We don't think so!" Crick went on to call Holly a "mini-diva", adding that "Horrid Holly better do something to make us like her – and fast!" On 11 March 2014, it was announced that Holly would be returning to ''Neighbours'' and she returned on 30 May. Holly made a brief appearance in 2017, and returned alongside Izzy in early 2018. The character demonstrates soap opera rapid aging syndrome: six years after her on-screen birth, Hall's casting saw Holly's age increased to eight, and nine years after this her age had advanced again to nineteen. Izzy Hoyland becomes pregnant after she has a one-night stand with her ex-partner, Karl Kennedy. When she discovers her pregnancy, Izzy leaves Erinsborough. Eight months later in London, Izzy runs into Karl and his wife, Susan. Susan helps Izzy reunite with her boyfriend, Pete, and he urges her to tell Karl the truth about the baby. The following day, Izzy watches as Karl and Susan are remarried on a boat on the Thames and she goes into labour. Karl delivers their daughter and Izzy names her Holly. Deciding not to ruin Karl and Susan's day, Izzy keeps quiet about Holly's paternity. However, Susan overhears Izzy and Pete talking and she tells Karl once they return home. Izzy initially asks Karl to stay out of Holly's life, but he flies back to London to spend time with her. Susan later agrees to become Holly's godmother and Karl tries to visit her as often as he can. When Izzy goes on a cruise with her new partner, she puts Holly on a plane to send her to stay with Karl and Susan. Holly is happy to see her father again and spend time with him. However, she makes her dislike of Susan clear by glaring at her and calling her old. Holly later admits to Karl that she is missing Izzy. Susan rebukes Holly when she spills nail polish on the couch. Holly believes Susan hates her because of who her mother is, but Karl tells her that is not true and asks her to make an effort with Susan. Holly draws a picture of her mother and crosses her out, causing Karl to realise that she is angry at Izzy. When Holly tries to add a picture of herself to the Kennedy portrait, she falls from the stool she is standing on, hurting her knee. Karl tends to the injury and learns that Holly wants to be part of the family. Holly later tells Karl that she is worried that Susan does not like her, but Karl assures her that is not the case. Susan sits her Holly and explains to her that despite their rocky start, she does care about her. They both admit to being scared of each other at first and decide to give each other a chance. Holly then admits that she wants to stay with Karl and Susan. When Karl tells Holly that Izzy is letting her stay for longer, Holly believes that she does not want her. Holly tells Karl and Susan that she wants to go back home and Karl flies to London with her. Holly returns the following year, after Susan organises a surprise visit for Karl. After Holly sings with Karl, he realises she has a good singing voice and he enters her into a junior talent competition. After she witnesses the judges criticising another contestant, Holly becomes nervous and runs off stage. Karl assures her that she does not have to sing in public if she does not want to.

Izzy returns to Erinsborough with Holly for Toadie's belated 21st birthday party. Holly visits her mother in the hospital, after Susan accidentally strikes Izzy with her car. Izzy tells Holly that their £41 million inheritance has come through. Karl and Susan are pleased to see Holly, but Izzy's presence causes a rift in their relationship. Izzy asks Karl to father another child with her, so Holly will have a full sibling. Holly becomes concerned when Karl and Susan's marriage is strained by Izzy's request. She later learns that Izzy has told Karl that she will take back her donation to the new hospital wing if he refuses her request. Holly learns Karl has taken part in a fertility trial as part of a research project and tells Izzy, who then steals his sperm sample to impregnate herself. Holly gets drunk with some male school friends, and Karl and Susan bring her back to Izzy's hotel room, where Holly blackmails Izzy into donating the money to the hospital. Izzy congratulates Holly for setting her up. Holly gets drunk again and passes out. After losing her money, Izzy returns to London, leaving Holly with Karl and Susan. Holly starts work experience at the hospital, but after learning that Karl has lost his job, she steals research papers to help him out and is fired. Holly is selected to go on a six-month exchange trip to China after applying in secret. But Karl refuses to let her go until Susan tells him that Holly has never felt validated and will resent him if he makes her stay. Karl changes his mind and makes Holly promise to visit Izzy first and to stay in regular contact with him while she is in China.
