In the police drama, Maggie was shot and killed a day before she was due to enter witness protection, after she found a computer disk with information about a gang.
She told news.com.au: ‘I understand why they had to do it, but I think because I knew she had such a strong, young female following I felt really strongly that I wanted her to stay alive.’
Lisa went on to feature in another long running series Sea Patrol from 2007-2011.
The four-time Gold Logie winner made headlines in 2024 when she won Dancing With The Stars Australia.
The actress took out the Mirror Ball Trophy with her professional dance partner Ian Waite in a tense finale on the Channel Seven dancing competition.
She was also awarded $20,000 for her chosen charities, the RCD Foundation and the Harrison Reidel Foundation.
