Home and Away star's exit from beloved series is LEAKED online
And now there's speculation online that actress Juliet Godwin is getting ready to make her exit from Summer Bay after a 'farewell' picture was leaked to Facebook.
The 31-year-old, who plays the character of Dr Bree Cameron, can be seen enjoying a meal with cast and crew, including co-star Matt Evans.
Also sharing in the festivities was Home and Away make-up artist Amy Weems, who was enjoying a birthday.
The photo also included the caption, 'Happy birthday @amyweems15 & farewell @julietgodwin_ you beauties.'

Fans were quick to comment on the post, shared to the Home and Away Spoilers and Info Facebook site.
'Yeah she is,' wrote one fan, while another claimed the actress has already filmed her final scenes.
However, not everyone was in agreement.
'Fake news,' quipped an enthusiastic viewer.
Channel Seven declined to comment after Daily Mail Australia approached the network to confirm any cast changes.
Home and Away was Juliet's first major TV gig, after she played the minor character of Cara in ABC drama series The Heights in 2020.
In an interview with PerthNow, the Zimbabwe-born star said landing the role of Bree was a 'dream come true'.
'That I'm able to wake up and go to set every day and do what I love is such a gift,' she said.
It comes after Home and Away legend Lynne McGranger recently admitted that she was terrified to join the cast of the beloved soap.
The actress, 72, who plays fan favourite Irene Roberts said 'goodbye' to Summer Bay earlier this year, with her final scenes set to air next month.
Reflecting on her iconic role, which she landed just prior to her 40th birthday, Lynne revealed that, having come from the theatre, she wasn't sure how she would fare on the small screen.
'I was terrified because of my age,' she told The Australian Women's Weekly.

Ciarán Hinds: ‘A sex symbol? If that's the way you want to put it, OK'
The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Richard Flanagan is one of the most viscerally challenging novels ever written about war. Set among a group of Australian POWs who have been forced to work on the construction of the Burma railway in 1942, the Booker Prize winner is unsparing in its depiction of violence, starvation and never-ending toil. A new adaptation, which starts on BBC One on Sunday, is equally graphic, and The Telegraph's critic Tim Robey said that one ' would need superhuman stamina to consider binge-ing it '. Yet perhaps the most devastating moment comes at the end when Ella Evans turns to her husband Dorrigo and tells him: 'You're the loneliest person I've ever met.' It's a damning comment after decades of marriage, but Evans is a man still carrying the weight of guilt and failure from his time commanding the POWs, and is also haunted by a doomed love affair. When asked by a journalist to be interviewed about the Second World War, Evans (now a respected-if-maverick surgeon) shuts down. 'There were people who just saw too much,' says Ciarán Hinds, who plays him. 'They'd been through hell. And you don't want to share hell with anybody, do you?' We are talking over Zoom because Hinds is filming in Dublin. He looks fit and relaxed, with those large, slightly sad eyes still penetrating. His voice is warm and rich, his Belfast accent still resonant. While viewers may find his latest project harrowing, Hinds says it is necessary to show such horrors, 'to try and understand the brutality that humans can inflict on each other, and also the suffering that people go through. All that is part of the same life package to me. It's not about indulgence or grossness, it's elemental.' The young Evans is played by Australian heartthrob Jacob Elordi, best known to UK audiences as the Byronic, indolent aristocrat in Emerald Fennell's Saltburn. Is he flattered by the casting? 'I was quite surprised,' admits Hinds. 'But poor Jacob Elordi. Look what he turns out like! The horror for his future!' Hinds is perhaps being somewhat disingenuous. At 72, he is still considered a sex symbol. 'Oh, if that's the way you want to put it, OK,' he says, waving the comment away. 'Some of my bones feel old, but my spirit feels kind of lively, just let down by the physical attributes. People tell me I look much younger, [that I am] a much younger spirit when I'm on screen.' It was probably the role of Captain Wentworth, smouldering and secretly sensitive, in Roger Michell's 1995 take on Jane Austen 's Persuasion (considered by many Austen fans as the best adaptation of any of her novels) that set the tone. 'I think it was rather short-lived, but you put any guy in a sailor's frock and people's heads will turn, no matter what.' You would imagine that Hinds has been turning heads since arriving in London from Belfast to study at Rada in the early 1970s. 'I arrived with a bit of a chip on my shoulder just because of what was happening over there [during the Troubles]. It was 1973, it was mayhem. I was at university for a few months, ostensibly studying law, but I applied to drama school in London because there weren't any in Northern Ireland, or I might have stayed. Hinds paints me a picture of a young man 'with flared jeans and really long hair, going round in sandals – Irish hippies were always a bit behind the times, what was hitting London in the late 1960s, we were getting in the early 1970s – but there was a look about me that made my friends a bit scared of me. Why? 'They said it was because I came from Belfast. 'You were different, you just had this hair, you're going like, 'Who wants it?'' But I was lucky because they were very open with me, asking seriously about what was going on back home because they knew there were problems, but they didn't really understand them.' Hinds tells me that as he started to grow accustomed to London life, he began to understand the English. 'I saw the goodness in people. And I was hearing about things like divorce, which didn't happen in Ireland – people suffered each other. I was amazed to hear that parents could still be friends despite it. It was a great revelation.' Hinds doesn't live in Northern Ireland. He has a home in London and one in Paris, in the shadow of the Père Lachaise cemetery, which he shares with his French-Vietnamese wife, actress Hélène Patarot (their daughter, Aoife, is also an actress and appears in the Dune: Prophecy series on Sky). His home in the French capital represents relaxation. 'You know when you go home at the end of the day and just want to put the kettle on? That's what I do when I get to Paris. You know, I have a box of Barry's tea bags. I don't do the cafe life that you should do in Paris, but it's because I live there.' Hinds is relaxed and charming company, yet there is still a residual sense of the 1970s firebrand. When we talk about returning to the country of his birth, he does not rule it out, cheered by what he sees as its evolution. 'I see a lot of changes, in both north and south. I go back a couple times a year to see family, and thank God, it's just a lot more open,' he says. 'I mean, there's still too many flags, and there is still the dark underbelly, but at least it's contained.' It is clear that coming of age during the Troubles (he starred in Kenneth Branagh's award-winning Belfast and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor) have left their mark on Hinds. Raised as a Catholic, he tells me he was fortunate enough to do dance and drama out of school where there were no religious boundaries. Yet he also had to endure a segregated education system, and today supports the Integrated Education Foundation charity. 'It's so important that you don't separate Catholic and Protestant kids at the age of four and educate them separately, filling them with versions of 'them' and 'us'. I think [integration] has been happening – very slowly – over the last 30 or 40 years, but it'll take generations to really happen. 'A positive move to integrated education doesn't mean to say that you can't have religion.' It's strange to consider that Hinds has been on our screens for half a century. (He thinks so too: 'God, have I? I haven't been counting!') But then his career has been a slow burn, gradually building up credits in the 1980s in high-profile films such as John Boorman's Excalibur, as well as some meaty theatre (notably Peter Brook's celebrated 1987 staging of The Mahabharata). Today, he is one of a small selection of actors who carry weight in big-budget blockbusters (Frozen, Justice League, Game of Thrones) and high-end passion projects such as a Broadway revival of The Crucible opposite Saoirse Ronan and Ben Whishaw. His performances are all, however, marked by a thoughtfulness, his characters always rooted in a psychological reality. Hinds will soon be seen in a new adaptation of John Steinbeck's East Of Eden for Netflix. I wonder if quality roles such as this are getting harder to come by. 'I think there are still roles out there,' he says carefully. 'It depends on how you look at things. 'If you set your sights high about what your pay grade is or who you expect to be working with, that then obviously narrows your choices and closes doors. 'Things have changed since the big corporates have come in, you know, Netflix and Amazon and Apple,' he says, alluding to the amount of money such companies have at their disposal. 'But it's not about the amount of money they need, because usually they can make them on relatively sane budgets, it's about how much you need to tell the story with authenticity and truth, as opposed to what we made with these special effects. Much of the cinematic universe is turning into one big PlayStation.' Hinds does, however, feel optimistic for the future. 'There will always be space for storytellers and great filmmaking. Maybe the adventure is still on.'

Zara Tindall shows off trim physique as she she cosies up to husband Mike in 'unforgettable' trip to Australia
Zara Tindall showed off her trim physique as she cosied up to her husband Mike on a trip to the Great Barrier Reef this week. The daughter of Princess Anne, 44, and Mike Tindall, 46, have spent a few days on Hamilton Island in Queensland, Australia, where they headed out to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park for the first time. In a photograph from the 'unforgettable' trip, Zara showed off her svelte figure in a basic white tank top and linen cream shorts. She completed her outfit with a casual cap to shade her face from the sun, and accessorised with a thin, dark brown belt. Meanwhile, former rugby union player Mike opted for a pair of bold, light pink shorts with a postcard pattern, paired with a simple white Byron Bay T-shirt. He too wore a baseball cap - but in a bright orange and black design. Sharing a selection of images from their trip to Hamilton Island, Mike said: 'We had the chance to spend a few days on Hamilton Island this week - despite all the times we have been to Australia we have never been here before and it's been amazing. 'It's our first time being out on the water in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park too and it really was unreal, Queensland definitely has it all. 'Made some incredible memories. 'What an unforgettable way to spend some down time.' It comes after Zara and Mike attended the 2025 State of Origin decider in Australia, where the mother-of-three previously dubbed her 'home away from home'. Former rugby union player Mike shared a glimpse of the fun at Sydney 's Accor Stadium on Instagram last Saturday, marvelling over the rugby game's 'incredible atmosphere' that saw Queensland 's victory over New South Wales. Princess Anne 's daughter looked radiant in the sweet selfie shared by her husband, and she ditched her usual formal clothes for casual attire, including a rugby merchandise scarf. While Zara's family members have been enjoying a spot of tennis in London 's balmy temperatures at Wimbledon, she wrapped up warm in a jumper and scarf to protect herself against Sydney's winter chill. After being spotted cheering on from the sidelines by Australian TV channel Nine, Mike, dressed in jeans and a black jacket, and Zara posed on the pitch after the game on Wednesday. Mike and Zara, who are parents to their three children, Mia, Lena, and Lucas, attended the event as guests of Maroons coach Billy Slater's wife, Nicole Slater. The pair are understood to be good friends with Maroons boss Slater, after they crossed paths at a polo event in Queensland back in January 2024. Slater teamed up with Mike and Australian polo star, Ruki Ballieau, for the celebrity polo match at the Magic Millions Showjumping and Polo Day last year.

‘One last nervous wee and bam!': what it's like winning Mastermind Australia
'Sure, happy to help' is probably my most frequent utterance and is responsible for a lot of good trouble in my life. It's how I met my wife, landed my dream job and ended up as this season's champion of Australia's toughest quizshow, Mastermind. I've been fortunate enough to work at AFTRS, the Australian Film Television and Radio School, for the last seven years. One of my former students, Beatrice, emailed to ask if I'd share a casting call for Mastermind Australia with everyone at work. But when I did, I was surprised to see the smartest and most eloquent people I know respond with a flicker of panic – as though they were already in the chair – followed by a polite 'no'. As a recovering people-pleaser, I put in an application myself. And a few weeks later, after a trivia test where I scored a paltry six out of 10, I got the call. I was in. For those unfamiliar with Mastermind Australia, four contenders each face a two-minute round of questions on a specialist subject of their choosing, then 90 seconds of general knowledge. The winner progresses to the weekly final, where they face a two-minute general knowledge round, then a round called the Slow Burn, during which the contenders are given 10 clues to identify something in a specific category, such as books, food, landmarks, inventions; the fewer clues you need, the more points you get for a correct answer. The winner of that weekly final then progresses to a semi-final with new specialist subject and general knowledge rounds. The four semi-final winners then compete in the grand final with a third specialist subject, a Slow Burn round and a general knowledge round. Across 85 episodes, that's 240 contestants competing for one trophy. My top picks for my specialist subjects – Golden Age Simpsons (seasons four to 10, fight me) and the Game of Thrones novels – were too popular. Instead, the producers seized on my third choice: the Jack Parlabane novels by Scottish crime author Christopher Brookmyre. For a show where Welsh narrow-gauge railways was once a subject, my fears this choice was too niche were unfounded. Rereading the nine Parlabane novels was a joy, but this time I was on the lookout for anything that might make an interesting trivia question. For example, a major reveal in Country of the Blind involves the song Arena; I had a hunch it might come up, but couldn't recall the band (Skids). Sure enough, it did – but thankfully it was the song title they were after. To memorise publication dates, I linked each book to where I was in life when I read it. For example, Dead Girl Walking came out in 2015, when I was in a long-distance relationship and working a job I hated. Contestants are given a source material list to prepare from, but it's still unnerving to publicly declare yourself an expert in something, only to have a professional quiz writer say, 'Oh really? Hold my beer.' Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning Trivia is one of the few socially acceptable ways to be an insufferable know-it-all, and I've always been blessed with a good memory, so I didn't overly prepare for general knowledge; I played a few Identify This Flag-type quiz games and looked up who's on the $50 note. I focused instead on what I could control: my specialist subject. When filming day arrived, I was more nervous about letting Beatrice down than anything else. I had a very pleasant chat with the other contenders in the green room, though I could sense the crew had been directed not to make any sudden movements, lest they rattle some already rattled people. One last nervous wee and bam! I'm under the lights and first up. Turns out that someone writing quiz questions just for me is my love language. I hit what I imagine is flow state (possibly dissociation) before … Beep-beep-beep. No passes. All correct. Fourteen points. I needed five correct answers in general knowledge to win the episode and managed six, taking me straight to the weekly final. Until I saw the episode weeks later, I couldn't tell you a single one of the questions. I was thrilled to come back as a finalist and, when I did, I was more shocked than anyone to nail my general knowledge round, scoring 14 before we even got to the Slow Burn. Correctly identifying 'cringe' as both a genre of comedy and a word that you can remove a letter from to become an anagram of 'nicer' won me a slot in the semi-final. Now I needed to pick (and study simultaneously) two new specialist subjects. The semi-final was surprisingly the most nerve-racking, as my motivation wasn't 'win a quizshow', but 'please let me play one more time'. If I didn't nail the movies of Kevin Smith, one of my new subjects, I'd never get to the Preacher comics of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, my grand final specialist subject. Sign up to Saved for Later Catch up on the fun stuff with Guardian Australia's culture and lifestyle rundown of pop culture, trends and tips after newsletter promotion Sixteen points was my reward for a gloriously misspent youth behind the counter at Video Ezy in Crows Nest. To say Kevin Smith was influential on my life is akin to saying Quentin Tarantino likes feet – correct, but woefully understated. Revisiting his films took me back to what made me want to make movies in the first place. I only got one answer wrong, which felt like a fitting tribute to one of my heroes. I held my nerve – again, I have no memory of the questions asked – and earned enough points in my general knowledge round to advance to the grand final. They sat my family directly behind the host Marc Fennell. No pressure. For the grand final, I'd taken care to study issue titles, forewords and publication dates, not just plot and character, which was vindicated mightily when I was asked, 'What kind of animal is Charlie?' Answer: he is Ennis's (fictional) pet mongoose. Beep-beep-beep. A perfect round and another 16 points. My fellow finalist Laura crushed it with 14 correct answers about the BBC production of Pride and Prejudice and Simone nailed her round on the movies of Matthew McConaughey with 14 points. Steve didn't do as well on the speeches of JFK – but everything can change with Slow Burn. I had the last choice and ended up with 'Franchise' as my Slow Burn category. The answer is invariably something you have at least heard of; however, the clues to get you there start very obscure. Consequently, I needed six clues to get Star Wars, putting me equal to Simone and Laura with 20 points each going into the final general knowledge round. Laura pulled off impressive nine correct answers, so the pressure was on. I know at least one answer was Florence, as my father barely resisted heckling when I got it wrong, but otherwise it was a total blur. Once I returned to Earth, I learned that I was two points ahead with 11 correct answers. Marc asked me how I felt about Simone going next and I said, 'well, she's very impressive'. Someone in the audience laughed. My wife told me later that it had sounded like I had arrogantly said 'that's very impressive' of my own score. Trash talk is definitively not my style and certainly not very Mastermind. I distinctly remember thinking, 'you might have this' for the first time in the whole competition, but I was terrified of getting ahead of myself. Within seconds of meeting in the green room, Simone, Laura, Steve and I had bonded over this very unique shared experience we were all having. All of us said that by now we really didn't care who won. As I watched Simone's score grow, I couldn't concentrate enough to count her correct answers as I was cheering her on in my head. Beep-beep-beep. Nine points for Simone. Tears sprang to my eyes and my ears started ringing. In a daze I stood up as confetti cannon went off and I was handed the bowl I had seen on TV for years. There are fewer Mastermind Australia winners in the world than people who have walked on the moon – which, come to think of it, is a great trivia question. My win hasn't really sunk in yet, I think due to a combination of impostor syndrome and sheer disbelief that I even ended up on a quizshow. The whole experience has reinforced for me how important it is to be curious and to love things. My fellow grand finalists had such generosity of spirit and an infectious enthusiasm – they seem like people who say 'sure, happy to help' a lot too. Mastermind Australia is on SBS and SBS OnDemand
