For Robbie's 17th birthday, he receives a car to his surprise as he feels that he would never be trusted after wrecking Tasha's guardian Irene Roberts' (Lynne McGranger). At Robbie's party which he shares with Hayley Smith (Bec Cartwright) for her 21st, the keys are stolen and the culprit is Duncan Stewart (Brendan McKensy), who causes a major accident involving Jade and her boyfriend Seb Miller (Mitch Firth). Robbie later finds himself embroiled with a feud with Duncan when he begins harassing and blackmailing Tasha with the knowledge that the late Angie Russell (Laurie Foell) is her mother and Robbie lashes out. The feud comes to a head after Duncan pulls a gun on Robbie and Kim and later leaves the Bay.
