Neighbours star Madeleine West is keen to reprise both Dee Bliss and Andrea Somers in Amazon Freevee's upcoming revival.

West made her Ramsay Street debut all the way back in 2000, leaving in 2003 before returning sporadically between 2017 and 2020.

Joining Australian talk show Studio 10 this week, West was asked about whether she would be back on the soap.

"Look, I'm putting it out there, but if the opportunity was there I'd love to," she replied.

"I didn't have the opportunity to take part in the finale [because] I was doing the Predatory podcast, which took quite a toll. I didn't get a chance to come back and wrap up [Dee and Andrea].

"So if the opportunity is there, I'm on Ten, I'd be there in a heartbeat!"

Freya Van Dyke, who played Amy Greenwood's daughter Zara Selwyn, was also posed the question of whether she'll be back alongside confirmed cast members Annie Jones, Rebekah Elmaloglou, Georgie Stone, Tim Kano, Stefan Dennis, Alan Fletcher, Ryan Moloney and Jackie Woodburne this week.

Setting the record straight, she wrote via Instagram Stories: "I know a lot of you have been asking. Is Zara coming back to Neighbours? Are you going back to Neighbours? First of all, thank you so much.

"It's insane to me that you all are so supportive and you want to see Zara back. At this stage, no, Zara is not going back. It's nothing to do with anything beyond what storylines they've decided to go with.

"I am so, so happy for all of the cast who are going back. It's going to be absolutely incredible and there are going to be some incredible storylines."

Neighbours returns in the second half of 2023 with new episodes streaming free on Amazon Freevee in the UK and US. Network 10 will retain first-run rights in Australia for the new series.
