Neighbours to bring back character after 38-year absence

Neighbours brings back Amanda Harris next month – nearly 38 years after her last appearance in the show.
Briony Behets is reprising her role as Jane Harris’s mother, who’ll be reconnecting with her family once she arrives back in town.
We can confirm that Amanda reappears on screen from Wednesday, April 23.
New spoiler pictures show that Amanda takes up residence at Eirini Rising, moving into one of the spare rooms in the retirement community.
The photos show Amanda interacting with her daughter Jane and grandchildren Byron and Nicolette in her room at Eirini Rising.
There’s also a first look at Amanda introducing herself to the likes of Darcy Tyler and Sadie Rodwell.
