Vanessa moved to Erinsborough in 2012 and featured on the soap for a year, returning briefly a few times after that. Her most memorable storylines include her relationship with Rhys Lawson and her tumultuous relationship with Lucas Fitzgerald, whom her character eventually married and moved away from Ramsay Street with.
Rumours of Alin’s return to the soap started surfacing late last year when some clever fans noticed that her online CV had been updated to include filming for Neighbours in 2018.
The actress confirmed on Twitter that it’s true; she will return alongside her on-screen husband, most likely to tie in with Sonya’s death and funeral. She tweeted, “No way would I have not been there for it;” confirming fans speculation to once more be right.
Vanessa Vilante isn’t the only character returning to Ramsay Street as part of Sonya’s final weeks. Her son Callum – played by Morgan Baker – is also returning for a short amount of time. He will be back next week to support his mother, after his Aunt Dipi believed that he should know about his mother’s diagnosis.

Alongside Callum, Vanessa and Lucas, Jade Mitchell, Sonya’s younger sister will be returning, who, like Callum, moved away to the states. Gemma Pranita was spotted filming on set late last year, so fans believe that she was filming the death and funeral storyline. Gemma is being very tight lipped about it on social media – but silence speaks louder than words!
It will be nice to see many loved faces returning – it’s just a shame it will be beside such a tragic event.
