Jane Harris makes her return to Erinsborough next week as part of a collection of memorable faces that are returning to Neighbours to celebrate the shows 35th anniversary. But poor Jane – known better to veteran fans as Plain Jane Super Brain – has little to celebrate.
Paul and Terese are shocked to see Jane in Erinsborough again, especially considering the romantic past that she and Paul shared last time she was in town. The couple wonder what Jane is doing back, especially as she has no family here and no longer has any ties with Erinsborough High where she once worked.
