The 39th season of Neighbours commenced with Episode 8904 on 18 September 2023, following a 14-month hiatus prompted by the withdrawal of the show's previous UK broadcaster, Channel 5. The Varga-Murphy family, comprising JJ (Riley Bryant), Cara (Sara West), Remi (Naomi Rukavina) and Dex Varga-Murphy (Marley Williams), along with Reece Sinclair (Mischa Barton) and Haz Devkar (Shiv Palekar), were introduced during the same episode. Haz's dog, Trevor (Bodhi), was introduced two episodes later. Eden Shaw (Costa D'Angelo) arrived in October and Reece's younger half-sister, Krista Sinclair (Majella Davis), in November. JJ Varga-Murphy JJ Varga-Murphy, played by Riley Bryant, made his first appearance on 18 September 2023. JJ is part of a new family that were introduced called the Varga-Murphys. He was joined by his parents Cara (Sara West) and Remi (Naomi Rukavina), with the addition of his brother, Dex (Marley Williams). Rukavina revealed that the Varga-Murphys had formed a "special bond" both on and off screen, while West was happy the family would represent the "beautiful LGBTQIA+ community". The show's executive producer, Jason Herbison, expressed his delight about the introduction of the Varga-Murphy's, which would generate "many new stories to tell". It was later revealed in an interview to Digital Spy that JJ would be searching for his biological father. West explained, "JJ has found out some information. They've all come to Ramsay Street for a holiday, but JJ wants to know more about his biological dad. That leads the family to Ramsay Street, because JJ thinks he lives there." JJ drives into Ramsay Street with his family after recommending renting 24 Ramsay Street. He meets Nell Rebecchi (Ayisha Salem-Towner) and Sadie Rodwell (Emerald Chan), as well as the latter's father, Andrew Rodwell (Lloyd Will).

She also hoped the inclusion of the family, fronted by a lesbian couple would "help better reflect the beautiful LGBTQIA+ community" that she proudly comes from. Describing her character, West revealed "Cara has a bold, impassioned love for her family and I love that her intentions have, so far, always been good." The show's executive producer, Jason Herbison revealed that he thought it was appropriate that a new chapter of Neighbours included the arrival of a new family.

She added that her prior filming in the role had "been a great adventure" and the Varga-Murphy's have a "special bond". The show's executive producer, Jason Herbison revealed that he thought it was appropriate that a new chapter of Neighbours included the arrival of a new family. In an introductory video posted via the official Neighbours Instagram page, Rukavina revealed that Remi works as a doctor. Remi and her family drive into Ramsay Street. She meets the neighbours and then helps Mary Ryan (Carissa McPherson) when she chokes, which allows Remi to introduce herself to Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher) as a nurse.

I think the character of Reece is going to be a great role for me to explore and play with." Executive producer Jason Herbison described Reece as "dynamic and unpredictable" and believed the show's viewers in Australia and around the world would love her.
