Today long-time Neighbours fans will be excited for another returnee hitting the street
Fresh off visiting parents-to-be Andrew and Tash in New York, Paul (Stefan Dennis) brings with him former Ramsay Street resident Annalise Hartman (Kimberly Davies). Annalise is ready to help Lassiter’s win The Bronze Bell, after Krista (Majella Davis) and Terese’s (Rebekah Elmaloglou) ideas left Paul unimpressed. Krista is dismayed at this new arrival, but offers to help with the pitch of a jewellery expo.
It’s been 20 years since Annalise was last seen on Ramsay Street, having returned in 2005 to shoot a documentary about the cul-de-sac with her husband Sam Kratz, all part of Neighbours’s 20th anniversary celebrations.
But more long-term fans who have been around since the 1990s will never forget her non-wedding to Mark Gottlieb, who ditched the nuptials to become a priest. And who could forget when Annalise cheated on eventual husband Sam with Stonefish Rebecchi. She certainly helped defined the decade during her original stint in Erinsborough.
In true Neighbours fashion, Annalise has a few secrets up her sleeve that will come out in due course. But as the end draws near once again, it’s nice to have another returnee pop back for a visit.
Neighbours airs Monday-Thursday at 4:00pm on 10, with episodes repeated at 6:30pm on 10Comedy.
