Thank you to MB for pointing me in the right direction.
Lawyer Extraordinaire, Mary Pason is representing Ned Collie at his trial. There is no question that Ned is guilty of the crimes he is accused of committing. Mary needs character witnesses to help convince the Tribunal that Ned had no choice but to commit those crimes. Gigi Sharpley is one of the folks on Mary’s list of people who have benefitted from Ned’s schemes.
Gigi Sharpley thinks the ranchers need to behave better. She’s all for the ranchers having a place to go but not here in Wallaru. Perhaps Welling Town in the distant skies would be a good place for the ranchers.
It turns out that Gigi has not benefitted from Ned’s actions, but rather her sister Claudia. Gigi sends you down the street to find Claudia.
Gigi Edgley (born November 16, 1977) is an Australian actress, singer, and songwriter. She is best known for her roles as Chiana on the series Farscape and Lara Knight in Rescue: Special Ops.
Edgley was born in Perth. She is the daughter of theatre, concert, and circus promoter Michael Edgley, known for bringing the Moscow State Circus to Australia during the 1980s. Her mother, Jeni Edgley, was formerly involved in managing a 250-acre (101 hectare) health retreat. As a child, Gigi Edgley performed both in and out of school. She also took several years of ballet, jazz, and character dance. She became mainly interested in acting and had her first professional theatrical engagement at the Twelfth Night Theatre. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the Queensland University of Technology in 1998. Edgley is proficient in ballet, jazz, character dance, singing, and martial arts. Her signature skill is fire-twirling.
Edgley’s early TV and film work included several independent productions (with later Farscape co-star Anthony Simcoe), as well as a guest star spot on the Australian series Water Rats and a role in Australian film titled The Day of the Roses.
Edgley is best known for her role as Chiana on the science fiction TV series Farscape. Originally, she was hired for only one episode, and her character was supposed to die at the end of the hour. The creators decided to keep her around for a few more episodes. At the beginning of Season 2, she was promoted to be a regular on the show. She appeared in total of 68 episodes of the series. Her character’s nickname (Pip) was actually coined by her co-star Ben Browder.
Between seasons, Edgley has appeared in other guest starring roles on TV, including the internationally aired series The Lost World and BeastMaster (returning for a second guest starring role), has undertaken some independent film work, was cast in a feature film (pulled due to production and schedule reasons), and read a starring role in an audio drama for Seeing Ear Theatre.
After Farscape, Edgley pursued other projects including a role in the Australian drama telefilm BlackJack with Colin Friels. She joined the cast of Australian drama series The Secret Life of Us in 2003 and Stingers in 2004.
Edgley returned as Chiana in the SciFi Channel miniseries Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars in 2004.
In 2006 Edgley starred as the female lead in the Australian Drama/Thriller Last Train to Freo. Her role was nominated for a Best Actress in a Lead Role by the Film Critics Circle of Australia. She also had a minor supporting role in the 2007 USA Network TV miniseries The Starter Wife. She had a leading role in three seasons of Rescue: Special Ops from 2009. In 2018, she appeared in the film Diminuendo opposite Richard Hatch.

Although I am well versed in Pop Culture references but I do not claim to have caught them all. Let me know your favorites in the comments and if I’ve missed one you caught, let me know so I can add it to the list.
