Bell reprised the role for the show's 35th anniversary celebrations. She was pleased with Lucy's return storyline and how the character has grown since she was last on screen, calling it "brilliant". She teased, "For Lucy, it will be a full circle for her which I'm really excited about. It's more a nervous energy, I just want to get back into and I feel I know the character so well now, it's great to see what is in store for her this time around." Lucy returns on 18 February 2020, as she comes to Erinsborough to check up on new general manager of Lassiters, Chloe Brennan (April Rose Pengilly).
