Yahoo News Neighbours star Kym Valentine suggests return in new role
Former Neighbours star Kym Valentine has said she'd like to return to the soap, albeit in a different capacity.
Valentine is known for playing the role of Libby Kennedy on the Aussie soap and was last seen on Ramsay Street in 2014. After reuniting with the cast for the show's 40th anniversary, the soap star shared she'd be open to going back to Erinsborough for the right storyline.
"I'd love to come back and do a family violence storyline," she told Inside Soap magazine.

"It doesn't have to be with Libby, I'd be happy to consult and be involved in that way. Neighbours would be a great place to present the reality of this."
Meanwhile, Neighbours has announced the return of a classic character, with Dr Darcy Tyler, played by Mark Raffety, making a comeback for the soap's upcoming 40th anniversary celebrations.
"Dr Darcy Tyler returns! Susan's nephew will make a shock return to Erinsborough as part of the show's 40th anniversary celebrations," a message on the soap's official Facebook account read.
"But has dastardly Darcy changed his ways? Or is he set to cause more misery for his old neighbours? We cannot wait to find out..."

Darcy's return calls for a reunion with Tess Bell after she ultimately dumped him at the altar before swiftly leaving for London.
The show recently confirmed that Krista Vendy would reprise her role as Tess this year, which means sparks could fly if the two characters cross paths again.
Neighbours releases new episodes from Mondays to Thursdays for free on Amazon Freevee and Prime Video in the UK and US. In Australia, the show airs from Mondays to Thursdays at 4pm on Channel 10, with a 6.30pm repeat screening on 10 Peach Comedy.
