    Leah, daughter of Cypriot-born Theo and Helen Poulos, and sister to Demetrii, Alex and Chris, arrived in Summer Bay in episode 2793, 2000, as a runaway bride trying to get out of an arranged marriage. She soon found real love with local bad boy Vinnie Patterson (Ryan Kwanten), and in 2001 they were married. That same year, Leah gave birth to Vinnie "V.J." Patterson Jr (Cooper Scott). Things, however, took a turn for the worse when Vinnie went to jail to pay for his father's fraud crimes.
As Vinnie was apparently killed by a fire, Leah fell in love with Jesse McGregor (Ben Unwin). They became a couple, but after she became a surrogate mother for Flynn (Joel McIlroy) and Sally Saunders, Jesse and Leah broke up. After Peter Baker (Nicholas Bishop) told her that Vinnie was alive (albeit under a new identity in the Witness Protection Programme, as a result of having testified against a dangerous criminal), Leah went to drastic lengths to be with him, but fell in love with Dan Baker (Tim Campbell). In mid 2005, the couple got married. In the 2005 season finale, Leah found out that Dan had started gambling again and was devastated. They broke up, even though she was pregnant with his child. In early 2006, Dan and Leah patched things up and got back together. However, Leah then kissed Dan's brother Peter in a moment of weakness, and after an accident in which she fell into the sea, she caught pneumonia and lost the baby. When Dan discovered that she and Peter had kissed, they had a period of separation, though they reconciled.

[edit] Summer Bay High Students

  • Matilda "Mattie" Hunter (Indiana Evans)
    Tenure: 2004-2008
    Lives at: Summer Bay House, previously 33 Saxon Ave.
    Parents: Jack and Beth Hunter
    Siblings: Scott, Kit, Robbie and Henry
    Marital status: Currently dating Ric Dalby (for a third time), previously dated Diesel Williams, Lucas Holden, and Dean Silverman, had a one-night stand with Simon Jeffries
    Matilda came to Summer Bay in early 2004 in episode 3658 with her twin brother Henry, furious that she had to move in with her mother, Beth, and soon-to-be-stepfather Rhys. She had several romances, first with Ric Dalby (Mark Furze), then Diesel Williams, and then Lucas Holden (Rhys Wakefield). Her continuing close relationship with Ric caused some friction with Cassie Turner (Sharni Vinson). She went through a number of traumas living in the Bay including being run over (by her brother Robbie), drugged and almost raped by evil Callan and abducted and held hostage by the strange Terry Rawlings. Initially happy with Lucas, his friendship with Belle Taylor (Jessica Tovey) (the destroyer of Ric and Cassie's relationship) put their relationship in trouble. Eventually, like Ric and Cassie, the pair broke up. Despite their break up Matilda hoped they could work things out, but was devastated when she caught Lucas in bed with another girl. However, it was just a misunderstanding, and she has made peace with Lucas and cemented their friendship.

As the youngest member of the Hunter family (Henry is 7 minutes older) Matilda likes to be the centre of attention and is quite the little actress, yet hates the way her family treats her as a little girl rather than the young woman she has grown into.

Matilda suffered horrific burns during the explosion at Jack and Martha's wedding, resulting in Matilda's body issues to come back. She developed an eating disorder and self loathing, much to the concern of her mother Beth and best friends Ric and Cassie. She was eventually admitted to hospital with bulimia and on Rachel's recommendation went to a retreat for teens with problems. She found solace in the arms of Dean, with whom she had a brief relationship with until it was revealed that he was gay. When best friend Cassie cheated on Ric with Macca, Matilda and Cassie had a falling out, in turn leading to Cassie leaving town with Macca, to live in the city. Matilda realised it was her first love, Ric who she truly loved. When Ric admitted he had feelings for Matilda they decided to give a shot and are now very much in love. At the end of 2007 Matilda dumped Ric upon learning that he had slept with Viv Anderson.

Matilda is the last of her on-screen family still featured in the show, with Beth, Scott, Kit, Robbie, Henry & the Sutherlands having all departed. It has been confirmed that Matilda will leave the Bay for good in 2008.

Ric and Matilda had recently just got back together but when Matilda learned Ric was working for Viv's husband, Noel, in a fight club, it is now likely they will break up again, this time for good.

Siblings: Sean and Justin Jefferies.
Aden first appeared as a student at Summer Bay High in 2005, Episode 4019 on a recurring role. And soon after he began dating Cassie Turner. Their relationship ended after Ric Dalby (Cassie's foster brother and Ex-Boyfriend) was beaten up and almost killed by Aden's older brother, Sean. Aden has since returned to the bay as the actor is now a main cast member. He began bullying Geoff Campbell. He has since had a brief fling with Tamsyn Armstrong, but it came to an end after he got her drunk, used her to embarrass her, and left her two days before the leavers prom. Since learning of Ric and Matilda's break up (before they got back together early this year), he constantly tried to get his hands on her, to which Matilda kept telling him she was not interested.

He also was wrongly accused of getting Annie Campbell drunk, but later Annie owned up and Aden was off the hook. Up till early 2008 Aden has been portrayed as a typical 17 year old with a chip on his shoulder, especially when it comes to authority figures. Confident, arrogant, cocky, intimidating and a bit of a charmer, Aden's life revolves around backchatting teachers, as well as his posse of trouble-making friends, and late-night booze fuelled beach parties. However, recently he has been involved in a more serious storyline which is slowly delving into the years of horrific sexual abuse he suffered at the hands of his grandfather. After he confronted his father about the abuse he suffered he became involved in an accident at the old diner where part of the roof caved in, as a result he has lost his memory of the day of the incident; including the confrontation with his father. After being released from hospital Aden moves in with Roman and Nicole Harris, whom he has made a friendship with. Aden and Nicole made a bet that Nicole can sleep with Geoff within 2 weeks; if Nicole loses the bet Aden wins 200 dollars. Aden eventually won the bet when Geoff discovered the truth and got some payback on Nicole. He has recently been flirting with Belle Taylor. On May 20, Aden and Nicole had their first kiss which almost lead to them having sex when she tried to seduce him.

Melody was first introduced to the show as one of Annie Campbell friends with a crush on Annie's brother Geoff. She soon became known as a shy, well behaved girl with very strong religious beliefs. The romance between Melody and Geoff started off when Annie disapproved of Geoff's attraction to another girl at school who she deemed inappropriate, and tried to set him up with Melody who she thought was a more suitable match. When Annie confronted Geoff about why he had not made a move on Melody. As a reply, he accidentally blurted out that "she's just not pretty like other girls." Melody overheard him and ran off, devastated. Geoff found her and tried to apologise, but she told him that she would never forgive him. He accepted this and was truly sorry for what he said. A few weeks later, Melody developed a crush on Geoff again. She told Annie that she thought he was "hot," and even asked Miles if it is alright that a Protestant and a Catholic can date each other, to which he replied that it was fine, which encouraged Melody to pursue Geoff even more. Geoff became annoyed once more with Melody's behaviour towards him.

After Geoff revealed to Melody how he really felt, she was hurt, but later on they made up. She told him it would be stubborn to be angry just because he does not feel the same way about her.
