The Terese Willis star also spoke about anniversary plans for Neighbours this year, as the soap will be marking its 35th anniversary.

Speaking about how involved she is with anniversary episodes, Rebekah teased: "During our 35th anniversary week, Terese has a lot going on, particularly with all of our returning guest cast – some really fun stories, as well as unexpected drama!"

The actress also spoke about what 2020 holds in store for Terese in general, revealing that she has "lots on her plate" with Paul, while Harlow will face some "tragic circumstances" as Terese becomes her pillar.

On top of that, Roxy will "provide a lot of frustration", while Ned "puts some of the locals in danger".

As for her new year's resolutions for Terese, Rebekah mused: "Don't sweat about the small things, and don't give up on Paul. They've been through so much to get to this stage – and I can't do another wedding!"

Neighbours airs on Channel 5 (UK) and 10 Peach (Australia).
