Oscar-nominated actress Margot Robbie starred as Donna Freedman on Neighbours from 2008 to 2011, before finding success in Hollywood.

It’s understood the 32-year-old, who is currently filming the new Barbie film in the US, wasn’t able to fly to Australia to shoot her final scenes as Donna.

Instead, Margot filmed via Zoom while in LA after the rest of the Neighbours cast wrapped up shooting on June 10.

Margot has starred in several blockbusters including The Suicide Squad, The Wolf Of Wall Street and Once Upon a Time in…Hollywood since leaving Ramsay Street.

As Margot revisits the role of Donna, she joins a number of other confirmed appearances including Guy Pearce, Daniel Macpherson, Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Ian Smith.

Delta Goodrem shared the exciting news of her return on Instagram – and she’s clearly thrilled to bring Nina Tucker back.

“Whether the eighties, nineties, naughties or teens is your favourite decade, we will be delivering something for everyone as Neighbours draws to a close,” Neighbours‘ Executive Producer Jason Herbison said via TV Blackbox.

Natalie Imbruglia and Holly Valance are also returning, filming scenes in London where both stars now live.

It was announced in March that the beloved soap would be coming to an end after almost four decades on our screens, with the news announced via the official Neighbours Twitter account.

“We are so sorry to say that after nearly 37 years and almost 9000 episodes broadcast we have to confirm that Neighbours will cease production in June.”

The statement went on to explain the reasoning behind the axing.

“Following the loss of our key broadcast partner in the UK and despite an extensive search for alternative funding, we simply have no option but to rest the show.”
