"Neighbours&amp;#039; Kate Ramsay will doubt herself when she first spots that her &amp;#039;dead&amp;#039; boyfriend Mark Brennan is back in Erinsborough, it has been revealed. Brennan was thought to have died in witness protection in 2011, but a surprise twist will see him back on screen later this year as Scott McGregor reprises the role for a guest stint.   Neighbours&amp;#039; executive producer Richard Jasek has now disclosed the first details of the storyline, hinting that Kate (Ashleigh Brewer) may not be single when Brennan returns. Jasek told TV Week: &amp;quot;I can reveal [Brennan] comes back during an eclipse, where a whole lot of things happen - and Kate won&amp;#039;t be quite sure if she&amp;#039;s really seen him. &amp;quot;But the big questions will be: why has Brennan returned, and at that stage, who is Kate with? You&amp;#039;re going to have to keep watching to find out, but it&amp;#039;s definitely going to be interesting.&amp;quot;   Jasek (pictured above) also confirmed reports of new back-yard sets for Neighbours and other on-screen changes. He said: &amp;quot;Neighbours is currently going through a renaissance. So yes, we&amp;#039;re building new back-lot sets that will be backyards for some of our houses, which we haven&amp;#039;t seen before. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ll be seeing some renewal for our old favourite sets, such as Harold&amp;#039;s and Charlie&amp;#039;s, as well as Paul&amp;#039;s house, plus some new spaces while Lassiter&amp;#039;s hotel goes through a renewal.&amp;quot; Neighbours returns to Australian screens on January 7 and Channel 5 in the UK on January 14.
