| - Ned Willis, played by Ben Hall, made his first screen appearance on 6 April 2016. Hall's casting was announced on 11 March 2016, while the character has been referred to for several years following his off-screen birth. Ned is the son of Brad Willis (Kip Gamblin) and Beth Brennan (Natalie Imbruglia). His introduction united all of Brad's children on-screen for the first time. Hall explained that Ned has been living with his grandparents in Darwin. He also said there would be tension between Ned and Brad, explaining "having missed out on a childhood with his immediate family he will now have a different learning experience. Learning how to be a brother and a son, all those things. He gets it right sometimes and he gets it wrong sometimes too." Ned is a tattoo artist and Hall commented that it would lead to some "mischief". He also described Ned as being "very complex" and "quite manipulative", adding "he has had a bit to deal with and it's really interesting how his story line pans out." Ned is invited to Erinsborough by his grandfather Doug (Terence Donovan) and half-brother Josh Willis (Harley Bonner), who hope to reunite him with his father Brad (Kip Gamblin). Ned is staying at Lassiter's Hotel when the boiler explodes. He overhears Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher) telling Hilary Robinson (Anne Scott-Pendlebury) that Josh is dead. He locates Doug in his room and asks Mark Brennan (Scott McGregor) to get Doug to safety as he does not want to risk running into his father. Ned and Brad later reunite outside the hotel, shortly before Doug collapses and dies. Ned is then reunited with his half-sisters Imogen (Ariel Kaplan) and Piper (Mavournee Hazel). He agrees to stay in town for the funerals. Brad's girlfriend Lauren Turner (Kate Kendall) notices a gang tattoo on Ned's chest, but he tells her he was not part of the gang. Ned becomes worried about Piper when she takes her anger out on Stephanie Scully (Carla Bonner) and shows her a video Doug made to help her with her grief.
