In a major coup for the long-running serial drama, beloved British actors Kym Marsh and Samuel Thomas have been confirmed to join the cast of the revived Neighbours. The announcement sends waves of excitement through the show's dedicated fanbase, promising a fresh injection of intrigue and talent to Ramsay Street.
The duo, renowned for their acclaimed roles in Coronation Street, are set to begin filming on the iconic Australian soap this autumn. Their arrival marks a significant moment for the production, which triumphantly returned to screens last year on Amazon Freevee, with the BBC also securing terrestrial rights.
A Family Affair on Ramsay Street
Marsh and Thomas won't just be sharing the screen; they'll be portraying a compelling mother-and-son duo, adding a new dynamic to the Erinsborough community. While specific character details remain a closely guarded secret, their casting is sure to shake up the established order and create new, gripping storylines.
This isn't Marsh's first foray into Australian television, having previously appeared in Stars in Their Eyes down under. Thomas, who captivated audiences as Sam Aston in the ITV soap, is also no stranger to high-profile drama.
Joining Soap Royalty
They will be acting alongside bona fide soap legends. The incredible Jackie Woodburne, who has played the indefatigable Susan Kennedy for nearly three decades, continues to be a cornerstone of the show. Furthermore, pop icon and actress Dannii Minogue is also confirmed to be returning in her guest role as herself, adding an extra layer of glamour to the proceedings.
The new season is currently in production in Melbourne, ensuring that the sun-soaked, suburban charm that fans adore will be back in full force. This star-studded casting proves that Neighbours is back, bolder, and more ambitious than ever before.
