She’s back! Veteran Neighbours star Alyce Platt is returning to Ramsay Street as series regular

Alyce Platt is best known for playing Jen Handley on Neighbours from 1995 to 1996. 

And it appears fans will be seeing the actress more frequently, as it was confirmed that the 56-year-old will be moving back into the fictional town of Erinsborough as a series regular.

Last month, she surprised viewers after she returned to the show as a different character, Olivia Bell, and ‘reconnected’ with her former flame, Dr. Karl Kennedy.

Her character Olivia was introduced to the soap in 2012 as a potential love interest for Karl (Alan Fletcher) after they met through a dating website.

The pair had two dates before she declined a third.

Besides acting, Alyce has made a name for herself appearing as co-host of the then top-rated quiz show, Sale of the Century, between 1983 to 1985.
