KATE RITCHIE 'It's REIGNITED SOMETHING IN ME'

THE STAR IS SET TO MAKE A TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO AUSSIE SCREENS

- Sara Tapia

It’s been almost a decade since Kate Ritchie last graced our TV screens, having called time on her 25-year run as Sally Fletcher on Home and Away back in 2013. However, the 44-year-old certainly hasn’t been twiddling her thumbs.

The past year especially has seen plenty of ups and downs for the star. Following a shock drink-driving charge last August, Ritchie entered a private mental health clinic a few months later to help treat her alcohol dependency. “It was a long time coming,” the beloved actress has said of seeking help. “I was fortunate to be able to take time. I gained clarity and that is why I feel so good about coming back now.”
