Home and Away cast 2023 – who plays who?

Home and Away is the only Australian soap currently on the air (although Neighbours will be back soon), still running strong with its regular cast of just over 20 characters.

Ray Meagher – better known to fans as Alf Stewart – continues as the sole remaining original cast member from 1988.

Others such as Lynne McGranger (Irene Roberts), Emily Symons (Marilyn Chambers) and Ada Nicodemou (Leah Patterson) have also had impressive runs.

The rest of the cast tends to refresh itself every few years, with popular stars bowing out and new faces arriving to spice things up. The past year has seen this process continue, with characters like Ryder Jackson, Nikau Parata, Ziggy Astoni and Dean Thompson bowing out, and Lyrik members Kirby Aramoana, Remi Carter and Eden Fowler joining.

We've now put together a one-stop guide to who plays who in Summer Bay, with cast split into the decades they were introduced.

If a current regular isn't the first actor to play their Summer Bay alter ego, we've included them in the decade they landed the role, rather than when the character first appeared.
