It's sad to be leaving… but I'm looking forward to the future and new and exciting acting adventures."[3] In October 2013 it was announced that Hall would be reprising the role of Rebecca on Neighbours for a four-week guest stint. Filming took place in November 2013 and aired in Australia in February 2014, and March 2014 in the UK. .[4] In August 2019 it was announced that Hall would once again reprise her role of Rebecca for a guest stint later in the year.
