Neighbours star Jordy Lucas confirms Summer Hoyland return

"Cat's out of the bag."

Jordy Lucas is returning to Neighbours as Summer Hoyland.

Jordy previously played the character between 2010 and 2013. But now it seems Summer is going back to Ramsay Street for the soap's new era on Amazon Freevee, as she has posted a picture with Neighbours veteran Jackie Woodburne, who portrays Susan Kennedy.

"Cat's out of the bag, Summer Hoyland is coming back to @neighbours soon for a little visit," Jordy wrote on Twitter/X.

"So special to head back to the place that changed my life forever," she added.

 understands that Summer is returning to Erinsborough upon learning about a 'Save Our School' campaign against Erinsborough High's closure.

Speaking with us before getting the call from producers, Jordy opened up on her desire to return to the Neighbours revival, saying she "would jump" at the chance.

"I definitely would. I don't live too far from the studio. I have nothing but fond memories of my time on the show, and if they were to ask me back, I would jump at the chance. I had the best time there and it would be amazing," she said.

Jordy, who now runs her own lifestyle website and podcast, also considered some career options for Summer.

"I'm not sure what Summer would be doing now," Jordy said. "I'm sure she'd be doing something in the journalism space – perhaps she'd be a podcaster too!"
