Belle Taylor arrived in Summer Bay on a mission: to find her birth mother.
Belle’s upbringing was over-disciplined and controlling. As she became older, her parents were dismayed to find their daughter rejecting their straight, conservative lifestyle and hanging out with the wrong crowd.
Although Belle is a cheeky, extroverted young girl, she is full of insecurity and craves the love and attention her parents never gave her. Belle thought that by finding her birth mother, she will at last find her proper place in the world.
When she arrived in Summer Bay, Belle lived in the bush for some weeks and was befriended by Ric, who brought her food. She was shocked to discover the true identity of her birth mother and was even more shocked when she finally accepted Amanda, only to discover she was sleeping with her boyfriend, Drew!
After Drew realised the error of his ways, they got back together and had a strong relationship. However, Belle's commitment to her job caused a major rift between them and they have decided they no longer love eachother.
She works as a photo journalist.
