When Connor O'Neill mysteriously disappeared from Ramsay Street in 2006, it was wrongly believed that he had been bumped off by Robert Robinson, after learning his secret plot to kill his father, Paul. However, when Connor's wallet was found in China and taken to the Australian embassy, it was revealed that he had simply left the country and, soon after, a package from Connor to his friends, marking St Patrick's Day, proved that he was still alive and well.

Colin Taylor mentioned spending time travelling in Japan, while, after finally getting their act together as a couple and agreeing to get married, Ren and Luke's world was turned upside-down when he was offered a job teaching English in Japan. Realising that they had little keeping them in Erinsborough and the opportunity was too good to miss, they bid farewell but a few months later, Luke was back, suffering from depression, after the new life in Japan had gone badly. Though Ren had adapted well, Luke had struggled and walked out on her.

A few months later, Danni contracted malaria and Luke left to look after her, later finding work and deciding to stay out there.

In 2008, Riley Parker, desperate to escape the clutches of his adoptive aunt Nicola West, took a job working with journalists in the Middle East and fled Erinsborough in the middle of the night.
