Tonight’s Home and Away in Australia saw Rose Delaney say goodbye to Summer Bay, as Kirsty Marillier’s final scenes aired.

After just shy of three years in Summer Bay, tonight’s Australian episode saw Rose Delaney leave for a new job in the city, marking Kirsty Marillier’s final scenes on Home and Away.

Her exit comes four months after her brother Xander’s (Luke Van Os) departure, with Xander’s move to Melbourne prompting Rose to make big decision of her own.

Last November, Xander left Summer Bay for Melbourne, after securing himself a six-week placement in the city as part of his business internship.

Although Xander assured Mackenzie (Emily Weir) and Dana (Ally Harris) that he would soon be back in Summer Bay, he ended up being offered a permanent position in the Victorian city, and opted to stay in Melbourne.

Rose told Dana that she was devastated that Xander had made the decision to move on without consulting her, considering they’d made the move to Summer Bay together.

Rose and Xander arrived in the bay within days of each other, back in late March 2022, as they tracked down Jasmine Delaney (Sam Frost), who was Xander’s half-sister, and Rose’s step-sister.

Jasmine’s dad had put her into foster care after the death of her mum, and Xander and Rose only discovered Jasmine’s existence after their dad Alexander Snr had passed away.

Jasmine left Summer Bay shortly after, to look after late husband Robbo’s (Jake Ryan) mother Wendy (Amanda Muggleton) and father Ian (Frankie J Holden).

Rose and Xander opted to remain in the bay without their long-lost sister, and soon settled into their lives in the bay.

After Xander’s exit, Dana asked Rose if she was considering leaving Summer Bay for Melbourne herself, but she explained that she hadn’t yet made a decision.

However, shortly after, she revealed to ex-boyfriend Mali (Kyle Shilling) that she was going to embrace Xander’s decision and make a big move of her own, by applying to become a detective.
