There are few Australian television shows that can match the legacy that Home and Away has built since its first episode aired in 1988.
In it’s nearly 40 years on Channel Seven, Home and Away has become a starting point for many Australian actors turned Hollywood super stars, including Naomi Watts, Samara Weaving, Luke Bracey, and Chris Hemsworth.

While starring on Home and Away, the cast have formed lifelong friends including Kate Ritchie and Isla Fisher.
And who could forget the legacy stars Ray Meagher (Alf Stewart), Ada Nicodemou (Leah Patterson), James Stewart (Justin Morgan), Georgie Parker (Roo Stewart), Emily Symons (Marilyn Chambers) and Lynne McGranger (Irene Roberts) – who will sadly be departing the series in 2025.
Ray has been with Home and Away since the very beginning, and no fan will ever forget his classic quotes like “glamin’ galah,” “stone the flamin’ crows,” “strike me” or “strewth.”
