Backstory[]
Cash grew up in a farm with his parents and younger sister, Felicity. His mother died when he was really young. According to Felicity, Cash had a massive crush on his 2nd Grade teacher, Miss Ryan and on his birthday, Cash and his family went to a Chinese restaurant and Cash saw his teacher at the same restaurant with her boyfriend, leaving Cash devastated.
When Cash was 12, his father committed self harm due to the farm drought and both kids were raised in a foster care with their father's close friends Katherine and Gary Morrow. Although Cash remains close to Gary, Felicity can't see a future with him and his wife so she ran away from home. Years later in 2022, Cash invites Gary to visit Summer Bay and meet Felicity again - yet again, she pushes him away from her life and threw him out of the house. Cash talked to Felicity who was beside the pool at night after having dinner with Gary and Rose and mentions that Katherine's gone and that Gary is all they both have left. He also mentions that if she doesn't do it for herself or wont do it for Gary, to try for him.

First Appearance/Susie McCallister Homicide Investigation
Cash arrives to Summer Bay as the new Senior Constable officer. He began to investigate the murder case of Susie McCalister - and his main suspect at the moment was Justin Morgan as we often see him interrogating Justin over long periods of time. He also learns the truth about Jasmines past from Constable Murray. Officer Cash removes Dean from Salt Cash comes over to see Jasmine;
Organophosphate Poisoning
During the 2021 mid season blockbuster, Summer Bay residents flock to Salt to attend a Martha Stewart's fundraising gala, little did they know, the air ventilation system was sabotaged with organophosphate fumes and that downstairs Tane had collasped due to it. Meanwhile, sitting directly underneath the air conditioning vent that the chemicals are being expelled through, Martha tells Alf and Marilyn that she’s suddenly started to become a bit light-headed.
As Martha tries to stand up, she felt dizzy and knocks over some glasses. Amongst all the commotion, Cash notices a mysterious mist coming out of the vent above. He orders everyone to move away from the air vents and to cover their faces with cloth and napkins while trying to shut all windows and doors, leaving Justin and Jasmine stranded out on Salt's balcony. Cash asks Mackenzie to call the emergency services, specifically requesting a HAZMAT team, he then tells the crowd that there is a leak of toxic contamination and the building is now in serious lockdown.
While the HAZMAT team search the gym downstairs, they found a rose that was placed on Tane's lifeless body, immediately flashbacking to the exact same rose that Felicity gave him days before. He heads straight over to the Felicity’s caravan that evening, but decides to not tell her yet. But the next day, when Felicity saw the chaos at the surf club and is told what happened by John, she quickly puts two and two together and realises that Cash thinks that she did it.
Later while Jasmine was hanging out with Felicity she found a receipt for organophosphate content which she then pockets and revealed to Cash. When confronting Felicity, she kept denying and said that she was being set up - which was not a good enough reason to convince Cash that she didn't intend to hurt Tane with the poisoning. The FEDs and Forensic services came to investigate the gym and one of the FED's top detective makes his first appearance - (Detective Darren Nasser) by introducing himself to Cash and inspecting the contaminated gym.
Later during the overcoming weeks, Cash gradually starts to believe Felicity's story and decided to burn the receipt and lied to the head detective of finding any leads of evidence. The detective then decided to search Felicity's van and had found traces of the substance. When Jasmine later talks to Flick at the surf club and tries to defend Cash, pointing out that he destroyed evidence for her, Flick points out that she never asked him to burn the receipt. This is overheard by Anne, her close friend, who later questioned Flick on what they were talking about, but Flick tells her to mind her own business.
Shortly afterwards, an anonymous post on social media mentions that the police should be “looking into the missing burnt pesticide receipt“. Detective Darren was going out to arrest Felicity but Cash tried to intervene, resulting him to giving up his badge and he was taken off the case. When he went to the caravan park, Felicity had done a runner. They didn't know that she was kidnapped by Anne in a room with Tane in a remote area.
