Guess who's back...

Neighbours has confirmed that Kimberley Davies will return to the soap as Annalise Hartman after 20 years away.

The actor originally played the character between 1993 and 1996, before returning in July 2005 as part of the Australian soap's 20th anniversary.

After two decades away, it has been confirmed via the soap's official media channels that Davies will reprise her role as Annalise, with the character set to arrive in Erinsborough in the near future.

"Annalise is back in Erinsborough!" read the post on Instagram, which included a photo of the actor holding up a Ramsay Street sign. "Kimberley Davies will soon reprise her iconic role of Annalise Hartman!"

"But what brings her back to Ramsay Street after two decades away?" they teased in the caption. "One thing's for sure, Annalise soon discovers that Erinsborough has changed a hell of a lot since the 90s?"

The announcement was warmly received by fans and co-stars in the comment section, with Annie Jones - who portrays Jane Harris on the soap - sending a message including an applause emoji.

"Amazing! Annalise has always been one I wanted to come back. Would love a follow-up doco from the 20th anniversary😂" wrote one fan, with another adding: "Oh this is the golden era for me, I was just the right age."

"Ahhh, one of my all-time fav characters. What a gift for the fans before we very reluctantly have to say goodbye again," added another fan as they referenced the upcoming conclusion to the soap following its cancellation.

Another fan also suggested their own idea for further comebacks, commenting: "Aww brilliant get Natalie Imbruglia (Beth) and Sarah Vandenbergh (Lauren) back and the 3 best girls of the 90s will reunite 💖 that be amazing ❤️"

"Loved her back in the day. Hope she's just as sassy now on her return 🙌❤️," commented one fan, with another writing: "Annalise was such an underrated character. Exciting to see what's in store.."

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.

Kimberley Davies is returning to Neighbours after 20 years.

The 52-year-old actress played hairdresser Annalise Hartman from 1993 until 1996, before she reprised her character in 2005 for the Australian soap's 20th anniversary.

After arriving in the fictional Melbourne suburb Erinsborough 32 years ago, Annalise was the subject of notable storylines, including a cancer scare, surviving a plane crash and being rejected at the altar by Mark Gottlieb (Bruce Samazan).

The blonde bombshell will be coming back to Ramsay Street, and she will discover it is a completely different place to what it was in the '90s.

Captioning an image of a joyous Kimberley holding the iconic Ramsay Street sign posted on Neighbours' Instagram page, the soap wrote: "Annalise is back in Erinsborough!

Fans flocked to the post's comments section to express their excitement about the return of Kimberley and Annalise.

One follower said: "OMG! She's still as gorgeous as ever."

Another user wrote: "Woooo hoooooo. Great character. Welcome home."

A third person penned: "Ahhh, one of my all-time fav characters.

"What a gift for the fans before we very reluctantly have to say goodbye again."

Neighbours has not said how long Kimberley will be playing Annalise for, nor a date for her return.

According to The Age, Kimberley - who left the soap in 1996 to pursue other projects, which included acting in Pacific Palisades alongside Dame Joan Collins - turned down the chance to return for the Neighbours finale in 2022, so she could focus on her career and personal life.

In recent years, Kimberley has moved on from showbusiness and focused on her decorating business in Melbourne, as well as her husband Jason Harvey and their children - Isabella, Josh, and Ashton.

The actress - who took part in ITV1's I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! in 2005 - did a business studies course to begin her new career, and she previously expressed her love for running a company, as well as being a mum.

In an interview with The Age in 2007, Kimberley said: ?It's small-business management, basically - a very practical course.

?I really like the idea of incorporating a small business with motherhood.?
