Announcing the news of her Home and Away departure on Instagram, McGranger said: “After almost 33 years in my dream role and working everyday with people who I love, respect and whom I now consider family, it's bittersweet to be closing the chapter on what has been the best and longest gig of my life.”.
“Such [an] icon on the show, thank you from all us fans for giving us so many amazing memories of Irene in the bay!” one person wrote.
The actor, 72, who has played Irene Roberts on the soap since January 1993 after taking over from Jacqy Phillips, is set to leave the show later this year.
She continued: “I am forever grateful to the best production crew in the world and to our genius writers – whose doors are always open – for everything they have done for Irene over the past 33-odd years.”.
