Neighbours star Hannah Monson reveals Nicolette's future after recast
"Secret after secret is revealed."
Neighbours star Hannah Monson has revealed Nicolette's future following the fan-favourite character's return.
Show bosses shared the news of Nicolette's return, alongside Aaron Brennan and David Tanaka, ahead of the soap's Flashback Week.
In a new video posted to Neighbours' Instagram account, Monson shared her excitement at joining the cast and teased her character's future storylines. "I'm settling in well, everyone's so nice. I found out that I was playing Nicolette on my birthday, which was very nice," she began.

"Taking on the role of Nicolette, I felt really great. I think that she's a really interesting, juicy character which is want you want as an actor."
Nicolette was previously played by Charlotte Chimes, who decided not to return for the new season after starring on the show between 2020 and 2022. Bosses decided to recast rather than lose the character — in a similar fashion to Nicolette's brother Byron.
"It's really nice taking on the baton I guess, from someone else and someone so talented and that played the role so beautifully as Charlotte," said Monson.
"I'm queer and I'm playing a queer character, and that's not the Neighbours that I remember back then. There's been queer characters on it for a while now but it feels really nice to be in that capacity," she continued, explaining her kinship with the character.
Teasing the exciting future that awaits Nicolette on her return to Ramsay Street, Monson concluded: "Coming up for Nicolette, I'm going to say some anarchist behaviour. Honestly, secret after secret is revealed. It's pretty juicy."
The special week of episodes treated fans to a series of flashbacks, helping to shed light on the various mysteries of the new season — including why Nicolette, David and Aaron really left Erinsborough. The trio featured in present-day scenes, as well as the all-important flashbacks.
