She's a so-so actress, but her inability to hold an American accent is horrible. They had to make up a whole background story for her in Alias on why an American senator's daughter would have a "British" accent when she clearly sounded Australian most of the time. She made no effort to hide her Australian accent in Grey's and they made no attempt to give her any backstory. And in "In Treatment" her accent was breaking all the time.

Melissa should get an accent coach and take note from fellow Aussies such as Naomi Watts, Anna Torv and Yvonne Strahovski - they've landed good roles. Maybe if she masters her American accent, roles that don't require writers to come up with a thin backstory, she'd land more decent roles.

I remember Thieves as well! She was out of place on Greys, way too much whiny drama going on there. I'm glad she gets to be on a new show.

Thieves was one of my favorite shows that season! She's a terrific actress.

The first and only time I saw her was in Alias

I also loved thieves!! .... ABC paired it with the mole (which i also loved) on fridays to die.

I remember Thieves fairly fondly, though those memories are increasingly vague. And as much as I hated her character on Alias I thought she was really hot and a decent actor, which is all you can ask for really.

Oh, and she was disturbingly hot and awkwardly realistic on In Treatment. And that's a good thing.
