Since her time on television as Sally Fletcher, Kateโ€™s career has skyrocketed and she is now a co-host on one of Sydneyโ€™s most popular radio programs, Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie.

Now, rumours have begun to circulate as people question whether Kate is set to return to Home and Away. Her radio co-host Michael โ€˜Wippaโ€™ Wipfli seemed to be on fans side as he attempted to get the truth from her.

โ€œCan I ask a question?โ€ he questioned asked Kate. โ€œI want a yes or no answer from you? Did you last night catch up with the actors and crew from Home and Away?โ€

Kate responded โ€˜yesโ€™. It was no secret that Kate had met with her former co-stars after sharing a snap with the Australian legend Ray Meagher, who is known for his famed role as Summer Bay resident, Alf Stewart.

Wippa added: โ€œI know youโ€™re going back to the bay. Iโ€™ve seen your emails as I sit next to you in the office.โ€

โ€œNo you donโ€™t, you have bad eyes,โ€ she jokingly responded.

Either Wippa is secretly a massive Home and Away fan or he loves to tease Kate because he continued to state she is due for โ€œa bit of comebackโ€ on the Aussie soap.

The actress further fuelled rumours of her return to Summer Bay at the 2024 TV Week Logies, saying, โ€œI think every time I post a photo of Palm Beach or me, [people assume] Iโ€™m going back to Home and Away. [But itโ€™s] not [happening] any day soon anyway.โ€

Kate went on to say sheโ€™s not completely opposed to the possibility of returning to the beloved soap in the future.

โ€œThey didnโ€™t kill me off so I guess I could probably head back one day but it feels like a lifetime ago now. And itโ€™s very well looked after without me there so I donโ€™t think so,โ€ she told TV Week.

There was also a mini Home And Away reunion at the event, as the 46-year-old presented an award alongside Ray Meagher.
