Courtney Miller bows out from the soap.
Home and Away airs Bella Nixon’s final scenes on UK screens next week.
Bella waves goodbye to Summer Bay after receiving an exciting offer to go and work in New York.
In upcoming Channel 5 episodes, Bella will attempt to persuade Nikau Parata to accompany her on her trip to the US to assist Emmett Ellison with a three-month project.
Nikau gently informs Bella that he will not be accompanying her because he does not wish to give up his new job as a paid lifeguard at the beach.
Nikau’s choice causes Bella to become unsettled since she doesn’t want to move forwards without him.
Bella is persuaded to reconsider her decision by Nikau, Mackenzie Booth, and Dean Thompson, who implore her not to pass up such a great opportunity.
In the end, Bella decides to travel to New York while continuing her distance relationship with Nikau.
Nikau has Emmett’s gratitude for his selflessness and for not getting in Bella’s way.
Later, Bella is given a private departure party by Mackenzie, which is attended by her closest friends.
Bella suggests raising a glass in honour of everyone who helped make Summer Bay their home. Knowing she has a solid home to return to gives her confidence as she travels to New York.
While Bella intends to return to the Bay, there may be a twist to the tale in the long-run as Courtney Miller – who played her – has confirmed that these are her final scenes.
When her exit aired in Australia last month, Courtney wrote on Instagram: “To the time of my life. Thank-you @homeandaway. Forever & always your Bella.”
