Tiffany "Lochy" McLachlan is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Neighbours, played by Amber Kilpatrick. She made her first on-screen appearance on 23 October 1989. Tiffany is described as being a little terror and always getting into mischief. She becomes friends with Toby Mangel and manages to get him into trouble too. Tiffany's storylines often saw her tomboyish and mischievous sides come out. She attacks a family of Magpies after being dive bombed by one, she lies to her aunt that Kerry Bishop is mistreating her, she almost drowns after going to the beach and convinces Joe Mangel that he has been cursed. Tiffany departed on 21 June 1990 after deciding to join her parents in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
Characterisation
The BBC called Tiffany "an absolute little terror."[1] They described her as always cooking up mischief and trying to obtain money or vandalise other people's property.[1] They said "this little girl was certainly not made of sugar and spice and all things nice. More like paint-stripper and bleach."[1] Tiffany became friends with Toby Mangel (Finn Greentree-Keane) and through her antics, she managed to get him into trouble.[1] The BBC said that Tiffany's most "audacious moment" was when she graffitied Paul Robinson's (Stefan Dennis) car. Paul was quite protective of his car and was outraged when he saw what Tiffany had done.[1] The BBC wondered what Tiffany was up to today and believed that she was either "Behind bars" or running a bank.[1]
