Lynne McGranger confesses she was 'terrified' to join the cast of Home and Away after bidding farewell to the iconic soap


Lynne McGranger has admitted that she was terrified to join the cast of Home and Away.

The actress, 72, who plays fan favourite Irene Roberts on the iconic Seven soap, has said 'goodbye' to Summer Bay, with her final scenes set to air next month. Lynne was gifted flowers by her co-stars, including Ada Nicodemou, and looked very emotional – albeit elated – as she finished up at Seven's long-running series after over 30 years in the cast. 'After almost 33 years in my dream role and working every day with people who I love, respect and whom I now consider family, it's bittersweet to be closing the chapter on what has been the best and longest gig of my life,' the veteran star said at the time.
