Guest Character Profiles > Fallon Morell Kate Connick

The younger half-sister of Krista Sinclair on their mother's side, Fallon Morell had last seen Krista a few years earlier when she'd been travelling in Europe with her best friend, Sebastian Metcalfe. While Krista eventually moved on from the party lifestyle and got herself clean, starting a new life in Erinsborough and becoming engaged to Leo Tanaka, Sebastian struggled to make changes. He returned to Greece, where Fallon lived, and the pair ended up in a six-month relationship but when Fallon proposed to him, he didn't answer and simply upped and left. Seb then returned to Australia, ultimately finding his way back into Krista's life and, as she helped him to get clean, he began to realise that he had always seen her as more than a friend. He attempted to come between her and Leo, with Krista completely oblivious, having never seen him as more than her best friend. When this seemed to be failing, he kissed Krista, which happened to be witnessed by Fallon, who had arrived in town looking for him.

Fallon later went to Krista's apartment, not mentioning what she'd seen earlier, and the sisters started to catch up. Having found out about Seb's true feelings, Krista asked him to leave, buying him a flight back to Sydney, whilst Fallon claimed to remember meeting him once before years ago in Athens, but failed to mention her relationship with him the year before. As the sisters caught up, Fallon apologised for her lack of contact in recent years, mentioning that she'd seen on social media that Krista and Leo were engaged. Meanwhile, after learning that Fallon was in town, Seb sent her a message, asking to meet up before he left Erinsborough. Hoping for answers about his disappearing act, Fallon met with Seb, who admitted that he'd come to realise that Krista had always been the sister he'd been more interested in. He told Fallon that he was sure that Krista felt the same way and it was only a matter of time before she realised it - and that she would want to keep her options open, so she probably wouldn't tell Leo about the kiss.

Having heard Seb's side of the story, Fallon was left more confused than ever, and she ended up confiding in another newcomer to Erinsborough, Taye Obasi, who saw her sitting alone, looking upset. Taye advised her to keep Seb and Krista's kiss a secret for the time being, as it might be useful ammunition further down the line. Already resentful about the very different upbringings that she and Krista had experienced, with Krista spending most of her life coasting along on her dad's wealth, Fallon grew more upset as she got to know Leo, finding out that he had a child and was a nice guy who didn't deserve to be lied to. After overhearing Krista and Leo talking about Seb and deciding to put the whole thing behind them, with no mention from Krista of the kiss, Fallon wondered if her half-sister was simply a terrible person.

Still unsure what to do, Fallon was chatting to Taye again when she came up with a plan - with no job and little money, and needing to find a way to get closer to Krista and Leo, she offered to be their wedding planner. Though she had no intention of sabotaging the wedding, she saw it as a perfect opportunity to work out if Krista was deceiving Leo and would rather be with Seb. However, alone at the apartment that night, Fallon appeared to still be very hung up on Seb and the wedding she'd missed out on, as she held up a dress, looked in the mirror and imagined herself wearing it. With Leo looking for help at a wedding that was being held at his vineyard, Yorokobi, the next day, Fallon jumped at the chance to pitch in, proving very helpful when the restaurant doors were left open and some birds got in. Having helped to clean up and to make the wedding a success, Fallon took the opportunity to chat to Leo at the end of the day, realising that they had a lot in common, neither having grown up around money. As she got to know him more, and as he was still clearly oblivious about why Seb had left town, Fallon grew increasingly concerned that her half-sister was going to badly hurt Leo.

When Krista then received a letter from Seb, she refused to talk to Fallon about it, only intriguing her more, particularly as she saw how upset Krista was. Krista insisted that it was just part of Seb's twelve steps in rehab and it was a bit confronting, but Fallon decided to look for herself, only to be caught reading the letter by Krista. Initially furious with her sister, Krista calmed down as Fallon explained that she wasn't comfortable with lying to Leo and needed to know the full story. Having only seen a few lines of the letter, Fallon asked for the truth and Krista told her about how Seb has confessed his love and then kissed her. She explained that she needed to have a deep conversation with Leo and, believing her sister was going to confess her feelings for Seb to her fiancé, Fallon was pleased that the truth finally looked like it was going to come out. However, when Leo brought his daughter Abigail along to their date, Krista was unable to talk to him properly. When Leo then arrived at the vineyard later, Fallon realised that he didn't know and decided to tell him about the letter and the kiss, claiming that she thought Krista had already told him.

A furious Leo then confronted Krista, who admitted that it was a lot more complicated than that, explaining that Seb had said something to her that had concerned her - that Leo was too controlling. She admitted that it had made her think and she wondered if Leo needed to control her due to her addictions, and he apologised if he'd made her feel that way, but insisted that it wasn't conscious and that he was still worried that they seemed to spend so much time keeping things from each other. Fallon, meanwhile, apologised to Krista for slipping up and was surprised when Krista insisted that she didn't have feelings for Seb and that Leo was the only one she wanted. Realising that she'd been wrong, Fallon was still left worried that Krista and Leo were too dysfunctional to marry, particularly with a child involved, and disappointed when she found out that they'd patched up their problems and the wedding was back on.
