Naomi Lord, played by former Home and Away actress Kate Bell, made her first on-screen appearance on 24 April 2010. Naomi was a new love interest for Ringo Brown (Sam Clark), who treats her after she collapses outside Harold's Store.

It was reported that Ringo would fall for Naomi, however, she soon shows a different side to her character. A Neighbours spokesperson said of Naomi "She quickly reveals her true colours. And the consequences could be devastating for another favourite". Network Ten describe Naomi as "Giving Glenn Close a run for her money in a Fatal Attraction-style-storyline" Of her character Bell said "She's a complex character. The guys totally fall for her vulnerability which is all an act, but the girls have her worked out straight away".

Naomi is treated by paramedic Ringo Brown after she goes into Anaphylactic shock outside Harold's Store. Ringo later visits her in hospital to check she is okay and Naomi steals his ID badge. Naomi turns up at the university sports day and Ringo begins to fall for her. When Ringo tells her that he is spending the day with the guys, she appears unhappy. She later steals a fuse from their hangout, which cuts the power supply and forces Ringo and the others to go to Charlie's, where Naomi meets up with them. Naomi invites Ringo to see a movie and the other teens decide to go too, Naomi appears unhappy that Donna Freedman (Margot Robbie) is going. Naomi texts Zeke Kinski (Matthew Werkmeister) from Ringo's phone telling him that she and Ringo are not going. They later meet the others at Harold's Store and Donna tells Naomi not to worry about her being Ringo's ex-girlfriend. Naomi tells Ringo that Donna was mean to her and he tells Donna to stay away from him and Naomi. In a bid to make Donna look jealous of her and Ringo, Naomi pays Bradley Hewson (Liam McIntyre) to pretend to be her brother. When Donna sees them together, she tells Ringo that Naomi is cheating on him. Naomi invites Ringo over to her house for a spa. When he arrives, she undoes her bikini strap and pretends to drown, while calling out for him to help. Ringo rescues her and takes her back to the Kennedy house, where Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher) checks Naomi over. Karl questions Naomi about the incident and tells Ringo that he has doubts about her story. Ringo later discovers his stolen ID card in Naomi's bag and breaks off the relationship.

Naomi does not take the split well and asks Ringo to meet her for a drink. Ringo tells her that they are definitely over and she goes to Harold's Store in tears, where Kate Ramsay (Ashleigh Brewer) talks to her. Naomi accuses Donna of ruining her relationship and tells her to stay away from Ringo. Donna is sent a photo of Naomi and Ringo together and later, a set of photos featuring her. Donna's university project is ruined and everyone blames Naomi. Donna accidentally tells the police that Naomi is at the gym and they conclude that Naomi could not have gone to the university. A woman with blond hair runs off with Naomi's hospital records and Karl believes it is Donna. Karl confronts Donna, who tells him she was not at the hospital. The police arrive and arrest Donna for theft. Donna claims to have been framed by Naomi and Ringo sticks by her. Declan Napier (Erin Mullally) and Ringo search Naomi's house and Declan finds a shrine dedicated to Ringo. They also find the hospital records and call the police. Naomi is arrested and Ringo later has a restraining order taken out against her, which Naomi rips up. Donna is then released. Ringo receives several phone calls from a hysterical Naomi. Naomi asks Ringo to meet her, but he refuses. Ringo later finds out from Karl that Naomi was brought into the hospital after a hit and run. When Naomi wakes up, she calls out for Ringo. Naomi is then sent to the psychiatric ward. Ringo visits her, but Naomi angrily blames him for everything that happened to her.
