Fans Heartbroken Over Beloved ‘Home and Away’ Star’s Unexpected Death After Three Years on the Show: ‘Tears Haven’t Stopped’

Home and Away fans were left devastated on Monday night when beloved character Felicity Newman, portrayed by Jacqui Purvis, collapsed in a shocking scene.

In the heart-wrenching clip, Felicity suddenly fell to the ground during an emotional conversation with her ex-husband, Tane Parata, when her vision went blurry. She was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Upcoming promos have confirmed that Felicity will die, marking the end of Jacqui Purvis’s three-year run on the Channel Seven soap opera.

Fans expressed their grief on social media. “One of the best actresses Home and Away has ever had,” one Instagram user wrote about the 33-year-old actress. “She honestly deserves to be in blockbusters. So sad to see Flick go. What an incredible character!”

Another viewer commented, “This is going to be gut-wrenching to watch,” while others added, “Haven’t stopped crying; this show will be empty without Flick,” and “Flick was awesome! I only wished she and Tane stayed together. Also thought her exit would be a bit more explosive.”

Some fans criticized the decision to kill off the character. “Shouldn’t have killed her off,” one fan said, while another lamented, “Nooo, absolutely loved watching Flick, her energy & sparkle.”

Jacqui Purvis, known for her roles in Home and Away, Neighbours, A Lion Returns, and Undertow, plans to pursue a Hollywood career. “I’ve had an incredible time on the show. Some of the best years of my life,” Purvis told Yahoo Lifestyle. “However, I knew I wanted an international career, so I had to make the decision to leave and take the plunge. I owe so much to the show, and because of it, I feel confident and ready to take on the international stage.”

Purvis will soon be heading to Hollywood, following in the footsteps of former soap stars like Chris Hemsworth, Isla Fisher, and Samara Weaving.
