This festive season, Tammin portrays Celeste, an astronomy professor who kindles a romance with football team coordinator Max (played by Brant Daugherty) during the holidays. Despite their initial clash due to his immature behaviour, love soon flourishes as they participate in a Christmas tournament, solidifying their undeniable chemistry.
Tammin is barely recognisable in her new role, sporting long blonde hair, a far cry from her Home and Away days. After leaving the soap, Tammin was signed by Sony BMG Music Entertainment and released her solo album, Whatever Will Be, in May 2005.
In 2006, Tammin shifted her focus to TV and film work, moving from Australia to Los Angeles. She made her movie debut in Aquamarine, playing the character Marjorie.
Her passion for American soaps drew her back, and she landed the role of Colleen in the drama series The Young and The Restless. Three years on, she gained further recognition when she joined Disney Channel’s Hannah Montana for eight episodes.
