She had previously dated Daniel Potts (Ido Drent) whilst overseas and planned to win him back but with Sophie's (Kimberley Crossman) intervention, she ended up with Hunter McKay (Lee Donoghue).
Hunter however slept with Paige Munroe (Rachel Foreman) and it turned out Jill had spent time in prison for armed robbery and assault.

Lars offered Brooke the property of one of his defining researches if she slept with him, however he collapsed and died of a heart attack before he could willingly hand over the papers.
In a sick attempt to steal Jill from her boyfriend Hunter (Lee Donoghue), Regan pretended he was terminally ill – although, ironically, he had experienced a genuine cancer scare the previous year – and when Brodie (Ari Boyland) began researching him, Regan set him up with class A drugs and got drug lords onto him.
When Regan learned Callum McKay (Peter Mochrie) had come into possession of a large sum of money, he stole it through computer hacking and fled Ferndale.
In July Holden and several gang members kidnapped Jill (Natalie Medlock) when Regan refused to give them money over a drug trade problem.

In 2017 TK permitted Tillie to live with the Samuels Whanau away from Ferndale due to the angst he was suffering deeming him unfit to act as parent, having murdered Hayden Crowhurt (Aaron Jackson).
Developing a mutual crush on Wilder Mullens (Felix Jones), she rebuffed a kiss and he fell, sustaining a severe eye injury.
Picking up an interest in Kapa Haka, Tillie fell for one of her fellow students and later began sleeping with him, much to TK's anger.
A 2012 scene that saw Brooke Freeman (Beth Allen) awkwardly attempt to sing a Māori lullaby to Tillie, was voted by fans as the top moment of the season.

Zlata Dobra (née Antonescu, previously Waldheim) was pitched as "Luke's [Durville] (Gerald Urquhart) perfect idea of a vampire bride".
"[14] Producer Steven Zanoski was surprised that a high calibre actor such as Elliott auditioned but was impressed by her convincing Romanian accent and the way she picked up on the character's funny nuances.

Falling the revelation, Zlata's criminal father Costel (Phil Peloton) attempted to murder Bella and the two returned to Romania.
Zlata made a shock reappearance in April 2013 and announced the birth of her and Luke's son, Luca (Charlie Truman), only to discover her ex-fiance had died.

He also began to steal Phoenix's (Geordie Holibar) money and when Ula's mother Vasa (Teuila Blakely) paid him to keep the baby, he ended up fleeing to Australia with the cash.
It was soon clear Costel was extremely violent however when he attacked and threatened Daniel Potts (Ido Drent), and molested Bella Cooper (Amelia Reid).
