First there was Kylie. Next Natalie. Then there was Holly. Now there is Tammin. Yup, the latest chart attack from Down Under is on its way. But Home And Away’s Tammin Sursok, who plays demure Dani Sutherland in the series, wants to take a less saucy slant at achieving pop stardom.

A friend of the actress is quoted saying in the Sun: "Tammin is quite wholesome and didn’t approve of Holly’s video for Kiss Kiss. She thought she was too young to strip off and she certainly won’t be doing the same." Teams of teenage boys will be thinking...spoilsport.

Dani Sutherland
played by Tammin Sursok
The oldest of the Sutherland kids, Dani's learnt to take care of her rebellious younger sisters. That doesn't mean she can't get into trouble herself, though!

Strong, independent and the oldest of the Sutherland kids, Dani has always been in a hurry to grow up.

Forced to leave her older musician boyfriend when the family moved from the city, Dani wasn't happy to be living in Summer Bay. She was sure her parents just wanted to keep her and her boyfriend apart. After city living, Dani found Summer Bay way too tame. She missed the excitement of sneaking into a pub for a night out with her girlfriends.

All she wanted to do was turn 18, finish school and move out of home.

With parents who work long hours, over the years Dani has gradually taken on more responsibility for looking after her sisters. As a result, she's come to resent her mother's job as a social worker.

Lately, Dani has begun to revolt against the expectation that she will be there to pick things up when her parents aren't. She's a bit of a rebel without a cause. But maybe Summer Bay is just the change that she needs.
