Don’t we all! <\/p>

Since Neighbours<\/a> was confirmed to be returning to Amazon Freevee<\/a>, fans have been eager to find out what will happen in the rebooted series.<\/p>\n

And so it seems, are the cast who haven \u2018t yet seem scripts, but have their own thoughts on what they want to see in the future.<\/p>\n

One of those, is Jackie Woodburne, who plays iconic Susan Kennedy (and was recently crowned RadioTimes.com\u2019s Soap Champion<\/a>!).<\/p>\n

RadioTimes.com<\/a> exclusively caught up with Woodburne, who opened up on who she would want to see return if she could have anyone back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to say, Janet Andrewartha, who plays Lyn Scully, is a dear friend of mine and I would love to see her come back just because I like hanging out with Janet, so that would be good fun. And she was a great character.\u201d<\/p>

Recurring character, Lynette \u201cLyn\u201d Scully popped back to Erinsborough multiple times for various periods of time between 1999-2019. Married to Joe Scully (Shane Connor), matriarchal Lyn was the backbone of her family.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the initial decision to axe Neighbours, Woodburne commented: \u201cIt never was my choice to leave it, and it was something that I loved. I had invested a lot in it and still felt that I had quite a lot in the tank to go \u2013 I didn\u2019t feel finished with Susan. We\u2019d all begun the grieving process and we were working out way through it.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut when Jason [Herbison, showrunner] said the show was coming back and I was invited to participate\u2026 there wasn\u2019t a second\u2019s hesitation.\u201d<\/p>\n
