She’s starred as Raffy Morgan on Home and Away for three years, but now it’s time for Olivia Deeble to take the next step. The 17-year-old actress is leaving Summer Bay for LA, where she scored a role in the upcoming Disney+ film Secret Society Of Second Born Royals.
Her final episode of Home and Away aired on Channel Seven overnight, and Olivia took to Instagram to mark the occasion with a special post for her fans; a video with her on-screen older brother James Stewart (who plays Justin Morgan).
“This clip was taken as I finished my last scene,” she writes. “After 3 years and almost 1000 episodes I completed my journey in the bay.
“It was the most amazing experience of my life, I will be eternally grateful for all of my cast mates and crew. Thank you to all of you for the constant support and love.”
