Former Home and Away star Courtney Miller said on Wednesday she would consider returning to the soap opera.

She told Yahoo Lifestyle she would love to make a brief return to Summer Bay so she could put her newly-honed acting skills to good use.

Courtney added that after four years starring on the series her onscreen co-stars became her real life friends.
