Which Former Neighbours Character Would You Like To See Back On Ramsay Street?

That's true. And Nicola Charles as well. I wonder why they weren't asked to come back. They were pretty legendary. Nicola Charles was involved in one of the most memorable Neighbours storyline - her affair with Dr. Karl.

I read that the actor who used to play Lou has retired from acting. And Carla Bonner (Stephanie) apparently left due to issues with bosses though how true that is I don't know. I don't know why Lyn hasn't been asked back but I think it's a shame as she was a great character. She and Susan had an amazing friendship and it would have been great to see them on screen together one last time.

I also heard that carla Bonner had had a dispute that led to her decision to leave but no idea if that's true or not. But either way, it's a terrible shame that she won't be back given her history with the show. And yes, Tom Oliver has retired, and as selfish as this may be, I do wish he'd come out of retirement for an episode or two!

Same here as well. I think we've all got a list of characters we'd have loved to have seen come back but we know that at this stage, it's definitely not happening.

From this list, it seems that it's mostly stars who appeared in Neighbours when it was no longer the most watched show on TV. And some of them are very recent characters like Ned, Yashvi, Roxy etc. I think for those of us who watched the show right from the beginning, we would have preferred some of the more iconic characters from when the show was big to make an appearance.

But at least we have Scott and Charlene and of course over the weekend, it was announced that Mike is also coming back so that is something.

@Madame Bo I'd of preferred more of the old timers myself!

I'd like to see the Alessi twins back in Ramsay Street. It was great seeing them last time but I don't feel they were back for long enough.

I also think that the whole Dee storyline was a real waste of time. Why bother bringing her back from the dead, reunite her with Toadie for a short while and then have her leave like that again? I think there was more they could of done with that story.

And also why are they bringing in new characters when the show is almost over? No one cares about Theresa's mum or that new family in the Cannings old house. There is no time for them to develop as characters or anything. I'd rather they just started bringing back some of the old characters from this point on.

@Madame Bo My guess is that these storylines were already planned long before Channel 5 pulled the plug on everything. They could of scrapped them but they've obviously chosen to go ahead with them. It is a bit pointless this late in the day to bring in new characters but what can you do. One good thing is that we won't have to suffer that sargent's wife for much longer. She is so irritating!

So true, I'm afraid. In fact after August, the whole of the current cast will be former Neighbours' characters! 😮

Apparently they're trying to get a whole lot of past characters back before the show ends. But of course it'll be for the last time.

@DonnaBella I know you wrote this back in March Donna, but we now know that it's not apparently and luckily for us a whole bunch of old stars are coming back.

I do hope they bring Bev back before the show wraps up for good.

I loved those characters too and was disappointed when they left - even though Donna annoyed the hell out of me when she first arrived! But as Margot Robbie has moved on in her career I, like you, can't see her returning any time soon.

Donna was cool but it's true guys, she ain't coming back!

It was great seeing them both back but I did think that the Skye-is-now-detective storyline a bit farfetched. I mean come on - Toadie or even Kyle would have known that ages ago which means the rest of Ramsay Street would've known!

@Angel Noire Yeah, I really couldn't see her as a detective. I wonder if that's a storyline someone pulled out of the air at the last minute. 🤔

@Poisson Rouge Probably was! Though that said, she was a great detective.

Haha! Never thought of Ramsay Street as having it's very own Laurel and Hardy but you're right!

I'm actually quite shocked that Lou is not coming back for the last ever episodes. He was such a big character for many years so I don't get why they never asked him to return.

I have to say I've never been more delighted to be proved wrong! I've said many times on here that having the king and queen of Ramsay Street return was just a dream. But it looks as though the dream is coming true... I also hear that Peter O'Brien who played Shane will also be returning. Wonderful news!

@Angel Noire Yeah Angel. It looks like you spoke too soon. 😁

@Bailamos Haha! I am indeed! Haha! Looking forward to seeing Scott and Charlene Back in Erinsborough.

Haha! I would love to see those on the no-longer-with-us list return! And I agree with you about Sonia - a totally bonkers decision to get rid of an amazing character. Furthermore there was no questioning Eve Morey's acting abilities - can't say the same for some of the other actors unfortunately!

It was Emma Harrison who played Joanna Hartman. I remember when she was written out a spokesman for Neighbours said in their statement something along the lines of Emma 'not being an actress.'

Well did they not know that when they hired her???

@Angel Noire god she was awful! I don't know who hired her to play Joanna Hartman. I'm sure there were tons of other actresses they could of chosen from. I remember she always seemed to have the exact same expression.

LOL! I'd like to see the actress who played Joanna brought back to see if her acting skills have improved at all. 😂
