*Home and Away* fans are buzzing with speculation after a surprising
social media post led them to believe that a long-time cast member
may be leaving the show. Fans recently noticed that actress Emily Weir,
who has portrayed Mackenzie Booth since 2019, is enjoying a vacation in the U.S. with former co-stars Sarah Roberts and Tim Franklin. This discovery, paired with the fact that Emily’s three-year contract is about to expire, has sparked rumors that this trip might be a farewell celebration.
Fans have been closely monitoring Emily’s social media activity, with one eagle-eyed viewer pointing out a photo of her sunbathing by a hotel pool, captioning it with concerns about her contract ending. Adding fuel to the fire, Sarah Roberts posted a bikini shot on Instagram that featured Emily having fun in a pool with Tim Franklin, further prompting fans to speculate about her future on the show.
Both Sarah and Tim left *Home and Away* in 2021, and their reunion with Emily has heightened suspicions about her departure. Emily herself hinted at leaving the series during an interview last month, where she revealed that she and co-star Tristan Gory, who plays her on-screen love interest, Levi, had considered moving on from the show after the shocking death of Felicity Newman, portrayed by Jackie Pervis.
Emily expressed her desire for Mackenzie to leave Summer Bay rather than die, hoping for a potential return in the future. However, if her character were to meet a dramatic end, she imagined going out in a thrilling, action-packed scene. Fans were left heartbroken when Felicity’s character collapsed and was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, marking Jackie’s exit from the show. Could Emily be the next fan favorite to say goodbye?
