It's all to do with Neighbours about to hit it's 20th anniversary. Paul's back, Lucy returns soon, a host of cameos will happen and (and this is totally true) even though Jim Robinson died years ago, Alan Dale is filming something - most likely from 'beyond the grave' as he's a big name in the States now.
In 86 she was 8. She then went away when she was about 12. Didn't want to come back so got her chubby mate to come back and pretend to be her. Jim was so addled he didn't know and Helen was senile.
But this girl got bored and, a year or so later buggered off and got her mate who was BLONDE to come back in her place! And not only did Jim not realise, but then in 94 they had an '18th birthday' for her - WHEN SHE WAS 16!!!
If they're bringing that family back I'm putting the mullet wig on my head, going over there and saying that I'm Scott...
I agree with you about the chubby mate - although at least it got rid of the adenoid problem the first one had. But thanks to the fact that we had daily episodes with no hiatus and the Australians didn't, she really was meant to be 18 in 1994. (She was supposedly born in 1976, and had her ninth birthday in 1985, which we didn't see until nearly 2 years later. By 1994 we were something like 8 months behind, and now we're totally caught up so have to have hiatuses too.)
The one that's coming back is the blonde one - Melissa Bell (who is actually 32), the 1991-2 (and subsequent) LR. Sasha Close was the second one (1987-90) and Kylie Flinker the first (1985-7). She'll be 31 this year (which is consistent with playing someone supposed to be 2 years younger). Eek!
Heh. Nah, a mate of mine is rather obsessed and has gone into this in great detail before. And the IMDB has tons of info for all three actresses including a 2005 filming credit for Melissa Bell. :-)

Lucy was always coming and going and experiencing various facelifts. I would very much like them to bring Clive back.

I always had an issue with Lucy.
