Henri later becomes attracted to her student, and Heath's brother, Casey (Lincoln Younes). Henri and Casey kiss twice, which leaves the audience wondering whether "a full-blown teacher-pupil relationship" could be about to happen. Younes said he was "worried and excited" about the controversial storyline and added "I think for the moment, it's going to be that playful, dangerous line between risk-taking and the possible repercussions that could come. Right now, it's hard to say where this will go." A writer from TV Buzz said that "Henri may be an excellent teacher, but were not sure she should be tutoring young Casey in lessons of love."

## Natalie Davison

Natalie Davison, played by Catherine Mack, made her first appearance on 16 May 2012. The character and casting was announced on 6 May 2012. Mack revealed to Luke Dennehy of the Herald Sun that the role of Natalie "came out of the blue". She explained "I was settled in Los Angeles and when they asked me to send an audition tape, I didn't think much of it. In January I got a call from my agent in Australia and he said 'come back straight away'. I didn't pack anything up because I thought it would be a quick trip." The actress called the role her dream job and said she had always wanted to live in Sydney, where the show is filmed. Natalie is a school counsellor, who helps Sasha Bezmel (Demi Harman) and Casey Braxton (Lincoln Younes). A writer for Channel 5 said she would "have her work cut out for her" due to the amount of teen drama in Summer Bay. Mack said that while Natalie initially appears in her "professional capacity", viewers would slowly start to see aspects of her private life. She told Colin Vickery of The Advertiser: "She hasn't had a whole lot of experience in her field but her work is her life."
Mack described her character as having "a very selfless quality and determination to help others that I really admire." She stated that Natalie "is passionate and strong", but she does have flaws, adding that Natalie went through some tough times as a teenager, which forced her to grow up quickly. When asked if Natalie interacts with the Braxton brothers, Dan Ewing (who plays Heath Braxton) quipped to a TV Week writer that she has "no direct cuddles" with his character. In June 2012, it was revealed Natalie would become Darryl Braxton's (Steve Peacocke) love interest. Mack said Natalie finds Brax interesting and she is trying to work out who he is and what he is about. Natalie tries to help Casey after he shoots his father dead, which complicates the romance between herself and Brax. She thought the relationship allowed for the chance to show a new side of Brax. She explained "There are a few dark twists and turns that come up that make Brax not have that flirty relationship he had with (former girlfriend) Charlie (Esther Anderson). They're thrown together."
In 2013, Mack received a nomination for the Most Popular New Female Talent Logie Award. In June that year it was announced that Mack had decided to leave Home and Away and that she had already filmed her final scenes. The actress told a TV Week reporter "It was time for Natalie to leave the Bay, as she had some unfinished business with her family to attend to. She really needed to move forward with her life." Mack added that she had enjoyed her experience on the show and was looking forward to the future.
Natalie moves into her new office at Summer Bay High and meets with Sasha Bezmel. Natalie also starts counselling sessions with Casey Braxton, who opens up to her about his father. She tells him to meet his father if he wants to, but his brother, Brax, asks Natalie not to interfere in their lives. Natalie grows concerned for Casey when his father, Danny (Andy McPhee), is released from prison. Natalie grows closer to Brax, prompting him to tell her about Danny's violent past. Natalie and Brax have a one-night stand. Jett James' (Will McDonald) foster mother, Gina Austin (Sonia Todd), asks Natalie to counsel him after his biological father rejects him. However, Natalie realises that she cannot counsel Jett without his full co-operation and consent. Brax becomes worried when Casey spends more time Danny and they disappear from the Bay. He and Natalie learn that Danny is planning to rob a local bar and they go to find Casey. Shortly after getting to the bar, they hear a shot and find Casey has shot Danny.

Natalie and Brax find Casey and he tells them about a mysterious girl named Tamara Kingsley (Kelly Paterniti) who helped him. Natalie initially thinks Casey was hallucinating. Back home, Natalie learns that she must make a statement at Casey's court case. Natalie's testimony is considered questionable and Casey is told that he must check into a detention centre each weekend. Natalie asks Zac MacGuire (Charlie Clausen) to watch over Casey in prison and Brax thanks her. Brax later breaks up with Natalie. She grows closer to Zac and they start dating, however, Zac becomes annoyed with her constant dealings with the Braxtons. Natalie and Brax continue to argue and they eventually confess their love for one another, but she decides to stay with Zac. Zac later tells Natalie to choose between himself or the Braxtons and she distances herself from them. After Brax is shot by Adam Sharpe (Martin Lynes), Natalie becomes concerned for his welfare. Zac accuses Natalie of still being in love with Brax and she admits that he is right and that she is not over Brax. Zac and Natalie break up and Zac realizes that the reason Natalie clung to the Braxtons was due to her trying to fill a void in her life caused by her mother leaving her as a child. Zac resolves to help Natalie overcome her issues and when he discovers that Natalie's mother is still alive, Natalie then leaves the Bay to go and find her.

## Danny Braxton

Daniel "Danny" Braxton, played by Andy McPhee, made his debut screen appearance on 30 May 2012. The character was announced on 14 May 2012, while McPhee's casting was revealed in January 2012.

A reporter for The West Australian commented "If you thought Home and Away's River Boys were tough, wait until you meet their dad." A TV Week writer stated details about the Braxton's brothers' father "have been few and far between" since their arrival, but that would all change when Heath visits Danny in prison. Ewing explained that after Heath's son is born, he realises he has a lot of questions about his father and why he left the family. He wants to make peace with Danny, so he will feel like a better father towards his son. The TV Week writer explained that there is not a happy family reunion, with Danny's desertion and his criminal past still sore points for Heath. Ewing told the writer "Heath definitely resents his father mainly because he idolised him so much when he was a young teenager. So it's pretty icy and there's a lot of pent-up anguish and emotion." Danny surprises Heath by admitting that he regrets a lot of the things he did in the past, like throwing his family away. Roz Laws from the Sunday Mercury called Danny a "deadbeat dad".
Heath visits Danny in jail and receives an icy reception from him. They eventually relax into conversation and Danny reveals that he has regrets about letting his family go. Brax also visits Danny and realises he has not changed. He tells his father to give up his dream of freedom and Danny reveals that he was not aware Heath is trying to get him out. Brax later returns to the jail with Casey and Heath begins an appeal to free Danny. Danny attends his court hearing and is later freed. He turns up in Summer Bay and Brax allows him to spend the night at his house. Danny later moves into the caravan park and befriends Marilyn Chambers (Emily Symons). Danny tells Brax that he wants his money back and starts playing games with him. Danny invites Marilyn out to dinner, while some guys that he hired knock Brax out and leave him in the bush. When Casey confronts his father, Danny manages to lie his way out of it. Danny hints to Brax that he is going to get his money back from his ex-wife, Cheryl, and Casey becomes aware of Danny's darker side. Danny learns that Ruby Buckton (Rebecca Breeds) has a lot of money and he befriends her, hoping to scam her out of the money. When Heath tells Danny about his son's progress in hospital, Danny does not seem to care. Heath confronts him and Danny lashes out, making Heath realise that he has not changed.
Brax tells Danny to leave Casey alone, but he refuses. Danny is visited by Kyle Bennett (Nicholas Westaway), who gives him a gun and a fake passport. Danny learns that Casey has double crossed him, when Ruby moves into Summer Bay House. Danny attacks Casey, but he pretends to still be on his side. Casey accompanies his father to a motel and Danny robs the bar. They are caught by the owner and Danny pulls out his gun, forcing the owner to open the safe. Danny realises Casey is on Brax's side and asks him to shoot the owner. Casey refuses and shoots Danny instead. Danny is rushed to hospital, but dies in surgery.

Digital Spy's Daniel Kilkelly reported that Lincoln Younes had been tweeting about Westaway joining the cast and revealed that he had been listed as a Home and Away series regular on his agency profile. He added "The page names his character as Kyle Braxton, so it seems that recent arrival Danny won't be the last addition to the family!" In September, Kyle kidnaps Casey Braxton (Younes) and holds him hostage in the desert. Younes told TV Week's Erin Miller "There has certainly been someone watching him for few weeks, which you've seen snippets of, and the inference is that it's related to his dad."

Of Tim and Roo, Pasvolsky explained "He was married and had an affair with her – he was completely in love with her – but chose in the end to go back to his wife. And then, subsequently, that's fallen through and he's realised that Roo was the love of his life." Tim tries to win Roo back and he does not take no for an answer.

She revealed that she was initially nervous about joining Home and Away, saying "There is the fear that at some point you are going to be in a bikini, and that did play on my mind.

Tamara became involved in a love triangle with Casey Braxton (Lincoln Younes) and Sasha Bezmel (Demi Harman) in late 2012. Paterniti revealed that things would become more complicated for the trio in 2013.

While Darryl Braxton (Steve Peacocke) welcomes his "former mentor", his brother, Heath (Ewing) does not. Ewing said "Heath went to jail when he was younger and he blames Adam for that. Adam's a bad egg, but he's charming and has lots of money, so he's not the clichéd nasty guy."

He added that he was working a lot with Ada Nicodemou who plays Leah Patterson-Baker.
Nicodemou revealed that when Leah and Jamie see each other at a fundraising night, there is "an attraction across the room". Leah thinks Jamie is "very cute" and when he later approaches her, they share a kiss. Leah is hesitant about starting a romantic relationship with Jamie, especially as she has a young son and there is an age gap between them. However, Jamie does not mind their age difference and begins sending Leah lots of text messages asking for a date. Leah eventually agrees to go out with him and Nicodemou explained "On the date, Jamie's very open and interested in finding out about VJ. He opens up about his own family, and Leah really feels for him." Following the date, Leah invites Jamie to spend the night with her and Nicodemou thought that there was "definitely chemistry" between them. The next day Jamie starts "showering" Leah with gifts, which makes her feel uncomfortable.
Claire Crick from All About Soap called Jamie "creepy" and stated "At first, his gifts seemed sweet, but what appeared to be innocent enough soon turned sinister when Leah told Jamie she wasn't interested, so he trashed the Diner… Um, that's not really how normal people deal with rejection, Jamie!" Crick went on to say that she did not blame Leah for running away and thought that viewers had not seen the last of "Jamie's weird ways".
Jamie attends a fundraiser at Angelo's Restaurant in Summer Bay and catches the eye of Leah Patterson-Baker.
