In December 2007, Kate Ritchie walked off the set of Home and Away for the last time with her final appearance airing on screens in April 2008.
Since her time on television as Sally Fletcher, Kateโs career has skyrocketed and she is now a co-host on one of Sydneyโs 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 โWippaโ Wipfli seemed to be on fans side as he attempted to get the truth from her.
โCan I ask a question?โ he questioned asked Kate. โI 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 โyesโ. 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: โI know youโre going back to the bay. Iโve seen your emails as I sit next to you in the office.โ
โNo you donโt, 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 โa 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, โI think every time I post a photo of Palm Beach or me, [people assume] Iโm going back to Home and Away. [But itโs] not [happening] any day soon anyway.โ
Kate went on to say sheโs not completely opposed to the possibility of returning to the beloved soap in the future.
โThey didnโt kill me off so I guess I could probably head back one day but it feels like a lifetime ago now. And itโs very well looked after without me there so I donโt 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.
