Characterisation and introduction In a video posted to the serial's
YouTube channel, Morris revealed that, following questioning from fans, he was the son of Frank Canning Jr., another character created, who is Sheila's son. Morris called his first scene "surreal" and said he was "nervous as" and "kept having to pinch" himself because he was in front of Mann and Milligan. Within his first month of appearances, Morris said, "I've received some really loving fan messages that I'm also very thankful for." Later, Levi tells Roxy about "one disturbing night from his childhood", where he was attacked by burglars while playing with a toy train in his home in
Frankston, which gave him his epilepsy. Charlie Milward of
Daily Express named the event Levi's "tragic past". Morris' character explained that the incident "deeply scarred" him and caused "nightmares for years", while the fear of the burglars returning was always in his mind. A few months later, Levi's superior at work,
Dax Braddock (Dean Kirkright), discovers his condition and blackmails him, before swapping out his medication and causing him to have another seizure. Levi is found and forced to tell his family the truth.
Relationship with Bea Nilsson Producers decided to pair Levi and Bea together in a romantic relationship with a long build-up. Levi and Bea develop feelings for each other as their friendship grows tighter and they continue confiding in each other, but "nothing happens between them" for months. As they "continue to show romantic potential", Levi ends up rejecting Bea twice and she decides to wait for him to make a move first, but Levi "puts some distance" between them. Producers then decided to introduce
Nathan Packard (
Jackson Gallagher) to the serial, who would serve as a "rival" for Levi and a plot device to ultimately progress Levi and Bea's relationship. It turns out that Nathan was one of Levi's childhood attackers, who Kyle contacts to try and give Levi some closure. Levi is unaware of Nathan's identity and jealously watches Bea "enjoying the company of Nathan". Gallagher explained, "Sparks fly and there ensues the love triangle, because Bea and Levi are on again, off again." Nathan reveals his identity in an apology letter which he sends to Levi and Sheila also meets with him to make amends, whilst Bea "is left questioning her taste in men." Bea finds Levi the following week to inform him that she will be going on a date with Nathan, but she soon becomes aware of his "obvious sadness". Roxy, aware of Levi's feelings, tells Bea of how Levi feels about her and Kilkelly reported that she would be "annoyed that Levi wasn't honest about his feelings when he had every chance to ask her out". It was announced on 28 December 2020 that Levi and Bea would be in some "romantic scenes" together, as things "remain awkward between them", but their family and friends are keen for them to start a relationship. At a Christmas party, Levi is paired with Bea during a game of charades and both guess each other's answers repeatedly, showing that they are "very compatible", and they kiss under the mistletoe at the end of the night after they talk about their feelings with one another. Lee thought their kiss was "About time!" Lee announced on 5 March 2021 that Anderson had quit her role as Bea, meaning that Levi's "blossoming" relationship with her would be ending in the coming months. Feeling confident about their relationship, Levi organises a surprise road trip for himself and Bea, however Bea begins to feel doubts about where their relationship is going and breaks up with Levi, before heading on the road trip by herself. The split leaves Levi "blindsided and heartbroken by the break up". Morris explained, "He feels a sense of emptiness. From the break-up to her leaving happening so quickly, he didn't have the time to really process it." To "find ways to distract himself", Levi finds himself "turning to alcohol" and destroys a billy cart he was making with Bea. Levi becomes involved in
The Flamingo Bar's Longest Workout Competition on a makeshift, "rushed" and "shaky" stage, before Levi gets "badly injured". Morris told Digital Spy that Anderson's exit "was honestly such a shock!" Reflecting on his character's relationship with Bea, Morris said, "I think they both had different perspectives on life a bit. Levi wasn't comfortable with living in a grey area where he wasn't sure of certain things with Bea. And maybe Levi tried to overcompensate by flooding her with signs of gratification and love – it might have been a little too suffocating for Bea. They have different love languages. Levi now struggles to comprehend what's happened. When something ends so abruptly, it's hard to wrap your head around it and make sense of it. So Levi goes to being in his shell, to being full of rage and crying. So it's a rollercoaster of emotions for him." Levi "struggles with his emotions" and turns to Yashvi for support. Morris explained, "Realising just how much this whole situation affects him makes him really consider it." Junkeer explained, "Yashvi desperately wants to help Levi. They've developed this really strong friendship. They know they're there for each other no matter what. All Yashvi cares about is taking down Mitch and Nelson, for Levi's sake." Mitch and Nelson then threaten Sheila, who is "rattled", outside the police station. Levi and Yashvi continue watching the pair and Mitch meets with Yashvi to reveal that he wishes to change and that Nelson forces him to act maliciously. He asks Yashvi for police protection, but Levi does not allow it, before watching Mitch from afar go to a warehouse and smuggle stolen drones with Nelson. Morris explained in a behind the scenes video, "Everyone freaks out a little bit. Everyone gets a bit frantic because they're kind of like, 'I hope I get to do the stunts' but at the same time, 'Am I gonna die?' But then once we get the scripts and everything looks cool, then it's just pure excitement. All I had to do was hang upside down. We had these harnesses and then they just chucked us in the car upside down and then hooked us up into the seat. It felt unreal." Morris also explained that the "majority of all the stunts is prepping for the actual stunt day." He added that there were many stunt coordinators, who wanted limited takes in order to not waste resources. Morris also claimed that there was "a lot of excitement and anxiety" to get the "stunts perfect because it's massive, budget-wise, the extras and the actual cars flipping, everything, it's massive." Levi finds Mitch and Nelson in the bush and arrests them. When Mitch taunts Levi once more by asking if he was still a little boy, Levi pushes him to the ground.
Polyamory Levi begins developing feelings for
Amy Greenwood (
Jacinta Stapleton), who also has feelings for Levi, but also for
Ned Willis (Ben Hall). Stapleton said of the storyline, "Ned appeals to her sensitive side, and Levi is amusing to her. And frankly, they're both very pretty!" Ned later suggests to Levi and Amy that the three of them embark on a
polyamorous relationship and, while Levi and Amy are initially reluctant, they listen to Ned and agree to give it a go. Hall expanded on Amy and Levi's reactions by saying, "Amy and Levi were shocked when Ned first brought it up. Ned and Levi aren't particularly close. Ned and Amy are also pretty fresh, and Ned has only recently come out of a relationship with Yashvi. I think they were surprised that Ned would be willing to suggest it – maybe they didn't think that he would be so open-minded. They definitely sit down and come up with some ground rules, as they think it's all going to implode on them. Karl and Kyle are both very intrigued by how that works, so there's a lot of questions. They definitely have to have some pretty solid rules." The relationship marks the serial's first polyamorous relationship. Stapleton said, "I think we should always try to reflect real intimate relationships in our society. Polyamory certainly is a part of that. The more we represent the beautifully diverse nature and uniqueness of humans, the more people will feel accepted and seen." Levi's mum,
Evelyn Farlow (
Paula Arundell), arrives in Erinsborough and agrees with Sheila's position on the relationship. Amy's attempts to befriend Evelyn fail and they have a "heart-to-heart" discussion about the "unconventional" relationship. Joe Anderton of Digital Spy described Evelyn's views as "
conservative" and Evelyn leaves town when Levi reassures her of his feelings for Amy. Hall later revealed that he, Morris and Stapleton "were surprised" when first learning of the storyline. He added, "But there are only so many storylines that
Neighbours hasn't covered before and this is one of them. It was cool and it's interesting to explore." Levi meets
Felicity Higgins (
Isabella Giovinazzo) and goes on a date with her, where the two get along very well. Giovinazzo elaborated on Levi and Felicity's dates, "Their dates are really fun. They keep meeting in the same place and they talk for hours, laughing and teasing each other. Then later on, a little bit more sexual tension starts to develop, but it's something that is discovered. It's not there initially. I don't know if Levi used to have that in his relationship with Amy, but because of the tension of the polyamorous relationship, it's dissipating a bit so he finds that in Felicity instead. Then, as they start to get to know each other, it becomes more than that." Giovinazzo said that Felicity isn't initially aware of Levi's polyamory. Giovinazzo also explained, "He keeps Amy a total secret. Then Felicity messages Levi post-date because it went well, but she doesn't receive a reply. Levi passes it off as losing his phone, but in actuality, Amy took it and threw it in a lake! So there's a bit of confusion there. Things like that continue to happen, as Amy is not frustrated or jealous, but she doesn't know what to do with Felicity or how to fit her into their existing dynamic." She found it "really interesting how Amy tried to be open-minded and fair – if she has two boyfriends, shouldn't Levi have two girlfriends? But it's not what Amy wants and in the end she has to be honest about that. It was really cool to see Jacinta Stapleton work through that and the level of truth, reality and respect she gave to this storyline." To the disappointment of Ned, the three of them agree to go to the Erinsborough Police Ball together, where one of Levi's co-workers makes an "out-of-line" comment about their polyamory. A confrontation breaks out and Levi and Ned are kicked out of the ball and Levi remains angry at Ned for escalating the situation.
Relationship with Freya Wozniak As part of the introduction of
Freya Wozniak (Pheobe Roberts), Levi meets her when she tries to steal a red scarf from a crime scene. Freya soon explains that she is searching for her missing cousin and Levi befriends her. Levi takes Freya on a joyride in his police car and when he gets out to pick up their lunch, she turns on the in-car computer and looks up the last address of
Gareth Bateman (Jack Pearson), who she claims is her cousin, but Roxy spots her and confronts her. Lee announced that Levi would "be heartbroken once again." Roxy breaks into Freya's house to see what she is up to and Freya threatens her with a knife, so Roxy tells Levi, who in return "offers support" to Freya. Freya then reveals the truth that Gareth is actually her boyfriend, who was involved in a police corruption incident, and Lee explained that Freya would admit to "manipulating and stringing Levi along from the start." Levi, who had developed feelings for Freya, tries to move on but eventually finds himself helping Freya's search for Gareth. Roberts told Digital Spy that Freya "reveals to Levi that she already has a boyfriend – Gareth – who's gone missing. She came to Erinsborough to find him. Levi then has to deal with what this means, because this girl has been lying to him for weeks." Roberts teased, "Freya decided that she could use his connections to the police to her advantage. She'd been worried that all cops were bad and corrupt, but then she met this beam of light that is Levi and realised how hard it is to lie to someone who's so divine. By this point, Freya absolutely has genuine feelings for Levi. She knows him, she's met his family and she's part of his life. To lie to him completely eats at her. She might not admit it to herself yet, but deep down absolutely she does feel something for Levi. Levi is very betrayed by her confession and he storms off on her. Freya tries to apologise, and he won't even hear it. But Levi is also very concerned that she's going to do something stupid now she's in this by herself. He's worried and thinks it's his responsibility to make sure Freya is okay. Even if he doesn't know it yet, he's in love." Later that month, Levi and Freya both join their friends on a holiday to River Bend Getaway, where Freya admits that she has feelings for Levi and asks him why he is ignoring her. Levi explains Gareth's allegations and Freya becomes "devastated", however Gareth, who has followed the Erinsborough residents to River Bend, makes "a surprise appearance". Levi wrestles Gareth to the ground, disarming him, but as Levi tries to run off, Gareth picks up his gun and shoots Levi in the arm. Gareth dies from mistreated wounds after Freya and
David Tanaka (
Takaya Honda) refuse to save him and Levi recovers, however puts some distance between himself and Freya. With help from Freya's housemates, she and Levi finally reveal their true feelings and kiss, before going on a remote picnic. Joe Julians of Digital Spy announced that they would "head into some bushes to relieve the months of sexual tension between them", however would return to find their clothes have been stolen. When Sheila and Kyle move out, Levi moves in with
Susan (
Jackie Woodburne) and
Karl Kennedy (
Alan Fletcher). Levi and Freya make a new Ramsay Street history book and surprise
Harold Bishop (
Ian Smith) with it. Morris' final appearance is in the show's
final episode, when Levi attends Toadie and
Melanie Pearson's (
Lucinda Cowden) wedding and parties with Freya at their reception on Ramsay Street.
