“She’s Back — And She’s Out for Blood”: Jacqui Purvis Set to Make Explosive Return to Home and Away
Hold on to your surfboards, Summer Bay fans — one of the show’s most iconic and fiery characters is heading back to shake things up like never before.
In a twist no one saw coming, actress Jacqui Purvis has officially confirmed she will be returning to Home and Away later this year — and she’s not coming back for a quiet reunion. This time, it’s personal. The beloved star, who played the bold and passionate Felicity Newman, teased that her character is “not the same woman” she once was and is returning to settle a score that’s been haunting her since the day she left.
While details remain tightly under wraps, insiders close to the production have revealed that Felicity’s return will centre on a high-stakes revenge plot involving a mysterious figure referred to only as “the final boss.” The cryptic title has already sparked a frenzy among fans online, with Reddit threads and fan theories spiralling out of control. Could this “boss” be a new villain — or someone Felicity once trusted?
Speaking in an exclusive interview, Purvis said, “This storyline is unlike anything we’ve done before. It’s darker. It’s dangerous. And it’s deeply personal for Flick.” When pressed for more details, she simply smiled and added, “Let’s just say: Summer Bay won’t know what hit it.”
It’s been nearly a year since Felicity left the Bay under tragic circumstances following a string of dramatic events, including the breakdown of her marriage and a harrowing personal betrayal. Her abrupt exit left viewers both heartbroken and suspicious — was her story really over?
Apparently not.
Producers are remaining tight-lipped, but one thing is certain: Felicity’s return won’t be a slow build. “She arrives with purpose, with fire — and with secrets,” a source from the set hinted. “She’s here to expose the truth, no matter the cost.”
The news has already reignited interest in Home and Away’s upcoming season, with many predicting this storyline could become one of the most gripping arcs in recent years. Some even speculate that “the final boss” storyline might tie together several unresolved mysteries — including the sudden disappearance of a fan-favourite character and the shadowy crime network that’s been hinted at in recent episodes.
Could Felicity be the one to finally bring justice to Summer Bay? Or will her thirst for revenge lead to her own downfall?
One thing’s for sure: when Jacqui Purvis steps back onto that beach, nothing — and no one — will be safe.
Set your reminders and get ready: Home and Away is about to enter its most thrilling chapter yet. And if you thought Felicity was done fighting… think again.
