josie appears when irene roberts (lynne mcgranger) and dylan russell (brett hicks-maitland) track her down at her brothel in the city. due to her profession, irene wants josie to keep her distance from tasha andrews (isabel lucas), the daughter of josie's cousin, angie. josie's uncanny identical appearance to angie causes a stir when she arrives in summer bay to connect with tasha. tasha gets along well with josie but irene is against her being in tasha's life.
