Home and Away fans were left in shock on Monday night when fan favourite Robbo (Jake Ryan) tragically met his end during a dramatic movie-length premiere.
Following the untimely death of Mason Morgan (Orpheus Pledger) in the season finale’s deadly hospital siege, Robbo was forced to face off against traitor and dirty federal police officer Scott (Trent Baines).

However, at the eleventh hour, Scott decides to run the car they’re travelling in off the road, tragically killing Robbo in the process.
Taking to his Instagram following the episode’s airing, actor Jake Ryan bid farewell to the show where he spent three years and shared a collage of photos from behind the scenes of his time on the show.
“Wow, what a ride the last 2.5 yrs have been. So many good memories,” the 36-year-old penned.
“So much love to my Home and Away fam. Miss and love the lot of you. That’s for such a fun experience. Cast and crew…amazing humans. Thanks for putting up with me.
