Kate Ritchie has teased a return to Home and Away sixteen years after leaving the long-running Channel Seven soap.
Radio star Nova, 46, hinted that her character Sally Fletcher, who she played for twenty years from 1988 to 2008, could make a surprise return.
She revealed that producers have already been in contact with her several times trying to prepare her for a comeback, but teased that she hasn’t closed the door on the soap opera.
‘(The producers) have stopped calling, but they have told me that the door is always open,’ he told Herald of the sun.
“The idea of going back there and seeing everyone and working with all those actors again is not something I wouldn’t want to do, it’s just whether it makes sense anymore.”
Kate added that she wasn’t sure if her character would fit in with Summer Bay’s newest residents or if she would still connect with viewers.
‘Of all the new viewers they have, half of them wouldn’t know who Sally is. “I have a lot of work ahead of me, fatherhood and life in general, let alone leaving another job,” he added.
Kate was just eight years old when she rose to fame in 1988, playing Sally Fletcher in the long-running soap opera Home and Away.

He starred on the show for 20 years and has since admitted that he found it difficult to find his own identity outside of his beloved character.
Despite winning two Gold Logies while on the show, Kate previously said she still questioned her own worth.
“People wanted to meet me because of Sally, or I won awards because of Sally, or I got invited to big events,” Kate told Stellar in December 2017.
“When you can’t remember your life without him and suddenly that thing doesn’t exist anymore, you ask yourself, ‘What is it that I find attractive?'”
Kate eventually sought therapy to cope with the issues, telling TV Week in March 2021: “It really felt like the loss of a big part of who I was.”
