Robert George "Robbie" Hunter is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Home and Away, played by Jason Smith. He made his first on screen appearance on 25 November 2003. Robbie's storylines have included adjusting to a new stepfamily, a HIV scare, his relationship with and subsequent marriage to Tasha Andrews, standing trial for the murder of his grandfather and becoming a father. Robbie departed on 10 October 2006.
Chris Hemsworth originally auditioned for the role of Robbie, but the producers decided that he was not right for the part. They later cast him as Kim Hyde. Smith then won the role of Robbie. Of his casting, the actor told the official Home and Away website "I really enjoyed the audition process because my character is so full of life. If there was any role on television I wanted to play this would be it." Smith felt coming into a well established show with a strong cast was a good opportunity for him.
Robbie arrives in Summer Bay to live with Beth and her husband-to-be Rhys Sutherland (Michael Beckley). Within the first day of his arrival, he manages to put his future stepsister Jade's (Kate Garven) nose out of joint by mistaking her for her sister, Kirsty (Christie Hayes). Robbie then apologises and Jade accepts.
When Tasha Andrews (Isabel Lucas) goes missing, Robbie uses one of his inventions to catch her but it backfires, leaving him caught. While trying to escape, Robbie is bitten by a snake and Tasha runs for help. After saving his life, Robbie gives Tasha a gift and they become good friends often getting into trouble including incidents of streaking and wagging school. When Kim Hyde (Chris Hemsworth) starts at Summer Bay High in Robbie's Year, they become friends but it quickly sours after Robbie learns Kim has been kissing Tasha. Tasha, after realising she cannot have two boyfriends, reassures Robbie he is the one for her and they reconcile and Robbie repairs his friendship with Kim.
