Miranda Parker (née West) is a fictional character from the Australian Network Ten soap opera ''Neighbours'', played by Nikki Coghill. In 2007, the show's focus returned to focus more on family dynamics and the characters of Miranda and her family were created and introduced to help boost falling ratings in Australia. Miranda made her first on-screen appearance on 23 July 2007 along with her husband and her daughter. The family moved into Ramsay Street and Miranda became friends with many of her neighbours and was employed at both Erinsborough High and Lassiter's Hotel. Her storylines included the arrival of her sister Nicola, breaking up and later reuniting with Steve, sleeping with her old university lecturer, becoming a grandmother and the death of her daughter. In March 2009, the decision was taken to write the Parker family out of the show after Eloise Mignon and Steve Bastoni quit. Miranda departed on 24 July 2009 with her husband, following their daughter's funeral. ==Character creation and casting== In 2007 ''Neighbours'' suffered one of its worst decline in ratings and several key changes took place to boost the ratings. Network Ten drama executive Dan Bennett revealed that the show would return to its focus on relationships and family dynamics.〔 Writers created and introduced a new family, the Parkers, who already had a link to Ramsay Street in the form of Ned Parker (Daniel O'Connor). The family made their first on-screen appearance in July 2007, marking the start of the show's renovation. Australian drama actress, Nikki Coghill was cast as the matriarch of the family, Miranda, and Steve Bastoni was cast as her husband Steve Parker. Eloise Mignon and Sweeney Young were cast as their children, Bridget and Riley.〔 Shortly after she joined ''Neighbours'' Coghill believed that she was going to get the sack after she broke her ankle.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nikki Coghill (Neighbours' Miranda Parker) Interview )〕 She said "I thought, "That's it, I won't be able to work now and I'll be fired".〔 However, the ''Neighbours'' bosses gave her a month off work and wrote her broken ankle into the script. Miranda was then said to have broken her ankle riding a mechanical bull.〔 In March 2009, it was announced that the Parker family were to be written out of the show after both Mignon and Bastoni decided to leave to concentrate on other commitments. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Miranda Parker」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
