Neighbours announces 13 epic returns and a major recast in explosive week – and fans were right all along
NEIGHBOURS has announced 13 epic characters are returning to the reboot – including one that’s been recast.
The Australian soap returned to screen two months ago after being revived by Amazon Freevee.
However, fans were left confused as it was revealed Ramsay Street had jumped two years.
It caused head-scratching as Paul and Terese were no longer an item, with the businesswoman getting hitched to Toadie.
But now bosses will fill in the blanks by going back in time for a tell-all flashback week.
It will see a whopping 13 stars return to the famous street – including Nicolette who has been recast.
Charlotte Chimes won’t be returning to the role, with Hannah Monson being confirmed as her replacement.
Eagle-eyed fans had already predicted the move, having spotted Nicolette’s pictures updated in Jane’s family photos.
Also returning are Takaya Honda (as David Tanaka), Matt Wilson (as Aaron Brennan), April Rose Pengilly (as Chloe Brennan), Jodi Gordon (as Elly Conway), Bonnie Anderson (as Bea Nilsson) and Jacinta Stapleton (as Amy Greenwood).
Completing the mega lineup are Olivia Junker (as Yashvi Rebecchi), Benji McNair (as Mal Kennedy), Ian Rawlings (as Phil Martin), Morgan Baker (as Callum Rebecchi) and Ariel Kaplan (as Imogen Willis).
Teasing what’s to come on Neighbours, its executive producer Jason Herbison said: “The new season began with some major shocks for the audience – but is everything as it seems?
“Flashback week will take us back in time and explore what really happened over the last two years.
“By the end of it, everything will be changed for the residents, with the ramifications lasting for months to come.”
Neighbours is available to stream on Amazon Freevee.
