Guy Pearce and Annie Jones stole the show on the Neighbours finale last year when they reprised their respective characters Mike and Jane for the iconic drama’s swansong. 

And now it appears the beloved actors are set to continue their love story in the highly anticipated reboot.

A new promotional image shows Guy, 55, in character on the Melbourne set alongside co-star Annie, 56.

In the frame, he is seen staring into the distance as Annie clutches his jacket and looks at his rugged face adoringly.

The Memento star cuts a dashing figure in a grey T-shirt and unbuttoned checked shirt, paired with a classic denim jacket. He completed his look with a blue scarf.

‘We are delighted that Guy is returning to continue Mike and Jane’s reunion, it was a highlight of last year’s finale and (there is) definitely more story to tell for these much-loved characters,’ Herbison said in a statement to The Sun Herald.

Pearce returned to Neighbours for the show’s finale in July last year. 

His character, along with Jane Harris (portrayed by Annie Jones), was seen purchasing a home on Ramsay Street during the show’s last episode.
