Kate Richie’s Final Scene
December 14, 2007
Kate Richie (Sally Fletcher) has finished filming her final scene on Home And Away, after being on the show for 20 years.
“On the one hand you feel this incredible sadness, on the other, it feels like the beginning of the next part of my life.
“And yet I can’t deny that saying goodbye to Sally Fletcher is the hardest thing I have ever done.”
Her final episode wont air until April, so viewers have a while to wait.
Next year Kate joins FM station Nova 96.9’s breakfast crew with Merrick and Rosso.





20 years eh? You have to applaud that much stick-to-it-ness in an “entertainer” whether Hollywood or Oz or anywhere.
So… unless she started as a kid, that would make her close to, if not, 40! And she looks quite delectable.
Hey stara, do you ever get any news about my favorite sexy lass from down under, Lucy Lawless? I know she’s originally from New Zealand and not Oz, but it’s still Down Under where I sit.
Hi Brentus,
Yes, she started on the show as a kid. She is actually 29.
As to Lucy, I did hear of her a while ago this year, can’t think what it was now, but I’ll see if I can find anything recent on her.

Well I’m an old fart compared to everyone else who has written here: I am 36 this year, and have been watching Home and Away since day one.
Kate, you have grown into a beautiful woman, one chapter of your life is finishing, while another chapter is about to begin. I wish you well, you are an inspiration to everyone. You should be proud of yourself!
Love and best wishes
