Benji McNair Returns to Neighbours as Mal Kennedy!

Holy Soap is reporting that Benji McNair is set to return as Malcolm Kennedy, a role he originated back in 1994. He starts filming next week for eps that will begin airing in mid-July. Holy Soap is describing the return as a "four-month guest stint." No doubt the character is being brought back, in part, to fill the void left from Kym Valentine's (Libby Kennedy) abrupt sick leave departure.

I'm a newbie to Neighbours, so I know absolutely nothing about the character, but I'm assuming that fans will be happy with his return. What I found most interesting was the reported reason for the character's return: apparently he'll be helping his parents, Karl and Susan, deal with some upcoming marital problems when Susan "becomes emotionally involved with another man" - Susan, you slut!! I'm hoping the other man is Kyle lol!

So what do you guys think? Are you excited he's back? Should I be excited? Who do you think Susan is going to get "emotionally involved with"?
