In an exclusive interview, the rising star revealed that her sister, whom many assumed was just a friendly face in the industry, is actually her sibling — and Stephanie

has been instrumental in helping her sister carve out her own place in the spotlight. Stephanie, known for her emotional and compelling performances on the long-running Aussie drama,

spoke candidly about the unique bond she shares with her sister. “People are always shocked when they find out we’re sisters,” she admitted. “We’ve grown up supporting each other,

but stepping into this industry together has been its own journey.”

The revelation came as Stephanie reflected on the early days of her career. “When I first started acting, I had no idea what to expect,” she said. “I wanted my sister to feel confident pursuing her own path, so I helped her navigate auditions, gave her tips on preparing for roles, and just reminded her to trust herself.”

Fans quickly took to social media, sharing their surprise and admiration. Comments flooded in: “I can’t believe they’re sisters! No wonder they both have that amazing talent!” and “Stephanie is so sweet to support her sister — this is goals!” The bond between the two extends far beyond family ties, with Stephanie revealing that mentoring her sister has been one of the most rewarding aspects of her life.

Insiders also confirm that Stephanie’s sister has been quietly making waves in the acting world, landing small but memorable roles in local productions and short films. Stephanie’s guidance and insider knowledge of the entertainment world have given her sister a boost that’s hard to replicate. “It’s not about fame or recognition,” Stephanie explained. “It’s about giving her the tools and confidence to shine on her own terms. I want the world to see the incredible person she is, just like I hope my work shows who I am.”

As Home and Away continues to dominate prime-time television with its dramatic storylines and emotional arcs, the Panozzo sisters’ revelation adds a new layer of intrigue for fans. Could we see the real-life sisters acting together on screen soon? Stephanie seemed intrigued by the idea but remained coy: “You never know what could happen in Summer Bay… but if it does, it would be something really special.”

The industry buzz surrounding Stephanie and her sister is growing, and with her reputation as a talented, heartfelt actress, fans are eager to see where this sisterly collaboration could lead. One thing is certain: the spotlight isn’t just on Stephanie anymore — her sister is officially in the mix, and the dynamic duo could be the next big thing in Australian television.
