Home and Away's Ruby Buckton faced a heartbreaking decision as the soap returned to screens in Australia today (Monday).

Back in November, the show's 2011 season finale episode left Ruby's mother Charlie in a critical condition after she was shot twice by vengeful Jake Pirovic (Fletcher Humphrys).

Following weeks of speculation over the character's future, today's 2012 premiere saw Charlie rushed to hospital after she was found by her loved ones.

When Charlie's lover Brax (Steve Peacocke) discovered who was responsible for her injuries, he raced off for a dramatic showdown with villainous Jake.

However, Ruby stayed at the hospital and there was heartache in store for the student after Charlie returned from emergency surgery.

Local doctor Sid Walker (Robert Mammone) was forced to break the news to Ruby that Charlie was only being kept alive by a ventilator and, as there was nothing more that medics could do, she would never breathe on her own again.

As Charlie's next of kin, Ruby was then left with the decision over whether her life support should be turned off - which later plunged Brax into turmoil as he was determined not to give up on his girlfriend.

The drama will continue to play out in tomorrow's episode as Ruby was unable to make a decision straight away.

At the weekend, Esther Anderson - who plays Charlie - confirmed her departure from the soap. However, details of the character's final scenes have always been kept tightly under wraps.

Home and Away airs weekdays at 7pm on Network Seven in Australia and weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 in the UK.

Home and Away character Charlie Buckton has died in the latest episode to air in Australia.

Charlie passed away in hospital after her daughter Ruby (Rebecca Breeds) and lover Brax (Steve Peacocke) agreed that her ventilator should be turned off as there was nothing more that doctors could do for her.

The former police officer had been shot by vengeful Jake Pirovic (Fletcher Humphrys) in the soap's 2011 season finale, but firm details of her exit scenes had been kept under wraps until transmission.

Following advice from doctors, Ruby realised that it was time to let Charlie go as she was only being kept alive by a machine.

Bad boy Brax initially struggled to accept the teenager's decision, holing himself up in Charlie's hospital room with a gun so that she couldn't be taken away from him.

However, following some wise words from his younger brother Casey (Lincoln Younes), Brax finally saw sense and sat with Ruby as Charlie's life support was turned off.

Fans in Australia will see Charlie's funeral in the next episode to air on Network Seven.

Esther Anderson, who played the role of Charlie, filmed her final Home and Away scenes last August and is now hoping to secure work in LA.
