In December 2007, Kate Ritchie walked off the set of Home and Away from the final time with her final appearance airing on screens in April 2008.

Since her time on television as Sally Fletcher, Kate’s career has skyrocketed and she is now a co-host on one of Sydney’s most popular radio programs, Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie.

Now, rumours have begun to circulate as people question whether Kate is set to return to Home and Away. Her radio co-host Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli seemed to be on fans side as he attempted to get the truth from her.

“Can I ask a question?” he questioned asked Kate. “I want a yes or no answer from you? Did you last night catch up with the actors and crew from Home and Away?”

Kate responded yes. It was no secret that Kate had met with her former co-stars after sharing a snap with the Australian legend Ray Meagher, who is known for his famed role as Summer Bay resident, Alf Stewart.

Wippa added: “I know you’re going back to the bay. I’ve seen your emails as I sit next to you in the office.”

“No you don’t, you have bad eyes,” she jokingly responded.

Either Wippa is secretly a massive Home and Away fan or he loves to tease Kate because he continued to state she is due for “a bit of comeback” on the Aussie soap.

“So what I’m thinking of doing is jumping the gun…I’m going to bring you back to the bay! I’d like to get the crowd and the Home and Away fans warmed up, by maybe rolling out a couple of scenes here at Nova,” he explained.

While Wippa continued to explain his plot for a “movie-length production,” Kate and Fitzy grew more confused with the actress asking: “What is the point of this? Why are you trying to make me look silly, and you’re actually trying to blow an exclusive.”
