Ian Smith and Anne Charleston back at Neighbours
As Madge passed away following a battle against pancreatic cancer 13 years ago, show bosses are keeping tight-lipped about how, why and in what form the Bishops will reappear on Ramsay Street.
Speaking of her shock comeback, Charleston explained: "It was an immediate yes when I was invited to return for the 30th anniversary. I wouldn't have missed it and I'm thrilled with the way their story unfolds."
Smith added: "I spent half my working life on Neighbours and so it's lovely to be back with Anne and all the cast and crew."
Charleston played the role of Madge between 1986 and 1992, before returning for a second stint between 1996 and 2001.
Smith also has a long history with Neighbours, playing Harold on and off between 1987 and 2009. He last returned for a guest stint in 2011.
Neighbours will air its 30th anniversary episodes in March next year, and show producers have promised that more returning cast members have yet to be announced.
