Home and Away fans can rest easy as star Ethan Browne seems to have shut down rumours surrounding his possible exit.
In a new interview, Brown, who plays Tane Parata on the Aussie soap, has joked he’ll work there “forever”.
“No, I dunno,” he told Yahoo! Lifestyle, adding: “Got a few more years left in me I think.”
“So, it’s really simply that, like some of you, I assume, I’m exhausted and could use a brief break to reenergize myself and my family. As we near the end of the year, the Nova CEOs that I spoke with kindly agreed that now would be a good time to take a break.
Although this seems to put any doubts to rest regarding Tane’s potential retirement, Browne could also be aiming to mislead followers about an impending departure. Regardless, only time will tell.
For the time being, Tane is still very much a member of the Summer Bay gang, and Browne has hinted at what might be in store for his persona.
The personal trainer and Felicity Newman (Jacqui Purvis) are now arranging their wedding.
Browne said fans should expect a “storm”, hinting at the relationship not being smooth sailing.
“There’s gonna be a bit of a storm, and it’s gonna come good again,” he said.
“So it looks like [everything] is good… [but] usually when something’s going good, it’s going to turn bad, that’s the usual thing on Home and Away.
“It’s gonna come right, that’s all I will say.”
