After three years away, Ramsay Street’s favourite daughter is back. Libby Kennedy, after ten years, a wedding, a baby, numerous relationships and many life-threatening accidents, moved to Shepparton, with son Ben, in 2004. Now, with mum Susan facing a legal and medical crisis, Libby has returned to offer her support.

Having spent the past three years touring Australia in the debut musical production of the movie Dirty Dancing, as well as raising daughter Millana, now four years old, Kym Valentine is also returning to what she’s described as “home” – the Neighbours set. Here, we’ve gathered together features from all over Perfect Blend to take a look back at Libby’s eventful life.
