It has been announced that several past characters are to return to Neighbours in 2013...
Steph Scully, who was sent to prison for killing Ringo in an accident in 2010...
Sarah Beaumont who had an affair with Karl way back in 1997!
Detective Mark Brennan, who was believed to be dead!
And Lou is finally getting some family back, his daughter Lauren (though played by a different actress) is to move to Erinsborough with her husband & 3 children!
The first 3 returnees are apparently only returning in guest roles, but I hope that Steph at least will be made a regular again
