And so when the former colleagues took to the Logies stage to present the Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter, there was barely a dry eye in the house!

โ€œItโ€™s always so lovely to see Ray,โ€ Kate, 46, tells TV WEEK. โ€œWe were just saying how we have to make time to catch up properly,โ€ with Ray adding that they โ€œalways try to do it at least once a yearโ€ but havenโ€™t in a while asโ€จtheir schedules have been โ€œa little crazy latelyโ€.

โ€œYou did come to the 80th that Channel Seven threw me, though,โ€ he says. โ€œIt was so nice of you to come to a silly old buggerโ€™s birthday party too, given how you were filming 18 things at once.โ€

Ray, who plays Summer Bay veteran Alf Stewart, first met Kate, who played Sally Fletcher, as a shy nine-year-old in the dramaโ€™s pilot episode in 1988. He says heโ€™s been so proud to watch his friendโ€™s career flourish since she left the show in 2008, and thought she was โ€œfantasticโ€ in โ€จthe Logie-nominated 2023 crime drama The Claremont Murders.

โ€œIf there ever was a natural, sheโ€™s standing right here,โ€ he says. โ€œKate just picks up the script and it happens. It drives me nuts โ€“ it shouldnโ€™t be that easy! Iโ€™d welcome her back [to Home And Away] with open arms tomorrow.โ€

And it seems as if fans would also love her to come back, with rumours of a return swirling almost every week.

โ€œThey didnโ€™t kill me off, so they [the showโ€™s producers] have left the door open,โ€ Kate says. โ€œBut itโ€™s not happening anytime soon.โ€
