It isn’t clear whether Thomson is leaving the role of Kirby in Home and Away or just taking a break to appear in the theatre production.

Kirby arrived in Summer Bay in 2022 with her band Lyrik, in which she played the keyboards.

Other members of the group included Eden Fowler, Remi Carter and new lead singer Theo Poulos, with Theo and Kirby starting a relationship soon after.

Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.45pm on Channel 5, with repeat screenings at 6pm on 5STAR and first-look screenings at 6.30pm on 5STAR. Selected classic episodes are available via Prime Video in the UK.

In Australia, the show airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 and streams on 7Plus.
