Natasha's aunt joins 'Neighbours' - first picture, full details

Last week, it was reported that Freya Stafford had joined the cast of Neighbours as Natasha Williams's long-lost aunt, and show bosses have now released the first picture of the character and official details of what's in store.

Confirming the casting, Neighbours chiefs have promised that Natasha's (Valentina Novakovic) reunion with her aunt will "expose a myriad of secrets and lies" that will set tongues wagging on the street later this year.

Stafford has signed a six-month guest contract with the soap and her character's first episode will air on Australian screens in September.

When details of her casting first emerged last week, Stafford told The Daily Telegraph of her character: "She does stir things up on Ramsay Street - she brings up a lot of baggage for Michael, Sandy Winton's character, so that will be interesting."

If you haven't done so already, it's also well worth reading Digital Spy's exclusive two-part interview with Neighbours' executive producer Susan Bower, in which she teases a "fantastic story" focusing on Natasha wanting to find out more about her dead mother.

It certainly looks like there's some intriguing times ahead for Tash and Michael…
