When's the new Libby going to be in Neighbours?

Question

I don't really watch Neighbours but I'm really interested in how a different actress is going to take over a central role in a programme. Does Libby go away for a bit and then return different or does she just appear as a different actress half way through an episode? Scenes wouldn't be shot in order so she might be one Libby one minute and another Libby the next!

Just wondering when these scenes will start airing in the UK and wondering if anyone else will join the Neighbours audience just for this crazy event?

I just think it's going to be the most bizarre thing ever!

So she won't be on UK screens for a few months.

I heard there was going to be a new Libby (and I don't know when this will happen in the UK) - why?  What's happened to the actress who played Libby - I thought she was great although I preferred her in the old days when she was married to - what's 'is name.  I was really sad when they killed him off.

Edit - just read above what happened.  Poor girl, I hope she recovers quickly but she's wise to take a rest and get herself fully fit first.

I don't no how they are going to do it but it is only temporary. 
The actress who plays libby (kym valentine) became ill (she suffered a collapsed lung and contracted pneumonia) and pulled out of the show for a month with her replacement being Michala Banas. 
Kym will be returning to the role.

monday 11th august is when the new actress is going to play her in australia
uk is about 59 episodes (about 3 months) behind australia
the videos of the episodes will already be on youtube, you just need to find out which episodes they change in
i already watch neighbours but i dont think many people would watch the episodes when they change
how did you find out about it if you dont watch it?

Ooooo! I didn't know this was going to happen. I knew Rachel Kinski is leaving but that won't be for a while in the UK i doubt. How far behind are we now in neighbours land?
