Kimberley Davies starred in Neighbours for three years in the 90s and went on to become a huge sex symbol from that time.
The star appeared on various magazines including Loaded, FHM and Maxim.
And it looks like the star has barely aged, as she reprised her role as devious Annalise.
She's hardly changed since her debut at the age of 19 in 1993.
In fact, Kimberley looks as glamorous as ever in a short clip shared on her social media.
The actress tells fans: 'You might remember me as Annalise Hartman.
'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.'
The star also teased what Neighbours fans might be able to expect from her character on the show, continuing: '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.
Neighbours star hits back after being labelled a nepo-baby - can you guess her 90s rock legend dad?
'And she has a lot going on in her life... so she's got some stories to tell.'
Fans of the Aussie soap have been left delighted by the comeback, with one person writing: 'I absolutely loved Annalise's return episode. So many callbacks! So much history!'
A second added: 'It's a great coup getting Kimberley back on Neighbours.'
After her stint in the Australian soap, she appeared in various shows such as Pacific Palisades, Friends and Ally McBeal.
Neighbours stars who made it big
The long-running Aussie soap has launched the careers of some of Hollywood's biggest stars. Here are some of the Neighbours alums who went on to make it big after starring on the soap...
Kylie Minogue
Before she hit the big time with her music career, Kylie shot to fame playing Charlene Mitchell on Neighbours. Shortly after her arrival, Kylie began an on and off-screen romance with co-star Jason Donovan, who played Scott Robinson, which gained the couple an army of adoring fans.
Jason Donovan
After his stint as Scott, singer and actor Jason became an international popstar and had his pick acting of roles. He moved to the U.K., married, had children and has since starred in over a dozen West End show, most notably Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat.
Alan Dale
New Zealand born actor Alan was one of Neighbours 12 original cast members having made his debut as Jim Robinson on the soap's first episode on 18 March 1985. As the head of the Robinson clan, widower Jim lived at Number 26 Ramsay Street with his children Paul, Julie, Scott and Lucy, and was a real anchor in the community. He stayed with the show for eight years, before his character was killed off in dramatic scenes aired in 1993 but which still reverberate through the soap to this day.
Margot Robbie
Way before she was Barbie or Harley Quinn, Margot was best known as Ramsay Street resident Donna Freedman. Her notable storylines included her marriage to Ringo Brown and becoming a young widow following his tragic death. After three years she bid farewell to the soap and Australia with a plan to make a name for herself in Hollywood which she did when she bagged the role of Naomi Lapaglia opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street.
Jesse Spencer
Jesse rocked up on Ramsay street in 1994 with the rest of the Kennedy clan. He stayed for five years, literally growing up in front of the camera, but in 2000 felt it was time to spread his wings and head for Hollywood. It was certainly a smart move as he went on to bag leading roles in popular shows like House and Chicago Fire.
Russell Crowe
New Zealand-native Russell had a brief arc on Neighbours, appearing in four episodes of the soap 1987 as Kenny Larkin, the former cellmate of Street resident Henry Ramsay. The role obviously got him noticed though because he quickly went on to become a fully-fledged Hollywood A-lister, winning the Best Actor Oscar for his standout performance as Roman General Maximus Decimus Meridius in Gladiator.
Kimberley has also taken part in reality shows such as Celebrity Circus, I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here and Dancing with the Stars.
She was last on our screens when she took part in Neighbours' 20th anniversary special in 2005.
She didn't appeared in the Neighbours 2022 finale which saw some of the show's biggest characters return to Ramsay Street.
Kimberley was apparently asked by producers, but she declined, according to Private Sydney.
But now she's firmly back on the soap, and fans are delighted.
The star is married to her husband Jason Harvey.
The pair, who tied the knot in 1997, share three kids - Isabella, Josh and Ashton.

Rosie O'Donnell fans react to her slimmed down figure

Rosie O'Donnell is marveling at the slimmed down figure she has achieved with the help of weight loss drug Mounjaro. The former talk show host, 63, has been taking the drug since late 2022, yet remains in disbelief over how far she has come. In her latest Instagram post, Rosie revealed she is now a size 12 - and praised the drug as a 'life saver'. Rosie showed off her dramatic results as she went shopping for a new travel outfit, her slimmed down body on display in a fitted black track suit. 'ok so went shopping to but a comfy lounge wear outfit for my 22 hour flight to Australia- was undecided as i cant see myself in this new smaller body- cam n robin took this photo of me in the dressing room - i am shocked im a 12 - #mounjaro is a life saver,' she gushed in the caption. Fans were equally impressed in the comments, with one merely stating 'WOW' (along with a few emojis) in response to the picture. Kristin Chenoweth also chimed in, writing: 'You look amazing!' Another wrote: 'It is a life changing med! Not only does it help you lose weight but decreases the inflammation in your body so you feel so much better. Rosie - you look great and hope you feel great too!!' One complimented her: ''I've been needing this for years but my insurance won't cover it. You look awesome-although your Beautiful soul shines through in ANY body.' Mounjaro 'is an injectable prescription medicine that is used along with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar (glucose) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus,' per the official website. Back in March of this year, O'Donnell talked about her 'shocking' new size after taking the medication. In a TikTok video uploaded at the time, she explained to her followers: 'I am on Mounjaro for my diabetes and one of the side effects is you lose weight. 'But [the weight loss] is also because I had a chef for over two years in Los Angeles and I don't have a chef now. It's me cooking for [my child] Clay and me.' The TV personality then recalled how she went to a clothing store in Dublin and revealed she was a size large after previously wearing sizes XL or XXL. 'I find it shocking. I really do. I find it completely shocking,' the mom-of-five expressed. Being on Mounjaro has not only aided her in losing weight, but has made her feel 'healthier' and she is also 'sleeping better.' Back in January 2023, Rosie revealed she had been prescribed the medication and credited it with helping her drop 10 pounds during the holiday season. While taking her child to school, the star explained on TikTok: 'I need to let you know I've lost 10lbs since Christmas.' She added that she had been taking Mounjaro after a fan commented, 'You can't drop a bomb like that and not tell us HOW???' Rosie stated, 'Okay, so like two months ago, my doctor put me on... not Ozempic, Mounjaro? Something like that, and Repath.' She added, 'One I do every other week, and one I do once a week. And that and on Christmas, I stopped drinking anything except water.

Viola Davis, 60, shows off her incredible physique in a swimsuit as she celebrates her birthday in Mexico

Viola Davis flew to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to celebrate her August 11 birthday. The EGOT award-winning actress — who remembered Chadwick Boseman earlier this year — turned 60 on Monday, and marked the occasion by slipping into a sleek orange swimsuit. She unveiled a short crop of red-tinged hair, teaming her bold new look with equally eye-catching, large, gold hoop earrings. The How to Get Away with Murder sensation was spotted relaxing on a lounge chair with a friend as she soaked up the sun. And during some moments the star added a patchwork-patterned cover up and oversized black-framed eyeglasses. It came just three days after she received an honorary Doctorates of Fine Arts degree from the AFI Conservatory in Los Angeles. The movie star told People on August 8: 'I'm getting ready to be 60. I don't want to be completely kumbaya this morning, but little Viola is always very close by. 'And I always saw her as damaged, but she wasn't. She had a lot of beautiful qualities in her. I always want to honor her.' Reflecting on her contributions to the world, she shared, 'There's something deep within me that wants to be good at what I do. 'I want to be remembered as someone who is proficient.' Following her birth in South Carolina, Viola was raised in Rhode Island. She attended Rhode Island College, and later Juilliard School from 1989-1993, before making her 1996 Broadway debut in Seven Guitars. Last week the acclaimed performer was presented the Doctorates of Fine Arts degree by Gina Prince-Bythewood, who directed her in 2022's The Woman King. According to an account from People, she said to graduates in her acceptance speech: 'You have the power to come home to that one thing that made you want to do this. 'To be healers, to be alchemists, to buck the system, to see life just a little bit different, and therefore you don't just leave something for people. You leave something in them. ' The Fences star was interviewed by The Times in March, and she opened up about her childhood ambitions to become an entertainer. She sought refuge in her imagination as she grew up in poverty. 'For me and my sister it was playing two wealthy white women who went out for tea in Beverly Hills with our chihuahuas. 'It was an imagination playground. Then, somewhere in there, pain entered into it,' she recalled. She elaborated about the discipline of acting: 'Training, speech, technique, critics — there's a sense of torture that you almost have to make peace with.'
