GOODBYE TO SUMMER BAY: HOME AND AWAY STAR REVEALS SHE’S FILMING HER FINAL SCENE

Summer Bay is bracing for another emotional shake-up as a beloved Home and Away actress has confirmed she is officially filming her final scene on the long-running Australian drama. The news, shared quietly but with unmistakable finality, has already sent fans into a frenzy of heartbreak, speculation, and disbelief.

After years spent weaving her character into the heart and history of the Bay, the actress — whose exit has been rumoured behind the scenes for months — has finally spoken out. In a candid on-set update, she revealed that her last day of filming has arrived, marking the end of an era not just for her, but for viewers who have followed her journey from her very first episode.

“It’s surreal,” she admitted. “You prepare yourself for this moment, but when you’re actually standing there, surrounded by the crew who’ve been your second family, you realise just how much of your life you’ve given to this place. It’s bittersweet… part of me is ready for what comes next, but part of me will always belong in Summer Bay.”

Her words struck a deep chord with fans, many of whom have grown up watching her character evolve through heartbreak, triumph, tragedy, and reinvention — as all good Home and Away storylines demand. Whether she was surviving danger, falling in and out of love, or simply trying to keep the peace in the Bay’s endlessly turbulent surf club, she brought a grounded warmth and complexity that made her one of the show’s most recognisable faces.

Production insiders say her final storyline has been tightly guarded, with only a handful of cast and crew aware of the full script. Speculation is already flying: will her character leave the Bay for a fresh start? Will she be caught in one of the show’s trademark high-stakes disasters? Or will she simply slip away in a quiet, heartfelt goodbye? What is known is that her exit is expected to air in coming months, and producers have promised a “memorable, emotional farewell worthy of her legacy.”

Co-stars have also begun posting their own subtle tributes. One castmate shared a behind-the-scenes snapshot of the actress laughing between takes, writing: “The Bay won’t be the same without you.” Another referred to her as “a leader, a confidante, and someone who lifted every scene she walked into.”

Her departure marks yet another shift in a year packed with cast changes for the soap, which remains one of Australia’s most enduring television staples. But while fans may be devastated, the actress says she leaves with gratitude — and excitement.

“Home and Away gave me so much,” she said. “It challenged me, pushed me, and allowed me to grow in ways I never expected. But now it’s time for a new chapter.”

As Summer Bay prepares to say goodbye, one thing is certain: her final scene will be one fans won’t forget.
