Neighbours has announced another familiar face returning to Erinsborough.
Lucinda Cowden will reprise the role of Melanie Pearson in episodes airing in 2021, the Australian soap announced on Twitter today (December 9).
Her return had been teased in a promo last week. Although the video had centred on star Benny Turland's dance moves, Toadie Rebecchi was spotted with a mystery woman.
No plot details have been released at the moment regarding Melanie's latest comeback.
Lucinda starred as Melanie between 1987 and 1991, with her character marrying Joe Mangel (they would later divorce off-screen). She then made appearances in 2005 for the show's 20th anniversary.
This announcement follows Jacinta Stapleton's return as Amy Greenwood, which has started airing in Australia this week. Amy swings by Erinsborough when she hears that Lassiters is looking for a new uniform design.
Channel 5 recently confirmed that Neighbours will be taking a Christmas break, with the last episode of the year airing on Wednesday, December 23. With Australia's 10 Peach not expected to take a break, this means that the transmission gap between the Australian and UK broadcasts will increase.
In the UK, viewers can expect to see Pierce Greyson's exit play out during next week's episodes, as David Tanaka, Aaron Brennan, and Nicolette Stone's baby storyline continues.
