Published Wednesday, May 6 2009, 16:06 BST | By Darren Rowe
In March, Russ's future with the series was called into question after it was announced that FremantleMedia, the makers of Neighbours, were planning to bring in an external casting agency.
A Neighbours spokesperson today told DS: "FremantleMedia are currently in discussions with Jan Russ about her involvement in a number of projects for Neighbours, including the Dolly magazine Search for the Next Neighbours Star and the 25th Anniversary."
Russ, who previously worked as casting director for Prisoner: Cell Block H, has been with Neighbours since its inception in 1985.
