There is another Australian soap opera story in the news this week. This time, it's Home and Away related.
It has been confirmed that Lynne McGranger - who has played Irene Roberts in the soap since 1993 - is leaving.
A friend of mine shared the news story this morning. Since then, I have seen a post on TAFKA Twitter from Channel 5 relaying it to its followers.
Quite big news considering Irene is one of the major characters in Home and Away. The character has recently been temporarily written out of storylines after falling off the wagon and getting rehabilitation as she's an alcoholic.
In reality, I believe Lynne McGranger had to take time off following hip surgery.
Irene Roberts first came to Summer Bay in late 1991, but was portrayed by a different actress. The early Irene was a baddie, due to her addiction, but the version portrayed by McGranger has been the complete opposite - a strong, positive role model who is well aware of her faults.
She'll be missed. I hope they don't kill her off!
