Olympia confirmed earlier this month that she would be returning to Ramsay Street for the Neighbors final, after the soap was canceled in February.
She recalled her time on the show warmly in an interview with Greek news channel Neos Kosmos.
“The neighbors have always felt like home to me,” she said. “There’s a reason everyone calls Buren the best training ground in the world.”

She said the news of the show’s cancellation following the loss of British broadcasting partner Channel 5 made her extremely sad.
‘I feel like I grew up with Neighbours. It’s incredibly special to step back into Paige’s shoes as Australia bids farewell to its most iconic television show,” she added.
Olympia did not say whether her half-sister Holly would be joining her in the final.

It comes after images surfaced on TikTok earlier this week of Neighbors icons Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan, who played Scott Robinson and Charlene Mitchell in the ’80s, back on Ramsay Street to film a cameo.
The couple, whose wedding was watched on television by 22 million viewers in Britain and Australia 34 years ago, were seen filming scenes for the highly anticipated finale.
Kylie was wearing jeans, suggesting Charlene is still working as a mechanic three decades after she left Erinsborough.
They’re back! Footage has surfaced this week of Neighbors icons Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan, who played Scott Robinson and Charlene Mitchell in the ’80s, back on Ramsay Street.
Earlier this month, a leaked script revealed the fate of lovebirds Charlene and Scott.
The pair return to Erinsborough at the end of the episode and deliver the closing lines, according to the Popbitch newsletter.
The ’80s favourites, still together more than 30 years after getting married, stop in their car on Ramsay Street and say, “We’re home.”
Iconic: The TV couple’s wedding on Neighbors was watched by two million Australians on July 1, 1987. Their union was an even bigger attraction when it aired in the UK a year later, with 19.6 million viewers, making it Britain’s third most watched show of 1988
