Saying goodbye to the cast and crew http://au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/sunris...dded-video-top
Kate Ritchie has stated that she is open to the possibility of returning to Home and Away.
The 34-year-old actress, who left her famous role as Sally Fletcher in 2008 after 20 years, said that she would only agree to a comeback if offered a "great story".
She told TV Week: "If it was to happen it would have to be a great story - or the 100 year anniversary of the surf club!
"It's never been on the agenda, but Sally is only an airface away - who knows what the future holds?"
Of her decision to quit, Ritchie reflected: "It was the biggest decision I've made in my life. It happened at the right time and the actual decision came quite easily. It was 20 years and it just made sense that it was time to send Sally on her way."
Former series producer Cameron Welsh told Digital Spy in 2010 that "the door will always be open to Kate's return".
After leaving Home and Away, Ritchie won a lead part in Australian drama Cops L.A.C in 2008, but it only ran for one season.
She this year narrated the Aussie version of hit reality show format Don't Tell the Bride.

After a five-year break, however, the actress will begin filming again on the serial within the next few weeks, according to Channel Five.
Ritchie said of her return: "'There will be a wonderful sense of familiarity stepping back into Sally's shoes for a while.
"Summer Bay is a very different place these days, and I am looking forward to working with all the fresh faces that have continued to take Home and Away from strength to strength.
"It will be a good opportunity to catch up with some old mates too! Those cast and crew I worked with for so many years are who I have missed the most."
Series producer Lucy Addario added: "We are thrilled Kate is returning to Home and Away. Sally holds such a special place in the heart of the show, and we trust fans will be as excited as we are to watch her story unfold and follow Sally's journey again."
Ritchie's first scenes will be broadcast later in the year
That's great news
Brilliant news. I hope we get more returnees for the 25th anniversary. I would love to see Lance, Pippa, Steven, Don Fisher, and Carly come back too.

Home and Away star Kate Ritchie has admitted that her return to the Australian soap will be "daunting".
The actress begins filming her comeback scenes as Sally Fletcher next week, telling Sunrise that her character won't be returning simply for a "beach side holiday".
"I'm really excited about popping back for a while. It's nice to hear that people will be welcoming you back with open arms," she said.
"Of course there's a sense of familiarity, but I turn on Home and Away these days and there are so many faces that I haven't met before, so that's a little daunting but it's exciting.
"It'll be the same, but different. Home and Away keeps changing all the time and it's looking better all the time. I'll be learning a great deal this time around.
"I can't tell you too much, but no-one ever comes back to Summer Bay for a beach side holiday. There are many reasons why Sally is back.
"Thankfully I wasn't killed off so I don't have to emerge from the fridge. I feel excited to be able to come back and celebrate 25 years of Home and Away."
