An occasional invisible presence in early episodes: apparently Australian TV and radio have a very small staff.

There are also "atmospheric" muffled thunder effects throughout the episode, just so we get the message.Gives details of the drugs raids on McNally's massage parlours, after Kate has tipped off Inspector Grace (252), and in (316) credited as "TV Newsreader" reporting Chrissie's "escape" from hospital.Reporting on Lou's escape (608) and when Lexie is watching TV news (643).For the charity telethon (652).Reads the news of the robbery of two bookies in which Lorelei was involved (656).Reading the radio news of Merle's "escape" (672)Reporting on the forest fires in (597) but, as the credit implies, only in voiceover.Jim and Leila's son, younger brother of Matthew.

When he gets obsessed with Meg and throws a rock through her window, Bob agrees to give him a job and a room in their house, challenging him to make something of his life (204). Unfortunately, he develops a crush on Meg and becomes jealous of Bob. After getting drunk in a bar and throwing a rock through a window, he is taken back to prison for breaching his parole (208).Nicky (Dog) (Nicky)
Shane's dog (463)-(474). A versatile little actor who does an affecting "play dead" and a exciting "fetch", which is one more expression that his human owner.Investigating Paddy's murder by Nola McKenzie (339). He (or one of the other police officers in the same episode) is referred to in dialogue as Det Gilbert.One of Queenie's associates in the plot to try to frighten Nikki Lennox (572)-(573).One of the teenage delinquents sent on a day scheme to Wentworth to "scare them straight". Nikki is the worst of the bunch, accused of mugging pensioners. Nora is not impressed when Nikki pulls a knife on her (568) but Nikki spends the next evening robbing a chemist and putting the blame on Joanne, another of the juveniles. Nikki gets above her station by attempting to blackmail Joan over her affair with Terri Malone (569). Nora and the other women trick Nikki into helping with an "escape" using the recently released Queenie to put the fear of God in her with her "thugs" (one of whom is an outrageous bald queen who wouldn't frighten anyone with half a brain). Other prisoners (like Lou) become convinced there actually is an escape plan and want to be in on it: Nikki eventually tells Lou there is no such plan (574).Rents a room to May and Willie while they are on the run (583).First seen fighting with Monica for top dog position while Bea is in hospital (30).

Erica has her transferred to Barnhurst for her own protection when the work release is cancelled after this incident (132). The credits usually spell the name as Noeline not Noelene.The last person to see Marty Jackson alive when he has apparently died fighting the forest fires. She tells the story of the heroic rescue of her dog (649) . Not credited until (650).Oddly likeable baddie: possibly due to a distinctly surrealist likeness to Linda Blair (in head spinning mode) in "The Exorcist". More details.One of the prisoners transferred from Barnhurst after the fire (537). Jailed for murder of 3 hitch hikers. Becomes top dog. Escapes through the ventilation system (588). Despite Terry Bourke's book, she is not "finished off" by Reb Kean, but killed by Harry Bassinger and her body dumped just inside the perimeter fence.First seen at Colleen's farewell party (456), which is strange as Joyce's husband had previously been a completely different man.
