Sam received accolades for her 18-month stay on the show from former associate producer Brodie Macpherson of Home and Away.
In addition to a photo from her final day on set, Brodie also shared one from Sam’s very first day of filming.
“Proud of you. Proud of your work. Proud to be your friend,” she penned.
Sam’s final scenes aired on Thursday night, with her character Chloe saying goodbye to Summer Bay to be with her mum in New Zealand.
After trying out for four additional Home and Away roles, the 22-year-old was offered the role of Mia’s daughter in February of last year.
She admitted to Perth Now that her first day on set didn’t really feel real; rather, it was more like a dream.
“Every day I pick up new skills from everyone and the crew. My favourite aspect of producing the show is that. As a beginning performer, everyone is always willing to assist you.”
Sam leaves Home and Away after a number of other key cast members, including Sam Frost, Harley Bonner, Lukas Radovich, and Rob Kipa-Williams, left earlier this year.
