Looks like we’re definitely saying goodbye to a fan fave on Home and Away next year.
The Home and Away 2025 spoilers have been coming in thick and fast, so if you hate spoilers, look away right now! If you keep reading, I assume you came here for the exact purpose of finding out what is going to happen to some of our favourite characters in Summer Bay next year, so let’s get straight into it.
For months rumours have been rife about certain fan faves leaving the show: from Xander and Rose, to Tane, to Harper and her baby, to Alf’s estranged second cousin’s long lost dog or something. The point is, speculation is mounting in fan Facebook groups and it looks like a few little theories have now been confirmed.
New romance in Summer Bay for 2025
In amongst the death and drama, the other thing that hooks fans into shows like Home and Away is the chaotic love lives of the Bay dwellers. For such a small town, there’s just so much love and horniness. Good for them.
Fans started speculating recently after Abigail Fowler’s arrival into the Bay that she and Mali Hudson might end up together, and it looks all but confirmed after a fan leaked some footage of what appears to be the two kissing by the beach.
The footage left some fans confused after they thought Mali and Kirby would actually end up dating, with someone commenting, “What about Kirby? She deserves a great man…..they forgot about her?”
It happens to the best of us, sis.
Fan Favourite Set to Leave Home and Away
While one romance blossoms in Summer Bay, it doesn’t mean everyone gets a happy ending. Unfortunately, it’s time to say goodbye to a beloved character.
Rumors have been circulating for a while, and it’s now confirmed that Rose Delaney, Summer Bay’s cop and Mali’s ex-girlfriend, will be departing.
Actress Kirsty Marillier, who plays Rose, has been busy with new projects, including a role in Picnic at Hanging Rock at the Sydney Opera House from February 17 to April 5, 2025. Despite fans hoping she would stay, Kirsty was seen filming recently, but it’s now official that she wrapped her final scenes on October 9. In her farewell, Rose drives away from the Bay while her friends, including Kirby and Bree, wave her off.
With Rose’s brother, Xander, looking like he departs earlier, fans think maybe Rose leaves the Bay to go be with him. “I reckon Xander leaves to do his new business stuff and Rose can’t live without him so follows him a little later?” one person said.
“May as well call it ‘Away’ as everyone is leaving, no one is home,” another person quipped.
