List of Home and Away characters (2016)
Justin Morgan, played by James Stewart, made his first screen appearance on 7 June 2016. The character and Stewart's casting was announced on 5 December 2015, alongside Jackson Heywood and Orpheus Pledger, who play Justin's brothers. The actors began filming their first scenes during the week commencing 7 December. Justin is Stewart's first on-going role since he took a year off to care for his young daughter. Like Heywood, Stewart expected Braxton brothers comparisons, but he told Jonathon Moran of The Daily Telegraph, "Creating this family is probably more our priority than taking over the Brax boys. How do you take on Steve Peacocke (Brax)? I hope Australia is ready for it, it is the way it is." In August 2017, Stewart was longlisted for Best Daytime Star at the Inside Soap Awards. The nomination did not progress to the viewer-voted shortlist.
List of Home and Away characters (1989)
Adam Cameron played by Mat Stevenson debuted on-screen during the episode airing on 28 June 1989. Stevenson had previously guested on rival soap opera "Neighbours" on Network Ten as petty criminal Skinner. In an interview with "The Sun-Herald", he said that the chance to play Adam was a role-reversal and part in "Neighbours" helped him become more level-headed. Stevenson chose to move from his native Melbourne to Sydney for filming. Stevenson quit the serial in 1994 Stevenson describes Adam is "a bit of a layabout" who is "capable of a kind word and good deed every now and then". However, Adam would "rather not" do either if doing so "interferes with having a good time or a lazy time". Stevenson said that he liked playing Adam, but noted he was nothing like his character because he is more responsible than Adam is. A columnist for "Inside Soap" said that Adam is a "one-time joker" and a "happy-go-lucky type of character".
Stevenson returned for a guest stint in 1999 and admitted that not much had changed on the series. Stevenson told writer Jason Herbison of "Inside Soap" that he enjoyed playing Adam again so much that he considered asking the producer for a full-time return.
