Bree Timmins is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Neighbours, played by Sianoa Smit-McPhee.

[1] In December 2006 it was announced that the Neighbours producers had decided to write out the characters of Bree and her on-screen mother, Janelle (Nell Feeney).

"[4] The character's profile from Network Ten describes Bree as being totally different from her siblings as they are not related biologically.

She "clearly possessed an overactive imagination fueled by years of reading trashy novels and her bizarre flights of fantasy made her a bit of an outsider.

"[5] Penny Debelle of The Advertiser gave a similar assessment of the character, calling her a "chubby bookworm", who was "a bit of an outsider" and often seen reading fantasy novels.

[6] In her early years, Bree was shy, but when she discovers she is not biologically related to the Timmins, she craves a new identity as a "disaffected and disillusioned young adolescent teenager" and transforms into a goth.

In 2006, it is discovered during a science project that she is not the biological daughter of Janelle and Kim Timmins (Brett Swain), who she believed were her birth parents.

Bree makes friends with her biggest book fan, Anne Baxter (Tessa James), who is blind.

Still searching for a non-Timmins identity, Bree considers changing her name by deed poll, but after finding out that she isn't old enough to legally do so, she instructs her friend Rachel (Caitlin Stasey) to tell people to call her Trinity Black.

Feeling guilt over her action, she states that she wants to make things right, and then left Erinsborough, with Bree still unaware that Loris is the cause of the mix-up.

When Greg finally accepts that Bree is his daughter, they came up with the plan for the Timmins to move to Cairns, so that the Baxters and Timminses can get to know each other.

For a start, she's highly intelligent and the sensitive type – two things that the rest of the Timmins clan are rarely accused of being.
