Zara Selwyn, played by Freya Van Dyke, made her first appearance on 3 January 2022.[7] Van Dyke confirmed her casting via her social media, where she also expressed her excitement at joining the cast.[8] Zara is the teenage daughter of established character Amy Greenwood (Jacinta Stapleton), who has been referred to on-screen since Amy's reintroduction in 2020, along with her two brothers. Zara's introduction was revealed in the trailer that followed the 2021 season finale in December, which shows Zara's arrival disrupting Amy's polyamorous relationship with Ned Willis (Ben Hall) and Levi Canning (Richie Morris).[8] Amy is also heard saying that her daughter needs to be her main priority ahead of the relationship.[8] Van Dyke last appeared on screens as Zara on the final episode of Neighbours, broadcast on 28 July 2022.[9]

Zara walks in on her mother in bed with Ned Willis and Levi Canning, after they have just had a threesome. Amy explains that Ned and Levi slept over after an impromptu party, and Zara demands that she takes her out for breakfast. At The Flamingo Bar, Zara explains that she snuck away from home to hang out with Amy because her family does not understand what it is like to be a girl. Zara meets Amy's friend Toadie Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) and gives her mother a Christmas present, which she hopes Amy will hand down to her. Toadie tells Zara to put Amy's alcoholic drink down after she begins drinking it. Later, Amy informs Zara that she is in a polyamorous relationship with Ned and Levi. Zara reacts badly to the news, and the following day treats Amy, Ned and Levi with increased hostility. After Amy gives her an ultimatum to get a part-time job while staying in Erinsborough, Zara reluctantly takes up Ned's offer to work at Harold's Cafe, where she meets Hendrix Greyson (Benny Turland) and learns of his past difficulties in bonding with his father and step-mother. Inspired by Hendrix's story, Zara begins to pursue Levi in an attempt to end her mother's relationships. Zara asks Amy to break up with her boyfriends, so they can enjoy time together, but believes Amy has lied to her when she witnesses her hugging Ned and Levi goodbye. Zara then invites herself into Levi's spa, and accuses him of sexual assault in front of Amy. However, when Amy insists on going to the police if her accusation is genuine, Zara admits it is untrue. Zara apologises to Amy and Levi in a bid to avoid repercussions. While Amy is willing to move on, Levi is unable to and breaks up with Amy.

Meanwhile, Zara is angered by Toadie objecting to her self-entitled behaviour at his house, and spikes the non-alcoholic jelly shots intended for

Nell (Scarlett Anderson). Zara again evades any meaningful punishment by asking to move in with Amy permanently. Zara attends her first day at Erinsborough High, where principal Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne) and teacher Jane Harris (Annie Jones) tell Zara not to alter her uniform in future. Jane introduces Zara to fellow students Sadie Rodwell (Emerald Chan) and Aubrey Laing
(Etoile Little), who soon ditch her. Zara is later disappointed to learn that her mother has purchased a food truck and, in anger, Zara sets off the school's fire alarms in front of Jane. Hendrix tells her to pull her head in, before she returns and floods the school toilets. Zara admits to Amy that she tried to get kicked out of school to spend more time with her, so Amy offers her a job at her food truck. However, the two argue again when Susan phones Amy and tells her about the flooding incident, resulting in Zara pushing Amy and walking off, unaware that Amy's broken ribs have punctured her lung.

As a kid, I tuned in to watch all the drama of Erinsborough unfold, it's surreal to now be a part of that drama!"[12] Roberts' casting occurred shortly after she appeared in Lie With Me, created by Neighbours executive producer Jason Herbison. He stated that the scriptwriters had "created a fascinating character for her that is complex, mysterious and a risk taker, she's going to be a lot of fun and Phoebe has already nailed the role."[12] Her character was also billed as "the ultimate mystery girl" and someone who will "bend the rules" if necessary.[12] Susannah Alexander of Digital Spy observed that while Freya does not share a surname with any of the current characters, there was still a possibility that she has a connection to them or a past character.[12] In a promotional trailer for the show's 2022 episodes, Freya is shown to be a potential love interest for Levi Canning (Richie Morris).[13] Levi first encounters Freya in the aftermath of a fatal weather event at The Flamingo Bar.[10] Freya's last appearance is on 28 July 2022 during the serial's finale.[9]

Levi Canning encounters Freya breaching the security tape around the wreckage of The Flamingo Bar, which is the site of a police investigation following the storm that resulted in the death of

Britney Barnes (Montana Cox). Freya removes a scarf from the bar, and Levi pursues her and demands its return. Freya insists the scarf is hers, but refuses to provide her details for it to be returned. Later, she asks Nicolette Stone about Britney before Sheila Canning (Colette Mann) tells her more about Levi. After leaving Sheila and Levi, she looks at a picture of an unknown man on her phone. Sheila sets Freya and Levi up on a date and they go Baker's Hill Winery. During their date, Freya asks to see photos from Levi's cousin's wedding and she notices Ned Willis
(Ben Hall) wearing the scarf she picked up. Freya asks Ned if the scarf is his and he explains he picked it up while drunk. Freya then proceeds to ask Ned if he knows the unknown man in the photo, who she says is her cousin.

Zara tells them they work together and are friends, and Sadie and Aubrey are surprised when Zara later convinces Hendrix to play frisbee with them. After watching Jane scold Zara for not handing in her homework, Sadie and Aubrey pull a prank on Jane, which Zara gets the blame for. Zara continuously tells Sadie and Aubrey that Hendrix is into her, but they doubt her story as he has a girlfriend, so they ask her to prove it. She sends them photos of a text seemingly from Hendrix declaring his love and an engraved pendent he gave her. The following day, the girls tell Zara that a bin was set on fire at the school and they ask Zara if she did it, but she tells them she was not even on school grounds. Zara wonders if Sadie and Aubrey started the fire to get back at Jane again, but they deny it. Zara learns that Sadie has been given her old job at the café and that she and Aubrey know about the fire outside Jane's house. Zara apologises for accusing them of starting the bin fire, which they accept.

All members of the group are eventually found and return home. Kiri later turns up on Glen's doorstep and tells him that she has been worried about everyone and wanted to check in. She also tells him that she has come to see Nicolette, and Glen encourages her to go for it. Kiri asks Nicolette and asks her out on a date. Over lunch, Kiri explains that her parents have decided to sell River Bend and she is thinking of a change too. Glen later tells Kiri that if she is planning on staying in Erinsborough for Nicolette, then she needs to know that Nicolette is a user and a liar.

She points out that it is not the first thing Nicolette has kept from her and that she is not about drama.

I hope I've done my community proud and you enjoy Asher as much as I enjoyed playing them. Here for a good time, not a long time!"[39] Ebbs found the cast and crew were open to feedback about how Asher should be portrayed and gave them "flexibility" to change things, like Asher's outfits to make them feel comfortable.[40] Ebbs found their time on set to be a "positive experience", as well as a "euphoric experience" as they were the first non-binary person on the show.[40] Iona Rowan of Digital Spy speculated that Asher might end up working at the local café, after an official photograph featuring Ebbs on the set was released by the show.[39] At the end of May, it was confirmed Asher would become a love interest for Nicolette Stone (Charlotte Chimes).[41]

Sam Young, played by Henrietta Graham,[50] made her first appearance on 29 June 2022 in Australia and 9 June 2022 in the UK.[51] The character and Graham's casting was announced on 11 May 2022 via the show's social media, and later confirmed by Rianne Hougton of Digital Spy.[50] Graham's casting came about after she stated that she wanted to appear in Neighbours during an interview with The Age in December 2021.[52] The interview was seen by Fremantle publicist Kelly Davis, who then showed it to show producer Andrew Thompson and they invited Graham to the set. She then auditioned for the role and was cast in April 2022, making her one of the last characters to be introduced before production wrapped in June.[52] Of her casting, Graham commented "I can't believe I'm in my favourite show."[52] She expressed her delight at securing the role and getting to work with her favourite actors.

Thompson said casting Graham, who has

Her arrival occurs during a period of strife for Lassiters, as its staff are facing the consequences of the recently failed Lassiters Fashion Week, which resulted in the general manager being fired.[50] The character was originally announced as Sam Ellis, but was later revealed to be the daughter of Mike Young (Guy Pearce), who returned for the series' final episodes.[9] Pearce is a family friend of Graham's, and requested to work with her as part of his appearance.[53] He also suggested that Sam could be Mike's daughter.[54] Graham's character was named after a "well-known" Neighbours fan and Sam's mother was named after Kate Winslet's Titanic character, Rose.[49] Graham will reprise her role as Sam in a regular capacity for the upcoming Neighbours reboot.[55][56]

Sam is greeted by her new boss Chloe Brennan on her first day at Lassiters, and is told to head inside ready for her induction. A few days later, Chloe thanks Sam for a report and tells her they can do a maintenance check in the conference room if she is up for it. Sam checks that Chloe is okay following the recent death of her stepson. Sam receives help from the hotel's former manager, Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou), while doing jobs for the owner, Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis). She hides the fact that Terese is helping with hotel work from Wendy Rodwell (Candice Leask) and Paul, who congratulates Sam for doing her job well. Sam later asks Chloe how she feels about Lassiters upon hearing that Paul may be buying Terese out of the business. Sam visits Chloe once she learns that she is selling her house and resigning from Lassiter's. Chloe also tells Sam that she has requested the new owner of Lassiter's keeps Sam employed. When Mike Young returns to Erinsborough, it is revealed that Sam is his daughter. Sam has drinks with Mike and his old friends and they decide to visit Ramsay Street. Sam later visits Ramsay Street with her father, and encourages him to rekindle his relationship with Jane Harris (Annie Jones). She is enthused at the prospect of Mike buying 24 Ramsay Street.
