Rebekah first appeared on Home and Away in January 1990. She became one of the Fletcher family foster children and one of the core group of teens for the next two years. Controversially, her character became a single mother after having a brief relationship with a man ten years older than her (David Croft, played by Guy Pearce). Sophie struggled with single motherhood (David was now dead) and eventually moved to Perth to live with David's mother. Her final scenes were aired in January 1993.
Rebekah later revealed that during her time on Home and Away, she suffered from panic attacks and was later diagnosed with OCD.
After leaving Home and Away, Rebekah appeared in guest roles on TV. These included parts in Paradise Beach, A Country Practice, GP, Water Rats, and All Saints. She also had a role in the film The Sum of Us which she spoke highly of. However, her career didn't quite take off in the way she hoped it would.
Rebekah returned to Home and Away twice, this time as a guest. In 2002-2003, she made 17 appearances. She made 3 more appearances in 2005. These episodes largely revolved around Sophie's rekindled relationship with old boyfriend Blake Dean (Les Hill)
