She also includes her daughter Willow Somers ( Mieke Billing - Smith ) in the scam, by pretending that she is Toadie 's daughter. Andrea turns up at Number 30 Ramsay Street pretending to be Dee Bliss. She tells Toadie that after the car crashed, she kept being dragged down by the waves. She eventually washed up on the beach, but hit her head on some rocks, causing a brain injury. She was found by a woman named Emily, who did not call for help, as she believed she was protecting her from Toadie. Andrea shows Toadie a photo of her injuries and says she suffered from memory loss, blackouts and mood swings. When Toadie asks why she did not find him sooner, Andrea explains that she saw him with Sindi Watts ( Marisa Warrington ) and did not want to ruin his happiness. Andrea asks Toadie to help her gain closure. Andrea meets Dee 's close friend Stephanie Scully ( Carla Bonner ), whose partner Mark Brennan ( Scott McGregor ) is suspicious of her story.

Andrea tells her daughter to go along with the plan, so she can give her the life she deserves. Sindi comes to the motel and it emerges that she told Andrea about her resemblance to Dee. It also emerges that Sindi posed as Emily on the phone to Mark, and is after a cut of the Bliss estate in exchange for helping Andrea with the information needed to scam Toadie. Sindi expresses her regret about being involved, and demands her initial cut of $20,000 be doubled to $40,000 ; however it is revealed that there is in fact no money left in the estate, it having disappeared under insolvency.
