Rachel got her big break playing Mitzee in Hollyoaks and also starred in the ABC drama Switched at Birth. But her real success came when she turned her hand to writing. The Silent Child, which she wrote and starred in, won the Oscar for live action short film, an honour she shared with director Chris Overton, who also happens to be her fiancé and a fellow Hollyoaks alum. It's safe to say the future is bright for these former Hollyoaks star.
