When Tori Morgan arrived in Summer Bay, the stomping ground of Home and Away‘s most beloved characters, little did we know that one of its best and purest narratives was about to unfold.
With shaky beginnings, a couple of questionable antics from her rowdy brothers and a shock witness protection program twist, Tori (played by Penny McNamee) fast became our favourite resident doctor at the fictional Northern Districts Hospital.
And there was only one thing that could top off the Summer Bay sweetheart’s tumultuous timeline – another Tori, if you will.
Yes, when the wholesome character welcomed her daughter Grace, conceived via IVF with the late Robbo (still not over this), Tori’s difficult and testing tale seemed to finally see its happy ending.
Well, almost. This is Summer Bay we’re talking about – so while Tori and Grace are the image of mother-daughter love, we’re sure there’s a few twists and turns ahead for them.
That said, we’re forever besotted with the special bond they so clearly share – an empowering narrative in itself given Tori is a single, working mother who is balancing it all and doing what she can to make it work.
To celebrate them, we’ve rounded up a few of their sweetest moments together. Keep scrolling for a little heartwarming boost!
Baby born
After an unexpected labour in a safe house with pal Jasmine by her side, Tori welcomed her little girl. She holds out long enough to cradle her newborn for the first time… before collapsing and falling into a coma.

Luckily, Tori woke from the coma, and while she was a little overwhelmed when she finally held her baby again, there was no doubt Tori was destined for motherhood.
Robbo
Robbo is clearly besotted with his newborn as he holds her in the hospital.
