fans are in mourning over the departure of Jacqui Purvis, aka Felicity Newman from the show, after Felicity collapsed during Monday night's episode with the promo showing she isn't going to wake up. Felicity has been a fan favourite character since she arrived in the Bay three years ago as the unpredictable and erratic younger sister of police officer Cash Newman. Over the years, despite all the drama Summer Bay threw her way, she persevered, went into business with Mackenzie Booth, and of course had one of the best Summer Bay love stories of recent years with Tane Parata, despite the two ending their marriage earlier this year.
In Monday's episode, spirits were high as Felicity pulled off a surprise engagement party for her brother and his new fiancée Eden Fowler. But it was later at Salt, when only a few people remained kicking on that Flick's vision got blurry . The promo for upcoming episodes show Cash and Tane by Felicity's bedside, with Tane encouraging Cash to eventually turn off her life support.
The show hasn't confirmed yet what caused the collapse, but it's assumed it'll be revealed in tonight's episode. "I’m going to miss her. She was the right mix of beautiful, cheeky, annoying, smart, vulnerable, loving, caring and painful all rolled into one.
Good luck on whatever you do next. Hoping to see you back on a screen soon," another fan said. "She is a great actress and played her part very well," another agreed.
"This is so sad...
I'm in tears watching it," someo.
