Ex-Neighbours Stars In Birthday Show (from Ananova)
Dozens of Neighbours stars are set to reunite for the soap's 20th anniversary.
Holly Valance who played Flick Scully, Kym Valentine, who played Libby Kennedy and Mark Little, aka Joe Mangel, could all make cameo performances in July.
Bigger stars such as Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Natalie Imbruglia and Guy Pearce have turned down the offer.
Others on the wish list include Daniel MacPherson (Joel Samuels), Terence Donovan (Doug Willis), Rachel Blakely (Gaby Willis), Eliza Szonert (Danni Stark), and Benji McNair (Mal Kennedy).
Also set to return to the screen are Kimberley Davies (Annalise Hartman), Melissa Bell (Lucy Robinson), Stephen Hunt (Matt Hancock), Emma Harrison (Joanna Hartman) and Nicola Charles (Sarah Beaumont).
Meanwhile, the BBC has rubbished claims that it is planning to replace the show with a new British-based soap.
The cooperation was rumoured to be ditching the Aussie soap to make way for a new homegrown show.
But a BBC spokeswoman said: "We have absolutely no plans to replace Neighbours in the foreseeable future."
She added: "It plays a very important part of the BBC1 schedules and is still very popular."
Neighbours remains the most-watched daytime soap on any channel, with seven million viewers tuning in each day.
I wonder what ridiculous storyline they will dream up to explain the sudden emergence of all these people. I bet there will only be one or two who actually do it though, so it probably wont be as exciting as it sounds.

There's also a rumour that our very own Robbing The Dead has been invited to guest star in a shock new storyline in which he fucks Boyd senseless at the bins round the back of the coffee shop while Mrs Mangel, Aunt Edie and Dorothy Burke look on, tutting.

Perhaps with Billy Kennedy popping back to Erinsborough for a quick sandwich? How ace does all this sound? They should have all three Lucys coming back at once and pretending to be each other's unconvincing evil triplets. |

I’m hoping for a full on, insane, Harold Bishop dream sequence, since he’s the only character that could feasibly remember all those people (even then, I think there are people who were in it during Harold’s ‘missing’ period). Then they could go completely bonkers and fulfil all our Neighbours fantasy storylines. Apart from that, a proper Kennedy family reunion would work for me (bring back Billy!).

I wish Kylie would get over herself. The stupid bitch thinks her entire success is based on her alone and her amazing charisma.

She was willing to put on a huge Charlene bubble perm wig when she played Epponee Rae in the series finale of Kath & Kim, so at some point she must be aware that her entire reputation rests on her old hairdo. (But it's a comfortable and roomy place to rest.) |

O how fucking excellent. This is the stuff that makes life worthwhile!
Plus, I have a crush on Mark Little and have hoped for many a year for his return. (Not sure if I still have a crush on him actually, haven't seen a current picture, must search the world wide web.)

The last time I saw Mark Little he was on a quiz show with a computer called 'Orifice'.

I wonder what ridiculous storyline they will dream up to explain the sudden emergence of all these people. I bet there will only be one or two who actually do it though, so it probably wont be as exciting as it sounds. They probably won't have to be too ridiculous (by Neighbours standards). Obviously the Kennedy's and Scully's can return with no problems. Paul Robinson's already back in Aus and will be in the UK soon, so Lucy will come to see him. Joe Mangel will come to see Sky. Joel, Matt and Sarah will all come to see Toadie (and Sarah-Karl storyline, one would hope) That doesn't leave many, and they'll just write it as 'they came to Erinsborough for reason X and popped to the new look Lassiters'. The Willis's could be problematic. Oh, and there's no confirmation on the 'bigger stars'; Scott Robinson's/Jason Donovan is supposed to be on the cards (he's related to Sky in real life. Though in the very stupid stakes are the rumours that Jim Robinson has filmed new scenes. Even though the character is dead. Could this be the year of Dee's return?? |

It would be great and oh so post modern if the 'more famous' ex cast members could come back in cameo form.
Kylie could be staying at Lassiters while she does a near by pop concert and guess who esle is staying there? yes Guy Pearce who is shooting a hollywood blockbuster in Erinsborough etc etc

The thing is that a few a years a go some of the kids in the pub said that Nina could be the next Kylie Minogue. So if she came back she would be "Charlene" to Harold (He will still be fuming because she missed her mums death bed scene) but "Kylie" to the younger generation and the non Ramsey family residents. Or they could come up with some ridiculous secret twin sister story. Which wouldn't be that ridiculous at all because it's Neighbours.

Surely a good bit of Hannah Robinson couldn't hurt anyone... She could come back to collect her share of the money she and Toadie technically still make from the jukebox.

They should bring back that family that were in it for a really short period of time. The son was called Matt I think. And the mum was Maggie, and Toadie bummed her.

But they were terible and noone liked them. As to Kylie being mentioned, she isn't alone. They seem rather fond of it in Neighbours. *Hannah was a big fan of Guy Pierce *Natalie Imbruglia was flagged up as an example of long distance relationships working by Summer If she was gonna come back, they'd just have to forget Toadie's mention of Kylie all that time ago. But it would be a bit silly; Charlene would never look like that, she was a tom boy wasn't she? |

But in those days noone had sex (except KArl and Susan). I don't think Karl and Sarah even had sex, or if they did it was never never mentioned and even made vaguely clear. |

Who are these people - they're ringing a bell, but can someone jog my memory more? Also, who's Stephen Hunt who's mentioned in the 1st post? |

Anna (and anyone else suffering a similar dilemma), you may find the "Cast From The Past" section on the BBC Neighbours website helpful: www.bbc.co.uk/neighbours/whoswho/ |

(But it's a comfortable and roomy place to rest.) Didn't Charlene tell Scott at one point that their marriage was OVAH? I'd like to see if Marlene finally comes back from the world's longest cruise.... |
