Holly is probably best known for ITV's Hope it Rains:
Harry Nash (Tom Bell) is the proprietor of a waxworks in a rundown seaside resort. He has to struggle to make ends meet, but he manages to get by somehow. Suddenly, Harry finds himself having to cope with his god-daughter Jace Elliott (Holly Aird), who comes to stay with him after the death of her parents. Harry is a morose, self-contained individual, while Jace is a hard-bitten, abrasive young lady from a tough neighbourhood. The two take an instant dislike to one another, but have to find ways to coexist.
But the best performances for me was when she starred in Lost wher she plays a mother of a snatched toddler only to meet her some years later only to find the child does not know her having been brought up in another family
And also 15-The Life & Death of Philip Knight played by Daniel Newman where she was his social worker
