CHRISTY HAYES is best known for her work on the television series Home and Away as Kirsty Phillips who she played from June 2000 to February 2005 and again from May 2008 onwards. In ID we see her explore the hostile & emotional character of Katie.
In 2000, Hayes was cast as Maria in the family adventure series Search for Treasure Island. Later that year Hayes was cast in her biggest role to date as Kirsty Sutherland in the successful soap opera Home and Away, after turning down the role of Dani Sutherland (her character's older sister), because she was uncomfortable playing someone three years older than herself, Kirsty being 13 and Dani 16.
She was the first person to be cast in her on screen "Sutherland" family, and the only one to play two characters on the show. She played both Kirsty Phillips (nèe Sutherland) and Laura DeGroot (the two characters were twin sisters separated at birth). Hayes, who was on the cover of TV Week more times in 2004 than any of her other cast members, left Home and Away in October 2004 in order to travel. Her final H&A appearance aired in February 2005.
After leaving the show she appeared in a Pepsi Light commercial in 2006 and made a guest appearance on the soap Blue Water High. She was also involved in the making of various films and television shows, including Room 101, Searching For Eva, The First Goodbye and Noir. Hayes returned to Home and Away in May 2008, as a series regular.
