[edit] About Robbie
Robbie arrived in late 2003 in episode 3647 as a guest role and became a regular at the beginning of the 2004 season. As the middle child of the Hunter clan, he was quite eccentric and odd, as he is always trying to come up with new and crazy inventions and made out of place comments to the Sutherland clan. His intentions are usually always good, but they almost always end up in disaster. Robbie was also a bit of a klutz. For example, when Tasha Andrews went missing, Robbie had designed an invention to catch her, but only ended up catching himself. And when he escaped, he was bitten by a snake. But after Tasha found him and went to get help, they became friends, and eventually lovers. In 2005, Robbie "married" Tasha, only to be dumped by her at the end of the season when she joined a Sydney-based cult called The Believers. They later reconciled after getting married for real.
When Mayor Josh West was murdered, Robbie alongside his wife, Tasha and mother, Beth became a suspect in his murder. Robbie even confessed but retracted it when his moments didn't tally with the real murderer's.
In Late 2006, pending a confession to close friend Martha Holden, Robbie was arrested and charged with his grandfather Graham Walters' death. Robbie was found guilty, but was released at what would be his sentencing. Following this, Robbie, Tasha and their daughter Ella left to live with Tasha's first cousin once removed, Josie Russell in America.
