Neighbours Spoilers: Home And Away Star Joins Cast

By Melinda MarshOn May 9, 2018

Many of the Neighbours cast spent their time in Summer Bay before moving to Erinsborough – and newcomer Debra Lawrence is no exception!

Though is hasn’t been officially announced yet, Neighbours fans have got their Mark Brennan detective hats on and believe that Debra will be joining the soap shortly.

Fans have noticed that Debra’s online CV details that she will be playing the role of Liz Conway on Neighbours – a character who has appeared on the show numerous times in 2001 and 2002, played by Christine Keogh.

Liz Conway is the sister of long-time Ramsay Street resident Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne), making her the mother of Elly (Jodi Anasta) and newcomer Bea (Bonnie Anderson).

The upcoming arrival of Bea was officially announced by producers this week, and it is expected that the same will come of Debra’s arrival following the finding from fans. Producers have teased that there will be much tension between the sisters, especially when Bea reveals that she is dating Elly’s ex and Neighbours baddie Finn Kelly. Will their mother come to Erinsborough to help them make amends?

It won’t be the first time that Liz has been the second actress to play a character, as she’s best known for being the second person to play Pippa Ross in Home and Away between 1990 and 1998, and again in 2000 until 2009. Soon becoming Australia’s most recognisable mum, Debra will be a great high-profile addition to Neighbours.

Back in 2016, Debra revealed that she would return to Home and Away, declaring, “If they needed Pippa that desperately to try and attempt to replace her again then I would probably go back. If they were that desperate and paid me enough money, of course I’d do it.”

But for now it seems that the character would rather head down to Melbourne and visit her family in Neighbours’ Ramsay Street!
