Neighbors star Jacinta Stapleton has garnered a legion of fans portraying Amy Greenwood in the beloved Australian soap opera.
And the actress, 43, proved she’s in the best shape of her life on Saturday as she stripped down to a skimpy red bikini on the Gold Coast.
Jacinta looked like a woman half her age as she enjoyed some rest and relaxation a day before her scheduled appearance at the TV Week Logie Awards.

The star was then seen drying off with a striped towel after her refreshing swim.
On one occasion, she was seen chatting up a male pal as they walked through the sand together, taking up most of the town.
Jacinta was pictured filming her final scenes in Melbourne for Neighbors last month.

She portrayed Amy Greenwood from 1997 to 2000. She then returned to the show to reprise the role from 2020 to present.
In the scenes, Jacinta clutched a broom as she stood on a street in distressed jeans, which she wore with a white t-shirt and white sneakers.
Her long blonde hair was tied in a high ponytail and she filmed with both Freya Van Dyke and Lucinda Cowden.

The series announced in a tweet back in March that it was ending production on the long-running soap.
“We are so sorry to say that after nearly 37 years and nearly 9,000 episodes aired, we have to confirm that Neighbors will end production in June,” they wrote.
“After the loss of our key broadcast partner in the UK, and despite an intensive search for alternative funding, we simply have no choice but to cancel the show.
