Barton last graced our screens in the horror/comedy film Spree as London Sachs. The former teen drama star will play the role of Reece on Neighbours, who an Erinsborough newcomer who is not whom she appears to be. The description of her character makes this news even more exciting.
Neighbours is a top-rated soap-style show in Australia that will be launching its 38th season after initially ending in September 2022; News was announced just months later in November that production would restart on the show, and it will now be broadcasted on Amazon Freevee after being broadcast on 10 Peach from 2011-2022. The excellent news for American fans of Barton is that since the show moved to Freevee, it will be easily accessible to stream in the United States.
