Neighbours: Stephanie McIntosh set to make return

Hot off the news of Hollywood star Chrishell Stause joining Aussie soap Neighbours as a guest star, the show has another exciting announcement: Stephanie McIntosh will be reprising her role as Sky Mangel and returning to Ramsay Street to drop by for a visit and reunite with her on-screen grandfather Harold Bishop (Ian Smith).

Stephanie, who is OG Neighbours star Jason Donovan's half-sister, rose to fame as Sky in the early '00s before going on to have a music career (who could forget her 2006 banger 'Mistake?') and then departing Neighbours in 2007. She returned for a brief appearance in 2015 as a part of the show's 30th anniversary and again in 2020 and 2022.

"Neighbours really is just like your extended family when you're a fan like me who has watched since the start. Thank you for bringing Sky back to the screen once again."

"Sky was always one of my favourite characters and I always wanted to name my daughter after her if I had one. Finally got the chance last year. She’s a Skyler but Sky for short," one super fan said.
