Olympia Valance confirms she will return to Ramsay Street for the Neighbours finale.
The 29-year-old model left the popular soap in 2018 after four years as Paige Smith.
Less than a week ago, executive producers of Neighbours announced that Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan will be sharing the screen for the final time.
Olympia reminisced about her time on Neighbours on Instagram, announcing her comeback.
‘Neighbours has always seemed like home to me,’ she told Neos Kosmos.
A reason why everyone calls Neighbours the world’s best training ground.
After losing its main UK broadcast partner Channel 5, the show’s discontinuation in March made her very upset.
« It’s really special to step back into Paige’s shoes as Australia bids farewell to its most iconic television programme, » she remarked.
Olympia didn’t say if her half-sister and Neighbours veteran Holly Valance will be accompanying her at the finale.
Holly, now 38, began her career as a music sensation and actor after leaving Neighbours in 2002.
Their father is Rajko Vukadinovi.
Olympia, who is engaged to former AFL star Thomas Bellchambers, claimed the couple will honeymoon in Greece after marrying later this year.
The show’s chief producer, Jason Herbison, recently paid tribute to Kylie and Jason, expressing his joy at their comeback.
The ultimate Neighbours couple, he said on Instagram.
‘It wouldn’t feel right without them.’
Filming the programme was emotional for both the couple and the show’s production team, he added.
In episode 523 of Donovan, Scott Mitchell and Charlene Robinson married in front of two million Australians and nearly 20 million British viewers.
The final episode, number 8,903, broadcast August 1, is a mystery.
