The veteran actress is one of the longest-serving stars on the Australian soap.
Now, after three decades in the role, Lynne is leaving the iconic Aussie show behind. Her final scenes were filmed in March.
Sources recently claimed Lynne will use her long-awaited retirement from the series to finally tie the knot with her long-term partner, Paul.
The couple have been together for more than 40 years.
A close friend of the soap star told New Idea a walk down the aisle could be on the cards now Lynne isn’t tied down by filming commitments for Home and Away.
‘Lynne used to joke that she and Paul would tie the knot when their daughter Clancy go married. She thought the idea of a double wedding was hilarious,’ they said.
‘But Clancy got married in August 2023 and her parents stubbornly kept their de facto status.’
‘All that could change now Lynne has more time on her hands. Watch this space.’
While Lynne has kept her relationship out of the public eye, she revealed to New Idea back in 2014, how love blossomed between the couple.
‘I invited him round to my place in 1984 [after having dinner together] and he never went home. Still hasn’t,’ she said at the time.
Lynne added while she was still waiting for Paul to propose, she was in no rush to tie the knot.
‘We always joke and say we’ll do it when we want some white goods, and I’m here to tell you now, we need a new washing machine,’ she joked.
