Will Griggs
Having arrived in Ramsay Street hiding the secret that his real name was Sebastian Barnes and he was the heir to a multi-million dollar hotel empire, Will started dating Carmella Cammeniti. But it wasn’t long before Paul Robinson recognised ‘Will’ and started blackmailing him when he found out that he was also the mysterious 2% shareholder in Lassiter’s. Although he didn’t want Carmella to fall in love with his money, he realised that he would have to tell her the truth. Unfortunately, the truth came too late and Carmella told him that, with no trust there, she couldn’t continue seeing him. Will then disappeared from Erinsborough and it was left to his older brother, Oliver, to explain that his younger brother’s stories about being a free spirit and going backpacking were all lies, and Carmella hadn’t been the first girl to be taken in by him.
Final Episode: 5132
Final Words: “You can tell Carmella I declined your invitation.”

Katya Kinski
During an eventful year in Erinsborough, Katya faced numerous trials, including a relationship with the insane Robert Robinson, who was later imprisoned. When Max Hoyland mistakenly thought that Robert had escaped and was coming to get Katya, he ran him down, only later finding out that it was actually Robert’s identical twin, Cameron, who died in hospital. A few months later, Katya was just recovering from her own run-in with the police, having become involved with some former criminal friends who were blackmailing her, when she was called to give evidence at Max’s trial. With that out of the way, and Max having escaped with his freedom, Katya decided that a fresh start with new boyfriend Ned Parker was in order. Katya accepted a job with the medical team at the Adelaide Crows football club and headed off with Ned, though his gambling problem led to him deciding to stay behind and take part in a big poker game.

After mistakenly believing that Katya was in danger from her psychotic ex-boyfriend, Robert Robinson, Max ran him down, actually fatally wounding his twin brother, Cameron. Cam’s grieving sister, Elle, then took her revenge by allowing Max to believe that he was losing his mind and, not wanting to be a burden on his family, he disappeared. A couple of months later, Max was spotted by Elle in Waratah Park, where it emerged that he had been staying with some people he met whilst sheltering in a church. In Erinsborough, Max’s wife, Steph, had been moving on with her life and was on the verge of a new romance with old friend Toadie, when Max returned. Steph chose to give her marriage another try, but it quickly became evident that things had changed too much and it couldn’t be saved.

Despite a few hairy moments, the operation went well and both Stingray and Kerry were declared to be in the clear. But, during a street party for Janelle, Stingray's mum, he sat down to take a breather only to suddenly pass away from an aneurysm that had gone undiagnosed.

Dylan kidnapped Paul and pushed him off a cliff, before breaking down and realising that he'd let his little brother down. After realising that Paul was alive and hanging from a ledge, Dylan helped him up, but the anger wouldn't go away. On the day of Stingray's funeral, Dylan trashed the bar and his mum's boyfriend, Senior Sergeant Allan Steiger, was alarmed when Dylan begged to be arrested before he seriously hurt someone. When Kim Timmins risked arrest to return for his son's funeral, Allan agreed to turn a blind eye and suggested that Kim could take Dylan back up north with him, giving him the chance to sort himself out. After saying his goodbyes to Kerry and Sky, as well as his family, Dylan left Erinsborough, with no idea when he'd be back.

Lolly was just trying to spare the feelings of those she was closest to in Erinsborough however, and close friends Harold & Bree could see straight through her act. After Harold pointed out how Lolly really felt to Lou, he surprised Lolly by telling her that he’d arranged for her to return to live with her biological father, John and her siblings.
