Eliza Taylor

 Taylor had her biggest breakthrough in the Australian soap drama Neighbours in 2005. Taylor was cast in the role of Janae Timmins, who had previously appeared as a guest on the show in 2003. [5] Taylor was originally auditioned to play the role of Lana Crawford, however, actress Bridget Neval was eventually cast. In 2007 Nell Feeney and Sianoa Smit-McPhee who played Taylor's on-screen mother Janelle Timmins as well as her sister Bree Timmins, were written out by executive producer Ric Pellizzeri. However, it was later confirmed that they were keen for Taylor to continue in the show as Janae. 7 Taylor quit the show in 2007 to pursue different projects, like pantomimes or a career change in the US. [8] One of her reasons was that all of her characters had been written off and new cast members gave the series the feeling of being in a completely different place, adding: "It just didn't feel like the family that I had joined three years ago". 9 Taylor completed her last studio scenes in 2007, and her final episode aired on February 8th the 8th of February, 2008. She was nominated in 2007 for the Best Female award at the Inside Soap Awards.
