Neighbours: Mrs. Mangel returns to screens
The latest character to have the spotlight shine on her is Mrs. Mangel.
Nell Mangel appeared on the soap from her introduction in 1986 until her exit in 1988. She was a continual annoyance to her neighbours, thanks to her busybody nature and general nastiness to other residents.
She is one of the show’s most iconic faces, remembered for her constant meddling and cruel remarks.
Although the character mellowed over time, Mrs. Mangel retained her sharp edge and tongue. She left the show in 1988, travelling to England, never to return.
Vivean Grey left the show having grown weary of abuse from the public – who failed to differentiate the actress from her controversial character.
Fans react to return of a legend
As the latest flashback sequences aired, fans took to social media to express their delight.
Oh seeing flashbacks of Mrs Mangel
