Scott’s character Mark was a fixture in Ramsay Street for five years before finally leaving the show in October last year.

“I have so much love for this place,” Scott wrote on Instagram as he bid farewell to the show.

“I feel extremely fortunate and very honoured to have worked with not only the amazing actors I can now call lifelong friends, but all the incredibly talented departments that make this place what it is.

“Without them, this show just wouldn’t exist.”
