Neighbors star Stefan Dennis is teasing Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan may return for a soap reboot

There was a worldwide outcry when it was announced last year that the show would be ending after 37 years on the air.

Then, four months after the final episode aired, it was revealed that the show was backed up by online streaming service Amazon Freevee, with production set to begin in the coming months.

One good thing that came from believing it really was curtains for the Erinsborough set show was that a number of stars from the past returned, including Neighbors legends Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue as Scott and Charlene .

Dennis – who has played villain Paul Robinson on and off since the show’s first installment in 1985 – appeared on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday morning to promote Neighbours: The Celebration Tour with the rescued soap.

Referring to Minogue and Donovan’s return to last year’s finale, he said: “Kylie and Jason’s wedding is probably still Neighbors’ most iconic moment.

“The saying goes that there were as many people watching the wedding here as Australia had inhabitants.”

Pressed by GMB presenter Ed Balls on whether they could return again, he replied: “Never say never, I say. Look what happened to the show.”

In addition to Dennis, Jackie Woodburne, Alan Fletcher and Ryan Moloney, who respectively play Susan Kennedy, Karl Kennedy and Toadie Rebecchi, have also been confirmed to return.

Also new in their roles are Rebekah Elmaloglou as Terese Willis, Georgie Stone as Mackenzie Hargreaves and Tim Kano as Leo Tanaka.

Meanwhile, soap legends Ian Smith and Melissa Bell will guest-star as Harold Bishop and Lucy Robinson, respectively, along with April Rose Pengilly as Chloe Brennan.
