Margot Robbie will appear in Neighbors‘ final episode, has been confirmed.
The Harley Quinn actress, who has achieved great success since her stay in Hollywood Ramsay Streetwill reprise her role as Donna Freedman one last time during the Neighbours grand finale.
Neighbors, as viewers know, will end after 37 years, after Channel 5 controversially decided to scrap it from their programs in favor of ‘original British drama’, which the broadcaster claims has a ‘strong appeal’ to audiences.
The final month of episodes has been described as an on-air celebration of the show’s legacy and considered a must-see TV.
Margot, 32, rose to fame as Donna, a role she played between 2008 and 2011, and she will be making a comeback for the very last episode ever alongside a host of other big names including Kylie Minogue and Guy Pearce.
Neighbors confirmed Margot’s return on social media on Saturday (July 23), revealing that the Barbie star will be appearing in the soap’s latest outing, along with a few other favorites.
‘Surprise!’ wrote the Channel 5 soap’s official Twitter account on social media.
“You didn’t think we were done, did you?! We’re excited to share that Margot Robbie, Jesse Spencer, Delta Goodrem, Kym Valentine and Carla Bonner will all be making an appearance in our finale!’ #Celebrating neighbors.
Donna starred in some massive Neighbors storylines, following her 2008 debut. The character arrived on Ramsay Street as an obsessive fan of mainstay Ty Harper (Dean Geyer), but was quickly developed further.
She quickly became a fan favorite, dating Ringo Brown (Sam Clark) and befriending the show’s teens, including Rachel Kinski (Caitlin Stasey) and Bridget Parker (Eloise Mignon).
Donna also starred in storylines where she shared a kiss with Sunny Lee (Hany Lee), and she later had an affair with Andrew Robinson (Jordan Patrick Smith), who recently returned to the screen.
Since leaving the show in 2011, Margot has continued to achieve major success in Hollywood, starring in films such as The Suicide Squad, The Wolf of Wall Street and I, Tonya.
The Academy Award-nominated star will also play the titular role in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, which is due out next year.
Neighbours: The Finale airs Friday, July 29 at 9 p.m. on channel 5.
