Home and Away stars Emily Weir and Tristan Gorey have made the bombshell admission they considered leaving the series following a recent shock death on the show.
The pair play lovebirds Mackenzie and Levi on the series, and admitted they were affected by the recent character death of Felicity Newman, played by Jacqui Purvis.
‘I don’t ever want Mackenzie to die. I want her to leave the Bay, so there’s always a place where I can come back to,’ Emily, 33, told Yahoo Lifestyle.
The brunette bombshell added if her character had to die she would like it to be in a very dramatic and memorable manner.
‘If I had to, I’d love to be in a gunfight or something really left of field. Really do some martial arts, like a fight scene or something.’
Tristan, 29, added he would like his honourable character to take a villainous turn shortly before his on-screen death.
‘I feel like Dr Levi should turn bad and then he’s chasing after Mackenzie and she’s running away, and then he just trips and falls and hits his head,’ he joked.
Last month, fans were left devastated when fan-favourite character Felicity Newman, played by Jacqui Purvis, collapsed in shock scenes.

In the clip which had fans in tears, Felicity suddenly fell to the ground when her vision went blurry during an emotional conversation with ex-husband Tane Parata.
The character was then rushed to hospital in critical condition, as promos confirmed she will die and actress Jacqui will move on from Summer Bay.
‘One of the best actresses Home and Away has ever had,’ one Instagram user said of Jacqui, 33, who has been on the Channel Seven soap drama for three years.
The soap star recently reflected about her stint on the show with Yahoo Lifestyle: ‘I’ve had an incredible time on the show. Some of the best years of my life.
‘However, I knew I wanted an international career, so, I had to make the decision to leave and take the plunge.
‘I owe so much to the show, [and] because of it, I feel confident and ready to take on the international stage.’
Australian actress Jacqui is known for her roles in Home and Away, Neighbours, A Lion Returns, and Undertow, but wishes to make it big in Hollywood.
She intends to jet off to Hollywood soon in pursuit of worldwide fame, following in the footsteps of ex-soap stars Chris Hemsworth, Isla Fisher and Samara Weaving.
