Home and Away's Emily Weir and Tim Franklin reunite: 'Bring him back'

Fans are desperate for Tim Franklin's character Colby to return.

Home and Away fans were devastated when Colby Thorne, played by Tim Franklin, departed the soap in February 2021. Many hold out hope that the cop will make a return one day, as his character is still alive and serving time in prison for killing his abusive stepfather Ross Nixon.

The star’s next role sees Tim play a police officer in the Paramount+ series Last King of the Cross, alongside fellow Home and Away alumni Lincoln Younes. The first episode was released on Friday, and he reunited with a special friend during the premiere.

Emily Weir, who plays Mackenzie Booth, went to the Paramount+ event to support Tim. The brunette looked gorgeous, wearing a slinky brown high-waisted skirt and matching top.

She kept her straight locks loose and completed her outfit with a pair of silver stilettos with a stripe detail.

After seeing photos from the premiere, fans begged Home and Away producers to bring Colby back to Summer Bay.

“They should never got rid of Colby’s character, he was a great character, they made him bad. Hope they get a few others out of the show and bring Colby back as a nice character,” another added.
