her portrayal. Mel exited the show on 4 March 2019.

Mel arrives in Erinsborough following an invitation from Aaron Brennan, Chloe’s brother. Initially rejected by Chloe, Mel expresses remorse for previous wrongdoings such as theft and leaving Chloe financially burdened, which leads to a cautious reconciliation. Pursuing job opportunities, Mel approaches Paul Robinson about joining the sales team for the Robinson Pines development but faces initial refusal. After contributing to a sale and impressing Paul, she secures the role of sales manager. Despite Chloe’s interest in Elly Conway, Mel and Chloe briefly rekindle their relationship. Mel also convinces Paul to expand Robinson Pines and negotiates with local entrepreneur Lucas Fitzgerald.

After Chloe is diagnosed with Huntington’s disease, Mel offers her support and they resume their romance. She invests in office space at Lassiters and secretly orchestrates a fire at Lucas’s garage by manipulating Heath Kabel, unaware that apprentice Bea Nilsson is trapped inside a van during the blaze. Suspicion arises around Mel after Bea witnesses her paying Heath. Upon discovering evidence linking Mel to the fire, Chloe confronts her and ends their relationship due to broken trust. Mel threatens to reveal Chloe’s kiss with Elly but ultimately departs following Elly’s plea for discretion. Later, Mel is apprehended in South Australia after Heath cooperates with law enforcement.

Claudia Watkins

Claudia Watkins, portrayed by Kate Raison, first appeared on 29 March 2019 as the estranged mother of Finn Kelly (Rob Mills). Introduced to add depth to Finn’s narrative, Claudia was described by critics as a "troublesome mother" and a "formidable figure," highlighting her calculating and intimidating demeanor. Her arrival also paved the way for the return of recurring character Samantha Fitzgerald (Simone Buchanan). Claudia’s antagonistic dynamic with Elly Conway (Jodi Anasta) was emphasized, with Elly remaining cautious due to Claudia’s past interactions with her sons.

Summoned by Finn's physician Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher), Claudia comes to Erinsborough under the guise of retrieving her younger son, Shaun Watkins (Brad Moller). Initially cold towards Finn, whom she deems a psychopath, she is persuaded by Shaun to stay. Claudia’s presence reveals intricate family tensions, including attempts to drive a wedge between Finn and Shaun and efforts to sway legal matters concerning Finn.

Subsequently, Claudia visits Finn and Elly—who is expecting Shaun's child—seeking reconciliation after Shaun’s fatal avalanche accident. However, she covertly finances investigations into Elly’s background and manipulates circumstances by destroying evidence related to Finn’s case. After Finn dies, Claudia returns aiming for custody of her granddaughter Aster Conway, exploiting Elly’s manslaughter charge. She employs Samantha Fitzgerald as legal counsel and works against the Kennedy family by pressuring Susan Kennedy and manipulating legal proceedings to secure temporary custody of Aster.

Claudia invests in local real estate, including acquiring a penthouse and attempting to buy Chloe Brennan's island—both locations tied to Finn's offenses—thereby further entrenching herself in Erinsborough. She enlists local teenagers in support of her plans while secretly bribing officials. When Chloe and others uncover her schemes, Claudia prepares to flee but is confronted by Shaun, who survived alone and demands answers regarding Aster. Under pressure, Claudia admits to her crimes but faces rejection from Shaun and legal repercussions. Before being remanded, she insists that Elly is unfit for parenthood, fueling ongoing disputes over Aster's custody and culminating in additional charges against her.

Roxy Willis

Roxy Willis, brought to life by Zima Anderson, made her first appearance on 29 April 2019. Anderson, who had been pursuing a role on Neighbours since relocating to Melbourne, described Roxy as "extremely lively and mischievous," with a "cheerful" yet defiant demeanor. Introduced as the niece of established character Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou), Roxy is actually the daughter of Adam Willis and Gemma Ramsay (Beth Buchanan). Gemma hoped Terese could assist in managing Roxy's unruly tendencies. Shortly following her arrival, Roxy’s older boyfriend Vance Abernethy (Conrad Coleby) was also introduced.

Dean Mahoney

Dean Mahoney, portrayed by Henry Strand, made his debut on 2 May 2019. Presented as the rebellious son of Dr. Dora Dietrich (Kirsty Hillhouse), Dean is a student at Erinsborough High who frequently clashes with pregnant teacher Elly Conway (Jodi Anasta). After being assigned detention, Dean uncovers Elly’s fabricated pregnancy by accessing her confidential medical records—since she is his mother’s patient—and uses this information to coerce her into breaking the law. His manipulation intensifies when he steals an ultrasound image to maintain control, drawing the attention of Finn Kelly (Rob Mills), who later pays Dean to transfer schools.

Dean reappears in December, stalking Elly and confessing his role in her job loss. He expresses remorse for his previous actions, attributing them to personal difficulties following his school dropout, but continues supplying information about Elly’s history to Finn's mother Claudia Watkins (Kate Raison) through a private investigator.

Vance Abernethy

Vance Abernethy, played by Conrad Coleby, arrived on screen on 16 May 2019. Announced in April 2019, Coleby praised the cast as "a fantastic group" and enjoyed his working relationship with Rebekah Elmaloglou (Terese). Vance is introduced as the older boyfriend of Roxy Willis (Zima Anderson) and a former lover of Terese, who reminisces about their past turbulent romance. Coleby described Vance and Roxy's relationship as both "fiery" and "tender," highlighting their strong and enjoyable bond. Knowing Terese and Roxy are related, Vance often reflects on his history with Terese but believes she is deceiving herself, leading to frequent conflicts with her partner Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis).

Vance comes to Erinsborough to be with Roxy and reveals to Leo Tanaka (Tim Kano) that he funded her investment in the Back Lane Bar, effectively becoming Leo's new business partner. To win Leo’s approval, Vance stops Roxy’s plan for an outback-themed bar. He reconnects with Terese and Ned Willis (Ben Hall), who originally introduced him to Roxy. Although Terese realizes Roxy is unaware of their shared past, Vance insists his love for Roxy is genuine and that he wants to safeguard her fresh start, prompting Terese to keep their history hidden from both Roxy and Paul.

Vance brings a racehorse he and Roxy intend to sell in order to finance their future plans, but the prospective buyer backs out. Leo uncovers that the horse was stolen without Roxy’s knowledge. After an initial low-priced sale to Paul, Terese intervenes upon learning the truth and cancels the transaction. Vance then finds another buyer and decides to leave town alone, sharing a farewell embrace with Terese where he calls her his first love.

When Terese discovers that Vance sold the horse to Pierce Greyson (Tim Robards), she threatens legal action but remains confident in her care for him. However, Paul contacts the police after Leo informs him that Vance embezzled funds from the bar. Terese urges Vance to escape and refuses to accompany him. Weeks later, Vance returns after witnessing a kiss between Roxy and Paul, responding by attacking Paul. Although Gary Canning (Damien Richardson) takes the blame for the assault, Roxy feels responsible and urges Vance to admit his wrongdoing if he truly loves her. As Vance attempts to leave the backpackers' hostel, law enforcement arrests him.

Ebony Buttrose

Ebony Buttrose, portrayed by Christie Hayes, made her debut on 7 June 2019. Hayes's involvement was revealed on 24 March 2019, with the actress describing her role on Neighbours as a "dream come true" and commending the professional environment. Ebony becomes entangled in a "complicated" romantic triangle and is introduced as the fiancée of Pierce Greyson (Tim Robards). A journalist pointed out that Pierce’s former partner, Chloe Brennan (April Rose Pengilly), harbors suspicions about Ebony, who harbors numerous secrets. Hayes noted that Ebony possesses "many layers."

Ebony arrives at the Back Lane Bar intending to meet Pierce but unexpectedly finds him sharing a kiss with Chloe. Pierce dismisses the situation as a misunderstanding. Later, at The Waterhole, Ebony invites Chloe for coffee and recounts how she met Pierce at a charity event. Ebony persuades Pierce to purchase a home for them in Melbourne. Terese permits Ebony to hire Chloe as her personal concierge while establishing an office for Ebony’s perfume venture. Ebony cautions Chloe against turning into an adversary, suspecting that Chloe doubts Pierce’s financial backing of her business. Ebony agrees to maintain a friendship with Chloe provided Pierce grants her space. Although they acquire a house, Ebony postpones allowing Pierce to visit it, citing ongoing decoration.

Chloe uncovers that Ebony’s crystal perfume bottles are made of glass and discovers bank transfers from Ebony to a private account. Ebony confesses that she diverts some of Pierce’s funds to her sister, Crystal Buttrose (Rachel Soding), a single mother residing at the new property—a fact she had concealed from Pierce. With Chloe's assistance, Crystal secures accommodation. When Pierce encounters Crystal at the house, Ebony initially hesitates to inform him but ultimately reveals both Crystal’s circumstances and the financial support provided. She explains that she initially viewed Pierce as a means to improve her life but developed genuine feelings and feared losing him if he learned about her family situation.

Pierce presents Ebony with an agreement requiring her to commit to their marriage without seeking financial gain or accept $250,000 to end their relationship. Ebony signs the agreement but becomes uneasy about Chloe and Pierce’s friendship. She confronts Chloe regarding any feelings for Pierce; Chloe denies romantic interest. After witnessing an embrace between Pierce and Chloe, Ebony accepts the cheque and departs from town.

Harlow Robinson

Harlow Robinson, played by Jemma Donovan, first appeared on 15 July 2019. Donovan’s casting was announced on 26 March 2019 through the show’s social media channels. She expressed pride in joining a series cherished by multiple generations. Donovan is the daughter of Jason Donovan, who portrayed Harlow's great-uncle Scott Robinson, and granddaughter of Terence Donovan, known for playing Doug Willis. Executive producer Jason Herbison praised Donovan's audition and described her familial connection as an unexpected bonus. The character was tailored specifically for Donovan, with Harlow’s storyline reflecting Donovan's own experience relocating from the UK to Australia.

Harlow belongs to the longstanding Robinson family, introduced in 1985. It was confirmed that she is the daughter of Robert Robinson (Adam Hunter). Paul and his son David Tanaka (Takaya Honda) encounter Harlow at the prison where Robert is incarcerated; although she misses meeting her father, David invites her to Erinsborough. Tina Burke of TV Week characterized Harlow as "quick-witted and complex," while Donovan emphasized her character’s determined personality and active role.

On 17 May 2022, it was announced that Donovan had completed filming and that Harlow would be written out ahead of the show's finale in August 2022.

Mackenzie Hargreaves

Mackenzie Hargreaves, brought to life by Georgie Stone, made her first appearance on 30 August 2019 as the program’s inaugural transgender character and marked the second occasion an openly transgender actress portrayed a trans role on Australian television. The concept for Mackenzie originated from Stone herself, who pitched the idea to executive producer Jason Herbison in 2018. After successfully auditioning, Stone worked closely with the production team over eight months to infuse the character’s narrative with genuine elements drawn from her personal journey. Mackenzie’s storyline explores themes such as self-disclosure, interpersonal relationships, and experiences of bullying. Stone expressed excitement about joining Neighbours to present stories that resonate with modern audiences and mirror societal realities.

Scarlett Brady

Scarlett Brady, enacted by Christie Whelan Browne, first appeared on screen on 9 September 2019. Announced earlier that year in June, Scarlett is depicted as a multifaceted woman harboring a troubled history and concealed motives. She arrives in Erinsborough seeking retribution against Ned Willis (Ben Hall), utilizing her background in hospitality to secure employment at Lassiters Hotel. Scarlett’s manipulative tactics involve undermining Ned’s romantic relationships and orchestrating events designed to win his confidence, which ultimately lead to violent encounters and her subsequent arrest.

Whelan Browne returned to portray Scarlett in September 2020 when the character reemerged with intentions of further revenge against Ned, intensifying existing conflicts. Despite being five weeks pregnant during filming amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Whelan Browne noted that the production environment was supportive throughout.

Scarlett’s plotline delves into psychological manipulation, false victimhood claims, and efforts to implicate Ned in her own murder following a series of escalating disputes. She uses Ned’s art exhibition venue as a hideout and retaliates against his allies by sabotaging vehicles, causing unintended injuries. A contrived wedding event serves as a trap to apprehend Scarlett, during which she attempts an acid attack but is intercepted and hospitalized. Ultimately, she admits to framing Ned.

The trajectory of Scarlett’s character underscores themes of vengeance impacting professional spheres such as hospitality and the arts within the show’s broader narrative context.

Hendrix Greyson

Hendrix Greyson, portrayed by Ben Turland, was introduced on 13 September 2019. Publicly announced on 1 September, Hendrix appears as the estranged son of Pierce Greyson (Tim Robards). Having been expelled from boarding school, he arrives in Erinsborough during Pierce’s efforts to reconcile with Chloe Brennan (April Rose Pengilly). Pierce acknowledges his limited role in Hendrix’s upbringing, which contributes to tension with his "suave" son who subsequently makes romantic advances toward Chloe. Matthew Myers of DNA described Hendrix as a "wealthy spoiled brat," while Turland explained that Hendrix’s problematic behavior stems from the absence of a father figure—a portrayal that initially drew criticism from viewers. On 3 June 2022, Hendrix’s character was written out following complications related to a lung transplant—a storyline developed prior to the series cancellation and conclusion of Turland’s contract.

Prudence Wallace

Prudence "Prue" Wallace, portrayed by Denise van Outen, made her debut on 20 September 2019. Her casting was revealed on 12 June 2019. Van Outen initially filmed scenes in London alongside Stefan Dennis (Paul Robinson) and Rebekah Elmaloglou (Terese Willis) before moving to the Melbourne production studios. Prue is introduced as the mysterious mother of Harlow Robinson (Jemma Donovan), who had appeared earlier that year. Van Outen described the character as playful and enjoyable to play. Prue is unveiled as a member of the Restoration Order cult, which creates conflict with Harlow’s guardians, Paul and Terese, during their meeting in London. After a short absence, Van Outen returned in March 2020; Prue’s storyline concluded with her death in a bomb blast broadcast on 18 March.

Her narrative explored disapproval of Harlow’s living situation amid controversy, efforts to rebuild her relationship with her daughter, and financial difficulties linked to the Restoration Order’s fees. Prue forms a friendship with Gary Canning (Damien Richardson), leading to an engagement that surprises both their families. However, it emerges that Prue had not left the cult but was expelled due to unpaid dues. Upon learning this, Gary ends their engagement. Prue meets her demise instantly when she opens a package intended for their honeymoon destination, which contains a bomb planted by Finn Kelly (Rob Mills).

Prue’s storyline emphasized intricate family relationships complicated by cult involvement, monetary challenges, and a dramatic exit—elements that significantly influenced major plotlines and captivated viewers.

Graham Isheev

Graham Isheev, enacted by Richard Arnold, appeared on screen starting 20 September 2019. Arnold’s casting was announced simultaneously with that of Denise van Outen as Prue Wallace. His role was limited to a single guest appearance filmed in London. Arnold described joining Neighbours as an unexpected twist in his career path. Graham is portrayed as having a manipulative hold over Prue and was labeled by Simon Timblick of What's on TV as "a dubious figure."

Within the plot, Graham watches as Prue meets with her daughter’s grandfather, Paul Robinson, and his wife Terese Willis. He advises Prue that it is time to relinquish control over Harlow, hinting at a controlling motive.

Grant Hargreaves

Grant Hargreaves, played by Paul Mercurio, first appeared on 8 October 2019. His casting was confirmed on 29 September. Grant is the estranged father of Mackenzie Hargreaves (Georgie Stone). His friend Shane Rebecchi had been searching for him to help mend Grant's relationship with Mackenzie. Initially unaware of Mackenzie’s gender transition, Grant mistakenly uses her former name but later accepts her identity and aims to rebuild their bond. Mercurio reprised this role in June 2022 for Mackenzie’s wedding to Hendrix Greyson.

Grant arrives in Erinsborough after being contacted by Shane, meeting Shane’s wife Dipi Rebecchi and Mackenzie herself. Despite early errors such as calling Mackenzie Michael, Grant expresses remorse for his previous absence and lack of understanding. Although invited to attend the Be You Ball father-daughter dance, he ultimately declines due to discomfort with the event’s nature and leaves town.

Several months later, following a workplace injury that causes financial hardship, Shane offers assistance and encourages Grant’s return to Erinsborough. Grant apologizes to Mackenzie for his prior neglect and expresses a wish to reconnect fully. He seeks legal counsel from Toadfish Rebecchi regarding a WorkSafe claim and participates in community events, publicly acknowledging Mackenzie as his daughter. Grant reveals he has two more children from another relationship but had been ashamed to admit Mackenzie’s existence. He invites Mackenzie to meet her half-siblings.

Two years on, Grant returns for Mackenzie’s wedding, walking her down the aisle and engaging in conflict with groom Hendrix's father Pierce Greyson. Following the wedding and Hendrix’s sudden passing, Grant offers support but departs after a dispute over his protective stance toward Mackenzie’s grieving process.

Kane Jones

Kane Jones, brought to life by Barry Conrad, made his first appearance on 15 November 2019. His character was introduced amid a plotline where Ned Willis (Ben Hall) joined an illicit fight club as a means to cope with his PTSD. Kane later re-emerged to oversee unlawful blackjack games involving Hendrix Greyson (Benny Turland). Conrad expressed excitement about returning to the role, highlighting Kane’s surprising comeback following a prison sentence.

Conrad revealed that Kane had been released early due to good behavior and anticipated unveiling deeper aspects of his personality. As Hendrix falls into considerable debt, Kane resorts to intimidation tactics for repayment. When questioned about the possibility of Kane resorting to murder, Conrad dismissed the idea, describing Kane as serious but not excessively violent. He also showed interest in delving into Kane’s history to provide insight into his multifaceted and nuanced character beyond his role as an enforcer.

Kane’s initial appearance is at The Shed gym, where he invites Ned to participate in an underground fight club. After Ned defeats Kane in a match, he ceases attendance following interventions by Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson) and police action initiated by Yashvi Rebecchi (Olivia Junkeer). In retaliation, Kane contaminates Yashvi’s drink with broken glass but is soon discovered and apprehended. While incarcerated, Ned consults Kane about threats from dangerous individuals connected to the fight club; Kane advises Ned that he is safer inside prison.

Several months post-parole, Kane resurfaces in Erinsborough managing illegal blackjack games at Lassiters Hotel. Hendrix initially experiences wins but quickly accumulates heavy losses as Kane encourages high-risk wagers. Due to complaints, the games relocate to Hendrix’s former Ramsay Street residence. Kane pressures Hendrix over a $10,000 debt, demanding repayment with exorbitant interest and threatening him with a bullet. Hendrix offers a diamond necklace covering half the debt; ultimately, he forfeits his house to Kane.

Upon learning of Nicolette Stone’s (Charlotte Chimes) financial needs, Kane invites her to participate in the gambling events. Increasingly severe threats lead Hendrix to arm himself for protection. When Hendrix reveals that his stepmother intends to report the illegal games, Kane attempts to force Hendrix into signing over the house deed but is interrupted by Chloe Brennan (April Rose Pengilly), who warns of impending police arrival. Kane is taken into custody by Yashvi and her partner and questioned regarding the kidnapping of Hendrix’s ex-girlfriend Harlow Robinson (Jemma Donovan), though he is later cleared due to an alibi.
