On 14 April 2005, Kris Green from Digital Spy reported that Stapleton had agreed to reprise her role for the show's 20th anniversary episode. The "Neighbours" producers contacted Stapleton's agent about a possible return and she agreed to come back as she was already in Melbourne. On her decision to return to "Neighbours", Stapleton said "I was really happy to come back. I wanted to do it for some closure for the character. I really enjoyed playing the character of Amy, and it would be nice for people who remember her to be able to know how she turned out!" Stapleton added that "Neighbours" was the "best training ground" for her acting career.
