Neighbours has launched the year with the return of a familiar face, as dangerous bad boy Kane Jones is back to cause more trouble on Ramsay Street.
Kane was last seen luring Ned Willis into a fight club in 2019, but is now posing a threat to Hendrix Greyson after they crossed paths during some illegal blackjack games.
Digital Spy recently caught up with Barry Conrad, who plays Kane, to chat about reprising the role and what s to come. FremantleChannel 5
How did it feel to be invited back for another storyline? It was an absolute thrill. I was totally over the moon, because there was nothing to suggest that Kane would be back after the viewers last saw him. He went to jail and it seemed like that was it.
Coming up on
Neighbours, love is in the air in Ramsay Street, but Dipi is not pleased to hear it.
Meanwhile, Des makes a return to Erinsborough, but why is he back?

1. Kirsha tries to help her parents FremantleChannel 5
As Ramsay Street continues to celebrate Christmas, the Rebecchi family get a visit from their youngest as Kirsha returns. But things have changed since she was last home and now she has to see how fractured things are between her parents.
Determined that she can help them sort things out, Kirsha starts sowing the seeds in Dipi that the marriage has a chance at being saved and it seems that her words have had an impact. But for Dipi, a nasty surprise is on the way…
With the situation looking dire, Hendrix s friend Jay Rebecchi (Dhruv Malge) suggests he should steal the expensive necklace that Pierce bought for Dipi last year.
Benny continued: Hendrix feels a little bit guilty, but he doesn t have any emotional connection to this necklace. He makes a snap decision to take it and give it away to pay the debt. As far as he s concerned, it s all for the cash and it s fine.
The actor also praised the strong friendship that continues to develop between Hendrix and Jay as the high-stakes situation plays out.
Asked whether he d like Jay to become a regular character, Benny replied: I do really enjoy the relationship between Hendrix and Jay. It s quite nice how they look out for each other, so down the track I d enjoy playing that relationship again for sure.
