Valentine hopeful of Kennedy family reunion

Neighbours actress Kym Valentine has revealed that she is hopeful one day the Kennedy family will be reunited on screen.

The 31-year-old, who joined the soap in 1994 as teenager Libby Kennedy, told DS that she'd recently spoken with former co-star Jesse Spencer about a possible reunion.

"Jesse has said to me face-to-face that if he has the time off he would do it because we're family - we'll always be family!" she said. "He was here for Christmas and I spoke to him about it and I asked him if he'd come back and he said, 'Of course I would - we're the Kennedys!'

"I'll have to talk to him - I'm his big sister so I could make him do it!"

Valentine, who returned to the soap in 2004 after a three-year break, added that she hates it when former co-stars think they're "too good" to return.

"We made a pact early on that we would never turn into those people who leave the show and then think they're too good for it. That's bulls**t and people who do that are idiots. I hate it when I see that. Be grateful, you learn so much from it and it's such a great opportunity and we've always been like that."
