List of Home and Away characters introduced in 2015

Ryan Kelly, played by Daniel Webber, made his first screen appearance on 17 February 2015. Webber is the real-life flatmate of Nic Westaway, who plays Kyle Braxton. After being cast as Ryan, he told Westaway that he would be stalking his on-screen girlfriend Phoebe Nicholson (Isabella Giovinazzo). Westaway recalled "He said, 'I'm stalking your girlfriend'. Then he added, 'on the show'." Stephen Downie branded Ryan "a mysterious peeping Tom" and added "we get the vibe he doesn't seem like the sort of guy who'll settle for an autograph."

After arriving in Summer Bay, Ryan goes to the diner and tells Roo Stewart (Georgie Parker) that he is in the Bay to meet a girl. He spots Phoebe Nicholson and tells Roo that he is a fan of hers. He follows Phoebe home and watches her from the bushes. Ryan talks to her the following day and is spotted by John Palmer (Shane Withington) looking through the window of her house. Ryan sees Phoebe's boyfriend Kyle Braxton leave town and later shows up at her house, telling Phoebe he knows she is alone. Phoebe tries to get Ryan to leave, but he tells her he wants to help as she is not safe. Phoebe's screams alert John and Ryan leaves. The following day, Ryan is questioned by Katarina Chapman (Pia Miller) and told to stay away from Phoebe, who also gets an AVO. Phoebe's boyfriend, Kyle, and Ash (George Mason) threaten Ryan. After learning the Braxton house is empty, Ryan breaks in and plants a camera in Phoebe's bedroom. He later returns and kidnaps Phoebe. He forces her to wear a white dress and he cleans the make-up off her face, telling her he preferred her previous image and music. Ryan asks Phoebe to sing "Amazing Grace" and during the performance, Phoebe kicks him in the groin and manages to open the door, where Kyle is waiting. Ryan is then arrested by Katarina. She later informs Phoebe that Ryan pleaded guilty to stalking and kidnap, and he is being held in a psychiatric facility. Provided by Wikipedia
