Justin Morgan (Home and Away)
Justin Morgan is a fictional character from the Australian television soap opera "Home and Away", played by James Stewart. The actor was contacted by his agent and the head of drama at Seven Network about the role. After hearing their pitch, Stewart auditioned and won the part. He began filming in December 2015, and made his first appearance during the episode broadcast on 7 June 2016. Justin was introduced to the show along with his three siblings; Tori Morgan (Penny McNamee), Brody Morgan (Jackson Heywood) and Mason Morgan (Orpheus Pledger). The family received immediate comparisons to the show's popular Braxton brothers.

Tori secures Justin a job as a deck hand with Alf. Justin is initially annoyed that his sister interfered in his life, but when he gets out on Alf's boat, The Blaxland, he eventually sees that the job is a good opportunity for him. Stewart commented, "Justin is reluctant to go on the boat with Alf in the first place. But once he's there, he does start to enjoy it." Justin bonds with Alf over their shared love of the water and the fact they each have "bossy" sisters. While they are out on the water, the boat breaks down and Justin struggles to fix it. Alf then starts having chest pains and he collapses when he suffers a heart attack. When he realises there is no phone signal, Justin jumps in the water and swims to the shore to fetch help. Stewart called his character "an accidental hero".
Upon their introduction, an "Inside Soap" columnist stated that the Morgans appeared to live a normal life, but they had "a dangerous past" and no one was allowed to know who they really were. The family initially keep to themselves, and Justin warns Tori against befriending local doctor Nate Cooper (Kyle Pryor). He is worried when she admits to telling Nate that their parents are dead, as he does not want Nate looking into it. Stewart explained, "There are a set of rules the Morgans have to live by, which relate to their secret. If Justin has to live by them, then so does the rest of the house." When Mason's former girlfriend Lara Adams (Elle Harris) visits him, Justin asks her to leave. But when she returns, Mason tells her that his family are in witness protection. Brody later reveals that he is being followed, and when Mason says that he spoke to Lara, Justin feels that the family need to leave the Bay.
