Kathy Carpenter, played by Tina Bursill, made her first screen appearance on 10 March 2014.[3] Bursill's casting was announced on 22 November 2013, while Kathy has previously been mentioned in the series.[4] A Neighbours spokesperson confirmed that Bursill began filming her scenes in early 2014.[4] Kathy is the ex-wife of established character Lou Carpenter (Tom Oliver). Bursill and Oliver previously worked with each other in the 1970s and Bursill commented "While it has been a long time between takes, it was lovely to work with Tom again and also a lot of new faces."[3] In May 2014, Calen MacKenzie, who plays Kathy's on-screen grandson Bailey, confirmed Bursill had reprised her role as Kathy for a second guest stint.[5] Kathy returned on 18 July 2014.[6]

Kathy comes to Ramsay Street to visit her daughter Lauren (Kate Kendall).[4] Kathy is the only other person who knew Lauren had been pregnant with Brad Willis's (Kip Gamblin) child and she helped her daughter to hide the pregnancy.[7] Executive producer Jason Herbison commented that during her visit, Kathy would deliver news that will rock the Turner and Willis households, setting the stage for "some major fireworks throughout the year."[8] Bursill later said that Kathy would shock Lauren when she reveals her child is alive and added "Kathy had been trying to protect her daughter by concealing the truth."[9] Daniel Kilkelly from Digital Spy also reported that Kathy would clash with Lou.[3]

Lauren calls Kathy to say that she is going to tell her husband, Matt (Josef Brown), and Brad Willis about the baby she gave birth to twenty years ago. Kathy arrives in Erinsborough to see Lauren and instantly clashes with her ex-husband Lou. Lauren intervenes to say Kathy is staying with them. She then takes her mother to see her coffee shop and they discuss the phone call. Kathy tells Lauren that she should keep quiet about the baby. Kathy's youngest grandson, Bailey (Calen Mackenzie), tries to get to the bottom of his grandparents' issues and sits them both down to talk. With Lauren determined to tell Matt about the baby, Kathy admits that the baby was not stillborn and is still alive. Lauren is devastated by Kathy's revelation. Kathy goes on to explain that the baby was adopted out. Lauren is unable to forgive Kathy and asks her to leave. Kathy stays at Lassiter's Hotel, where she meets Brad's wife, Terese (Rebekah Elmaloglou). Kathy tells Terese that she is stopping Lauren from trying to find her daughter. Kathy then informs Bailey and Amber (Jenna Rosenow) about their half-sister, leading to a confrontation with Lou. He asks Kathy to leave, as she is making things worse. However, Kathy stays and buys Number 32 for Lauren. Lauren accepts Kathy's offer on behalf of the children. She then asks her mother to stay away from her family and Kathy leaves town.

Several months later, Lauren invites Kathy back to Erinsborough for Amber and Bailey. She is surprised when, after reconciling over the phone, Kathy makes a sudden arrival, and tells her to book at a room at Lassiter's. Kathy clashes with Terese and Lauren's employee, Paige Smith (Olympia Valance). When Paige shows an interest in Kathy's homeware business, she apologises for her earlier behaviour and Kathy agrees to mentor her. Paige learns that Kathy has hired a private investigator to search for her granddaughter. Paige asks Kathy to abandon the search for Lauren's sake, but Kathy goes ahead with it. Paige later sees Kathy taking some medication and Kathy tells her she has a heart condition. Kathy's private investigator informs her that her granddaughter has been found in Canberra. Kathy meets with Megan Dennison (Stefanie Jones), but she is not happy when Paige interrupts them. Megan later leaves and sends Kathy a text saying the meeting was a mistake. Kathy becomes suspicious of Paige and starts asking around about her. While they are out driving, Kathy goes through Paige's bag and finds a sketch pad with drawings of the Turners and Willises. Kathy realises Paige is the granddaughter she has been searching for, and she has a heart attack causing her to lose control of the car, which then hits Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney). Kathy's scarf becomes caught in the door, strangling her. Paige frees her and Kathy and Toadie are taken to the hospital, where Kathy undergoes surgery. When she wakes up, Kathy tells Matt that Paige is Lauren's daughter. Kathy abandons her plans to open a store in Erinsborough and she decides to return to Queensland.

When Sienna claims she has been fired and kicked out of her house, Mark allows her to stay with him. Sienna helps Mark to go through Kate's things and she kisses him. Mark asks her to leave, but changes his mind when Sienna tells him she has no where else to go. Sienna then goes away for a few days to give him space. On her return, Mark confronts Sienna with a threatening note she wrote to Kate before her death. Sienna is questioned by the police, but she maintains that she did not shoot Kate.

I'm going back to work. The kids don't remember me on Emmerdale, so they're excited about seeing mummy on TV. The last thing I did was Hollyoaks and I was really nervous. I feel a bit like that on Neighbours, not necessarily because they watch English soaps but more because it's, 'Oh, that's Harry Kewell's wife - what's she doing?'"[34] Murphy also said that she had watched Neighbours since the beginning and was very happy to be part of the cast, calling it "unbelievable."[35] Murphy spent six weeks filming the recurring role.[36] Murphy later said she would be open to a longer stint with Neighbours, as she and her husband were thinking of moving to Australia permanently.[37]

After arriving in Erinsborough, Dakota goes to The Waterhole where she slaps and kisses Paul Robinson.

There is spookiness about her which makes playing her a lot of fun as well."[41] Dodds later said Rain was "good-natured" and a little narcissistic.[42]

Rain comes to Erinsborough to visit her former boyfriend, Daniel Robinson. Rain tells Daniel that she is homeless due to the closure of the community where they lived. She meets Daniel's fiancée Amber Turner, who is initially threatened by her until Rain reveals she has a boyfriend, one of Daniel's old friends Wolfie.

She confesses she is having problems with Wolfie, and fears he is cheating on her. However, Wolfie tells Daniel that he and Rain broke up weeks ago as she cheated on him.

Gary is the estranged father of Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan). Prior to his reappearance, he had not seen his son for sixteen years, having walked out on him when he was eight years old. Milligan said Kyle was unsure whether "to hit him or hug him" when they were reunited.[44] He explained, "Kyle has really wanted his dad to come back and be part of his life for so long, but when he does, he doesn't know how he is feeling or how to react with his emotions. It's going to be a bit of a shake-up, but hopefully it works out for them!"[44] Gary was also reunited with his mother Sheila (Colette Mann) and his sister Naomi (Morgana O'Reilly) during his time in Erinsborough.[44] Milligan called the episodes featuring Gary "very interesting" and added that Richardson was "so funny and with the way that he portrays Kyle's dad, you can really tell where Kyle gets his bogan and larrikin attitude from!"[44]

Gary contacts his mother, Sheila, asking for her help. He later meets her in the park and she hands him some money. Sheila asks Gary to see his son, Kyle, but Gary refuses. Kyle's wife, Georgia (Saskia Hampele), then meets with Gary and persuades him to see Kyle. Gary and Kyle make small talk, but when Gary sees Kyle playing with his dog, Bossy, he suddenly leaves, as it brings back memories of Kyle's childhood. Gary tells Kyle that he cannot make up for his absence. He later visits Kyle to apologise and to see if they can make up for lost time. Gary tells Sheila and Kyle that he left Frankston after witnessing a crime by the McKenzie brothers, and has been on the run to protect his family. Gary begins helping Kyle out with his business and is reunited with his sister Naomi. Gary and Naomi agree that they should not tell Kyle that they have been meeting up over the years. Gary leaves Kyle's toolbox unlocked and someone takes the tools. Gary tries to buy some second-hand tools, before getting a job to compensate his son. He also asks Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) for some work and Paul pays him to beat up Ezra Hanley (Steve Nation). Sheila sees Gary taking payment from Paul and confronts him. She then urges Gary to turn himself in, but he leaves instead. Gary turns up at the hospital when he learns that Sheila had a heart attack. When Gary confesses that it was his fault as Sheila had just found out about Ezra, Naomi tells Kyle that Gary walked out on him the first time as he was actually the getaway driver for the McKenzie's. Kyle then reports Gary to the police and Gary tells them that Paul paid him to assault Ezra. After Paul is questioned, he pays Gary to change his story. Gary offers the money to Kyle and Naomi, but they refuse to take it and he leaves. Before Gary is taken to jail, he meets with his family one last time.

Ezra Hanley, played Steve Nation, made his first screen appearance on 19 November 2014.[46] Nation's casting was announced on the same day. He had previously spent twenty years auditioning for roles on Neighbours and Home and Away, so he was "thrilled" to be given a role on the show.[46] He commented "As an actor it's an honour and a privilege to be on Neighbours. It's kind of where everyone who's anyone has been before. Hopefully, it's the game changer in my career. I've been acting for 20 years but this is another stepping stone."[46] Nation said his character would "stir things up a little" and confirmed that following his initial guest stint, he would return to filming in February 2015.[46]

Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) contacts Ezra and invites him to Lassiter's Erinsborough to help his former colleague Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou) organise a festival. Ezra soon questions Paul as to why he flew him over, believing that Paul wants him to come between Terese and her husband Brad (Kip Gamblin). Ezra later agrees to go for a drink with Terese. He decides to delay his return to Perth and he takes Terese out to dinner. While they are working in her room, they almost kiss, but Terese realises she still loves her husband, and asks Ezra to leave. However, he locks the door and attempts to assault Terese, causing her to forcefully eject him from the room. Ezra is fired, and he decides to sue both Terese and Paul. Both Paul and Brad threaten Ezra, and Terese later finds him badly beaten. After he is treated, Ezra drops the lawsuits and leaves town. It soon emerges that Paul paid Gary Canning (Damien Richardson) to attack Ezra.

The following year, the Quill Group purchases Lassiter's Erinsborough from Paul and sends their acquisitions manager, Ezra, to check it out. Soon after he arrives, Ezra is confronted by Terese. Ezra conducts an efficiency evaluation and clashes with Gary's mother, Sheila (Colette Mann). He reduces Terese's responsibilities at the hotel and demotes her to receptionist.

Ezra demotes Sheila and hires Nate Kinski (Meyne Wyatt) as trainee bar manager at The Waterhole. Brad tries to ask Ezra about his son, Clem (Max Whitelaw), but Ezra shuts him down and complains to Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne). He later warns Brad to stay away from Clem. After Nate complains about Sheila, Ezra invites him for a drink and he tells him about the redevelopment plans for The Waterhole. Terese asks Ezra about Clem's behaviour and if it has anything to do with his ex-girlfriend Chloe Jones (Gaby Seow). Clem later tells Susan that his father assaulted Chloe. After Clem returns to Perth, Ezra angrily confronts Terese. Ezra is arrested when Chloe makes a formal complaint against him.

Erin Rogers, played by Adrienne Pickering, made her first screen appearance on 24 November 2014.[47] The character and Pickering's casting was announced on 17 November 2014.[48] Pickering said "she was a very challenging character to play because she is so different from me, which made the whole experience really enjoyable and interesting."[48] Erin is a former friend of Sonya Mitchell (Eve Morey), who will shake up Erinsborough following her arrival. Pickering stated that Erin had "a dysfunctional upbringing" which has caused her to struggle to deal with situations rationally.[47][48] Pickering added that as Erin has only known chaos in her life, her reactions to things could be jarring.[48] Morey also explained that Erin was once Sonya's best friend in high school. Erin has been sending poison pen letters to Sonya, as she blames Sonya for her addiction to substances.[47] Melinda Houston from The Sydney Morning Herald praise Pickering's performance as Erin and the storyline, writing "I'm actually rather enjoying the Erin plot arc, not least because Adrienne Pickering is doing such a good job (within the confines of the genre) of playing a woman on the edge. Her scenes generate genuine angst, and the unfolding of events is equally believable."[49]

Erin breaks into Sonya Mitchell's house and knocks Mark Brennan (Scott McGregor) unconscious. She later returns and is confronted by Sonya and her husband Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney). Erin admits to sending poison pen letter to Sonya's friends and neighbours, as she blames Sonya for her addiction to drugs and the subsequent loss of her daughter to social services. Erin is charged with assault, stalking and trespass. Toadie visits Erin at the police station and warns her to stay away from his family. A few days later, Sonya confronts Erin and then pays her bail. Sonya vows to help Erin get back on her feet and reconnect with her daughter. She takes Erin to The Waterhole, knowing there is a job available, and Sheila Canning (Colette Mann) hires Erin to collect glasses. Brennan tells Sheila that Erin sent Sonya the poison pen letters, causing Erin to quit her job. Sonya brings some food to Erin's squat on Christmas Day. Erin nearly collapses from a coughing fit, but tells Sonya to leave.

Brennan returns and convinces Erin to go to the hospital to get medication. After learning that her living conditions are making her health worse, he invites her to stay with him. Erin begins a treatment program overseen by Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher) and learns her daughter wants to see her. Erin borrows money from Sonya to buy a new dress. She meets with a drug dealer, but later tells Sonya that she did not make a purchase.
