Janelle Beryl Timmins (née Rebecchi) is a fictional character on the popular Australian soap opera Neighbours.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Janelle is originally from Colac, Victoria. She is mother to Dwayne, Dylan (Damien Bodie), Brandon, Janae (Eliza Taylor-Cotter), Stingray (Ben Nicholas), and Bree (Sianoa Smit-McPhee). She is wife of Kim (Brett Swain) and sister of Big Kev. Janelle used to work as Lyn's (Janet Andrewartha) apprentice at A Good Hair Day. She is a bitter, lazy woman, seen by some viewers as a typical bogan. She is used frequently in comical storylines on the programme, her opening story line being where she tried to make money from exaggerating injuries. She was involved in a "love square", where she, Lyn, and Susan (Jackie Woodburne) all had a small fling with Bobby Hoyland (Andrew McFarlane), unaware of each others' involvement. She began writing a novel about her life in Ramsay Street, which Nina Tucker's (Delta Goodrem) former singing manager, Melody Jones, would like to publish. Bree has re-written most of the book, and this was meant to be kept a secret until it was revealed inadvertently when they were both in a mock episode of Rove Live. Lyn kicked her and her family out onto the streets to live in a caravan park, but let them back into her home when she felt sorry for them. Janelle recently found happiness again with the return of her husband, Kim Timmins (Brett Swain), after she struggled to provide for a family of six children on her own (3 of which are in Erinsborough, currently, and one deceased), when her husband left her. She and Kim have since had a second wedding, and Kim is now on the run from the law for funding the wedding, and other things, by selling counterfeit DVDs.

Janelle discovered that her daughter Bree was switched at birth. Since then, Bree has been trying to find her biological family. Bree became friends with one of her book fans, a blind girl called Anne who gave Janelle the creeps, but little did Janelle know that Anne was actually her biological daughter.

Janelle was briefly Lou Carpenter's (Tom Oliver) girlfriend. She has recenly broken up with him after realising she doesn't love him but she helped him win ex-girlfriend Mishka (Deborah Kennedy) back. Recently Kim sent the family a letter that gave Janelle some closure. She is currently dating Allan Steiger (Joe Clements).

When Kerry (Claudine Henningsen), Janelle's granddaughter, was diagnosed with leukemia, Stingray became her bone marrow donor. The operation was a success, however Stingray later passed away at Janelle's "39th" birthday party.
