Brianna "Bree" Timmins is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Neighbours, played by Sianoa Smit-McPhee. She made her first screen appearance during the episode broadcast on 4 April 2005. The character was written out in 2006 and she made her final appearance on 13 July 2007.
Smit-McPhee joined Neighbours in the role of Bree Timmins in early 2005 when she was thirteen years old.
In December 2006, it was announced that the Neighbours producers had decided to write out the characters of Bree and her on-screen mother, Janelle (Nell Feeney). They took the decision not to renew the contracts of Smit-McPhee and Feeney, following the departures of Ben Nicholas (Stingray Timmins) and Damien Bodie (Dylan Timmins). Co-star Ian Smith (Harold Bishop) called the decision a "huge mistake". Bree and Janelle made their final appearances in July 2007. Smit-McPhee later said she left Neighbours "because of the contract and stuff" and that she made the decision with her father. She added "I didn't want to stay (on Neighbours) any longer and if I'd stayed there more than that I would be known as just Bree and I wanted to do something different."
Network Ten describe Bree as being totally different from her siblings and that it makes sense they are not related biologically. They also call her a "introverted and studious girl" and the problem solver of the Timmins family. She "clearly possessed an overactive imagination, fuelled by years of reading trashy novels, and her bizarre flights of fantasy made her a bit of an outsider." In her early year she was shy, but when she discovered she was in fact not related to the Timmins, she craved a new identity, being a "disaffected and disillusioned young adolescent teenager" she transformed into a goth.The Age described the character of Bree as "troubled" and "sullen". They said her major development was "morphing into an 'emo' while grieving for her brother". Of her character, Smit-McPhee said "Bree started off as a geek but a brainy one. When her brother died she didn't really find who she was. I think all teenagers go through that, to find themselves and want to be Paris (Hilton) for a day".
