Fay Brennan, the mother of Tyler, Mark and Aaron Brennan (and Chloë, although at the time she had yet to appear in the soap), makes her first appearance in this episode. The original plan was that Russell Brennan, the father of the four aforementioned, would be back after having appeared on-screen previously, but Russell Kiefel, the man who played him before, sadly passed away before this could happen. The mother filled the gap instead.
