Evan Cooper

Evan Cooper was the only boy in the Cooper family who arrived in August 2010. Wendy (Jacqueline Nairn) suspected her son of using the hospital social clubs credit card, however it turned out to be his sister Jasmine (Pearl McGlashan). Evan started to drink to spite his father Murray (Matthew Chamberlain) who had been absent for a majority of Evans life. He faced potential spine damage when he drunkenly fell from a tree and later ran away from home and accidentally set alight to a building he had been living in. He received community service for his crimes and before long Evan developed a crush on his nemesis Ula Levi (Frankie Adams). Evan and Ula began to date and he pretended to be the father of her baby before the two broke it off despite Evan still having feelings for her. He eventually controversially moved on to nurse Kylie (Kerry-Lee Dewing) and started a cleaning business with the help of Rachel McKenna. Kylie left him and Evan began to date foster sister Dayna Jenkins (Lucy Elliott). The business fell through and Evan started to attend university before he broke it off with Dayna and fell in love with married women Marnie Dougan (Hannah Gould). However, after his parents meddled in his affair, Evan decided to take a job as a kitchen hand on a boat sailing the world. He departed in September 2014. Bella (Amelia Reid-Meredith) and Murray Cooper (Matthew Chamberlain) visited Evan in Fiji the following year.

In January 2016, Evan returned to Ferndale after his mother's (Wendy Cooper) life support was turned off. Wendy was shot in the heart during the 2015 Cliffhanger Episode which saw gunman Gareth Hutchins hold the 2015 Children's Christmas Party hostage. Evan stayed for the funeral, then departed Ferndale, taking a flight out the next morning to return to his cruise ship job.
