Lyn Robinson returns to Ramsay Street

Former Neighbours star Janet Andrewartha is returning to the soap as Lyn Robinson for a three-month guest appearance, reports the show's official website.

Lyn's return to Ramsay Street will be the second time the actress has returned to the series since her departure in 2006. Last year, Andrewartha reprised her much-loved role for a brief guest stint.

When asked by website The Perfect Blend about rumours that producers were planning to bring back a former female resident, script editor Pete McTighe teased: "Watch this space. You’ll see an old favourite return to the street in the second half of 2009. Who I’ve missed like mad!"

Andrewartha, 56, has already resumed filming with the soap and will appear on Australian screens later this year.
