Chris redeemed himself in my eyes when he framed Billie to help out Dr Nate Cooper. He may not be one of my favourite characters in H&A, but I don`t dislike him as much as I used to. Whatever faults Chris has, loyalty to his friends is not one of them. Its quite admirable.
I will definitely feel sorry for him though when Hannah dumps him for Andy Barrett. Or maybe he dumps her to save face. Whichever way it goes, he will be very hurt.
Maybe he can lust over Charlotte next. Oh wait.....

Chris deserves a nice girlfriend who'll take him seriously and won't dump him for someone else after five minutes.

A Shock Departure Announced!
After a spate of rumoured departures, the Seven Network has announced a departure, completely out of left field, that will see a fan favourite say goodbye to the Bay.
Chris Harrington to Leave Summer Bay!
After confirming the departures of Ricky Sharpe and Andy Barrett, the Seven Network has shocked viewers by announcing that Johnny Ruffo has left his role as cheeky Diner waiter, Chris Harrington.
The singer-turned-actor, much adored by fans of Home and Away, confirmed in December 2015 that he had renewed his contract with the long running soap, telling TV Week, “I’m loving it – and, who knows? I might be the new Irene or Alf. I don’t mind getting about it in a hat and telling everyone off.”
Despite these claims, the Seven Network announced the character’s departure this afternoon and confirmed that Johnny Ruffo would be moving onto other projects, whilst remaining onscreen for some months.
The unexpected news comes after rumours that characters including Maddy Osborne, Josh Barrett, Hannah Wilson and Oscar MacGuire were leaving the show, with the latter two rumoured to be killed in the series’ upcoming explosion storyline.
Johnny was introduced into the series in April 2013 as the older brother of runaway Spencer Harrington as a guest character, but returned in August as a main character. In his three-and-a-half years playing the lovable larrikin, Chris Harrington, he has been involved in several big storylines including a hostage situation, an accidental poisoning of Diner-goers including Alf and Leah and several romance storylines alongside Denny Miller, which resulted in a love triangle with Casey Braxton, and, currently, Hannah Wilson.
Back to the Bay would like to wish Johnny the best of luck in the future.

Oh no, I love Chris! I'll really miss his scenes with John and Irene

I'm gonna miss him too! I didn't really like him in the beginning, but now he's one of my favourites.
It seems like so many characters have left/are leaving the show...

He has got a good heart even if he makes mistakes helping others

He's got a personality and is very endearing, whereas most of the younger characters in today's H&A are bland and interchangeable. I'm another one who will miss Chris.

I have a feeling that Johnny`s departure had something to do with his recent legal troubles (DUI).Which to me seems hypocritical if true because there were far worse characters going bad in the past....Martha being one. Maybe 'Martha' will clean up her act now she`s joined Neighbours. Perhaps Johnny will join Neighbours too at some point in the future.
H&A seems to be having a massive clearing out lately. Possibly to make way for the Morgan boys? I hope they won`t be Braxton clones....I couldn`t stand that.
