The latest casting decision for the Neighbours revival has taken fans by surprise, as Hollywood star Mischa Barton has been confirmed to be joining the cast in a guest role.
The former The OC and The Hills actress will be heading Down Under to play the character of American Reece, whose arrival in Erinsborough is set to be far from what it appears to be.
The announcement comes as the show officially resumed production, adding another high-profile international star to the long list of talents who started their careers on Ramsay Street.
Margot Robbie, Kylie Minogue, Guy Pearce, and Russell Crowe are just a few of the household names who have previously appeared in the iconic Australian soap.
Speaking about the role, Barton expressed her excitement at a potential return.

She said” “I’m excited to be part of this iconic show’s next chapter, and I am really looking forward to being back in Australia, a place I know and love! I think the character of Reece is going to be a great role for me to explore and play with.”
Meanwhile, producer Jason Herbison couldn’t contain his enthusiasm about the new addition to the show.
He gushed: “With Neighbours launching on Amazon Freevee in North America, we are beyond excited to have an actor of Mischa’s calibre join us for the beginning of this exciting new chapter.
“Mischa’s character is dynamic and unpredictable and will have an instant presence on Ramsay Street. Our loyal viewers are going to love her, locally and abroad.”
