Hint: it is not an acting role.
Penny McNamee, a former Home and Away actor, has returned to the serial opera, but not as Tori Morgan.
The actor announced her return to the programme, this time as a writer, by posting a photo of the Home and Away end titles on Instagram.
“PLoTwiST! Same renowned crew, different position in the credits, she noted in her caption.
“I feel a little overwhelmed by all the support and affection. Thank you, lovely people. Penny commented further.
It’s not yet clear if this was a one-time affair or if she’ll be contributing to the show frequently. Also unknown is whether she’ll play Tori when she returns to the soap opera.
After Penny’s character Tori married Christian Green and they decided to leave the Bay, they both left the programme in 2021. Tori then relocated to the UK to work at a hospital.
At the moment, she sent a tribute on Instagram, praising the cast and crew for their hard work and inviting atmosphere, as well as the fans for their support.
The time has come for me to say goodbye to Tori Morgan and Summer Bay after five absolutely wonderful years, she said. I want to thank a lot of people for making my time on Home and Away possible because I am really appreciative of it.
Thank you to our wonderful and kind-hearted cast members (past and present), crew, writers, publicists, and production team for your friendliness, warmth, and sense of humour, the actor added.
“To my amazing followers who have helped me out by encouraging me and making humorous photo modifications for me. I’ve read all of your letters and responses, and I value each and every one.
