Siobhan O'Leary arrived in mid 2004 as the new nanny for Harry (Callum Campbell-Ross), hired by his father Chris Warner (Michael Galvin). Chris was uneasy about Siobhan's attractiveness and she initially clashed with Harry's mother, Toni (Laura Hill). The two soon became friends and it was not long before Chris and Siobhan began sleeping with eachother. However Chris fell in love with Lucy Swinton (Sally Stockwell) and ended up dumping her. The following day Chris discovered a note from Siobhan, stating she had fled Ferndale.

Siobhan Marshall auditioned for the role shortly after graduating and thought the fact that the character shared her name was destiny. She won the role and retained it for several weeks, however she struggled with the recognition on the streets, including an incident where the character was a called a "slut".
