Ian Ward, portrayed by Ray Wise, made his first appearance on January 23, 2014, as a former cult leader, believed to be the biological father of Dylan McAvoy (Steve Burton) and former lover of Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott). Wise's casting in the recurring role was announced in December 2013.[2][3][4] The character was slated to "play an integral role in the lives of several Genoa City residents".[2] Michael Fairman of On-Air Soaps wrote that, "Now this is actually good casting if you look at the eyes of Ray Wise and Steve Burton!", and also asked if the character "could become the next Mitch Laurence of daytime".[3] Jillian Bowe of Zap2it wrote that, "Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) and Dylan (Steve Burton) will soon have another family reunion in Genoa City."[5] Soap Opera Digest described Ian as a "charismatic former cult leader who seduced a teen Nikki, resulting in the son he never knew he had (Dylan)".[6] In an interview with the magazine, Wise stated that the director of How I Met Your Mother, a sitcom where Wise recurs, recommended him for the role to the soap opera's producer, Jill Farren Phelps.[6] Wise also described and explained the character, stating: "I think he's like everybody else; there's good and bad in all of us. Ian certainly has that. In the past, he's been the leader of a group of people. [Now] he has a philosophy and a kind of religion that he follows called The Path. He's in town to find out about a certain individual, but he's probably there to stir it up a little bit and I think he will."[6] After a nearly year long absence, Wise returned on September 4, 2015. [7]

Ian arrives in Genoa City suddenly after being informed by a co-worker that two people were looking for him in Indiana. He surprises Nikki by appearing in her home and she immediately tells him to leave before slapping him twice; he is surprised that Nikki never told him he fathered a child with her. He then introduces himself to Dylan, who isn't pleased that he is in town. Ian later overhears Summer Newman (Hunter King) talking about being confused about her future, and he gives her a business card for The Path, the present day version of his cult. He later convinces her to begin counseling with him, but Nikki and Summer's father Nicholas Newman (Joshua Morrow) are able to stop him from scamming Summer. Dylan later confronts Ian and asks why he shouldn't kill him, where he claims to have a secret. Ian is arrested and his case is taken by Leslie Michaelson (Angell Conwell), generating controversy. Later, Dylan and Nikki's husband Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) work to get Ian out of town, contacting his ex-wife Willah, who later reveals that Ian is unable to father children. Leslie also breaks the client/attorney confidentiality clause by revealing his secret. This leads Nikki to realize that Ian was never Dylan's father and that her lover at the time, Paul Williams (Doug Davidson), is. Ian defends himself by saying that when Nikki said that he was Dylan's father, he decided to come to town and go along with her assumptions. He also threatens to report Leslie for revealing his secret if she doesn't file a lawsuit against Nikki. The lawsuit ends up happening and goes to court, where Nikki is forced to read a diary she kept while in Ian's cult.

Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes), who had been shown to have been linked with Ian somehow, was later revealed to be Sharon Newman's (Sharon Case) daughter, Cassie Newman's twin sister who was stolen at birth by Ian. After Mariah had revealed that he had been a father figure to her all her life, Ian later kidnaps her, drugs her and marries her while she is under the influence of the drugs. Ian escapes from being arrested, and Dylan is left looking suspicious in what happened to him. He is later arrested for Ian's murder, but Paul reveals that he knows Dylan is innocent and Ian is alive. He enlists the help of he and Nikki to lure Ian back to Genoa City. Nikki successfully gets Ian to a hotel room, where he is finally arrested, and Dylan is cleared of all charges.

Austin Travers, portrayed by Matthew Atkinson, made his first appearance on April 17, 2014. Atkinson's casting in the recurring role was announced in March, slated to be a cameraman working with Avery Bailey Clark (Jessica Collins).[13][14][15] Jamey Giddens of Zap2it wrote that the series was "upping its hunk quotient" by hiring Atkinson.[14] In an interview with On-Air On-Soaps before his debut, Atkinson revealed that Austin would also be involved in a storyline with Summer Newman (Hunter King).[16]

Austin debuts as a cameraman, working with Avery on her new online cooking show. After the first episodes are posted, an anonymous person begins posting rude and suspicious comments, under the screen name "4MJ". Avery suspects Ian Ward (Ray Wise) is behind it, despite denying it. Austin later meets Summer Newman and is smitten with her, and they begin dating. It is then revealed that Austin is the unknown person posting comments, and he later kidnaps Avery and makes her confess to freeing the man that killed his mother years prior. Avery's boyfriend Dylan McAvoy (Steve Burton) rushes to save her, despite warnings from police chief Paul Williams (Doug Davidson). After Dylan arrives and Austin pulls a gun, Dylan tackles him as Paul and the police force arrive. Austin fires the gun and Paul is shot, leaving him in critical condition. Austin escapes and goes on the run, where Summer insists on accompanying him. The police catch up with him, but Austin is able to leave Summer and return to Genoa City to turn himself in. Summer then insists on finding a lawyer to represent him, even asking Avery to do it. Leslie Michaelson (Angell Conwell) takes the case and Summer bails him out. Later, she suggests they get married, which they do, shocking all of Summer's loved ones who are convinced Austin will be convicted. At his hearing, all he is given is a fine to pay, which Summer pays from her trust fund. They resume their marriage as tension surrounding their union begins to lift. Tension quickly rose on their union as Summer became increasing jealous when Austin develops a friendship with Cassie's twin sister Mariah Copeland, whom she strongly dislikes. When Summer's mother returns from her coma, Summer introduces Austin as her friend, upsetting Austin with Summer claiming that the doctor is requiring her family not to give upsetting or shocking information to Phyllis. Soon after, Phyllis learns from Summer that the two are "engaged" which enrages her. Phyllis becomes even more furious when she learns the two are married and Austin is a felon. As Phyllis sees their relationship begin to blossom, Phyllis agrees to ease up, which allows the pair to be together. Months after it is revealed to Summer that Sharon switched her paternity results, Summer and Austin once again face relationship problems, when Summer learns Mariah kissed Austin. Abby Newman invites Summer, Austin, Mariah, Kevin Fisher, Fenmore Baldwin, Noah Newman, and Courtney Sloane to the Abbott Cabin. After Fenmore spiked Abby's punch, everyone falls asleep. After the group wakes up, they discover Austin is missing and, while discussing his possible whereabouts, Austin falls out of a wardrobe and Courtney declares him dead.

Joe Clark arrives in Genoa City from Chicago and was first seen at Crimson Lights, and immediately caught the attention of Mariah Copeland. He also went to the Genoa City Athletic Club (GCAC), where he was noticed by Lauren Fenmore Baldwin. Joe went to his ex-wife Avery's apartment and they talked about the past and their present, he tells her he has no bitterness for her affair with Dylan McAvoy.

Occupation Manager of The Underground
Kelly Sullivan joined the cast as Sage, caretaker to Constance Bingham and cohort to Adam Newman.

Sage Newman (formerly Warner), portrayed by actress Kelly Sullivan, made her first appearance October 28, 2014. Sullivan previously portrayed Connie Falconeri on General Hospital. The character's debut was to coincide with the plot involving the return of Adam Newman (now portrayed by Justin Hartley), after a long period off screen. Sage is first seen covered in a long scarf at the hospital's chapel, after which she takes an item that Adam's wife, Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan), had left behind. She later anonymously returns it to Chelsea's doorstep.

After Adam and Billy Abbott (Billy Miller) got into a car crash in the woods, another man by the name of Gabriel Bingham was killed. Sage found Adam lying in the rubble, barely recognizable because of his injuries. She brought him to Gabriel's grandmother's house, and hired doctors in order to help him heal. Sage, aware of who Adam was, also hired a plastic surgeon, in order to make Adam pass off as Gabriel Bingham. Adam could pass off as another man in order to avoid law enforcement after he killed Billy's daughter in a car accident. After Constance passes away, Sage later revealed that she is Gabriel's wife, that she married Gabriel the day that he died in the car crash, and that her and Adam would have to stay married for 3 years in order to receive Constance's inheritance.

She encounters Chelsea and Billy (Burgess Jenkins) for the first time at Delia's memorial site next to the road, as she was caught spying on them. She unconvincingly told them that her car had broken down. Adam, adamant on reuniting with Chelsea and their son Connor, moves to Genoa City with Sage. Posing as husband and wife, Sage goes along with the act in order to ensure that no one becomes suspicious of Adam's true identity. They eventually buy an apartment across the hall from Chelsea and her boyfriend, Billy. After many encounters, Sage and Adam reveal to Billy and Chelsea that their marriage was for money, rather than for love. She also reveals that she is infertile and therefore incapable of having children, after which Adam surprisingly comforts her. Billy later invites Sage and Adam to stay at the Abbott mansion, as their apartments caught fire, and he was suspicious that Adam, posing as Gabriel, was getting close to his now fiancee, Chelsea.

Sage also gets involved with Adam's brother, Nicholas Newman (Joshua Morrow). She first sees him unconscious near Constance's house, as he was bleeding a lot after being caught in a bear trap. After calling the ambulance, she quickly flees. When she arrives in Genoa City, she goes to the Underground, which was the club that Nick owned. Nick recognizes her, and thanks her for her help. After getting relatively close, Sage reveals to Nick that she is married to Gabriel, who is in fact one of Nick's friends from boarding school. However, this did not stop Sage from comforting Nick as he was going through a rough time while dealing with the custody case between him and Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) over their daughter, Faith. Sage later revealed to him that her marriage to Gabriel was in fact a marriage of convenience, and that there was nothing else to it. Nick and Sage had various discussions about her "arrangement" with Gabriel, Nick believing that Sage is sacrificing her life without just cause.

As Nick and Sage share a kiss in the Underground on Valentine's Day, the ceiling collapses, and Nick pushes Sage out of the way. Both of them escape without harm. Sage also meets Nick's daughter, Faith, who is unimpressed with Sage, seeing her as a threat to her family. Sage, on the other hand, responds nicely and tries to befriend her, which turned out to be a wasted effort. As the Underground was being rebuilt, Sage went to go visit Nick several times. Sharon eventually walks in on them having sex amongst the construction materials in the storage room. Sage later tells Adam that she is seeing Nick, and Adam is extremely taken aback yet unhappy. However, he uses this information to seek comfort from Chelsea, making her think that he is in love with Sage, and that she does not feel the same.

After Adam tells Chelsea that Sage was in love with another man, Chelsea confronts Sage and demands an explanation. Sage tells Chelsea that she has been played this whole time, and that all the events that lead up to "Gabriel" and Chelsea's friendship was a scam. She hints to Chelsea that Gabriel isn't who she really thinks he is, almost revealing his true identity. Adam and Sage meet up at the Athletic Club to meet with the attorney who is in charge of giving them Constance's inheritance. Sage lashes out at "Gabriel" in front of the attorney, tells him that he does not deserve the inheritance, and that she is filing for divorce. She later runs into Nick, tells her she has moved out and is divorcing Gabriel. After telling him that he's the reason why she has done this, they make love in her suite.

Sally Kellerman played the wheelchair-bound Constance Bingham for a number of episodes in late 2014.

Constance Bingham, portrayed by Sally Kellerman, first appeared on November 13, 2014, for a multiple episode stint. News that the Oscar-nominated actress had been cast on the soap was announced on October 2.[25] A casting call, released in September, described Constance as being "in her 70's, a sweet and old fashion grandmother who is active and alert even though she’s in a wheelchair."[26] Kellerman began taping on October 8.[26] It was revealed that Constance would be interacting with several characters.[27] This marks the first time Kellerman had appeared on a soap opera, with the longtime actress stating, "I’m really excited. I really am, but God help me."[28] Additionally, referring to the fast pace of daytime dramas in comparison to other mediums, Kellerman confessed: "I never thought about doing a daytime soap before, not even for a moment. I am on my knees in adulation for the people who do this (...) I kept thinking to myself, “How could I have possibly signed up for this?”"[29]

The character appeared in a storyline which assisted the return of the character Adam Newman, after being recast with Justin Hartley. Adam has had excessive reconstructive surgery to look like her deceased grandson, Gabriel, and Constance believes that he is Gabriel. In actuality, the real Gabriel had died months prior saving Adam.[30] Sage Warner (Kelly Sullivan), a woman who has been living with Constance for years since the death of her parents, is involved in the scheme to pass Adam off as Gabriel. Speaking of the character, Kellerman said: "She is a good person, and she doesn’t like her enemies. She is part of one family, and there is another family that has bad people in it (...) She loves her grandson and she loves Sage, and Sage loves her, too. Sage is caught in the middle of a lot of stuff; she is the character that is walking a fine line."[29] Constance' health deteriorates and she is dying. Adam, as "Gabriel", goes to say goodbye to her. Constance tells "Gabriel" about her animosity towards Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), Adam's father, and the Newman family. This is due to the fact that Victor orchestrated a hostile takeover of Gabriel's father's company which led to him committing suicide. Constance asks "Gabriel" to avenge the death of his father.[31]

The initial casting call for Gwen described her "as being either Asian or Latina, and in her 20’s. She’s an introverted accountant during the day, but once the sun goes down she’s a party girl!"[34] Soap Opera Digest revealed that her character is "conservative", but also someone who becomes a "different person" at night.[35] In response to this, Luke Kerr of Daytime Confidential wrote: "Now whatever could that mean? Is she a government spy, a lady of the night, a vampire? There are so many possibilities."[36] Nicole, who previously appeared on shows such as CSI, 90210 and The Bold and the Beautiful, will portray Gwen on a recurring basis.[37] Gwen first appears as someone Hilary Curtis (Mishael Morgan) enlists to pretend to be Devon Hamilton's (Bryton James) girlfriend.

Tobias Gray

The casting call for Tobias, released in October, described the character as a lab technician in his mid 20s to early 30s who is "quirky" but also has a "cold, calculating energy about him". The role was stated to be a major part, with the series looking for what they described as a "charactery" actor to play the role.[39] In response, On-Air On-Soaps likened this description to the character Damien Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) from General Hospital with "an edge".[40] Todd's casting was announced on November 3,[38] having begun filming on October 24.[39] Tobias is a lab tech in Jabot, working for Ashley, but quickly appears to be a spy hired by Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) to divulge details to him about Ashley's developing fragrance.

After showing up at an event at the Genoa City Athletic Club intoxicated, Tobias leaves and is involved in a fatal car crash. Before succumbing to his injuries, he manages to mention the name Austin.
