Neighbours spoilers follow.
Neighbours bosses have confirmed that Lucy Robinson will make another return appearance later this month.
Melissa Bell has reprised the role of Lucy for the funeral of David Tanaka, which airs in mid-February.
New spoiler pictures show her arriving back in Erinsborough to attend her nephew's emotional send-off.
Lucy is seen comforting her brother Paul, who's in shock and struggling with grief for his beloved son.
Viewers have seen Lucy return for guest stints on several occasions over the past few years.
She was last seen in September 2023 for a handful of episodes when Neighbours returned for its new season on Amazon Freevee.
Fans have been heaping praise on Neighbours for Thursday's powerful episode, which saw David lose his life in a heroic act.
David jumped in to save his twin brother Leo, who was being attacked by evil Eden Shaw during a holiday in a remote bush location.
David and Eden fell from a cliff in the struggle and were both seriously injured but, downplaying his own condition, David insisted Eden should be rescued first.
When Leo and Aaron Brennan returned to help David, they were devastated to discover that he'd passed away.
Takaya Honda, who plays David, recently told Digital Spy: "David dies a hero. He's very active in his death and it's definitely a choice where he chooses to save his brother, because that's more important to him than his own life. It was a wonderful thing to be a part of, and I'm really glad I've been able to finish off the character that way."
He added: "I think for my mental health, it's probably good that David is killed off, just because it puts a line in the sand. There were only ever two ways that David would have left Aaron, Isla and Nicolette ? which was that he would die or that he'd go to jail.
"Going back to jail would have been a lame thing to have happened and so death it was. The way that the show has built this story, and also executed it at such a high level, means that it hopefully will go down as one of the major deaths in Neighbours history - for good reasons, not bad ones."
Neighbours airs David's funeral on Tuesday, February 13.
Neighbours releases new episodes from Mondays to Thursdays for free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. In Australia, the show airs from Mondays to Thursdays at 4pm on Channel 10, with a 6.30pm repeat screening on 10 Peach.

I agree DAVIDs death will go down as one of the best in NEIGHBOURS, if not the best for me.

Neighbours fans spot returning character in behind-the-scenes video
She's back!
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...urn-lassiters/
Neighbours spoilers follow.
Neighbours fans have spotted a returning character in a behind-the-scenes video.
The soap's official TikTok account uploaded a funny little video of Taye Obasi actor Lakota Johnson having a little jig around in the Lassiters set to Doechii's 'Anxiety'.
It's not long before Paul Robinson actor Stefan Dennis comes into frame and shoos him off, before jumping on the desk to start dancing himself.
That's when Lucy Robinson actor Melissa Bell popped into the video, leaving fans wondering if the star ? who often comes in and out of the soap for short stints ? would be coming back again.
In response to a fan query, the official account commented: "Who else is going to keep Lassiters running?!"
Paul's younger sister Lucy is head of the whole international company Lassiters Worldwide Development, but is the comment insinuating that she might be coming in to take a more active role in running the local Lassiters?
Since the show returned under Amazon, Lucy appeared in some of the early episodes, and then again in February 2024 to comfort Paul in David Tanaka's funeral scenes.
It's also been confirmed that Briony Behets will also be coming back to Neighbours, reprising the role of Amanda Harris a whopping 38 years after she last played her.
Later this month, viewers will see her move into Eirini Rising and reconnect with daughter Jane and grandchildren Byron and Nicolette.
Neighbours releases new episodes from Mondays to Thursdays for free on Amazon Freevee and Prime Video in the UK and US. In Australia, the show airs from Mondays to Thursdays at 4pm on Channel 10, with a 6.30pm repeat screening on 10 Peach Comedy.
