Felicity Jane "Flick" Scully is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Neighbours, played by Holly Valance. She made her first screen appearance during the episode broadcast on 20 October 1999. She departed on 28 November 2002, but made a cameo appearance in the serial's 20th anniversary episode.
In 1999, the five strong Scully family were created and introduced to Neighbours, following the departure of the Martin family.Joe (Shane Connor), Lyn (Janet Andrewartha) and their three daughters, Stephanie (Carla Bonner), Felicity and Michelle (Kate Keltie) arrived on screen in October.Holly Valance was cast as the middle Scully sibling Felicity. Valance did not have much auditioning experience prior to Neighbours, having previously acted in commercials. Former cast member Scott Michaelson saw a picture of Valance in a magazine and got in touch with her. He asked her if she would like to audition for Neighbours.
Valance thought she would give it "a shot" and went up for the role. She learned that she had won the part of Felicity three months later. Of her reaction to finding out she has been cast, Valance said "I never would have [believed it]. You know the show that I've been watching since I was two years old and been such a huge fan. Not in a million years would I thought I would be a part of."Neighbours marked Valance's first major television role. She was sixteen when she was cast as Felicity, one year older than her character.
Upon her introduction, Felicity, or Flick, was fifteen years old and "a devoted feminist", who had a "very active social conscience." Jim Schembri from The Age thought Flick was "the slightly more reserved" sibling, who he noted were all different from another. Valance said she shared some similarities with her characters, including her stubborn streak and her "feistiness." She also thought Flick acted a lot younger than her age. When it came to Flick and romance, Valance said "She throws her heart and soul into everything, every guy she meets she's in love with fully and completely and will marry him if he asked her after the first hour of knowing him. Whereas I'm like sit back and really think about things and more practical and it takes a long time to make a decision even if it's which socks to buy."
