Roxy Miller

Roxanne "Roxy" Miller is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Home and Away, played by Lisa Lackey. She made her first screen appearance in the episode broadcast on 13 October 1992 and departed on 9 February 1995.

Casting

Lackey played Roxanne from 1992 until 1995. Lackey was working as a model when she was approached by the producers of Home and Away to play Roxanne. She was due to fly out to Japan when the offer came through. Of her casting, Lackey told an Inside Soap writer "It literally came up out of the blue and I thought that acting is what I'd like to be doing in the next couple of years, so I just jumped at the chance."

Development

Lackey described her character as "independent and strong willed". She stated further that Roxy does what she wants and is a bit of a matchmaker; she wants everyone she knows to be happy.

After his relationship with Lucinda Croft (Dee Smart) ended, Nick Parrish (Bruce Roberts) fell for Roxy in "a big way". Roxy believed Nick was still in love with Lucinda and she was wary of getting involved with him. When Nick's ex-girlfriend Sandy (Claudia Black) turned up in the Bay, Roxy decided to put him to "a love test", which he passed. Roberts commented that Nick fancied Roxy, but he did not want to get his heart broken again. Roxy eventually shared a "passionate kiss" with Nick and they began a relationship.
