Being Sally & beyond

KATE RITCHIE REVEALS HOW PLAYING SALLY FLETCHER CHANGED HER LIFE – AND ULTIMATELY LET HER RECLAIM IT

When she was just 8, Kate Ritchie’s fate was decided when she landed the role of Sally Fletcher in Home and Away. From that point on, the actress would be forever linked with her on-screen character, whom she would play to acclaim for more than two decades.

“I will always feel attached to Home and Away,” the 42-year-old told TV WEEK in their Home and Away special collector’s edition (see bubble). “How could I not? It trained and nurtured me. It offered me some of the most wonderful years of my life and, for a long time, defined who I was.”
