Foell first appeared on screen as the conniving and psychotic super-bitch Angie Russell in September 2002, when the show's ratings were slipping. Her character quickly became one of Australia's favorite villainesses with many fans refering to her six months on the show (ending in April 2003) as the "Angie Era". The storylines revolving around her - ultimately ending in her murder, and subsequent investigation - are credited with giving the show a resurgence in popularity.

Half a year later, viewers were shocked with the revelation in the 2003 Season Finale that new-girl Tasha (played by Isabel Lucas) was Angie's daughter - a move which led to Foell returning to the show briefly as Angie in 2004 as visions haunting Tasha. Then in a Twin Peaks-style move, she returned to the show in August 2004 in a new role as Angela's cousin Josie, whom she played until June 2005.
