To secure the role Robertson put on a geeky persona during her audition. The character is also noted for her keen liking of reptiles, particularly her pet snake. The character is most often used in romantic stories with Todd Landers (Kristian Schmid) and Stephen Gottlieb ( Lochie Daddo).

She was later held hostage by Todd's father Bob Landers (Bruce Kilpatrick) and giv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
