Izzy Hoyland

Isabelle (Izzy) Hoyland is an antagonist in the Australian soap opera Neighbours, played by Natalie Bassingthwaighte. She first appeared in 2003 and is set to leave in 2006.

She moved in with Karl Kennedy after he broke up with Susan and for a long period claimed (falsely) that Karl was the father of her unborn baby. Has also had affairs with Jack Scully and Gus Cleary, who was the biological father of her unborn child. She is no longer pregnant, owing to a miscarriage. Recently broke up with Karl, due to an affair with Paul Robinson, but got back together with him shortly afterwards. Darcy Tyler, who knew the secret about her baby and was put into a coma by Izzy, woke up and forced her to give him a favourable testimony at his sentencing hearing in order to keep her secret safe. Susan looked at Izzy's confidential medical records and discovered that father of the baby was unknown. She forced Izzy to tell Karl the secret. Karl kicked her out, and she ran off, leaving Paul Robinson under suspicion for her murder. She was found alive, and Paul's name was cleared. She recently overcame a drug addiction, and is now in an open relationship with Paul. She had an affair with Ned, which was initiated in an attempt to get him out of Erinsborough, which both the mystery stalker, who has since been revealed to be Robert Robinson, and Lou have found out about. Her manipulative nature is believed to be the cause of considerable neglect by her mother Rosie in her childhood when, instead of bringing up her children, she chose to devote her time to being a minister. This manipulative nature is why she has now met her match in Paul Robinson (the arsonist of the original Lassiters complex and the destroyer of Lou and Harold's business, the General Store.)
