Summer Bay won't be the same!
Home and Away’s Lynne McGranger is leaving the soap after over three decades playing one of the most popular characters on Australian television, Irene Roberts.
In a statement announcing the news, Lynne wrote: “After almost 33 years in my dream role and working everyday with people who I love, respect and whom I now consider family, it’s bittersweet to be closing the chapter on what has been the best and longest gig of my life.
“I am forever grateful to the best production crew in the world and to our genius writers – whose doors are always open – for everything they have done for Irene over the past 33-odd years, and I am so proud of the storyline which will see Irene out of the Bay.
"Above all, a massive, heartfelt thank you to the fans for your continued love and support.”
Lynne, who is the longest-serving female actor in an Australian drama series, will leave the show later this year.
