- PJ losing his house in a fire caused by a drunk Ben,
- Jonesy proving ulterior motives behind Josh's marriage to Tess,
- Jo and PJ drifting apart with them both moving on to other relationships but realising they love each other and start a full time relationship,
- Ben falling for, and proposing to, Salvation Army Captain Marissa Craddock (Heidi Arena),
- The arrival in town of Ben's daughter Maddie,
- Tom dealing with his teenage stepson's problems,
- Tess leaving town, pregnant with Josh's child, due to a natal condition,
- in reality, Caroline Craig had taken time off for the Melbourne Playhouse production of Falling Petals, but chose not to return to Blue Heelers,[1]
- and the arrival of Constable Susie Raynor, whose paralysed husband Brad (Matt Passmore) became wrongly suspicious of Ben and Susie's friendship, ending in a confrontation where Ben had no choice but to shoot and kill Brad in front of Susie.
