Neighbours spoilers follow.

Neighbours has revealed a first look at Harold Bishop moving back to Erinsborough.

The legendary character is returning to the soap later this month – and this time he's back for good.

Viewers know that Harold has popped in and out of Erinsborough since his final scenes as a show regular aired in 2009.

Harold will now become a full-time resident again as he's moving into Eirini Rising, the new retirement complex which Terese Willis has been planning.

New spoiler pictures show Harold settling into his new retirement home, giving fans a first look at Neighbours' latest set addition.

Terese and Jane Harris have been working together on the Eirini Rising project, as the retirement centre has taken over some space at Erinsborough High. The plan is for the school and Eirini Rising to co-exist, as students build relationships with some of the older residents.

Susan Kennedy is also now on board with the project after accepting the post of Operations Manager.

Terese, Jane and Susan can be seen addressing the crowds on the big launch day of Eirini Rising, keen for it to be a success after so much hard work.
