Home and Away is an Australian soap opera that premiered on the Seven Network on 17 January 1988. Below is a list of characters introduced in 2022, arranged by their debut dates, all under the guidance of executive producer Lucy Addario. The show's 35th season commenced broadcasting on 31 January 2022. Notable introductions include Xander Delaney appearing in late March, followed by his sister Rose Delaney in early April, and PK at April's end. Members of the Lyrik band—Bob Forsyth, Kirby Aramoana, Remi Carter, and Eden Fowler—made their first appearances in July. August saw the arrival of Bree Cameron and Heather Frazer, with Gary Morrow introduced in October.

Xander Delaney

Xander Delaney, portrayed by Luke Van Os, made his first appearance on 31 March 2022. The casting announcement was made public on 21 October 2021. Van Os, who is a cousin of former cast member Chris Hemsworth, moved to Sydney immediately after securing the role to begin filming. This character marked Van Os's first major role, with aspirations for a sustained career following in the show's footsteps.

Described as "an enigmatic figure arriving in the Bay seeking answers," Xander is revealed to be connected to established character Jasmine Delaney (Sam Frost) and newcomer Rose Delaney (Kirsty Marillier). The siblings were previously unaware of Jasmine until their father's passing triggered a will that named Jasmine as a beneficiary. Xander's arrival centers on uncovering this family link and delivering Jasmine’s inheritance. Initially, Jasmine is suspicious of Xander and Rose, suspecting deceit, which causes tension during their early encounters.

The character exited the series on 6 November 2024, amid off-screen rumors fueled by Van Os's social media posts and his absence from filming locations. Within the storyline, Xander departs for a six-week internship in Melbourne, with his final scenes involving Rose and his girlfriend Dana Matheson (Ally Harris). His permanent departure was confirmed in February 2025 when he informs Rose of securing a position as an events manager in Melbourne and invites Dana to join him, confirming he will not return to the Bay.

Rose Delaney

Rose Delaney, portrayed by Kirsty Marillier, debuted on 4 April 2022. Marillier’s casting was announced on 15 November 2021, with filming already underway at that time. She had previously appeared briefly in the series in 2018 as a guest role. Joining the main cast represented a significant career milestone for Marillier, who regarded it as a major opportunity within an iconic Australian show.

Rose is introduced as a sibling to Jasmine Delaney and newcomer Xander Delaney, sharing the same mother but having different fathers. They come to Summer Bay to fulfill their late father’s will and deliver Jasmine’s inheritance. As a police officer, Rose develops romantic feelings for colleague Cash Newman and eventually joins the local police force.

In August 2023, Rose’s biological father, Samuel Edwards, was introduced following her quest to learn more about her origins. Marillier filmed her concluding scenes in late 2024, with Rose’s exit airing on 19 March 2025 when she accepts a detective position in the city.

PK

Peter "PK" King, played by Ryan Johnson, made his first appearance on 28 April 2022. Johnson, previously known for his role as Paulie Rosetta in Home and Away, described PK as "somewhat of a sociopath" who enjoys creating turmoil and manipulating those around him. As an affluent poker enthusiast, PK leverages his wealth to gain access to events organized by Mackenzie Booth (Emily Weir). Johnson found portraying this antagonistic figure a refreshing departure from his earlier roles and noted that the storyline explored the dangers and repercussions associated with gambling.

PK is brought into Mackenzie's circle through Nathan Silva (Ryan Panizza), who vouches for him despite initial doubts. PK arranges to participate in exclusive poker games requiring significant buy-ins and suggests hosting a $5,000 buy-in tournament at Salt, deliberately excluding Felicity Newman (Jacqui Purvis) because of her brother’s involvement in law enforcement. After a substantial win, PK informs Mac that the House is indebted by $100,000 and offers to cover this amount with an unspoken expectation of repayment through personal favors. When Mac declines his advances, she uncovers that PK has deceived her since the House cannot actually lose.

In an effort to recover her losses, Mac proposes another VIP poker night where she would hand over the buy-in earnings to PK; however, he insists on receiving all the proceeds. Subsequently, PK sends accomplices to Salt to steal money and vandalize the establishment, which leads to Tane Parata (Ethan Browne) being stabbed. When Mac confronts PK about the harm caused, she discovers that Nathan was behind the intimidation tactics. Dean Thompson (Patrick O'Conner) threatens PK, who retaliates by sending Dean a menacing photo of his son. Dean then assaults PK at the Surf Club and later orchestrates PK’s abduction.

PK’s body is discovered on the beach bearing fatal blunt force injuries. The police interrogate all parties involved. Nathan tries to implicate Dean in the murder but eventually confesses that he killed PK to protect Mac.

Bob Forsyth

Bob Forsyth, portrayed by Rob Mallet, appeared for the first time on 4 July 2022. Announced on 29 June 2022, Bob is a member of the fictional band Lyrik, introduced following four cast departures during 2022. Mallet described joining Home and Away as a "bucket list" accomplishment and commended the production team. According to Digital Spy’s Sam Warner, Bob harbors ambitious goals for Lyrik and maintains a "turbulent relationship" with fellow band member Kirby Aramoana (Angelina Thomson). Mallet depicted Bob as someone driven by desires for "fame, glory, and artistic integrity." Two weeks after Lyrik’s debut, Bob leaves out of frustration with performing in small-town pubs; before departing Summer Bay, he attempts to persuade Kirby to join him in forming a new band.

Kirby Aramoana

Kirby Aramoana, enacted by Angelina Thomson, also made her debut on 4 July 2022. Announced alongside other members of Lyrik, Thomson’s musical background enriched her portrayal of Kirby. She described her character as "wild, passionate, playful, creative," yet simultaneously calm and affectionate. Kirby shares a "rocky relationship" with Bob Forsyth. Following Bob’s exit, Lyrik brings in new lead singer Theo Poulos (Matt Evans), a transition Thomson described as both "stressful" and unexpected. Theo becomes Kirby’s romantic interest due to their mutual passion for music, leading to a romantic involvement. Kirby departed from the series in July 2025; Thomson was seen filming her final scenes in January 2025 before moving on to perform in a stage production at the Sydney Opera House. Co-star Stephanie Panozzo, who portrays bandmate Eden Fowler, paid tribute to Thomson after her departure, emphasizing their strong friendship both on-screen and off.

Remi Carter

Remi Carter, brought to life by Adam Rowland, made his first appearance on 4 July 2022. Announced on 29 June 2022, Remi is one of four new members forming the fictional group Lyrik, introduced following the exit of four cast members in 2022. At the time of casting, Rowland was employed at a bar and moved to Sydney just three days later to begin filming. He describes Remi as "the classic Australian larrikin," someone who enjoys having fun and causing a bit of mischief but remains deeply devoted to his friends and family. Remi shares a close, playful friendship with fellow bandmate Eden Fowler.

Eden Fowler

Eden Fowler, portrayed by Stephanie Panozzo, also debuted on 4 July 2022. Her casting was revealed on 29 June 2022 after she auditioned remotely via Zoom due to COVID-19 restrictions. A long-time fan of the show, Panozzo called securing the role "a dream come true." Eden is depicted as a fiery, spirited character with fierce loyalty toward her music, friends, and family. She maintains a close bond with Remi Carter, characterized by their mutual teasing. The narrative also unveiled a previous romantic relationship between Eden and Cash Newman (Nicholas Cartwright). In 2023, Eden's estranged brother Levi Fowler (Tristan Gorey) was introduced, shedding light on familial conflicts originating from their parents’ divorce.

Bree Cameron

Bree Cameron, played by Juliet Godwin, first appeared on 9 August 2022. Godwin was spotted filming at the show's Palm Beach set in March 2022, with her casting officially announced in July that year. She described landing the role as "a dream come true" and expressed appreciation for collaborating with talented colleagues in a nurturing setting.

Bree arrives as Summer Bay’s newest doctor, taking over leadership of the hospital’s emergency department following Logan Bennett’s departure. Godwin described Bree as someone "ready for a fresh start," embodying a "heart of gold" alongside a "surfer chick" persona. While Bree presents herself as relaxed, kindhearted, and compassionate, she harbors hidden secrets that gradually unfold. Her initial storyline involved providing medical care to Constable Cash Newman after he was shot.

Heather Frazer

Heather Frazer, enacted by Sofia Nolan, made her debut on 24 August 2022. Nolan landed the role through her agent and was attracted by Heather’s "vivacious personality" and intriguing storyline. Heather arrives in Summer Bay seeking assistance from Roo Stewart with a law school application but raises suspicion when she is seen photographing Marilyn Chambers. Nolan described Heather as "a formidable presence," whose confidence is shaped by an "unfortunate" upbringing and a dedication to family law aimed at supporting others enduring similar hardships.

Heather is eventually revealed to be Marilyn’s daughter, whom Marilyn had given up for adoption. She meets Roo at the Pier Diner to collaborate on a TAFE application and shares her background—working as a housekeeper, engaging in an affair with a married man, and losing her child to the couple she served. Heather’s driving force is helping mothers separated from their children.

The plot intensifies when Heather takes Marilyn, Alf, Leah, Irene, and Roo hostage at her former boarding school, compelling Marilyn to admit Heather’s parentage. Seeking vengeance for her traumatic history, Heather’s actions lead to a confrontation where she falls from a roof but survives the fall. Hospitalized and restrained with handcuffs, Heather faces imprisonment; Marilyn apologizes yet cuts ties due to an inability to support her daughter. Later, Heather is declared unfit for trial and committed to psychiatric care.

Gary Morrow

Gary Morrow, played by Peter Phelps, made his first appearance on 31 October 2022. Phelps, who had previously guest-starred as Alan Henderson in 2012 and directed multiple episodes, shared his excitement about returning to the series both in front of and behind the camera. Gary enters the storyline as the foster father of siblings Cash Newman (Nicholas Cartwright) and Felicity Newman (Jacqui Purvis), arriving in Summer Bay just before Felicity’s wedding to Tane Parata (Ethan Browne). Cash is pleased by Gary’s arrival and encourages Felicity to reconnect with him despite their strained past and her feelings of guilt over how she treated him following their father's death. Gary is depicted as compassionate and quickly mends his relationship with Felicity.

Peter Phelps returned to portray Gary again on 22 August 2024 after Felicity’s passing. Audience reactions have been favorable, with critics highlighting Gary as a steady and supportive presence within the narrative. Reports confirm that Phelps was filming scenes in August 2024, which are anticipated to be broadcast in 2025.

Gary and his wife Katherine took Cash and Felicity into their care during their childhood years. His arrival at their home was unanticipated, aiming to reconnect with Felicity, though she initially rejects him due to unresolved issues. Cash acts as a mediator, arranging a meeting between them, hopeful that Felicity has moved beyond her resentment. Despite initial reluctance, Felicity and Gary rebuild their bond following her difficulties after a car accident. After Felicity’s death the following year, Gary provides support to Cash by attending the funeral held in their hometown and offering comfort to Cash's fiancée Eden amid a challenging breakup.
