Home and Away star Lukas Radovich has announced his departure from the Channel Seven show.
The 27-year-old actor revealed on Instagram on Thursday he will be leaving the soap after five years.
‘What an amazing journey. I’ll make it brief because I can’t adequately articulate how the last five years have felt or changed my life. I’ll miss the job, but most of all, the people,’ Lukas wrote.

‘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.’
‘It also warms my heart to see my parents and @liamforcadilla appear as extras in my final shows.’ Until next time, see you on the other side.’

Lukas stated in January that the most difficult moment to film was last year’s season finale, in which Ryder was buried alive in a coffin for a video challenge.
Ryder was buried alive by his friend Theo, played by actor Matt Evans, in the episode.
The men devise a scam to raise money to pay off a debt owing to Ryder’s mother, Georgie Parker, who plays Roo Stewart.
‘What an incredible ride. I can’t really express how the last 5 years has felt or impacted my life so I’ll keep it short. I’ll miss the job, but most importantly I’ll miss the people,’ Lukas wrote
However, when Theo is injured and Ryder is locked in a coffin buried beneath, everything goes horribly wrong.
‘I knew it was going to be significant when I saw my name on the call sheet for the entire day,’ he told 7Entertainment.
‘Learning and being covered in dirt for such a long time was difficult. It was, however, the most satisfying.’
