Steven Matheson

Steven

Steven is quiet and studious with an inventive mind. From the word go, he had a charmed life, blessed with loving and caring parents. Everything was perfect in his life until the night of 10 June 1987.

His mate, Danny, who lived across the road had invited him to stay for the night. Steven did so, and in the course of the stay, he heard the sirens coming from fire engines at two in the morning. He discovers his home is on fire, and his parents are trapped. He had more than the death of his parents to overcome, since he has no extended family to care for him. Steven was placed briefly in a home by the Department until they could place him with a suitable family. He has a new home; the Fletchers; he was disturbed who had ongoing nightmares abut his parents' death.

Steven is a good kid, basically; however, he has the potential to be a wonderful human being or a pompous brat. Tom and Pippa were concerned that he may become a brat so they had to fight to keep this nice kid nice.

Steven attended school in Summer Bay High.

Steven had an affair with an older woman, Jennifer, whom he lied to about his age. She taught him everything she knew.

Things turned for the worse; he lost his uncle in the fire. Dodge set the blaze alight in Celia's shop. They were friends until he heard of the death of his uncle.

He left the Bay in 1990 to go to university and later returned five years. Fisher was to pick up a new teacher and was surprised to discover that Steven was the new teacher.

On Marilyn's return to the Bay, Steven and Marilyn went out for a while; however, she decided to cool it off.

Selina fell in love with Steven but he tried to avoid breaching the student-teacher relationship and refused to have an affair with her. As time went on, he gave in, and the scandal rocked the Bay. 

Steven had an affair with Kelly while she was still with Travis, but she managed to push his attention away. It was the same year when his enemy Dodge was out of jail and tried to get revenge on Steven when he kidnapped Kelly.

Steven left the Bay and arrived again a year later. He was to marry Selina, but was left waiting for the missing bride. She was kidnapped by Saul. When Selina was found, she has changed her mind and Steven was hurt.

A year later, when Irene and Marilyn headed for England, Selina was ill and confined to bed. Irene arranged for a surprise visit from Steven and he proposed to Selina. She accepted the proposal, and it was the last time we saw them.

Steven returned to the Bay for Sally's wedding.

ADAM WILLITS

Adam Charles Willits ("why did my parents call me Adam? I dunno. It was just a good name. And Charles was my grandfather") was nine years when he got himself an agent and began performing in amateur musical societies.

He was born on 18 February 1972 in Sydney's North Shore, where he grew up. 

His first TV appearance was a Colgate ad and also did one for Kraft singles.

When he reached the age of twelve, he had appeared in the feature film Marbles for the Australian Film and Television School and the play All My for the Ensemble Theatre.

Adam has since appeared in the feature films Anna, Damsels Be Damned, Weekend of the Lonesome Rustler and Mad Max III. He has also appeared in the TV movie The Perfectionist and was the co-lead with Justine Clarke (Roo) in Maestro's Company.

When Steven left for a new life at university, Adam decided to move on too. During his time away from Summer Bay, he starred in Hampton House, a short-lived sitcom as well as the Home and Away musical which toured around Britain.

Some facts: he has brown eyes and brown hair, he eats anything but pizza is his favourite food.
