Yahoo News Neighbours announces Christie Whelan Browne is returning as Scarlett Brady
Neighbours has announced that Christie Whelan Browne is returning as Scarlett Brady.
Christie played stalker Scarlett in September and October 2019, with the character last seen taken into custody after she stabbed and tried to kill Ned Willis (Ben Hall).
No story details about her return have been confirmed yet, but Christie said that she was "excited" to be back.
"Scarlett is complex, and I knew the storyline that was planned was going to be very fun," she said. "It is fun to play her and try and empathise with her actions."
The star added that she was five weeks pregnant when she returned to the set.
"It was so comforting to be able to continue to work during the pandemic. And the attention to safety and everyone's wellbeing was so strong, I never felt concerned," she said.
"I arrived to start my stint on the show and I was five weeks pregnant. It was still a secret at that point, so Nurse Sally looked out for me every day.

"It was pretty amazing to think my baby was making a debut on one of Australia's most iconic shows while only a tiny embryo. That's something he can brag about to the other babies in the nursery at the hospital when he is born."
Christie also praised co-star Ben Hall, calling him "a complete pro".
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 (UK) and 6.30pm on 10 Peach (Australia).
