Jackie Woodburne’s role as Helen in Imposter will be her first role outside of the chaotic town of Neighbour’s Erinsborough in more than 30 years. 

The 69-year-old first appeared in Neighbours as Susan Kennedy, the wife of Dr Karl Kennedy played by Alan Fetcher, back in 1994. 

Sadly, the beloved Australian soap will air its final episode in 2025. Speaking on its second axing, Jackie revealed there wasn’t “the same level of anxiety.”

“Everyone’s got an idea of how they would like the show to end, but that [the previous] finale was written and everyone gave it 100% because we all thought: ‘This is it,’” she told TV Tonight. “This was our opportunity to honour the show and take it out with a bang.”

“This time, I think because we’ve been through it before, you only have one ‘first time’, don’t you? So there wasn’t the same level of anxiety, fear and heartbreak.”
