Long-standing Neighbours fans will be delighted to hear that actress Annie Jones will be returning to the show, after a 29-year absence. She used to play Jane Harris and is going to be reprising the role in a shock return.

Annie appeared in the show from 1986 to 1989, working alongside a young Kylie Minogue. Her character was given the nickname Plain Jane Superbrain.

Speaking about returning to the show, Annie told The Sun:

“I was absolutely thrilled to be asked to return to Neighbours. As an actor, the best thing you can be is a working actor.

I’ve done a lot of guest roles but usually very short lived so this has been lovely to come back for an extended period and really get my teeth into a part.”
