Home and Away actress Tammin Sursok, who played the role of Dani Sutherland, has swapped Summer Bay for Los Angeles as she stars in a new Christmas movie. After quitting the hit Australian soap 20 years ago, the now 41 year old has secured a role in the romantic comedy, Trivia at St Nicks, and she looks worlds away from her time on Home and Away.
Many will remember Tammin from her time on Home and Away having starred as Dani Sutherland from 2000 to 2004. She left the soap at 21 to pursue a music career and other acting opportunities but will now be returning to our screens.

This Christmas, Tammin plays the role of Celeste, an astronomy professor who sparks a romance with football team coordinator Max (played by Brant Daugherty) during the holidays. After her initial disapproval of his immature ways sparking a clash between the pair, love soon blossoms as they take on a Christmas tournament, cementing their undeniable spark.
Tammin looks unrecognisable in her new role, with lengthy blonde locks, 20 years from her Home and Away stardom. After leaving the soap, Tammin was successfully signed by Sony BMG Music Entertainment, and in May 2005, she released her solo album, Whatever Will Be.
A year later, in 2006, Tammin focused on TV and film work, relocating from Australia to Los Angeles. She made her debut in the movie Aquamarine, where she played Marjorie.
Her love of American soaps pulled her back in, and she secured the role of Colleen in the drama series The Young and The Restless. Three years later, she shot to further fame when she joined Disney Channel’s Hannah Montana for eight episodes.

She went on to secure the role of Jenna Marshall in the huge hit series Pretty Little Liars, which only led to further success. Tammin scooped up film roles in Crossing Over, Albino Farm, Flicka 2 and Husk.
Her latest achievement saw her play the role of Sarah Corso in Driving By Braille before she returned to Australia to star as Montana Marcel in the rival soap Neighbours in 2022. Her Christmas role in Trivia at St Nicks marks her return to the US.
Away from our screens, Tammin has been married to film producer Sean McEwen since 2011 and together they have two daughters. Over on Instagram, the actress can be found sharing sweet family snaps along with hilarious videos that often leave her 1.3M followers in hysterics.
