Lynne McGranger’s baby joy! Home and Away star reveals major family news
Home and Away star Lynne McGranger has revealed some exciting family news, just days after winning the coveted Gold Logie.
The 72-year-old veteran actress confirmed to New Idea magazine that she is going to be a grandmother.
She revealed her 34-year-old daughter Clancy is pregnant with her first child, two years after marrying her fiancé Luke Dickson.
Lynne told the publication she and her long-time partner Paul were waiting ‘with bated breath’ for the arrival of their first grandchild.
In March 2023, Lynne became a first-time great-aunt to a girl named Paris, after her nephew James welcomed his first child.
The exciting news comes after Lynne made a shock career announcement following her Gold Logie win over the weekend.

All signs pointed to Lynne retiring from acting for good when she won on Sunday night.
The performer, who quit Home and Away earlier this year, appeared content to rest on her laurels after a decades-long career.
But she revealed on Monday that she is far from finished when it comes to her acting aspirations.
‘I’m not retiring, absolutely not,’ she told The Daily Telegraph following her Gold Logie win.
‘If I had the opportunity to come back to television at some point, of course I would consider it depending on the role and the show … but not another 33 years because otherwise I’d be very, very old.’
The star has already lined up her next gig – she is touring with the stage play, The Grandparents Club.
Lynne has the lead role in the musical comedy, which is on the road around Australia until October.
The performer says that the ‘stars have aligned’ for her, and she’s ‘very comfortable’ with her choice to quit the soap and pursue a stage career.

Every winner at the 2025 Logie Awards – as Home and Away star Lynne McGranger takes home the crown
McGranger took home the crown on Sunday night when she was awarded the Gold Logie at The Star in Sydney.
She took to the 2025 Logies stage with a smile in her gold gown as she accepted the award from 2009 winner Rebecca Gibney.
Lynne beat TV stars Ally Langdon, Hamish Blake, Julia Morris, Poh Ling Yeow and Sonia Kruger for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television.
‘Wear a pretty dress they said. You’ll be fine they said,’ joked Lynne, who recently announced she was leaving her soap show after 33 years.
‘I’m thrilled and honoured… I don’t know if any of you have caught my press lately. There hasn’t been much,’ she said.
‘I did promise if I won the Gold Logie, I would carry it around in my handbag for a year, which is better than baring my white a** on TV, Larry,’ she added.
The joke was in reference to The Morning Show host Larry Emdur having his behind tattooed live on air last year after he won the Gold Logie.
Lynne then joked she would have her ashes put in the Logie when she dies, before thanking her Home and Away co-stars and crew.
She filmed her final scenes for Home and Away in March, saying goodbye to her character, Irene, after over 30 years in the cast.
