her too as she's become a teacher, which apparently in Australia requires no formal training. Interesting." British newspaper, The Guardian, included Libby in a feature called "Soaps' most bizarre recasts". Of the character's temporary recast, they said "A staple of Neighbours since 1994, we've watched Libby Kennedy get married, get widowed, get married again, get divorced and – for one confusing month – turn into a completely different person. They added that the recast was the "most confusing Neighbours moment since that time Bouncer got married in his dreams". British weekly magazine NOW compiled a special gallery to decide whether Libby was best played by Valentine or Banas. They describe Libby has never having any luck in her love life and since Drew's death has been doomed it's got worse. In June 2014, Kerry Barrett from All About Soap was pleased to see Libby return, saying "We were just as thrilled as the Kennedys were to see lovely Lib back in Erinsborough. And when Karl asked if she had anything to go home to, we thought how brilliant it would be if she stayed." Libby was placed at number thirty-four on the Huffpost's "35 greatest Neighbours characters of all time" feature. Journalist Adam Beresford branded her "the classic girl next door" type who was "principled, driven and kinda self-righteous." In 2016, Katie Baillie writing for Metro included Libby on a list of the "worst Neighbours characters" ever. She stated that Libby was dubbed "saint Libby" by viewers, owing to her "judgemental and self-righteous attitude" despite romancing a student. Baillie also criticised her for constantly moving home as an adult.
