Neighbours announces final two cast members for 40th-anniversary tour

Neighbours has announced the final two cast members for its huge 40th-anniversary tour, and it's a long-awaited reunion.

Kym Valentine, who played Libby Kennedy, and Dan Paris, who played her husband Drew Kirk, will be taking to the stage together.

It will mark the first time Libby and Drew have been united in 20 years, following the tragic death of Dan's character in a horse riding accident.

Kym last appeared in Ramsey Street on what was the soap's final episode in July 2022. Dan last appeared in 2005 when he showed up in Stephanie Scully's dreams, three years after Drew was killed off.

Kym and Dan join Melanie Pearson actor Lucinda Cowden, who was announced last week following the news of her exit.

Previously announced are Terese Willis actor Rebekah Elmaloglou, Leo Tanaka star Tim Kano, and Majella Davis, who plays Krista Sinclair.
