Debbie Martin is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Neighbours, played by Marnie Reece-Wilmore. She made her first appearance during the episode broadcast on 22 July 1985. Debbie was originally played by Mandy Storvik and Katrina McEwan. Reece-Wilmore was cast in the role when the character was reintroduced with her family in 1992. She had to relocate to Melbourne for filming. The character later became part of the serial's new "brat pack". Reece-Wilmore left Neighbours in late 1994, but returned in 1996 upon the promise of exciting storylines and a new look for her character. She departed on 22 October 1997, but reprised her role for the show's 20th anniversary celebration episode on 27 July 2005.
