Neighbours star Erin Mullally has reportedly landed a new role in the children's series Lightning Point.

According to TV Tonight, Mullally¸ who took over the role of Declan from James Sorenson, is currently filming at Roadshow Studios on the Gold Coast.

Lightning Point is a 26-part series about two girls from another galaxy who become castaways in a quiet coastal town.

Mullally joined Neighbours in early 2010 when Sorenson quit to join the army. His departure from the soap was announced last October.
