[4] Her green Volkswagen Beetle car was later owned by Libby Kennedy (Kym Valentine), Sally's one time love rival.

[4] Sally works as an assistant at the Erinsborough University radio station UniFM, alongside Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney).

Sally has difficulty dealing with the anniversary of her mother's death and her heightened emotions cause her to reject Joel's attempts at sympathy.

A writer for the BBC's official Neighbours website said Sally's most notable moment was "rushing in on Drew when he was changing and attempting to kiss him.

He immediately causes upset when he "comes down heavy" on his young sister Caitlin Atkins (Emily Milburn), after catching her with her boyfriend.

When the charges were dropped, it left Nick "feeling bitter about the experience" and wondering whether he should accept more work at Erinsborough High.

[9] The siblings have "a cheeky farewell" after Caitlin paints a goodbye message on the road to make sure the residents did not forget them in a hurry.

Mickey takes a fall and hurts his ankle, leading his mother, Jean (Joanne Canning) to sue Nick for assaulting her son.

MacPherson auditioned for the show's casting director, Jan Russ, who then approached the producers and suggested they create the role of Joel for him.

Dr. Olenski treats Craig "Pinhead" Pinders (Nathan Godkin), Libby Kennedy (Kym Valentine) and Brendan Bell (Blair Venn) when they involved in road accidents.

Dr. Olenski also helps to deliver Oscar Scully (Ingo Dammer-Smith), Ashley Thomas (Amielle Lemaire) and Charlie Hoyland (Aaron Aulsebrook-Walker).

Dr. Olenski accidentally gives away Izzy's pregnancy secret when she leaves a message on the Hoyland house phone about an ultrasound appointment.

Six months later, Dr. Olenski treats Pepper Steiger (Nicky Whelan) for stage 2 cervical dysplasia and incorrectly diagnosis Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne) with the menopause, when she is really suffering from Multiple sclerosis.

During Rosetta Cammeniti (Natalie Saleeba) and Frazer Yeats's (Ben Lawson) first ultrasound, Dr. Olenski cannot find their baby's heartbeat and believes that Rosie has experienced a false pregnancy.

When Dr. Olenski runs into Stephanie Scully at the hospital, she admits that she is having a tough day as her husband, Greg, has left her for another woman.

When Susan plans to act as a surrogate for her daughter, Dr. Olenski warns her that the physical strain could cause a serious relapse of her MS.

The local newspaper soon gets hold of the story and Dr. Olenski tells Susan's husband, Karl (Alan Fletcher), that the hospital are not happy with the media attention.

Not long after, Dr. Olenski carries out the IVF procedure on Susan and treats a newborn India Napier (Alia and Gabriella De Vercelli).

[23] She admitted that her first day on set was embarrassing, as a tampon fell out of her bag and into her co-star Todd MacDonald's (Darren Stark) lap during their first meeting.

She listens to Toadfish Rebecchi's radio show on UniFM and mistakes Nick Atkins (Jason Crewes) for Toadie.

Toadie suggests Karen pilot his and Lou Carpenter's (Tom Oliver) flying machine in order to win money to go away to Bali, but she refuses after a mishap involving a helium doll version of her floating away.

They agree to try to keep things going long distance, but Karen ends the relationship during a phone call several months later, breaking Toadie's heart.

[27] The couple faced further problems when Libby learned Mike regularly spent social time with his estranged wife.

Valentine commented "She understands Mike and his wife have to keep in touch as they have a child together, but she can't help but fear the worst.

[27] A writer for the BBC's Neighbours website believed Mike's most notable moment was "getting his ex-wife pregnant whilst he was seeing Libby.

"[28] A columnist for Inside Soap quipped, "Mike is just the latest in a long line of rotters who caused Libby heartache over the years.

Producers began casting for the role of Tadpole, Toadfish Rebecchi's (Ryan Moloney) younger cousin, as they needed a new "rascal" character because Toadie had grown up.

"[34] Geri caused friction between couple Drew Kirk (Dan Paris) and Libby Kennedy (Kym Valentine).

[34] Dunwill found the scenes between Geri and Libby "a lot of fun" to film and added that people had told her they enjoyed watching her "nasty" character.

Matters are not helped when Geri begins dating Drew Kirk, who Libby previously rejected after he declared his feelings for her.
