“On one hand, I’m going to miss everybody, and on the other it felt like it was the right time to go,” the actor said at the time.
“I was happy with the work I’d done − and the storyline wrapped up nicely.”
Charlie, whose character Zac was married to Ada Nicodemou’s Leah also revealed that he was going to miss his on-screen wife the most out of the cast.
“I’m really proud of what Ada and I did together,” he told TV WEEK in 2017. “I loved working with her.”

“Last night we said goodbye to Zac 😞 I miss working with u everyday, miss your bad jokes and all the laughs we used to have,” she wrote in the caption.
“Summer bay house isn’t the same without your ‘interesting’ art. I don’t see u everyday but you’re always in my heart and you’ll always be my friend. Good luck in the next venture @charlie_clausen.”
