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 Rebecchi and Toadfish Rebecchi. Anderson was merely four weeks old when she debuted. Sonya's pregnancy storyline paralleled that of another character, allowing the actresses to share similar experiences. Sonya initially chooses a home birth, but complications necessitate a caesarean delivery. Early plots involving Nell include her naming day celebration and events emphasizing her dependence on digital devices, which eventually lead to a tech detox.
Following the separation of Sonya and Toadie, Nell primarily resides with Sonya while maintaining contact with Toadie. She encounters difficulties such as accidentally ingesting medication, requiring hospital care. Toadie later moves back into the household, and Nell is introduced to her half-brother Hugo Somers. After Sonya is diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer and subsequently passes away, Toadie assumes the role of sole caregiver.
Nell's character arc explores her adjustment to family shifts, including the departure of her uncle and aunt, as well as navigating complicated relationships around her—such as confusion regarding Amy Greenwood’s romantic life. She forms a close bond with Melanie Pearson, who supports preserving Sonya’s memory after her passing.
In 2023, Salem-Towner took over portraying Nell as the timeline advanced two years beyond the series finale. Nell’s return brings greater focus in storylines, featuring resistance to Toadie’s marriage to Terese Willis and interactions within Melanie Pearson’s social circle. A notable storyline involves Nell being kidnapped after visiting Melanie’s residence but subsequently rescued and brought back to Ramsay Street.

Rosenow commented on the process: "It was very exciting. I auditioned, made it to the shortlist, had a callback, then learned I got the part." Amber is the sole daughter of Matt (Josef Brown) and Lauren Turner (Kate Kendall). Kendall described Amber as "a typical teenage girl," while Rosenow referred to her as "an ordinary 17-year-old." Rosenow further noted that Amber is somewhat naive and conceals a secret from her family. An online spin-off titled Amber's Blog showcases Amber chronicling her family’s relocation from Mount Isa to Erinsborough.

Mackenzie had previously appeared in Neighbours playing Thomas McPhee. After successfully auditioning, he was initially signed for a four-year contract. Mackenzie expressed enthusiasm about joining a show with such longevity: "Being part of something that's been running since before I was born and holds such cultural significance is truly incredible." Bailey is the youngest son of Matt Turner (Josef Brown) and Lauren Carpenter (Kate Kendall). Kendall described him as "intelligent." The official show website portrays Bailey as "cheeky, unconventional, and curious," a self-proclaimed nerd offering a distinctive viewpoint.

The family moves from Mount Isa to Erinsborough, where Matt takes on the position of police sergeant. Brown described the Turners as "a wonderful family" with hidden complexities and dramatic elements.
Robbo Slade
Robert Alan "Robbo" Slade, played by Aaron Jakubenko, was introduced on 15 February 2013. Jakubenko had previously appeared in the series as two different characters. Robbo, a friend of Mason Turner from Mount Isa, becomes involved in a botched factory robbery that results in Mason’s arrest by Matt Turner. Robbo later breaks into the Turner household and deceives Mason about his arrival in Erinsborough. It emerges that he is secretly dating Amber Turner.
Known as the "bad boy of Mt Isa," Robbo’s charismatic exterior conceals a manipulative personality. He convinces Mason to participate in another attempted robbery at Lassiter’s, which fails due to increased security measures. After being spotted by Sonya Mitchell, Robbo escapes but returns months later, stirring more conflict. He is arrested but released on bail by his mother. Robbo intimidates members of the Turner family and others, including Sonya and Amber’s date, Clay Blair.
Paul Robinson exploits Robbo’s gambling debts through a rigged poker game, offering to clear them if Robbo relinquishes Mason’s financial claim. Robbo blackmails Mason with video evidence of his encounter with Amber and organizes poker games that entangle others in debt. His threats escalate, culminating in him spiking a drink intended for Sonya but consumed instead by Toadfish Rebecchi.
Robbo’s narrative ends following a hit-and-run accident that leaves him hospitalized. Upon regaining consciousness, he attempts to disclose information about Mason before suffering cardiac arrest and dying. Hudson Walsh later admits responsibility for the incident leading to Robbo’s death.
Mason Turner
Mason Turner, portrayed by Taylor Glockner, debuted on 22 February 2013. His casting was confirmed on 4 November 2012, with Glockner having filmed for approximately five to six weeks before the December production hiatus. Mason is the eldest child of Lauren Carpenter (Kate Kendall) and Matt Turner (Josef Brown). Characterized as "smouldering" and "rebellious," Mason is a "bad boy" with a kind heart who often makes poor choices for noble reasons. He has a strained relationship with his father and frequently teases his sister Amber (Jenna Rosenow). Mason arrives in Erinsborough after serving juvenile detention time for a robbery conviction in which he was wrongfully implicated. Upon arrival, he persistently pursues Kate Ramsay (Ashleigh Brewer).
Rhiannon Bates
Rhiannon Bates, portrayed by Teressa Liane, first appeared on 8 April 2013. To embody Rhiannon’s distinctive persona, Liane transformed her appearance by dyeing her blonde hair brunette and adopting bold makeup styles. Rhiannon is Mason Turner's ex-girlfriend from Mount Isa, described as outgoing and unforgettable. She arrives in Erinsborough aiming to reconnect with Mason, generating tension as he develops feelings for Kate Ramsay.
Rhiannon discloses that she left her son Jackson in the care of her sister and moves into Number 26 Ramsay Street after Mason refuses to return to Mount Isa with her. She admits sending a threatening letter to Matt Turner because of his treatment toward Mason. Facing financial difficulties, Rhiannon takes Sheila Canning’s advice to revamp her image and seduces Paul Robinson, leveraging this relationship for employment opportunities despite discomfort over his associates’ intentions. She eventually decides to return to Mount Isa but later comes back to support Matt in a corruption investigation involving Paul.
Bringing her son Jackson to Erinsborough, Rhiannon stays with Karl and Susan Kennedy at Number 28. She seeks a casual relationship with Mason and accepts a cleaning position at Lassiter’s after being deemed unsuitable for front desk work due to language barriers. Susan assists her in improving communication skills. After Mason declines her request to move in, Rhiannon departs for a job at Lassiter’s in Darwin.
Critics compared Rhiannon to a bold and provocative figure reminiscent of the McQueen family from British soap Hollyoaks. Her makeover and assertive demeanor attracted attention and elicited mixed responses both within the show’s storyline and among viewers.
Jayden Warley
Jayden Warley, brought to life by Khan Oxenham, made his first appearance on 6 May 2013. Oxenham’s casting was revealed in February 2013, with subsequent returns to the character in 2015 and 2018. The actor found the role demanding yet rewarding, highlighting similarities such as occasional lack of enthusiasm for certain subjects. Jayden’s narrative arcs predominantly explore themes of bullying, interpersonal conflict, and internal challenges.
Jayden engages in bullying behavior towards Bailey Turner, which escalates into physical fights and manipulative tactics to evade suspension. He purchases a skateboard from Josh Willis but sustains injuries attempting stunts, prompting his mother Sue Parker to contemplate legal action. Upon discovering Paul Robinson’s plan to hold a press conference at Sonya’s Nursery, Jayden vandalizes the property; Paul then forces a confession and negotiates with Sue to prevent formal charges.
Due to Jayden’s persistent bullying, Brad Willis intervenes, encouraging him to redirect his anger through playing football. The relationship between Jayden and Bailey oscillates between hostility and friendship, including episodes involving alcohol consumption and property damage. Jayden tries to blackmail Paige Smith after noticing suspicious conduct but is outwitted when she retaliates with her own blackmail.
After a fire breaks out at school, Jayden becomes a suspect when his fingerprints are found on a jerry can; he admits attempting to implicate Stephanie Scully, believing he accidentally caused the fire by smoking in the principal’s office.
Three years later, Jayden faces difficulties securing employment but lands a trial position at Amy Williams’ construction yard. Despite underperformance and workplace conflicts, Amy offers him an apprenticeship. Following an incident where falling concrete slabs—caused by loosened ratchet straps ordered by Sue—lead to an accident, both Jayden and his mother undergo police questioning and receive six-month prison sentences.

Elmaloglou relocated her family to Melbourne for filming purposes and requested a change in the pronunciation of Terese’s name prior to production. Terese is introduced as the second wife of Brad Willis (Kip Gamblin), joining their teenage twins Josh (Harley Bonner) and Imogen (Ariel Kaplan). Elmaloglou described Terese as highly organized and someone she could easily befriend.

Within the family, Imogen often feels eclipsed by Joshua’s swimming pursuits; their sibling relationship is marked by both rivalry and affection.
Josh Willis
Joshua "Josh" Willis, portrayed by Harley Bonner, first appeared on 20 May 2013. His casting was announced on 7 February 2013, with confirmation following on 18 February. Encouraged by his agent to audition, Bonner admitted initial nervousness as he and his on-screen family quickly developed their dynamic. Josh is the teenage son of Brad and Terese Willis. Bonner described Josh as ambitious and determined, maintaining a complex bond with his twin sister Imogen. As an elite swimmer, the role required Bonner to undergo extensive pool training during filming.
Walter Mitchell
Walter Mitchell, also referred to as Dave, is portrayed by Chris Haywood and made his debut on 17 June 2013. His introduction was announced on 5 June, with Haywood’s casting confirmed on 14 June. Walter is revealed as the uncle of Sonya Mitchell, previously believed by her to be deceased. Initially, he watches Sonya from afar before eventually disclosing his identity and attempting to rebuild a relationship with her and her children.
Upon arriving in Erinsborough, Walter engages with the community, frequenting locations such as Charlie's bar and participating in local gatherings. Despite efforts to assimilate, he displays problematic conduct, including theft and alcohol dependency, which Sonya uncovers after reaching out to her aunt. Encouraged to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, Walter’s instability persists, culminating in stealing funds from a nursery and planning an exit from the town. After returning the stolen money and confessing that he is actually Dave—having exchanged identities with the real Walter Mitchell while at a halfway house—he leaves following a brief interaction with Sheila Canning.
This narrative explores themes of trust and redemption within the community context, showcasing intricate character progression linked to personal struggles.
Hudson Walsh
Hudson Walsh, played by Remy Hii, first appeared on 28 June 2013. His casting was announced on 12 June 2013, shortly after Hii began filming. At that time unemployed and residing in Melbourne, Hii secured the role soon after auditioning. He described the cast as friendly and expressed excitement about his recurring guest role, with intentions to return for additional episodes.
Introduced as a romantic interest for established character Chris Pappas (James Mason), Hudson is a competitive swimmer known for his sensitivity and determination. Initially focused on becoming a champion athlete, his ambitions broaden after relocating to Erinsborough. He also develops a rivalry with Joshua Willis (Harley Bonner), sharing elite swimmer status but displaying greater self-assurance due to early recognition of his abilities.
Hudson’s storyline addresses issues surrounding performance-enhancing drugs, leading Chris to intervene and resulting in Hudson ending his association with coach Don Cotter (John Adam). Upon returning from Sydney, Hudson faces challenges securing a new coach amid hostility from Josh but eventually joins training under Brad Willis (Kip Gamblin). Despite initial threats to withdraw sponsorship over Hudson’s drug history, Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) ultimately supports him financially.
Involved in a blackmail plot involving Mason Turner and others, Hudson becomes entangled in complications following the death of antagonist Robbo Slade. Hudson admits responsibility for Robbo’s hit-and-run incident; although intended only to intimidate, it tragically resulted in Robbo’s death. He is subsequently charged and sentenced to four years imprisonment. Throughout this period, Hudson’s relationship with Chris faces difficulties including communication breakdowns and trust issues. Their relationship ends when Hudson suspects Chris of cheating; despite Chris denying the accusations, they part ways under uncertain circumstances.
Marty Kranic
Marty Kranic, brought to life by Darius Perkins, made his first appearance on 29 July 2013. Perkins, who had previously portrayed Scott Robinson back in 1985, was initially signed for a one-month stint. Marty is characterized as a "shady associate" connected to Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis), possessing a knack for handling tricky situations. Perkins commented that this role allowed him to delve into a darker persona than his earlier performances.
Paul invites Marty to join a poker game to utilize his expertise as a skilled card player. Marty’s mission includes keeping an eye on Robbo Slade (Aaron Jakubenko) and uncovering any leverage against him. Since direct access to Robbo’s poker games proves difficult, Marty attempts to gather information through regular participants and recruits Lucas Fitzgerald (Scott Major) to assist. After Robbo dies in a hit-and-run incident, Lucas informs the police that Marty had accused Robbo of cheating using marked cards. Marty denies any involvement in the accident but cautions Paul against implicating him, threatening consequences if he does.
When questioned by the police, Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou) identifies Marty, who then falsely accuses Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) of being responsible for the hit-and-run. Several months later, Marty reappears with an attempt to blackmail Paul, now campaigning for mayor. He approaches Paul's rival, Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher), offering damaging details about Paul that could influence the election outcome; however, Karl declines the offer.
Josie Lamb
Josie Lamb, portrayed by Madison Daniel, first appeared on 12 August 2013. Daniel had previously guest-starred in Neighbours as Claudia Howard in 2012 and was initially signed for a recurring role spanning ten months. She returned to filming in 2016, with Josie making a comeback from February 2017 onward.
Introduced as a self-assured student and friend of Callum Jones, Josie developed romantic feelings for Callum. Upon discovering his interest in Imogen Willis, she began altering her appearance through strict dieting and exercise in an effort to resemble Imogen. This storyline explored various facets of eating disorders by highlighting Josie's struggles. Her efforts culminated during a local fun run where she collapsed due to dehydration and malnutrition. Her recovery involved both medical treatment and addressing psychological issues related to body image.
Josie experienced bullying at school because of her intellect, looks, and having two mothers. She formed a connection with Callum through an online game and gave him a birthday present, which initially caused friction but ultimately strengthened their bond. Josie’s mother Ellen serves as the lead detective investigating a hit-and-run involving Callum's father, adding complexity to their relationship. Josie's attempts to attract Callum's attention by changing her appearance and increasing her workout regimen raised concerns from Callum's mother, Sonya Mitchell.
After collapsing during the fun run and being hospitalized for malnutrition, Josie admitted to skipping meals and overexercising to impress Callum. Following conversations about eating disorders with Imogen, Josie attended the school dance where she and Callum started dating. Their relationship faced obstacles but included meaningful moments such as exchanging Valentine's Day gifts and professing their love for each other. Josie supported Callum when he departed for a scholarship opportunity in the United States.
While studying at university, Josie's parents Ellen and Victoria separated. Upon returning home, Josie discovered Victoria’s feelings for Stephanie Scully and warned Steph to keep her distance as family tensions intensified. After several confrontations involving Steph and an intervention order filed by Josie—which was later revealed to have been orchestrated by Ellen—the order was eventually withdrawn.
Alek Pocoli
Alek Pocoli, brought to life by Damian De Montemas, made his first appearance on 9 September 2013. The announcement of De Montemas's casting came on 30 August 2013.

Alek is the former husband of established character Vanessa Villante (Alin Sumarwata), from whom he is estranged. His arrival in Erinsborough brings a disruptive revelation that unsettles Vanessa and her fiancé, Lucas Fitzgerald (Scott Major). Alek’s lighthearted demeanor sharply contrasts with Lucas’s annoyance.
Tracking Vanessa down at Harold's Store, Alek reveals he never completed their annulment, leaving their marriage legally intact. He states that avoiding annulment was a way to protect his family’s reputation and expresses remorse over their past relationship. Alek proposes $100,000 to Vanessa in exchange for waiving any claims to his assets, demonstrating his increased wealth since their union. Vanessa agrees, and they finalize the annulment. Before leaving to reunite with his fiancée, Alek recalls a hotel they once stayed at in Tirana, Albania, marking their poignant goodbye.
Gemma Reeves
Gemma "Gem" Reeves, portrayed by Kathryn Beck, debuted on 7 October 2013. Beck’s casting was revealed in September 2013 after the character had already been mentioned in dialogue. Beck described Gem as someone who pushes limits and is unpredictable, qualities that heighten dramatic conflict. Gem is related as a cousin to established characters Georgia Brooks (Saskia Hampele) and Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney). She arrives in Erinsborough intending to reconnect with Georgia, whom she greatly admires. Georgia warmly welcomes Gem and convinces her to move into Toadie’s residence, setting up future tensions. A TV Week journalist referred to Gem as a "hottie" and "blonde bombshell," highlighting her strong presence in the narrative.

Eric is involved in a legal matter as a client of local lawyer Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney).
Eric alleges he sustained a back injury caused by a malfunctioning gym machine; however, Brad Willis (Kip Gamblin) points out that an "out of order" sign had been removed. Eric hires Toadfish to pursue legal action against the gym but later withdraws after it is revealed the injury resulted from a skiing accident. Toadfish contemplates legal steps against the ski instructor but discovers Eric was intoxicated at the time and had been dishonest about the circumstances. Subsequently, Eric files a negligence lawsuit against Toadfish after learning that Brad's daughter, Imogen (Ariel Kaplan), was employed at the law firm during his case.
When Eric’s wife, Mandy (Emelia Burns), becomes aware of the lawsuit, she leaves with their daughter. Toadfish and his wife Sonya (Eve Morey) invite Eric and Mandy to lunch, where rising tensions prompt them to reconsider their marriage. Eventually, Eric drops the lawsuit and reconciles with Mandy, who returns home.
Jacob Holmes
Jacob Holmes, played by Clayton Watson, made his first appearance on 28 November 2013 as a widowed father facing hardships. His introduction came through his interaction with Sonya Rebecchi (Eve Morey), connected via her parenting blog. After a near accident involving his son Elliott's pram at Lassiter’s Lake, Jacob entrusts Elliott temporarily to Sonya, relying on her support while managing his grief.
Sonya offers Jacob employment constructing a juice bar at her childcare center, which sparks the possibility of romance between them. This briefly develops when Jacob kisses Sonya, but he quickly regrets the action and apologizes. Tensions escalate when Sonya’s husband, Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney), contacts the parents of Jacob’s deceased wife Hannah, who dispute Jacob’s custodial rights over Elliott.
Despite strained relations due to allegations about leaked confidential information, Toadie aids Jacob during custody negotiations. Sonya motivates Jacob to stand firm in retaining custody of his son instead of relinquishing it. Though Jacob confesses his affection for Sonya, she declines, leading him to decide on relocating to Adelaide to be nearer to his in-laws.
