'Home and Away' actress Jess Tovey has said that filming her final scenes for the soap was "heartbreaking".
Spoiler alert: This story contains upcoming plot details.
The 21-year-old star, who plays Belle Taylor in the show, told TV Week that it was difficult to say goodbye to her co-stars on the soap.
Tovey said: "My last scene with Todd (who plays Aden) was just heartbreaking. I had my eyes closed and he was holding me really tight."
"When they called out, 'Cut!' I flung my arms around his neck and we just hugged for ages."
"My last scene with Lynne McGranger, where Belle is thanking Irene, mirrored everything I felt about Lynne."
"But one of the hardest goodbyes was with Charlotte Best (Annie Campbell). She's like my little sister and we were both sobbing."
Tovey also revealed that her character will be killed off, saying: "As much as having the option to come back would have been a nice safety net, it was really challenging to have such emotional scenes to play."
"I couldn't have done that if Belle had just gone off to the city. By killing her off, I got to say goodbye properly."
