Kimberley Davies returned to Neighbours in July and has wowed fans, reprising her role as the devious Annalise Hartman.
The 52-year-old blonde beauty still looks as glamorous as ever, playing the character that launched her career as an actress and in-demand pinup girl.
As seen in recent episodes, Kimberley appears to have hardly changed in appearance since making her debut at age 19 in the beloved soap in 1993.
Her return is the first time the mother-of-three has been seen on the show since the 20th anniversary edition in 2005.
Kimberley, now an expert interior decorator, surprised fans last month when she dropped a video on X marking her first day of filming.
Looking fresh in a fashionable businesswoman’s outfit for her role, the former soapie star made the surprising confession that coming back to Ramsay Street had made her feel ‘old’.

‘You might remember me as Annalise Hartman,’ Kimberley said in the short clip, which also featured her filming scenes with Neighbours veteran Alan Fletcher, who plays Karl Kennedy.
Telling fans it was her first time back on the Ramsay Street set in 20 years, she continued, ‘So being back…has definitely brought up a lot of memories, makes me feel really old, I must say.
‘But so great to see some familiar faces and everyone’s just so lovely and in a way even though I feel old it’s kind of like I never left.’
She also teased that fans can look forward to plenty of drama in her character’s upcoming storylines.
‘Last time I was here, Annalise was doing docos and she was making a documentary about the history of Ramsay Street, but she’s back this time with a different job shall we say… and [she has] a couple of new conflicts due to the new job.
‘And she has a lot going on in her life… so she’s got some stories to tell.’
Fans appeared enthusiastic about Kimberley’s return.
‘It’s a great coup getting Kimberley back on Neighbours,’ gushed one viewer, while another added,’ I absolutely loved Annalise’s return episode. So many callbacks! So much history!’

Kimberley rose to become a household name in Australia and the UK after first appearing on the soap in 1993.
The famed ‘bombshell’ became a staple in men’s magazines, gracing the cover of FHM, Maxim, Loaded and many more.
At the height of her fame, Kimberley even covered Australian Vogue and released her own workout video in the UK.
Many fans will also remember her iconic ’90s Tim Tam commercial.
Kimberley left Neighbours in 1996 and went to Hollywood, where she was cast in Aaron Spelling’s short-lived night-time soap Pacific Palisades.
The show was cancelled after one season, but the Aussie star landed small roles on hit shows like Ally McBeal, Friends and Spin City.
She later appeared on a number of reality shows, including Celebrity Circus, Dancing with the Stars, and the UK version of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
These days, Kimberley lives a much quieter life outside of the spotlight.

She’s been married to orthopaedic surgeon Jason Harvey for more than 20 years and the couple share three children.
Kimberley hasn’t acted on TV since the 20th anniversary special of Neighbours in 2005.
That same year, she also had a part in the straight-to-DVD flick Death to the Supermodels, alongside Jaime Pressly and Brooke Burns.
Although she keeps a low profile these days, fans can occasionally catch the stunner at red carpet events around Melbourne.
Neighbours, meanwhile, wrapped up filming its final episodes in July after it was abruptly axed in February.
Amazon did not renew their contract with production company Fremantle Australia.
The final ever episodes will air at the end of 2025 with fans forced to say goodbye to Ramsay Street for a second time, after first being cancelled in February 2022.
