Clint Hendry

Clint Hendry, played by Jason Wilder, made his first appearance on 21 January 2025. Introduced as a romantic interest for Jane Harris through online dating, Clint’s storyline explores the complications arising from a notable age difference, which creates friction with Jane’s son Byron Stone. Clint persistently pursues Jane, leading to several dates and obtaining cleaning positions at both Erinsborough High School and the Eirini Rising retirement community, where he becomes well-regarded by residents Vera Punt and Gino Esposito.

Their relationship encounters difficulties when Terese Willis, who owns Eirini Rising, uncovers complaints regarding sexual activity in an unoccupied apartment Clint shares with Jane. After cleaning supplies go missing, student Jasmine Stewart accuses Clint of theft, resulting in his termination. Additionally, following grievances from parents, Jane faces suspension due to an inappropriate relationship at work.

Throughout these challenges, Clint remains supportive of Jane and tries to mend her relationship with Terese. Jane offers to defend Clint’s character during a meeting with Lana Kline from the Department of Education. Meanwhile, Jane’s daughter Nicolette Stone investigates the missing supplies by ordering replacements online, discovering that Clint has been stealing to care for his ailing mother. Rejecting his justifications, Jane reports him to the authorities. Clint’s final episode aired on 27 February 2025; actor Wilder confirmed his exit soon after and spoke positively about collaborating with Annie Jones.

Taye Obasi

Taye Obasi, portrayed by Lakota Johnson, debuted on 23 January 2025. His casting was announced on 14 October 2024 via the official Neighbours Instagram account, with Johnson joining as a regular member of the cast. A publicist hinted that "Taye is certain to break some rules (and some hearts) on Ramsay Street." He is introduced as the younger half-brother of established character Remi Varga-Murphy (Naomi Rukavina), marked by a considerable age gap and a strained familial bond.

Taye’s arrival was highlighted in promotional materials for the 2025 story arcs, featuring scenes of him interacting with nephews JJ Varga-Murphy and Dex Varga-Murphy. Executive producer Jason Herbison revealed that Johnson initially auditioned for a different role but impressed producers enough that they created Taye specifically for him.

Within the narrative, Taye is discovered hiding in number 32's sunroom while stealing food intended for JJ and Dex. When neighbour Andrew Rodwell confronts him wielding a cricket bat, Taye manages to befriend fellow neighbour Max Ramsay (Ben Jackson) as he attempts to avoid detection. During JJ and Dex’s absence, Taye causes disruptions within the household, escalating tensions with Andrew. He organizes a party, introduces Dex to alcohol consumption, and reconnects with Remi upon her return. Additionally, he develops a supportive friendship with Fallon Morell (Kate Connick) as she navigates personal family challenges.

Fallon Morell

Fallon Morell, played by Kate Connick, made her first appearance on 3 February 2025 as a guest role. Announced on 28 October 2024, Fallon is presented as the younger half-sister of the established character Krista Sinclair and was brought up in the United States. Executive producer Jason Herbison highlighted that Fallon and Krista have contrasting backgrounds and distinct personalities. Fallon departed from the show on 2 April 2025.

Promotional images reveal Fallon’s arrival in Erinsborough, her encounter with Sebastian Metcalfe, and a visit to Krista's apartment at Lassiters. Although Krista is initially unsettled, she welcomes Fallon without suspecting any hidden intentions. Fallon secures a job at Yorokobi, the vineyard owned by Krista’s fiancé Leo Tanaka, where she develops a connection with Leo.

Further spoilers disclose Fallon’s tangled history with Sebastian: they were once engaged before he disappeared without explanation. During their engagement, Sebastian developed feelings for Krista, which led to his breakup with Fallon and severing communication. This leaves Fallon hurt and uncertain about Krista’s involvement in their split.

Fallon observes Sebastian kissing Krista and subsequently moves into Krista’s apartment. She encounters Sebastian again at Grease Monkeys, where he confesses his love for Krista. Befriended by Taye Obasi, Fallon spends time drinking at the Waterhole and participates in organizing Krista and Leo’s wedding festivities at Yorokobi winery. Despite her close working relationship with Leo, Fallon remains distant from Krista and suspects she is concealing secrets from Leo. Urged by Taye to leverage this information, Fallon pushes Krista to be honest with Leo; when Krista hesitates, Fallon takes it upon herself to disclose the truth.

Fallon questions Leo's choice to proceed with the wedding amid these revelations. She grows uneasy when Taye begins working for Krista at the Piano Bar and asks him to keep her secrets confidential. Taye perceives Fallon's feelings for Leo, which she denies. When Taye requests financial support from Krista for an expensive piano performer, Fallon reluctantly agrees under threat of having her secrets exposed.

Conflicts escalate when Krista borrows Fallon's wedding dress without permission and stains it with wine. The fallout prompts Fallon to reveal the dress's importance to Leo and express her resentment toward Krista. As Fallon's romantic interest in Leo deepens, she plots to create disruption and announces Sebastian’s return to Erinsborough.

Ken Obasi

Ken Obasi, portrayed by Charles Allen, made his debut on 13 February 2025. Introduced as the father of established characters Remi Varga-Murphy and Taye Obasi, Ken arrives in Erinsborough aiming to mend relationships with his children. He requests that Taye come back home to Apollo Bay, but Taye declines. It emerges that Ken had kept Remi and Taye apart due to an affair involving Taye's mother. While Remi permits Taye to remain, Ken spends quality time bonding with his grandsons JJ and Dex Varga-Murphy.

Maddy Murphy

Maddy Murphy, portrayed by Emma Horn, first appeared on 17 February 2025. She is introduced as the cousin of established characters Cara Varga-Murphy and Chelsea Murphy. A midwife by profession, Maddy enters during a storyline centered around searching for her missing cousin Chelsea. She becomes involved with Nicolette Stone, who is investigating Chelsea’s disappearance. Initially denying knowledge of Chelsea’s whereabouts, Maddy eventually admits to assisting Chelsea during childbirth prior to her disappearance.

Maddy engages in flirtation with Nicolette, leading to a secret romantic relationship despite complications involving Cara and Remi Varga-Murphy. Cara confronts Maddy over her dishonesty, and tensions rise when Remi discovers Maddy and Nicolette together. This storyline explores intricate family relationships and romantic conflicts as Maddy balances her part in the search for Chelsea while forging connections within the community.

Agnes Adair

Agnes Adair, brought to life by Anne Charleston, made her first appearance on 17 March 2025. Charleston, widely recognized for her portrayal of Madge Bishop, rejoined Neighbours embodying a fresh character linked to the departure narrative of Madge’s spouse, Harold Bishop (Ian Smith). Introduced during the series' 40th Anniversary celebrations, Agnes’ storylines emphasized her remarkable likeness to Madge as well as her familial ties to both the Ramsay and Robinson clans.

Agnes becomes intertwined with prominent figures including JJ Varga-Murphy and Harold, who initially confuses her with Madge. After visiting Eirene Rising, she decides to relocate there upon discovering she is Madge’s second cousin. Throughout her time in the community, Agnes builds relationships with Harold and other locals while dealing with personal issues such as isolation and challenges in her publishing efforts.

When Harold relocates to Queensland, Agnes continues engaging with the neighborhood and pursues prospects for her book, which garners interest from a publisher based in Port Douglas. Motivated by encouragement from friends, she contemplates moving to Port Douglas to further her writing ambitions and sustain ties with Harold.

Agnes was prominently featured in the series' opening credits alongside principal cast members, underscoring her importance within ongoing plots during this timeframe.

Thomas Murphy

Thomas Matthew Murphy-Robinson, portrayed by Charlie Lyon, was introduced on 17 March 2025. He is the infant son of Chelsea Murphy (Viva Bianca), following a pregnancy storyline revealed at the conclusion of the 2024 season. The plot initially revolved around a paternity uncertainty involving Chelsea's former fiancé Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) and Jeffrey Swan (Tim Potter), with early spoilers confirming Paul as Thomas’ father through DNA evidence.

The character was named after the show’s digital producer Thomas Sage and appeared in scenes either as "Thomas actual" (played by Lyon) or depicted as a doll; Bianca described working with him as a "truly special" experience.

Later developments reveal Jeffrey returns and admits to manipulating the paternity test results, establishing himself as Thomas’ biological father. Thomas and Chelsea relocate to Ramsay Street to live with his aunt Cara Varga-Murphy (Sara West). Initially, Thomas bonds with Paul; however, a subsequent test confirming Jeffrey’s paternity impacts the dynamics among Paul, his partner Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou), and Chelsea. The family shares occasions such as a naming day celebration, while Paul voices concerns about Chelsea’s new partner Darcy Tyler (Mark Raffety) interacting with Thomas.

Sandra participates in Andrew Rodwell's (Lloyd Will) self-defense sessions and displays an interest in him. Reporter Daniel Kilkelly disclosed that Sandra acts as a seductress toward Andrew, who remains unaware of her true motives. Characters warn Andrew about her flirtatious behavior. A show spokesperson explained that Andrew feels flattered by Sandra’s compliments, interpreting them innocently, whereas Max Ramsay (Ben Jackson) and Holly Hoyland (Lucinda Armstrong Hall) visibly cringe at her romantic advances.

During class, Sandra partners with Max; his girlfriend Holly accuses Sandra of attempting seduction after Sandra places her hand on Max’s leg. Holly responds by performing an impromptu defensive move that causes Sandra pain. Despite this, Sandra continues attending classes and openly flirts with Andrew, who remains oblivious despite warnings from Holly and Max. She invites Andrew for coffee, which he declines due to his marriage. Persisting in her public flirtation, Sandra even asks Andrew for a shoulder massage. Later on, she cautions Andrew's wife Wendy Rodwell (Candice Leask) not to blame her if communication problems arise between them.

Ambrose had been previously spotted in promotional photos from the location shoot. In their initial storyline, Aaron flirts with Colton while using the pseudonym Charlie. They become intimate, but Colton later finds a photograph of Aaron's deceased husband David Tanaka (Takaya Honda) and demands clarification.

The two meet by the pool and quickly strike up a friendship following Aaron’s false introduction. They enjoy swimming and snorkeling together before Colton initiates a kiss, leading to intimacy at Aaron's villa. After Colton discovers the photo of David alongside daughter Isla Tanaka-Brennan (Hannah Abe-Tucker), Aaron discloses his true identity, causing Colton to initially walk away. However, Colton soon arrives in Erinsborough, approaches Aaron during a date with Rhett Norman (Liam Maguire), and mentions a job interview at Eirene Rising where he is hired as assistant manager by Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou).

She arrives on Ramsay Street accompanied by her mother Yvette Ramsay (Libby Tanner) to stay with Max. Yvette wishes for Saskia to settle permanently in Erinsborough due to bullying issues at her former school, and Max agrees to have her move into his shared house. Saskia also develops romantic feelings for housemate Byron Stone (Xavier Molyneux) and shares a kiss with him.

Saskia and Yvette establish themselves at number 32 Ramsay Street, welcomed by Max and his girlfriend Holly Hoyland (Lucinda Armstrong Hall).

Declining a date invitation from Dex, Saskia receives earrings from Wendy as a present but later claims they were hidden by peer Archie Skehill (Ollie Pearce).
