Will Neighbours fans be seeing Libby Kennedy back on their favourite soap again soon? That's the rumour currently doing the rounds in Australia.

According to reports from Down Under and the Neighbours website, www.perfectblend.net/, actress Kym Valentine has been in talks with the soap's producers about reprising her role later this year.

She quit in 2004 after 10 years to star in a stage version of Dirty Dancing, and has recently been concentrating on music, performing in an acoustic duo with Tommy Rando, who also plays in Alan 'Karl Kennedy' Fletcher's band Waiting Room.

Now it seems she's ready to return to the role which made her name, and with the Kennedys about to endure a difficult period, it's the perfect time for Libby to come back.

Her parents, Susan and Karl Kennedy, recently retied the knot in a romantic ceremony in London.

But there's already trouble brewing for the pair, following the revelation that the former doctor is the father of Holly Hoyland, Izzy's newborn baby girl.

Karl's about to hotfoot it back to the UK for an emotional reunion with the youngster, who he delivered on his and Susan's wedding day.

Meanwhile, former priest Tom Scully is heading back to Erinsborough and he's determined to win Susan's heart all over again.
