Eve Morey is best known for her guest appearances on Pigs Breakfast, Home & Away, and All Saints.  She then went on to spend a decade on Australian Television drama Neighbours as series regular Sonya Rebecchi before her characters exit in 2019.  Eve was part of the series for more than 900 episodes. During her time on the show, the WAAPA graduate was a very obvious stand-out, in terms of performance.  She brought a rare quality to the show that ultimately earned her a Silver Logie Nomination for Best Actress and a Gold Logie Nomination. Her heartbreaking final scenes touched the entire Nation.  During the series renewal talks, it was revealed that Eve would leave, and she pitched the story on how her character would exit.  After her exit from Neighbours, Eve stayed on behind the scenes as an acting coach and mentor to actors coming on to the show. She continues to be a highly sought after acting coach and mentor, and is now one of the most in demand on-set intimacy coaches in the country.  Eve has a huge following at our studio and we are so thrilled to have her join us this term.
