Lyn Scully (Janet Andrewartha)

[jessicaesutton]

When did she become so horrible?

[no1abbafan]

I know - I used to really like her - not any more tho:angry:

[LostVoodoo]

it's all a bit odd isn't it?

[hippychick215]

wheres Oscar?

[Ruffed_lemur]

I don't think Lyn is horrible. There are 2 sides to every story.

[*-Rooney-*]

I'm hating her, can't wait for her to leave

[Perdita]

She is going to be around for about 3 months, isn't she?

EDIT: She is in it for 6 motnhs.

[lizann]

What happened with her and Steph's dad?

[Abbie]

I really dont like her, shes not what I remember!

[*-Rooney-*]

wheres her son (ossie is it?)

[Abbie]

Thats a question! Things like that confuse me

[Dazzle]

I think Lyn's supposed to have become horrible after Paul treated her so badly. I like her as a "baddie" - she's so much more entertaining than she used to be.

It's not realistic that she doesn't have Oscar with her, though.

FEISTY Lyn Scully is heading for another bust-up with best friend Susan Kennedy – over her grand-daughter Summer Hoyland.

The devoted gran, starts to feel pushed out when pretty Summer confides more in Susan and less in her. So when she hears rumours that the brainy babe is having a steamy affair with Susan’s stepson Zeke Kinski she storms straight round to have it out with her pal.

A Neighbours insider said: “Lyn has been looking for an excuse to let rip.So when she finds out everyone is talking about Summer and Zeke she’s straight round to see Susan.

“She knows something has been upsetting her and was devastated when Susan let on that she knew what it was but
would not break the teenager’s confidence.

“So hearing the rumour gives her all the ammunition she needs to lay into Susan. She thinks it’s disgusting she would let them carry on under her roof without telling her.

“But of course she’s jumped to the wrong conclusion and ends up making her relationship with Summer even more strained.”

Fans of the Channel 5 soap will be able to watch the storyline unfold later this spring.

Neighbours star Janet Andrewartha has discussed her character Lyn Scully's return to Ramsay Street.

As revealed in a trailer at the end of last year, the actress has reprised her role once again and will be on screens next month.

Lyn will return to Erinsborough in a bid to help her troubled daughter Steph reconnect with her estranged son Charlie Hoyland.

Charlie is currently living with his dad Max in Fiji, but it was recently announced that Xander McGuire would be taking over the role as the 12-year old.

Steph will be keen to rebuild bridges with Charlie once she comes face to face with him again, but viewers will have to wait and see whether Lyn is responsible for bringing him back to Ramsay Street or not.

Speaking about returning to the soap, Andrewartha said: "It's always lovely catching up with older cast as we have shared so many story lines.

"However, it is also lovely to work with the new cast as well, including my new grandson and of course reconnecting with my daughter Carla [Bonner]. She still calls me 'Mamma'!"

Andrewartha revealed to TV Week: ​"I hadn't thought about Neighbours for a long time because I went back to the theatre​.

"But, when they rang and said, 'Just come in for a little while', I went, 'Yes!'"

Neighbours will air Lyn's return on Monday, February 1 in both the UK and Australia.

Lyn is back in town to make sure Steph is OK but her presence brings a bid from Paul for money.

After a rocky start settling back into Ramsay Street following treatment for the psychotic episode which led Steph to kidnap Lucas’ son thinking it was her own, Steph has managed to get her life back on track. The locals are begining to trust her again, she’s renewed her friendship with Toadie and Sonya and got a job working behind the bar at The Waterhole.

So it comes as a surprise when Steph’s mother Lyn (Janet Andrewartha) arrives in Erinsborough to check up on her daughter. Steph (Carla Bonner) has mixed emotions seeing Lyn again. While she is grateful Lyn is offering her full support to help Steph fight Charlie’s (Xander McGuire) stepmother’s adoption plans, Steph is concerned about her mother treating he the same way as when she was sick.

Her fears appear will founded when Lyn visits Karl (Alan Fletcher) and Susan (Jackie Woodburne) for information on Steph. Furious, Steph confronts Lyn who thinks twice about sticking around but stays when agreeing to respect Steph’s boundaries.

Meanwhile, Paul (Stefan Dennis) is less than thrilled at seeing his ex-wife Lyn in town until he remembers giving Lyn shares in a mining company as a wedding gift. Thrilled the shares are now worth lots of money Paul spots an opportunity to ease his financial problems and decides to woo the ownership from Lyn and invites her to dinner. Unfortunately for Paul, Lyn has put the shares in trust for Steph so Paul’s hopes of a quick windfall are dashed.

For Steph the shares are a chance to build a future for herself and Charlie. She blasts Paul for trying to steal them from Lyn. He explains that he wanted to use the cash to lease an old motel and maie it into a profitable business and Steph becomes intrigued. She thinks taking over a rundown motel could be the best way to invest the funds. Will Steph go into busniess with the person she hates motes.

Later, Lyn makes another surprise visit, this time with someone Steph has been trying so hard to get well for. Seeing Lyn’s car pull up outside with Charlie (Xander McGuire) in tow, Steph is desperate to see her son but a cautious Toadie (Ryan Moloney) warns seeing Charlie without Max’s (Stephen Lovatt) knowledge could jeopardise her custody battle. Steph is shattered but knows it’s for the best.

When Charlie finds out Steph is here in town he heads right to her door. Recalling his last encounter with Steph, Charlie is upset but Steph tries to explain to her son that she was sick. Will mother and son mend their relationship?

Neighbours is welcoming back Lyn Scully this week, and actress Janet Andrewartha has teased that her character will be naughtier than ever before.

Fans who remember a more tame and tractable Lyn could be in for a surprise when she reconciles with her old flame Paul Robinson - but not in the way some might expect.

Speaking in a Q&A video with Stefan Dennis, who plays Paul, ​Andrewartha said: "​[She] was meek, mild, humble and Christian but she's just a bit naughty now.

"She has grown a little bit and the world has battered her slightly."

Agreeing with his co-star, Dennis added: ​"We have shot it and we know the antics we are going to get up to. We know how naughty Paul and Lyn are going to be.​​"

The pair also reflected on Lyn and Paul's turbulent history, admitting they were shocked that they married so quickly.

Andrewartha said: "It was a huge rush and quite a shock both for the actors and the characters.

"It wasn't as easy to play as what we are doing now and it wasn't as much fun actually. Of course, conflict is drama."

However, when discussing whether a reunion could be on the cards for the mischievous duo, ​Andrewartha​ kept tight-lipped.

She said: "I would never second guess the writers. They come up with the most interesting ideas sometimes. I wouldn't have thought they would write that one but you never know.​"

Neighbours brings back Lyn Scully next week as she's revealed as the wellness centre's mystery new donor.

Lyn (Janet Andrewartha) returns to Erinsborough after Amy Williams comes clean to Steph about the cash she's received to save their troubled project.

Viewers have recently seen Amy get the wellness centre back on track thanks to an unidentified supporter, but she's stubbornly refused to reveal any more.

Next week, Amy is finally honest with Steph (Carla Bonner) by confessing that the cash has actually come from Lyn, who's decided to become an official investor in the wellness centre.

When Lyn pays a visit to reveal more, Steph is outraged by what's been going on behind her back – especially since the centre was originally supposed to be a not-for-profit idea.

Lyn's investment changes the entire concept and Steph isn't too keen on the idea of having to take her mum's business proposals on board.

Steph eventually reaches a compromise with Lyn by insisting that she should be a silent partner, but as most Neighbours fans will know, silence isn't something you get too often from Lyn.

Poor Steph ends up having to work overtime just to manage Lyn, and things only get worse when her interfering mother also insists on meeting her new boyfriend Jack Callahan. Will Steph be able to keep her cool as Lyn crosses the line?

Of course, it isn't long until Lyn is back to her old tricks – something that doesn't really go down well with Steph, who's got enough on her plate.

Digital Spy article:


Neighbours confirms return for Lyn Scully as mysterious Paul Robinson story continues
Why is she back?

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/neighbours/a28728785/neighbours-spoilers-lyn-scully-janet-andrewartha-return/

Neighbours has confirmed that Lyn Scully will be making a return to Ramsay Street next week.

Fan favourite Janet Andrewartha has reprised her role as Lyn, who was last seen in Erinsborough in 2017.

Lyn's latest guest stint kicks off when she turns up to conduct some interviews for the Retreat, but it's not long before she also finds some time to cause problems for her ex-husband Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis).

When Lyn gets a moment alone with Paul's fiancée Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou), she sparks trouble by strongly warning her not to go ahead with the wedding.

Lyn's intervention echoes a similar sentiment from Paul's second wife Gail Lewis (Fiona Corke), who gives Terese the same warning in this week's episodes.

Terese decides to be open with Paul about this strange coincidence, and the Ramsay Street bad boy is rattled to hear that his ex-wives are interfering.

Paul confronts Lyn, but she stands firm by pointing out that he's the common denominator in all of his failed marriages and should let Terese go if he truly loves her.

Paul soon tries to turn the tables on Lyn, accusing her of being jealous and wanting to get him back for herself. However, it's clear that Lyn has Paul rattled, as he later has a vivid daydream about Terese leaving him.

After a turbulent couple of weeks, Terese and Paul try to enjoy each other's company, looking to the future as they'll soon be married and honeymooning in Europe.

Unfortunately, Lyn knowingly warns Sheila Canning that Paul's luck is about to run out. Does this mean there's more trouble coming?

Neighbours airs these scenes on Wednesday, August 28 and Thursday, August 29 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

lol the karma bus is coming for Paul. Deserves it for all the interfering he did in Gary & Amy's relationship. Ditto Terese and Roxy/Vance. Good times!
