Fiona Corke (born September 24, 1961 in Melbourne, Victoria) is an Australian actress best known for her role as Gail Robinson on the Australian soap opera "Neighbours".

Career

Corke began her career with a minor role in the film "I Live with Me Dad", before guest staring on "Prisoner (TV series)". She then joined the cast of "Neighbours", playing Gail Lewis Robinson from 1987 to 1989.

Corke continued to guest star on a variety of prime time shows, and had a recurring role as "Trudi Dawson" on the "Australian Broadcasting Corporation" drama "SeaChange".

After a cameo appearance as Gail on "Neighbours" in 2005, Corke returned for guest appearances in 2006 and 2007.

Fiona will appear in a forthcoming episode of police drama City Homicide.

Personal life

Corke met her husband Nick Carrafa while they were both appearing on "Neighbours" in 1987. The couple did not go public with their relationship until he left the show in 1988, fearing their real-life romance would confuse viewers.
