Dr Cavanagh's first few years in the show saw him appear occasionally on medical-related matters, but viewers have been introduced to his family this year.
Louisa Clein has been appearing since March as Liam's wife Maya, alongside Mimi Slinger as their daughter Leanna.
Over the next few episodes, we'll see the Cavanagh family thrown into some classic soapy drama as Maya starts growing closer to David Metcalfe.
