The residents of Home and Away’s Summer Bay are about to face one of the most heartbreaking shake-ups in recent memory — because it’s now confirmed that Cohen’s departure is officially happening, and no one is more shattered than Roo Stewart.

Rumors have been swirling for weeks that actor Luca Cohen, who plays the charming but complicated newcomer, was preparing to leave the series. But now, insiders have confirmed what fans have feared all along — his final episodes have already been filmed. And according to a set insider, “It’s emotional. Everyone on set was in tears. Cohen’s exit isn’t just another goodbye — it’s going to break hearts.”

What makes this storyline even more painful is Roo’s involvement. After everything she’s endured this year — her health crisis, her emotional battles, and her constant search for peace — Roo had finally started to let her guard

 down again. Her growing bond with Cohen’s character brought her a spark she hadn’t felt in years. But now, it seems that very connection is what will destroy her emotionally.

Sources close to the production describe Roo’s upcoming scenes as “raw, honest, and devastating.” One insider hinted, “It’s one of the toughest storylines Georgie Parker [Roo] has had to play in a long time. You’ll see a different side of Roo — vulnerable, angry, and completely heartbroken.”

The question now haunting fans is why Cohen is leaving. There’s been no official statement from the actor himself, but speculation is running wild. Some claim the decision was written into the script months ago; others whisper about behind-the-scenes tensions or a surprising new role overseas. Whatever the truth, Home and Away executives are keeping their lips sealed — and that only adds fuel to the fire.

Meanwhile, social media has exploded with reactions. One fan wrote, “They can’t do this to Roo again! She deserves happiness!” Another commented, “If Cohen really leaves, I’m done watching. He was the only one bringing fresh energy.”

There’s talk that Cohen’s exit will lead to a major twist in Roo’s arc — possibly pushing her toward a darker path. After years of being the voice of reason in Summer Bay, could Roo finally reach her breaking point?

What we do know is this: Home and Away is about to deliver one of its most emotional and unforgettable farewells. Whether Cohen’s character leaves peacefully or in tragedy, his absence will leave a gaping hole in Summer Bay — and in Roo’s heart.

As one longtime crew member put it: “When he walked off set for the last time, you could feel the silence. Everyone knew something special was ending.”

So prepare your tissues, Home and Away fans — because the next few episodes will be ones you won’t forget. Why is Cohen really leaving — and how far will Roo fall after his exit? Don’t miss what happens next in Summer Bay.
