April Rose Pengilly and Jodi Gordon are returning for the 'Neighbours' revival.

The two stars - who play Chloe Brennan and Elly Conway respectively - are preparing to head back to the Ramsay Street set for the Amazon Freevee reboot of the beloved Australian soap.

Taking to Twitter on Wednesday (24.05.23), she tweeted: "We are excited to announce that CHELLY ARE BACK! @jodigordon and I will both be appearing in the new @neighbours, and will be back on set very soon.

"Thank you all so much for your support. We can't wait to share Chloe and Elly's next chapter with you!"

The couple reunited during the final episodes of the show's original run, but there were suggestions the couple could be moving away from Erinsborough and setting up camp in Sydney.

The two actresses were both delighted to bring some closure to to their characters' love story, and like many of their cast mates they were caught off guard when Amazon secured the show's future after a heartbreaking goodbye.

April - who played Elly between 2016 and 2020 before returning for the emotional finale - previously said: "We were all just really shocked and confused!

"I'm so happy for all of you to have your show back and know you're so excited, but it's strange for us as we knew nothing about it.

"Apart from the Heritage 4, none of us have been asked to be involved yet. It's like, all us cast and crew lost our jobs. Now the jobs are back! But maybe we don't get the jobs."

However, she later teased her comeback as she confirmed talks were underway about a return.

She told Studio 10's Angela Bishop, Tristan MacManus and Narelda Jacobs: "There are conversations happening, I say that with a big smile on my face!"
