There is nothing official of course, but there is strong speculation around that Lucas/Ryder has filmed his final scenes (& will leave perhaps around May at Aust pace?). This speculation started late last year when Georgie Parker (Roo) posted on-set photos on instagram of what potentially could be a farewell party for Ryder in Summer Bay House, with the room full of balloons & a banner saying 'Bon Voyage'. She also posted another on-set photo of her embracing Lucas/Ryder. So Ryder may finally be off travelling...
