Performer Ally Fowler is returning to Neighbours next week, but not as the character she originally portrayed.

Fowler, who had 9 months on screen in 1986 as “Zoe Davis” former flame of Paul Robinson, has a guest role as “Nene Williams.”

Ironically, Nene is also a blast from Paul’s past whose short-lived romance resulted in the birth of daughter Amy (Zoe Cramond). Now she returns and sets her sights on one of Ramsay Street’s happily married residents.

TEN Drama Executive, Claire Tonkin, said: “From her first moments on Ramsay Street, this character promises intrigue, secrets and lots of drama. It’s a real treat to welcome Ally Fowler back to Neighbours to bring this complex character to life.”

Executive Producer, Jason Herbison, said: “I’m very excited to bring Ally back to Neighbours. It’s been 30 years since she was a regular on the show. While she is playing a different character this time, I’m sure fans will enjoy her role and the fact that she will again lock horns with Paul Robinson.”

Fowler, who recently revived the Chantoozies as a support act to Bananarama, said: “It’s not difficult to go full circle on Neighbours. The writers are very clever with the way that they can link people together. I love being back with Stefan again, we’re having a lot of fun.”

Fowler recently appeared in Wentworth.

She returns Monday, 29 February at 6.30pm on ELEVEN.

  1. I really liked her in Wentworth. Her previous character was long before my time so i cant feel upset on her casting like some here. I’ll have to google what she looked like back then now…

  2. Come on, people! If she played the same character then the writers would have to grapple with that character’s history and what she’d been doing in the meantime. It would be altogether too much like life!

  3. Yes, this is very upsetting to longtime fans. Zoe was such a memorable character. Who could forget her romance with Jim Robinson and when a young Lucy blew a whistle in Zoe’s ear while on the phone. Zoe was one of two characters brought in at the start of Neighbours move to ten, the other was Madge. I’m sure Ally will do a great job, with her new chahrcter and it will be great to see her back on screen but…

  4. I like it when people from Home and Away or Neighbours come back but portray different characters. David I’m having trouble making sense of the second paragraph.

  5. load ov rubbish i had always hoped ally would return as zoe ,as paul never really resolved his feelings, would have been better for her and paul to get back, nene was just a fling and wouldnt really have returned and hooking gettin her mixed up with karl is stupid, no wonder people dont watch as a long time viewr its worse than it was in 2008-09 its gone backwards.
