Following Courtney Miller’s departure from the popular soap, Lukas Radovich paid a touching homage to his former co-star and close friend Courtney Miller.
In honour of her upcoming chapter, the actor took to Instagram and shared a bunch of photographs of the Summer Bay veteran.
“Congratulations on becoming an ex-Home and Away star my girl,” Lukas penned. “Welcome to the club. What a ride you had. We had a lot of fun. I took a lot of terrible photos ❤❤.”
Amused by her friend’s post, Courtney was quick to comment: “You DO take terrible photos. You’re lucky I love your guts.”
In a touching tribute, veteran actress Georgie Parker tweeted a trio of images of Courtney, two of which included Lukas.
“Onto your next adventure glorious one. We love you Court, best of luck with ALL of your creative adventures. Can’t wait to see what you do next darling,” Georgie captioned the post.
Sophie Dillman, who plays Ziggy Astoni on the soap, also shared a cute selfie of herself and Courtney, simply captioning it: “What an incredible talent. The bay misses you! @courtney_ally.”
The actress portrayed Bella Nixon on Home and Away until her departure. Her character, a photography aficionado, bid her goodbyes to the Bay after being offered a position in New York.
Courtney announced her departure on Instagram with a series of throwback photos from her time on the show, as well as some heartfelt thoughts about her experience.
“To the time of my life. ?,” she penned. “Thank-you @homeandaway. Forever & always your Bella.”
The actress added: “But most importantly… to the loved ones I made. Big shoutout to @lucyaddario @sophbabs @louise.bowes @brodietmacpherson and Julie ❤️.”
Courtney was quickly inundated with messages of encouragement from her Home and Away family.
Fellow alum Sarah Roberts was stunned by the news, penning: “Omggg are u gone????? ? My sweet river sis x ????????.”
Meanwhile, longtime Summer Bay dweller Georgie Parker added her love, writing: “Yay beautiful one ❤️❤️❤️.”
Lynne McGranger also lamented in Courtney’s departure, commenting: “Miss you girlie ???.”
Courtney’s departure comes just a month after her pal Lukas’s career as Ryder Jackson on Home and Away came to an end.
To honour their journey together, Courtney wrote an equally emotional homage to her former co-star at the time of his final episode.
“Lukie. May we always look at each other like this,” she wrote. “Congratulations on the last 5 years. I love you. We love you. They love you. Long live Ryder. ❤️❤️❤️?”
