Maybe her “brutal exit” is her going to jail for killing Finn? It’s starting to seem like she isn’t going to be killed off which will be disappointing.
Still hoping it plays out that Aaron and David get Aster. With Bea dead and Finn dead or gone will mean no God parents available. With Elly in jail she will need someone to parent her baby?
Digital Spy article (I couldn't find a thread for Samantha or Claudia, so I have posted it in the Elly thread):
Neighbours lines up return for Samantha Fitzgerald as Simone Buchanan reprises the role
She'll be causing trouble for Elly.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...gerald-return/
Neighbours bosses have revealed that Samantha Fitzgerald is making a return to the show.
Simone Buchanan has reprised her role as Samantha, who was last seen in the soap in 2010.
Viewers will see Samantha's return as Finn Kelly's villainous rampage on Pierce Greyson's island has big repercussions in Erinsborough.
As Finn's mother Claudia Watkins (Kate Raison) heads back to Erinsborough in search of answers, the Kennedys are tense about seeing her again.
Claudia is sympathetic towards the traumatised family, but Elly Conway remains wary after Claudia's previous bad behaviour.
Showing kindness, Elly allows Claudia to spend some quality time with her granddaughter, baby Aster.
Claudia puts on a show of being grateful, but events take a twist when she's later seen with Samantha.
Sneaky Claudia believes that Samantha could be her secret weapon to gain custody of Aster, but Elly is oblivious. Could Claudia and Samantha's alliance cause even more turmoil for Elly and the Kennedys?
Samantha first appeared on Neighbours in 2008, when she was introduced as the estranged wife of Daniel Fitzgerald. Her main storylines included a love triangle with Daniel and Libby Kennedy, while her struggles with bipolar disorder were also explored.
In 2010, Samantha returned as the prosecutor when Steph Scully went on trial for killing Ringo Brown in a road accident.
Neighbours airs these scenes on Friday, April 3 at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).

Neighbours reveals big aftermath from the show's third death
One character faces serious allegations.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...ath-aftermath/
Neighbours fans will see Elly Conway face big trouble in the aftermath of Finn Kelly's shock death.
Elly (Jodi Anasta) will find herself under strong suspicion as the police fear that Finn's demise wasn't an accident.
Tuesday's episode (March 24) featured Rob Mills's final scenes in the role of Finn, who got the comeuppance he deserved when he drowned in the shallow grave that he'd dug for Susan Kennedy.
Finn's death was an accident of his own making, but Elly behaved suspiciously at the scene by climbing into the grave to check whether Finn was really dead. She was also seen trying to bury him when the police arrived.
In tense scenes airing on Wednesday (March 25), Elly will be questioned thoroughly by the police – and her ex-husband Mark Brennan is worried when he hears how guilty she sounds.
Mark feels even worse when Sky Mangel (Stephanie McIntosh) is revealed as the detective who'll be leading the case.
Sky is under pressure from her bosses to make sure the investigation is dealt with properly, due to so much public scrutiny surrounding Finn's actions.
Mark fears that it's only a matter of time before Elly finds herself caught in the middle of the situation.
Sure enough, it's not long before Elly is concerned too, as the level of police attention she's receiving seems high. Elly can't help worrying that the authorities are trying to gather together as much evidence as possible to charge her with Finn's murder.
The situation grows increasingly bleak for Elly when the full forensics report comes back from the crime scene, which leads to her facing charges.
Mark believes that Elly is innocent but Sky thinks otherwise, urging Elly to see that it's in her best interests to come clean and cooperate.
Toadie Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) agrees to take on Elly's case, even though it will mean fighting against Sky, an old friend. Are battle lines being drawn?
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
Obviously they don't believe her and it goes to trial. Reckon she does get the non guilty verdict but she ends up leaving with too many bad memories. Obviously the leadup to the trial is dark.
Only way to explain her departure. Definitely a trial

Neighbours star Jodi Anasta films Elly Conway's final scenes
"Peace out Melbs."
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...-final-scenes/
Neighbours star Jodi Anasta has confirmed that she has filmed her final scenes.
Jodi is leaving the Australian soap – after playing Elly Conway for nearly four years – to move back to Sydney so that she can spend more time with her daughter as well as pursue other projects.
In a new Instagram post, the star said goodbye to Melbourne, where the show is filmed.
Peace out Melbs, you have been the most incredible journey yet!!" she said.
"Thank you @artserieshotels for giving me a home away from home. I started my Neighbours journey at this hotel 4 years ago and now I've ended it in the same way.
"Big love to everyone xx"
Jodi's departure from the show was announced in January, and last month, she suggested that fans can expect a "brutal" exit storyline for the character.
"I don't have any say in the way I exit the show, but I'm very, very happy with my exit," she said at the time. "It will be next-level brutal. I can't believe I get to do this on television."
Viewers have seen Elly survive Finn Kelly's island terror, but finds herself in trouble as the police suspect she may have killed the villain.
Elly actually had no part in Finn's death – so could she go down for a crime that she didn't commit?
Meanwhile, Neighbours is taking a two-week break from filming starting today (March 27). The production hiatus had been planned to start next Friday, but was brought forward due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Neighbours airs on Channel 5 (UK) and 10 Peach (Australia).

6 huge Neighbours theories over Elly Conway's exit storyline
She's leaving later this year, but how?
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...y-conway-exit/
Neighbours' Elly Conway is leaving her troubled times on Ramsay Street behind soon, as star Jodi Anasta is departing the show after four years in the role.
Elly has been pivotal to some significant storylines over her tenure. From sleeping with her fiancé's sister to drinking the bars of Melbourne dry, to being front and centre for the dramatic, Finn-focused 35th anniversary storyline.
But how will someone who has been at the heart of so much drama leave the show? Let's delve into some big theories.
1. Elly dies
Let's start with the one that we can most confidently rule out. We don't think death is on the cards for Elly for a number of reasons – least of which being the recent trauma that has impacted Ramsay Street. They've already lost their resident villain Finn Kelly, friendly and lovable Gary was taken out, and Harlow will be grieving her mother for some time.
There's also the matter of those who live at Number 28. Susan and Bea (and, to an extent, Karl) have already been put through the wringer of late – would the writers of the show really heap more misery on them by killing Elly?
That being said, many fans see baby Aster staying on the show in the care of David and Aaron. And Jodi herself has said that her exit is incredibly dark. No, they wouldn't. Would they?
2. Elly's new home is prison
From what we consider the least likely, to the idea that seems to be getting more credible as the episodes go by. Finn died at his own hands (or feet), but beginning to bury the body as the police arrived probably wasn't Elly's smartest move – although we understand that Finn put her through a lot, especially in his final few days.
Now Elly has Detective Sky Mangel on the case, who doesn't seem to believe her innocence. Sam Fitzgerald, a lawyer with a grudge against the Kennedys, will also be keen to see her sent down. Could we really see this new mother sent to prison for a murder she didn't commit? Stay tuned.
3. Elly gets a Ramsay Street exit
Could we be way off base with the high drama angle and actually just see Elly wave goodbye to friends and family before heading off to start a new life in somewhere like Sydney? It wouldn't surprise us if she was to make this choice, providing she gets a say in her departure, that is.
The whole street must bring back bad memories for Elly, including her failed marriage and everything to do with Finn, so it would be easy to understand why she feels the need to move on and a make fresh start.
But would a character who has had this much of an impact just be given a quiet goodbye? We don't think so – but then it would be nice to see her get a happy ending after everything she's been through of late.
4. A reunion with Shaun
Okay, so maybe this is the least likely option on the list. Shaun, Aster's father and Finn's brother, was killed in an avalanche off-screen before Aster was even born – and given that was several months ago, it would be a bit of stretch to see him show up unscathed now.
Still, with this show known for characters not staying dead – Harold, Woody, Mark and Dee to name just a few – it wouldn't be too surprising to see Shaun back in town to help give Elly a happy ending.
Maybe his mother, Claudia, is just as twisted as Finn was and has kept him hidden against his will the whole time? Unlikely, but not impossible.
5. A turning point for Liz
To be honest, this is our favourite idea for a number of reasons, not least the fact that we would just love to have Debra Lawrance back on our screens as Elly's mother and Susan's sister, Liz. Lawrance clearly has such fun playing a role that is worlds apart from the loving Pippa in Home and Away.
While Liz still has Bea to come and visit, we can't imagine the writers letting us miss out on one last opportunity to have all three Conway women on screen at the same time.
It would also be a nice way to develop the character, too. Elly has been through so much these last few months (and has an ordeal ahead of her), so Liz coming back to be a proper mother and promising to look after her back home would be a lovely way for these two to bow out.
6. One last time for Chelly
It would be remiss not to mention a couple that has had a legion of supporters since they first showed an interest in each other. While it could be argued that Elly and Chloe aren't the healthiest of pairings (they've tried to be more than friends before, and there's the whole issue of them sleeping together when Elly was marrying Chloe's brother), there is undeniable chemistry between them both.
There are a legion of Chelly supporters on social media and April Rose Pengilly, who plays Chloe, has herself made it clear that she loves the two of them together.
Could one last moment between these two be on the way? Given Chloe is married to Pierce now, it does seem like a scenario that could provide the writers with some drama even after Elly has left Erinsborough.
Neighbours currently airs on Mondays and Fridays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and weeknights at 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
Digital Spy article:
Neighbours star Jodi Anasta promises surprising exit storyline for Elly Conway
"What's going to happen is very unpredictable."
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...ay-exit-story/
Neighbours star Jodi Anasta has spoken to Digital Spy about her exit storyline, hinting that viewers will be surprised by the way her character Elly Conway leaves the show.
Jodi recently announced that she'll be bowing out from the Aussie soap after four years in the role of Elly.
Elly's current storyline sees her in big trouble after being wrongly blamed for the death of Finn Kelly, leading to speculation that she could go to prison.
In a new exclusive chat with Digital Spy, Jodi explained: "I remember I spoke to the producers six months ago about the start of Elly's departure storyline.
"Endgame and Finn's death were among the things that came up. Now for Elly to be in this scary position in the aftermath of that, it's exciting and really intense.
"But the thing people don't know is how unpredictable the story will be. Most people think that Elly will go to jail and then I leave. It's not that!
"What's going to happen is very unpredictable and I love that. It's great for the viewers."
She continued: "I've read a couple of things on social media and in the media about how people think Elly will leave, but it's not at all what people expect. It's really exciting, really beautiful, scaet and unpredictable.
"But Elly has a bit of a way to go – I don't think my last scene is on air until June or July. It'll be interesting, as this plot keeps unfolding, to see what people's thoughts are and where people think it will go.
"It's been an amazing four years on Neighbours, but in the last couple of months in particular, I've been able to have so much fun with actors and actresses who you wouldn't expect me to be having scenes with."
Jodi also explained why she's leaving Neighbours after Elly's four-year run of dramatic storylines.
She said: "I think it was just time. Elly has done so many things that have been amazing. She's been through the ins and the outs, and the ups and the downs. I think we both just felt: 'Where else do we go from here?' So it felt like it was time.
"I know we're in the middle of coronavirus at the moment but it's nice to be back at home with my daughter and get back to basics – being a mum, and a teacher at the moment as well! It's nice to get back to what's important to me."
Neighbours currently airs Mondays and Fridays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and weekdays at 6:30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
Would Shaun want Elly now after Finn's death, yes to wanting his daughter though
But would Elly want Shaun though? I don’t see that being the best outcome. After everything that happened, I’d want to forget it all not become part of the family...
Digital Spy article:
Neighbours star Jodi Anasta reveals surprising news over Elly and Chloe's future
Could they still reunite?
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...chloe-brennan/
Neighbours star Jodi Anasta has hinted that there's still hope for Elly Conway and Chloe Brennan's future as a couple.
The pair were briefly an item last year but went their separate ways, which ultimately led to Chloe (April Rose Pengilly) reuniting with Pierce Greyson (Tim Robards).
Elly will be departing Ramsay Street later this year, as Jodi is leaving the show. However, in an exclusive chat with Digital Spy, Jodi insisted that this doesn't necessarily mean the end for Elly and Chloe.
Asked whether she'd return to the show one day, Jodi told us: "My whole thing is that Elly has to come back and get Chloe! That has been my thing from day one.
"I thought: 'It's definitely time for me to leave, but I don't want Chelly to be over just yet'. So I guess it's in the hands of the script department and the producers and we'll see what happens towards the end of the year."
Responding to fans who think that Chloe and Elly's relationship was too brief, Jodi continued: "What I say to them is 'never say never'. I know it would seem like it's done because I've left the show, but there's always other options around that.
"Even I haven't given up on Chelly. So if I haven't given up, no-one else should. I just loved their relationship. Honestly, it was one of my favourite storylines, along with the Mark Brennan story and the wedding.
"It was so unexpected and I do think it would be a shame for anyone to give up on that."
Jodi announced her departure from Neighbours in January after a four-year run as Elly.
Her current storyline sees Elly facing serious accusations over the accidental death of Finn Kelly, but there are more twists and turns ahead before she leaves the show later in the year.
Neighbours currently airs Mondays and Fridays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and weekdays at 6:30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
After reading things and putting stuff together I think she leaves
A) With Shaun who is alive
B) Moves overseas with Claudia
The second option will be the shock one people don't expect

Neighbours star Jodi Anasta returning to set to give Elly Conway a fitting send-off
"I'm really relieved."
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...conway-scenes/
Neighbours actress Jodi Anasta will give her character Elly Conway "the send-off she deserves" following a period of uncertainty.
Back in January, Jodi announced that she'd be departing the soap to pursue other projects and move back to Sydney, but the coronavirus-inspired shutdown of production threw a spanner in the works.
Appearing on her co-star Takaya Honda's interview series Tak Talks recently, Jodi confirmed what her upcoming plans were.
"I'm flying back to Melbourne on Sunday (April 26) to start Neighbours again," she said
"I'll be back for two weeks, which is so exciting. I get to go back and see the whole gang again which will be so much fun."
The pandemic threatened to dry up the emotion of Elly's exit, so Jodi is relieved to be given another bite at the cherry when she returns to the set this weekend.
"I didn't get to say bye to anyone and I didn't know if I would have the opportunity to, you know, I didn't know what was going to happen," she added.
"So I'm really relieved that they've kind of rewritten the scenes and yeah, I get to come back for another two weeks – give Elly the send-off she deserves!"
Neighbours airs on Channel 5 in the UK and on 10 Peach in Australia.

Neighbours star Jodi Anasta leaves set for the final time after filming new exit scenes for Elly
"We out."
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...way-final-day/
Neighbours star Jodi Anasta wished the soap's set a tearful farewell recently, after filming her final scenes as fictional English teacher Elly Conway.
The Aussie actor, who has been a part of the long-running series since July 2016, took to Instagram on Friday (May 8) to share a video of herself leaving the building for the last time.
She captioned the clip, which you can watch above, by writing: "And we out.... some of the best memories of my life. Thank you @neighbours I love you all, especially you [Bonnie Anderson]."
"Oh yeah! Say goodbye Jodes," Anderson – who plays Elly's half-sister Bea Nilsson on the show – can be heard exclaiming in the background of the clip, as she holds up the camera to capture the moment while the star wipes away a tear.
She didn't stop there either, as she later commented on the post: "Spread your wings my sis! You are a best friend and a sister I gained. I am so thankful for you."
As the cast and crew are currently divided due to the current pandemic, many of Anasta's co-stars were forced to send over their well wishes via social media.
"Can't breathe!! Hurts too much!!! Good luck for the next chapter and hug you when I'm legally able," Sharon Johal wrote on the post, as Jemma Donovan added: "Sending so much love!"
"So hard to say goodbye today and not be able to hug you! ♥️ You and will see you again soon!!" Takaya Honda gushed.
"All the best jodes! Stay safe & see you soon," Ben Hall typed, as Rebekah Elmaloglou chimed in: "We will miss you."
Anasta announced she was leaving back in January, explaining to fans that she's keen to pursue other projects.
Last month, she revealed during an interview on Honda's podcast TakTalks that she was returning to set for two weeks to give Elly "the send-off she deserves" despite tricky restrictions due to COVID-19.
Neighbours will resume airing on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and weekdays at 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia) from Monday May 11.

Neighbours reveals Elly Conway's ultimate fate after big new twist
But how far will Claudia go to keep Aster?
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...-prison-twist/
Neighbours character Elly Conway will be released from prison.
TV Soap magazine in Australia reports that in upcoming episodes, Elly (Jodi Anasta) will continue to struggle behind bars, not only being away from Aster but also facing torment from Claudia Watkins (Kate Raison).
Elly is devastated when she learns that Claudia has taken custody of Aster from the Kennedys, and worse yet, Claudia visits Elly with Aster to rub it in – which leads to Elly attempting to run away with her baby.
Chloe (April Rose Pengilly) decides to take action and, with Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson), comes across some powerful dirt against Claudia.
Claudia tries to subtly bribe Aaron into keeping quiet by promising to help him and David Tanaka become parents, but this fails. Claudia then tries to flee the country to Switzerland, only to find at the airport that her son Shaun is still alive and standing in front of her.
Shaun shares his avalanche ordeal and how he recovered from serious injuries in an abandoned hut amid freezing conditions, and Claudia agrees to give up Aster and hand herself into the police.
Elly ends up being released from prison when Toadie Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) catches something suspicious about her sentencing.
Elly returns home but mentally struggles, particularly as she tries to process the fact that Shaun is not dead, and she soon has a breakdown.
In the UK, Channel 5 viewers have just seen Elly being sentenced.
Neighbours currently airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and at 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
Noticed the actress playing Claudia sounded and looked familiar- and she was, playing Cathy in A country practice and she was also in E Street. Pictured in the link with "Mr Bad" lol

Neighbours boss teases Elly Conway's exit storyline as Jodi Anasta bows out
There's a chance she could return.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...e-jodi-anasta/
Neighbours boss Jason Herbison has teased what's in store for Elly Conway's final scenes as actor Jodi Anasta bows out of the long-running Australian series.
Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, the executive producer appeared to hint that Elly is set to leave Ramsey Street for more of a low-key reason, in contrast to the more drama-filled storylines she's been a part of up until now.
"Elly is one of those great Neighbours characters who has literally been through everything – she's loved, she's lost, she's become a mum and she's fallen for all the wrong people," Herbison explained. "We were mindful of this when plotting her exit."
Following on from that, he seemingly went on to suggest that the show won't be killing Elly off – as soaps typically love to do – as they're leaving the door "wide open for her to return" if Anasta ever decides to make a comeback.
"With so many connections of her still on the street, I can see that happening one day," he concluded.
Back in April, Anasta claimed that her character's departure storyline is set to be "very unpredictable," and shot down the fan theory that she's going to be sent to prison.
"I remember I spoke to the producers six months ago about the start of Elly's departure storyline," she said. "Endgame and Finn's death were among the things that came up. Now for Elly to be in this scary position in the aftermath of that, it's exciting and really intense.
"Most people think that Elly will go to jail and then I leave. It's not that!"
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
Please no, let her stay away for good! She’s a terrible actress!!Quote:

Neighbours reveals first look at Elly Conway return amid hopes of reunion with Chloe
The moment Chelly fans have been waiting for?
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...eunion-chelly/
Neighbours spoilers follow.
Chloe Brennan and Elly Conway are back on screen together for the final week of Neighbours, but are we about to see them give romance a proper try?
Chloe and Elly's romance fizzled out as quickly as it started when they were last together. An affair, while Elly was engaged to Chloe's brother, was never the healthiest of starts, and it only took one date for them to realise that they were better off as friends.
Chloe moved on with Pierce and then Nicolette, while Elly left for a new life in Switzerland with Shaun and Astor.
Elly and Shaun were not meant to be though, and while Chloe is packing up her things to move to Adelaide, she is blindsided when Elly turns up to suggest that they give things another try instead.
While this would have been something that Chloe would have jumped at in the past, she finds herself feeling more concerned about the potential reunion than she is excited.
Not wanting to be hurt again, Chloe is torn over what to do and reaches out to those closest to her to try and get her head around the complicated developments.
Now that Elly has declared her true feelings, will Chloe decide to move to Sydney with her instead, or will she think that taking a chance on Elly is too much of a risk?
Chloe is not the only person selling up and planning to leave Ramsay Street behind as Karl and Susan learn in dramatic scenes next week.
The Kennedys are stunned when every house on the street except theirs is put up for sale. Are they about to be the last two residents standing?
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 6pm on Channel 5 and streams on My5. In Australia, the show airs Mondays to Thursdays at 6.30pm on 10 Peach and streams on 10 Play.
her return for chloe very very rushed and out of nowhere
Very cringe and unexpected. Fair that Elly has found herself but there?s no chemistry left with Chloe.
It came across as quite desperate.
Didn't work out with Mark, didn't work out with Shaun. Let's go back to Chloe.
Although she did say Chloe turned up at her house...
I never felt the chemistry with them.
me eitherQuote:

"Jodi Gordon celebrating one year of sobriety, excited by potential Neighbours return
Actor Jodi Gordon has opened up on her sobriety journey ahead of a major milestone for the TV starlet.
Actor Jodi Gordon will mark a year sober in an unexpected way.
The former Home and Away starlet intends on keeping herself centred on the anniversary of her sobriety.
?I will probably have an ice bath and meditate at sunrise to be honest,? Gordon told The Daily Telegraph. ?It will be a very big milestone for me.?
Gordon, 38, spent a month in rehab last year and has since focused on getting her health ? mental and physical ? back on track.
She has been vocal in sharing her story in the hope of helping others.
?Life has changed dramatically and I am just embracing every part of it,? said Gordon, an ambassador for supplements brand, Life Botanics.
?It has been a really big year for me; it has had its ups and downs but like anyone in the first year of recovery, it is hard. The first year is about taking things really slowly, taking one day at a time and just looking after myself and going with the flow of life as much as I can.?
Gordon has been a fixture on Aussie TV for almost 20 years, rising to national fame playing Martha MacKenzie on Home and Away. Her other acting credits include Underbelly: Badness and Camp.
On the acting front, things are looking good.
With TV soap Neighbours given a lifeline and set to return after being axed last year, Gordon said she would love to reprise her role as Elly Conway on the show.
?There have been conversations but I am not sure yet,? she said. ?I love that show. I am so grateful for my time there, they were like a family to me, not to mention I love my character.?
In November, The Daily Telegraph revealed Neighbours would be returning after producers Fremantle had secured Amazon Freevee and Prime Video as international partners.
The move will see the show brought back to life after it made global headlines with its 37 year run hitting an abrupt halt last year.
Details on the production are yet to be announced, although the only actors so far announced are Jackie Woodburne, Alan Fletcher, Stefan Dennis and Ryan Moloney as they are set to return to fictional Ramsay Street.
?I was stunned, to tell you the truth, I was just speechless,? Woodburne said in November when the lifeline was announced.
?It didn?t sink into my brain because it was the last thing I was expecting, I truly was in shock. It?s the best job ever. I get to work with my beautiful faux-husband Alan Fletcher again, which will be such a joy.? "

Neighbours confirms Elly Conway's return storyline as Jodi Gordon reprises the role
Chloe prepares for a difficult conversation.
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/nei...-return-story/
Neighbours spoilers follow.
Neighbours has shared the first official details of Elly Conway's return to Erinsborough.
Elly makes her comeback next week as Jodi Gordon reprises the role once again.
Viewers have already seen Elly feature in Neighbours' recent flashback scenes, but this is the first time that she has appeared in the present day since the revival season began.
Elly's visit to Erinsborough comes shortly after her partner Chloe Brennan confides in Nicolette Stone about a secret she has been keeping.
Nicolette encourages Chloe to be honest with Elly ? and even briefly considers sharing the news herself. In the end, though, Nicolette agrees to give Chloe the space she needs to deal with the situation herself.
When Elly returns, she's loved-up and excited to spend some time with Chloe.
A hesitant Chloe delays having the difficult conversation she knows she needs to face, even when Elly worries that there's trouble in their relationship.
As Elly settles back into Erinsborough, can Chloe muster up the courage to be honest?
Jodi Gordon's return to Neighbours was announced in May this year, and she expressed her excitement over Elly and Chloe sharing more screen time.
"I don't think that part of Neighbours has ever left me," Gordon said at the time.
"The fans are very vocal, and when I found [out the show] was being picked up again, I thought there might be a possibility of bringing the characters back together in some way so it's great to see."
Neighbours airs these scenes on Wednesday, December 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.
