Margot Robbie will appear in Neighbours’ final episode, it has been confirmed.
The Harley Quinn actress, who has gone on to achieve major Hollywood success since her stint in Ramsay Street, will reprise her role of Donna Freedman one last time during Neighbours’ big finale.
Neighbours, as viewers know, is set to end after 37 years, after Channel 5 controversially decided to drop it from their schedules in favour of ‘original UK drama’, which the broadcaster claims has a ‘strong appeal’ for audiences.
The final month of episodes have been described as an on-air celebration of the show’s legacy and are thought to be must-see TV.
Margot, 32, found fame as Donna, a role she played between 2008 and 2011, and she will join a host of other huge names, including Kylie Minogue and Guy Pearce, in staging a comeback for the final ever episode.
Neighbours confirmed Margot’s return on social media on Saturday (July 23), revealing that the Barbie star will feature in the last outing of the soap alongside a few other favourties.
‘Surprise!,’ the Channel 5 soap’s official Twitter account wrote on social media.
‘You didn’t think we were done did you?! We’re thrilled to share that Margot Robbie, Jesse Spencer, Delta Goodrem, Kym Valentine and Carla Bonner will all make an appearance in our finale!’ #CelebratingNeighbours.
Donna featured in a number of huge Neighbours storylines, following her debut in 2008. The character arrived in Ramsay Street as an obsessive fan of mainstay Ty Harper (Dean Geyer), but was soon developed beyond that.
She swiftly became a fan-favourite character, embarking on a relationship with Ringo Brown (Sam Clark), and befriending the teens of the show, including Rachel Kinski (Caitlin Stasey) and Bridget Parker (Eloise Mignon).
Donna also featured in storylines that saw her share a kiss with Sunny Lee (Hany Lee), and she later had an affair with Andrew Robinson (Jordan Patrick Smith), who recently made an on-screen return.
Since departing the show in 2011, Margot has gone on to achieve major success in Hollywood, having appeared in films including 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 set for release next year.
Neighbours: The Finale airs on Friday July 29 at 9pm on Channel 5.
