Home and Away star Demi Harman has spoken about her exit from the show, insisting that it was the "right time" to bow out from her role as Sasha Bezmel.
The actress has already filmed her final scenes for the Summer Bay soap but will remain on screen until next year.
Discussing her exit, Harman told TV Week: "I was crying leading up to filming it. It's sad saying goodbye to something after three and a half years when that's all you've done."
The 21-year-old added that she always knew she would be leaving Home and Away at the end of her contract.
She explained: "I want to make that clear. A lot of people have been saying I wanted to leave the show. But I knew I'd be leaving. My contract was up.
"The time was right, because things felt right with Sasha, my character. I really cared about her."
