Every time a Home and Away actor leaves the Bay, it is a sad occasion. Nearly though 2022 isn’t even halfway over, it feels like cherished characters have left the popular soap opera this year.
While some celebrities have formally announced their exits and stopped filming altogether, some of their last moments have not yet been shown.
View the complete list of cast members who have left Home and Away thus far in 2022 by scrolling down.
Lukas Radovich
After five wonderful years in Summer Bay, Lukas bid goodbye to his fellow cast members and staff in May. Although the 27-year-old actor’s final episode on the soap opera was broadcast on Thursday night, he shot his final scenes in December.
Since 2017, he has played Ryder, a character who left the Bay with his mother Quinn to work as a casino croupier on a cruise liner.
What a fantastic voyage, Lukas wrote on Instagram, thanking his co-stars and supporters for their encouragement throughout the previous five years. I’ll keep this brief because I can’t really put into words how the past five years have affected or felt in my life.
“I’ll miss the job, but most importantly I’ll miss the people. A special mention to @tony_gardiner for directing my final block with empathy.
“And thanks to the FANS OF THE SHOW who’ve made the experience unforgettable ❤… Until the next thing – catch you on the flipside ?”
Harley Bonner
Harley, who is the son of Neighbours star Carla Bonner, confirmed he left Home and Away on January 11, though his final episodes didn’t air until June.

Courtney Miller
In early June of 2022, Courtney, who had been portraying the teenage Bella Nixon since November 2018, quit the soap opera.
After receiving a job offer in New York, her character Bella, a photography fanatic, said her goodbyes to Summer Bay.
Courtney announced her departure from the soap opera on her own Instagram and posted a number of old photos from her time there along with some heartfelt reflections.
“To the time of my life. ?. Thank-you @homeandaway. Forever & always your Bella. But most importantly… to the loved ones I made. Big shoutout to @lucyaddario @sophbabs @louise.bowes @brodietmacpherson and Julie ❤️,” she penned.

Sam Frost
Sam Frost’s departure from Home and Away this year was arguably one of the most surprising and tragic. The former Bachelorette stated in February that she had abandoned her role as Jasmine Delaney after five years to attend to her mental health.
“In order to take care of my mental health, I left my ideal job at Home and Away. After months of speculation about her motive for leaving the show, Sam finally admitted in February that she needed to take a step back, go home, and be with her family.
The most essential thing is to look after my health and wellbeing. I now spend my days doing the things I’ve always wanted to do but couldn’t because I was too busy working with the people I love.
“I spent 4.5 years missing important milestones as a sister, a distant friend, and a distant girlfriend. I’m making up for lost time right now.”
Sam left Home and Away after receiving criticism for saying she wouldn’t be receiving the COVID vaccine.
Sam made the announcement that she would be taking the vaccine but wouldn’t get both vaccinations until February when Channel Seven informed that all employees would need to be completely immunised.
But after only a few weeks, she left the programme.
Rob Kipa-Williams
This year, Rob Kipa-Williams left Home and Away as well; his final moments as Ari Parata were broadcast in March.
After the episode aired, Rob said goodbye to the programme and his beloved character on Instagram. He also took the opportunity to express his wishes for the future of Home and Away.
He wrote in the caption, “Thank you to the fans for all the love and incredible amounts of messages and support.
“Thank you to everyone who made the wheels turn, including the cast, crew, camera, directors, production, writing, makeup, art department, and everyone else in between.”
Rob released a video montage of himself and his co-stars touring the set one more time a day before his final scene was shown.
“A final trip down memory lane. Tomorrow will be a crushing blow to you, “He made fun. Which set did I omit to pass through?
Just over two years with the programme came to an end with Rob’s departure, after his character Ari made his debut in the 2019 season finale.
