Kym Valentine has officially left Neighbours. At a recent australian episode aired today, the titles shots was updated and Sonya was alone (she usually with Libby) but this time Libby is not in the credits, Also at the end of the credits, Libby's name is no longer there, It is safe to say she has left Neighbours

She's had a run of very bad luck.

Shame. As annoying as her character was, I loved Kym as an acress. Hope she gets well soon.

It doesn't mean she's not coming back though. I'm sure she will eventually return.

No 'officially' about it

Its confusing to new viewers that this woman in the credits never appears, she'll be restored to the credits when she returns. And if she doesn't return, Neighbours will officially announce it.

That's not official. It just means that Kym's contract has run out, and the show is no longer contractually obligated to credit her. It was common knowledge that her contract was up at this time, so this is no surprise. When Kym is ready to return, she'll be back in the credits, and if she doesn't, then that will be her choice and there will be an official announcement from her management/the show's publicist.

If Kym Valentine wasn't returning, I am sure that we'd get an official confirmation. I think that as long as Jackie Woodburne and Alan Fletcher are in the show, there will always be a place for the Kennedy kids. Not to mention that Libby has other ties to the street - Toadie, the school and Ben (I can see the producers bringing him back when he's a little bit older.)

Very sad if true. I love Libby played by Kym.

I am not sure you can say she has left until it is official.

The bottom line is Kym's health. She needs to get better...and if that means time out from Neighbours, so be it.

Get well soon Kym from all the Neighbours fans in the UK.

I love Mal to. His current stint is so much better than his original.

I hope Libby will return in the future. It is safe to say she is no longer contracted in Neighbours anymore. She may return when she gets better but that is up to the producers whether she is 'worthy' in Neighbours. Maybe Libby returns in a few years later with an older Ben.

Libby hasn't been in the closing credits for a while. It was a little odd that they updated the opening credits now to remove Libby. They didn't add Rhys in.

I think the thread title should say Kym is no longer in the titles..rather than officially axed or left..if she is still unwell she may return when she is better

How do you know? Some insider info?

I am sure she will only return when she is completely better. The producers wont put her under any pressure at all.

I haven't watched Neighbours for years, but I once saw Kym in a panto in Hayes , west London , must have been over 10 years ago. Best of luck Kym. I also saw her "Dad" Karl singing in a pub in Nottingham a few years back
