Stause was announced in May as an upcoming guest star on Amazon’s reinvigorated chapter of the long-running soap opera.

“I am honoured and excited to join such a beloved and iconic show,” Stause said in a statement at the time.

“Coming from the world of soaps in the US, it’s back to my first love in the entertainment industry. They pitched me an idea for a character, and I was immediately excited to figure out a way to make it happen. Ramsay Street here I come!”

She will play a new character, Yasmine ‘Yas’ Shields, who the streamer described as a “glamorous and successful businesswoman in pursuit of an exciting new opportunity.”

Stause regularly spends time in Australia after marrying local musician G Flip last year.

While Stause has made herself known as a real estate agent for The Oppenheim Group, with Selling Sunset debuting in 2019, the Kentucky-born star started her career working on soap operas in the US, featuring regularly on shows including All My Children and Days of Our Lives.

The iconic TV show ended its 37-year run in July 2022 after its production company, Fremantle, failed to find it a new home.

However, just months after its star-studded finale aired, it was given a lifeline by Amazon Freevee and Prime Video, with production picking up again in Melbourne in early 2023.

The show relaunched with a bang in September, welcoming US actress Mischa Barton – of The O.C. fame – to the ensemble cast for 32 episodes.

New episodes of Neighbours premiere on Network 10 Monday to Thursday and are available on Prime Video in Australia seven days later.
