Home and Away series producer shares warning to fans ahead of tragic episode

Ahead of what is set to be a very dramatic and heartbreaking week on Home and Away, series producer Lucy Addario has warned fans to "make sure your tissue box is close by" with a series regular exiting the show on tonight's episode by going to the other side. And no, we don't mean Mangrove River.

For weeks, the build-up to a fan favourite character's death has been gripping Home and Away fans, with everyone 99.9% certain the person we're saying goodbye to his Felicity Newman, played by Jacqui Purvis.

The death of Flick will take place tonight on Channel 7 and 7plus, at 7pm and ahead of the emotional (and no doubt very dramatic) goodbye, Lucy has said the episode will be absolutely "massive".

In an interview with 7NEWS.com.au, Lucy said, “Tonight is a massive episode of Home and Away. I promise you won’t want to miss this one!" before going on to say, "Cash and Eden’s magical surprise engagement party on the beach will see a big number of our Summer Bay favourites coming together to celebrate the joy.”

YEAH, WELL SOUNDS LIKE THE JOY WILL BE SHORT-LIVED, WON'T IT LUCY?!

Sorry, sorry, I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.

Other that the looming threat of Flick's death, Eden and Levi's little sister Abigail will be rocking up in the Bay to bring her family back together again. “Her surprise arrival will ignite a huge storyline for the Fowler siblings,” Lucy said. "There’s a lot going on at this party … from every angle. And then to top it all off, tragedy will strike with the life of one of our most beloved characters on the line."

Home and Away fans' convincing theory on how main character will die

Last week, Home and Away fans started speculating about Felicity's untimely end, with one in particular having a very compelling theory.

"They meant to shoot at Cash and kill him but instead they miss and shoot Felicity. This all happens at Eden’s and Cash’s engagement party next Monday (12th of August) leading into Tuesday!"

No offence, I wish they got Cash. Eden needs his life savings to continue living in Summer Bay without a job. Haha, just kidding Cash and Eden, if you're reading this.

Also, two shootings in Summer Bay this year? What is this, America?

Fans have been pretty devastated that Jacqui/Felicity is set to leave the Bay, with some saying she's the best actor on the show.

"Flick, I know it’s acting but please don’t die because I will never get over that grief. Find another way of leaving the show," one fan begged, while in huge accolades, someone else commented, "All the best you have been the best actress on the show ever."

Jacqui Purvis teases character's death

Way back in 2022, when we were all young and naive, Jacqui told Yahoo Lifestyle that she wanted Felicity's exit to be 'dramatic'.

"I want to be killed off, I want a really dramatic death, like a really intense, gory, everyone's crying," she said. "And yep, death, die!"

Well. I guess that's that. Unless they reincarnate Felicity through the womb of Harper? Then Tane will raise her? That'd be pretty f***ed up, but free idea H&A writers.

See you tomorrow, I'll be writing about Home and Away again with several tissues wadded up my nose and a new haul of trust issues to yell at my therapist about.
