What's she been in? Christine takes the role of Melissa in Cutting It. She first came to fame in her native Australia on a soap called Pacific Drive. The show ran for two years. She landed the role of Lt Teeg in the pilot for Farscape. She appeared in three episodes before her character got murdered, so she didn't make any more appearances in the popular series. She moved over to England and in 2001 joined the cast of Casualty as Lara Stone. Lara's love-life was always a bit of a disaster. She fell for Patrick (Ian Kelsey) but he died before they could get married. Then she was due to marry Simon (Chris Colquhoun), but she found out on her wedding day, that he'd cheated on her. Lara ran back to Australia, leaving Christine free to pursue other acting jobs. Did you know? Christine had never even seen an episode of Casualty before getting the role of Lara. Don't cross Christine when she's got a gun, she's very talented at shooting. Christine's younger sister Emily is a very successful model.
