About Robbie
Robbie arrived in late 2003 in episode 3647 as a guest role and became a regular at the beginning of the 2004 season. As the middle child of the Hunter clan, he was quite eccentric and odd, as he was always trying to come up with new and crazy inventions (all of which rarely got off the drawing board and when they did, never worked as planned!) and made out of place comments to the Sutherland clan. His intentions are usually always good, but they almost always end up in disaster. Robbie was also a bit of a klutz. For example, when Tasha Andrews went missing, Robbie had designed an invention to catch her, but only ended up catching himself. And when he escaped, he was bitten by a snake. But after Tasha found him and went to get help, they became friends, and eventually lovers. In 2005, Robbie "married" Tasha, only to be dumped by her at the end of the season when she joined a Sydney-based cult called The Believers. They later reconciled after getting married for real.

Robbie and Tasha got their own place and allowed Amanda, their school teacher and at that time Robbie's brother's girlfriend to stay with them. However, when Amanda faked a pregnancy to get Scott back, Robbie kicked her out. Amanda, depressed and lonely, found comfort in Graham Walters, Robbie's and Scott's grandfather. When finding out that he was rich, Amanda married Graham much to the dismay of the Hunter family. Robbie did not get on well with Amanda his new step-grandmother, particularly when Graham bought Robbie's flat and then he and Amanda moved in and telling Robbie and Tash to leave.

Graham then suffered a heart attack and went into a coma. Pitying his grandfather, who was in a coma, Robbie switched off Graham's life-support machine even though his step-grandmother Amanda legally had the right to keep it on. He did not tell anyone about his actions.

When Mayor Josh West was murdered, Robbie alongside his wife, Tasha, mother, Beth and step-grandmother, Amanda all became a suspect in his murder. Robbie even confessed but retracted it when his moments didn't tally with the real murderer's.

In Late 2006, pending a confession to close friend Martha Holden, Robbie was arrested and charged with his grandfather Graham Walters' death. Robbie was found guilty, but was released at what would be his sentencing. Following this, Robbie, Tasha and their daughter Ella left to live with Tasha's first cousin once removed, Josie Russell in America.
