It appears Home and Away is losing yet another beloved character, leading fans to wonder whether it may be the next soapie to leave screens.
After news broke that Juliet Godwin is saying goodbye to the beloved Aussie series, rumours are circulating that another cast member is eyeing the door.
According to reports, Matt Evans, who plays Theo Poulos in the series, is set to leave Summer Bay.
Matt, 28, has been a regular feature on the show for three and a half years, which is longer than the usual three-year contract most stars are said to start on.
However, despite being seen on set in Palm Beach in April, the star recently underwent a massive hair transformation, leading fans to believe that he’s not returning to the series.

On long-running shows, stars are often not allowed to drastically change their appearance, hence the speculation over Matt’s spot on Home and Away.
The actor revealed his new look on Instagram in a slew of pictures which showed him ditching his long locks for a shorter hairdo.
‘Baby I’m back, @sofia_salonher nailed it,’ Matt captioned the post, which showed him post-chop.
The hair stylist also shared a picture of his fresh cut, adding that she was getting him ‘LA ready’ – another sign that Matt may be leaving the soap and eyeing up opportunities abroad.
Fans were quick to question Matt’s career future in the comments section.
‘Really suits you! I love it! But I hope this doesn’t mean the end of Theo on Home and Away? Just a theory, but usually cast aren’t allowed drastic appearance changes whilst filming,’ one person wrote.
Another person asked: ‘Will you still be on HAA (Home and Away) with this look?’
‘Isn’t his three-year contract up?’ one person questioned.
