Although there was no official confirmation of this role until now, speculation was rife when Tammin revealed on Instagram that she was set to roadtrip from Queensland to Melbourne with her husband and two young children.

The role will be Tammin’s first since returning to Australia in June last year. The 38 year old recently returned from the US, where she was forced to stay due to the pandemic.

Whilst over in the US, Tammin made a household name for herself playing both Colleen Carlton on The Young and the Restless, as well as the blind Jenna Marshall on Pretty Little Liars.

In reference to whether she would ever reprise her role as Dani on Home and Away, Tammin was frank with Woman’s Day in May 2021.

I would do a cameo for the fans for sure,” she said.

It’s where I started and what gave me everything in my career – if it wasn’t for that show I don’t know where my life would’ve gone.

I’m very grateful for the experience and the opportunity and so I would definitely do a cameo.

Announcing the news of her role on her Instagram Stories, Tammin (@tamminsursok) posted a picture of her Neighbours scripts, with the caption “Squeezed in a little gig before my next tv show which is the polar opposite of this. Should be a fun few weeks!”

Tammin’s stint is thought to be beginning in February and will wrap by the last week of March. Her first scenes are likely to air in late March in the UK, and mid-April in Australia.
