Kym Marsh will link up with Neighbours legend Jackie Woodburne for an exciting new Channel 5 drama.

The soap great, Susan Kennedy on the long-running Australian show, will join former Coronation Street star Kym in Imposter, which will be produced by Fremantle Australia for Channel 5. The pair will be on screen together and a preview for the new programme teased what’s ahead.

As a result of her three adult children’s pressure, matriarch Helen refuses to sell a lavish seaside hotel, sparking a contentious family dispute. However, Helen is keeping a secret: a daughter she abandoned for adoption years ago. Helen greets Amanda with open arms when she suddenly appears, but is she really Amanda?

A twisted scheme quickly turns into betrayal and ultimately murder, according to the saying “The highly lucrative hotel is the ultimate prize.” This summer, the series is scheduled to start filming in Victoria, Australia.

It is a second big career boost for Kym, who was earlier this month announced in the cast of brand-new stage play, Single White Female – based on the iconic 90s psychological thriller. The world premiere stage production, written by author, journalist and broadcaster, Rebecca Reid, will embark on a major UK and Ireland theatre tour from January 2026.

Get ready to be thrilled, shocked and entertained and watch out for those stiletto heels.”

The news of Neighbours’ cancellation came just two years after it had been originally canceled on Channel 5; however, everyone believed the show was going to end because they all believed it was “This is it,” Jackie told TV Tonight after the news. We had the opportunity to honor the performance and end it off positively.

“But I don’t believe you can do that twice,” she said. It wouldn’t have the same impact. I have no doubt that the producers will bid farewell to the audience with sincere, beautiful, and genuine care. Once more, everyone is concentrating solely on ensuring that we give it our all, but this time it feels different.

There was such a buzz last time that “Of course, they’ll keep us.” Someone needs to come to our rescue! ‘… You only have one “first time,” don’t you think, because we’ve already been through it before? Therefore, there were not the same levels of heartache, fear, and anxiety.
