“Neighbours” has the distinction of being the most successful Australian media export as it has been sold to 60 countries.
Stasey played the role of Rachel Kinski in 275 episodes leaving the show in 2009 in order to complete her education. When she won the role of Rachel in the show, she left school and decided to study using a distance education program. Another added incentive was the fact that she wanted to feel like “a normal 18-year-old” something she didn’t experience while hopping from one set to another.
Between 2013 and 2016, she was part of the drama show “Please Like Me” on ABC2 (Australia) in which she played 21 episodes between seasons one and four. Then she made her Hollywood TV debut when she played Lady Kenna in “Reign” the American historical drama about the life and exploits of Mary, Queen of Scots for 44 episodes.
Caitlin is a TV woman all-round but she has a handful of feature films to her name. They include “I, Frankenstein” (2014) an Australian and American collaboration, “Fear, Inc” (2016) an American comedic horror, and “Tomorrow, When the War Began” an Australian adventure and war film from 2011.
Sexuality and relationship
Caitlin Stasey is bisexual. Yes, she is gay and she also enjoys the romantic attention of men. Confusing? Not at all. It is called bisexual and we didn’t invent the word. “I’ve known I was mostly gay ever since I can remember,” she told the media as reported by LiveRampup. She further explained that she grew up to an experience in which “Every night I’d drift off into this utopia of women being available to me and knowing nothing other than my desire for them.”
As to how she could manage to feel this way and still have a male partner whom she started dating since 2014, she said, “I know it troubles many people for me to refer to myself as a lesbian considering I have a male partner. I think they gather that it trivializes the plight of the LGBTQIA community.” But this doesn’t worry her so much since “At this point in my life, I’m trying to steer as far from labeling as possible.” Because “Compartmentalizing myself only leads to condemnation and contradiction.”
“I’m happier being fluid and I’m happier being honest,” she concluded.
Caitlin is married to Lucas Neff the American actor born in Chicago and known mostly for his role in Fox’s “Raising Hope”. There is no one outside of the couple’s immediate circle who could say for sure when the couple got married. They started by sharing cryptic photos of themselves on Instagram before coming out to confirm in 2016. The union is blessed with a child.
