HANDSOME soapy star Dan Paris is back on the street.
Paris, who found fame playing Drew Kirk on Neighbours, quit the show and turned his back on acting in June 2002.
The easy-going star was keen to travel with his partner and then settle in his home town of Esperance in Western Australia after 4 1/2 years on the long-running soap.
Despite regularly receiving offers for guest roles, Paris has -- with the exception of a brief cameo on McLeod's Daughters -- kept out of the spotlight, preferring to concentrate on developing his photographic skills snapping the rugged WA coastline.
After being out of the acting loop for so long, it was not surprising his reappearance on the Neighbours set this week caused a stir.
He is understood to be making a guest appearance, although it will be interesting to see how his character is written back into Ramsay St. Kirk died in a horse-riding accident three years ago.
