Network 10 has excitedly announced the return of one of the most iconic couples in ‘Neighbours,’ with April Rose Pengilly and Jodi Gordon reprising their roles as Chloe Brennan and Elly Conway.
The duo will make their way back to Melbourne next month to rekindle their journey in the popular Australian soap opera’s renewed chapter. Fans, fondly referring to the couple as ‘Chelly,’ fell in love with their on-screen relationship in 2019, which began dramatically on the eve of Elly’s wedding to Chloe’s brother, Mark.
Pengilly and Gordon expressed their anticipation and surprise about their return in extended guest roles, sharing their excitement for the show’s dedicated fan base. Both actresses have voiced their love for the show and their eagerness to see what’s next for their characters.
Their return comes after the show’s initial conclusion last year, which left both the cast and fans in mourning. News of the show’s revival and their comeback has created an emotional roller coaster for the cast and the actresses, who had already bid farewell to their characters once before.
“I feel like I’ve had two farewells from Neighbours,” shared Gordon, adding that returning for the final episode and the upcoming series has been a mix of excitement and heartbreak.
Both actors hope their characters can continue their happy ending from the finale and look forward to exploring their relationship further in the new series. Although they haven’t read the script yet, both Pengilly and Gordon hope that the ‘Chelly’ fans will be pleased with what’s to come.
