Home and Away fans slam Irene Roberts' final scenes as Lynne McGranger leaves the soap after 33 years: 'Ruined her legacy'

 Home and Away said goodbye to one of the show's most beloved characters on Tuesday night. 

Irene Roberts, played by Lynne McGranger, headed off to see the world in emotional scenes, after learning that she has Alzheimer's disease. 

As Irene headed off to see Europe before her illness gets the best of her, many viewers tuning in were moved - but others felt the episode fell short. 

The chief complaint made by fans of the show was the lack of old cast members showing up to see Irene off - with some pointing out that even the current cast was oddly absent from the emotional final scenes. 

'Would have been nice to have some flashbacks as she was leaving or some old faces to send her off felt a little off that the whole cast wasn't there,' wrote one person on X. 

'Those cast members who didn't show up to Irene's farewell, shame shame,' said another.

One more chimed in: 'They seriously couldn't even get all the current main cast in let alone previous characters. Low key a bit s**t.'

'Where the f**k is the rest of the bay?! Surely not working!' wrote someone else.

'Not bringing back ANY old faces ruins the legacy of Irene and taints her exit forever. Well f**king done,' one more complained. 

'Why is only like two per cent of the cast there at Irene's farewell? Like where's Cash, Tane, Mackenzie?' someone else chimed in. 

'What a terrible send off for Irene! Lots of randoms, why didn't they bring back some old familiar faces!' one fan wrote. 

'I'm digging this party send off vibe for Irene, but why the random extras at an intimate gathering?' someone else said.  

Others were unimpressed by Irene's send-off in general. 

'Well, that was.. underwhelming,' said one, with another posting, 'Did they really just send Irene (who has Alzheimer's) on Home And Away off travelling around the world?
