Viewers will see Jane for the first time next week.

Her first scene will see her interrupt newbie Chloe Brennan [played by April Rose Pengilly], while she's attempting to seduce Brandon Danker [played by Nick Bracks].

Annie previously played the role of Jane Harris between 1986 and 1989.

Speaking about her return, she said last month, "I was absolutely thrilled to be asked to return to Neighbours.

"As an actor, the best thing you can be is a working actor.

“I’ve done a lot of guest roles but usually very short lived.

"So this has been lovely to come back for an extended period and really get my teeth into a part.”

Jane will reconnect with Paul Robinson, played by Stefan Dennis, who is the only current cast member to have starred in the soap with Annie.

Her most memorable storyline from the 80s was her makeover.

The braniac, who was known for wearing oversized glasses, ditched her geeky look to attract Mike Young, played by Guy Pearce.

Annie was awarded a Logie for Most Popular Actress for her portrayal of Jane Harris.
