    Head of the family Justin (James Stewart) is the only remaining Morgan in Summer Bay and is currently struggling with the arrival of his daughter, Ava.

    He is without his siblings Tori and Brody as they departed the Bay for a new life, while youngest of the family, Mason met a devastating end when he was shot dead during a hospital siege.

    As Justin continues life without his siblings, Daily Star has looked at what his on-screen siblings have been up to since they left the soap.

    Tori Morgan – Penny McNamee

    Second sibling Tori arrived in Summer Bay alongside her siblings in May 2016 and became the resident doctor.

    After five turbulent years, Tori moved to London with new husband Christian Green (Ditch Davey) and her daughter Grace.

    Penny, 40, auditioned for several roles before landing the part of Tori and described it as her "dream job".

    Before lighting up screens as the first Morgan sister, Penny carved out an incredibly successful career in musical theatre.

    A triple threat, the former soap star is known for her portrayal of Nessarose in the original Australian cast of Wicked for which she won the 2009 Green Room Award for Best Female in a Featured Role.

    The star originated the role of Jennifer Gabriel in Cameron Mackintosh's production of The Witches of Eastwick in which she was nominated for a Mo Award for Best New Talent.

    Penny lived and worked in America for several years before returning to Australia and during her time in the US, starred in the 2006 horror film See No Evil.

    The mum-of-two has appeared in a number of US dramas such as Elementary and Blue Bloods.

    In 2010, Penny portrayed Hope in Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's HBO miniseries The Pacific.

    In early March, Penny announced she had made an epic comeback to Home and Away, but this time lending her talents elsewhere.

    Taking to Instagram, the actress shared a photo of the credits page which featured her name on it, revealing she is now a writer on the soap.

    Penny isn't the only famous face in her family as she is the older sister of actress Jessica McNamee who starred in Home and Away back in 2007 as well as Hollywood movies The Vow and The Meg.

    She is also the aunt of 19-year-old actress Tegan Croft, while her cousin, Madelaine Collignon is a news presenter for Prime7.

    The Sydney-born star married her high school sweetheart Matt Tooker in 2009 after meeting 10 years prior at school music camp.

    The couple share two children; son Jack and daughter Neve.

    Brody Morgan – Jackson Heywood

    Three years after making his debut as Brody Morgan, Jackson Heywood quit Home and Away and was the first sibling to do so.

    After cheating on wife Ziggy Astoni (Sophie Dillman) with Simone Bedford (Emily Eskell), Brody and Simone left the Bay for a fresh start.

    Shortly after waving goodbye to Brody, Jackson made the most of his freedom as he unveiled a dramatic hair transformation, looking completely different to the character he played for three years.

    Taking to Instagram, the actor shared a selfie which featured him sporting a new look of bleached blonde hair which had been freshly shaven.

    Brody wasn't the first role that brought him to Summer Bay as the 34-year-old originally starred on the soap back in 2009 when he landed the part of Lachie Cladwell.

    Prior Home and Away, Jackson relocated to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the states.

    He landed a guest role in Teen Wolf in 2014 and appeared in two short film projects The Answers and The Weight of Blood and Bones a year later.

    In 2019, Jackson was cast as Young Ray in Stan series Bloom alongside Phoebe Tonkin.

    The Canberra-born star was in a relationship with Zelda Williams, daughter of late actor Robin Williams from 2013 until 2016.

    The actor is currently dating Anneliese Zanchetta, with the couple going public with their relationship on social media in early 2020.

    Mason Morgan – Orpheus Pledger

    Youngest of the family Mason, played by Orpheus Pledger, met the most heartbreaking end in 2019 when he was shot dead during a hospital seige.

    In an interview with TV Week, the 29-year-old confirmed that his departure was a joint decision between himself and the producers.

    Orpheus' career began long before he arrived in Summer Bay as at just eight years old, starred in writer-director Emma Freeman's short film Lamb and appeared in drama series CrashBurn one year later.

    He starred as Tycho Everson in the children's series Silversun has also made appearances in a number of Australian shows including The Secret Life of Us, Welcher & Welcher and Scooter: Secret Agent.

    In 2011, the actor portrayed Noah Parkin on rival soap Neighbours for six months.

    One year after his soap departure, Orpheus revealed he was embarking on a new career of producing music.

    Sharing a snap of himself on Instagram, he penned in the caption: "So happy to be producing music. Can't wait for you all to hear the tracks I have in store for you."

    In February 2021, Orpheus was arrested after being found in possession of drugs.

    The actor reportedly had half a gram of meth and 30 Diazepam tablets on him without a prescription.

    During the hearing at Melbourne Magistrates Court in November 2021, he was placed on a diversion program, which meant he did not have to enter a plea and was spared a criminal record.

    He was also handed a good behaviour order for six months, ordered to donate $150 to the court fund as well as complete a drug awareness course.

    Attempting to move on from his arrest, the actor appeared on SAS Australia in 2022.

    But after just two days on the survival reality show, he quit after refusing to complete mundane tasks.

    Raffy Morgan – Olivia Deeble

    Teen Raffy was a late addition to the Morgan family and was revealed to be the half-sister of the four siblings.

    While the youngster was the product of an affair between Atticus and Kate, she grew up believing the police officer was her uncle.

    Raffy became a core part of the family but left Summer Bay in 2019 after accepting a medical trial in Victoria for her epilepsy.

    After leaving the soap, Olivia starred in the Disney+ film Secret Society of Second-Born Royals, released in 2020.

    The 19-year-old co-created and starred as the titular role in the Paramount+ drama More Than This in 2022.

    The coming-of-age series follows a group of Australian students who face issues surrounding bullying, body image and sexuality.

    Home and Away airs 1:45pm on Channel 5 and 6pm on 5STAR. First-look screenings air at 6:30pm on 5STAR and the show also streams on My5.
