There wasn’t a dry eye in the room on Tuesday night when 2025 Gold Logie winner Lynne McGranger, who plays Irene Roberts, made her final appearance on Home and Away.

While the heart-wrenching moments in the episode were notable, so was Ada Nicodemou, who showed she has barely aged a day since she first started playing Irene’s best friend Leah Patterson.

The Aussie actress’ face was wrinkle-free – a result of her cosmetic work over the years.

Ada, who has fronted the series for 25 years, teared up several times during the emotional goodbye.

The 48-year-old’s visage was taut, while her jawline appeared noticeably more pronounced than in previous years.

Ada has admitted to getting cosmetic work done in the past.

In 2019, the Aussie star confirmed that she had undergone breast augmentation and had Botox after years of speculation.

The mother-of-one made the admission while responding to an Instagram troll who implied she was ‘fake’.

‘I don’t use fillers and I rarely use Botox and the only surgery that I’ve done [that] is “fake” is breast augmentation, which I have every right to do,’ she wrote.

The Sydney-born actress told New Idea magazine in 2017 that she wouldn’t rule out using Botox or laser treatments in the future.

She claimed it was important to do ‘whatever makes you feel good’, adding that it was up to the individual.

‘I think these days most people are doing bits and pieces. Botox and lasers are like facials were 20 years ago,’ Ada said.

Home and Away said goodbye to one of the show’s most beloved character on Tuesday night, as she headed off to see the world after learning that she has Alzheimer’s disease.

As the iconic character jetted off to see Europe before her illness prevented her travelling, many viewers were moved – but others felt the episode fell short.

The chief complaint made by fans of the show was the lack of old cast members showing up to see Irene off – with some pointing out that even the current cast was oddly absent from the emotional final scenes.

‘Would have been nice to have some flashbacks as she was leaving or some old faces to send her off felt a little off that the whole cast wasn’t there,’ wrote one person on X.

‘Those cast members who didn’t show up to Irene’s farewell, shame shame,’ said another.

One more chimed in: ‘They seriously couldn’t even get all the current main cast in let alone previous characters. Low key as bit s**t.’
