Readers may remember Connolly from when she starred in series five of Go Girls.
For the past couple of years Connolly has been working behind the scenes in the industry as part of TVNZ's marketing and publicity team, but has had a massive year on the acting front, including recurring guest roles on the MTV series The Shannara Chronicles, launching in January, and popular kids' series Power Rangers.
