Olivia's Biggest Challenge

The Summer Bay Favourite Explains Why She Feels So Grateful to the Long-running Drama.

With more than 176,000 followers on social media, it’s clear 16-year-old Olivia Deeble – who plays Raffy Morrison on Home and Away – is one of our most popular stars.

Indeed, Olivia’s legion of fans were quick to shower the actress with messages of love when she recently revealed in a harrowing post on Instagram about an accident where she “hit my head”.

Shortly afterwards, the high-schooler updated her fans that she was “totally recovered now”, saying she “loved being back at work in the Bay”.

In a surreal twist of fate, however, Olivia’s real-life drama came as her Summer Bay character suffered a knock to the head in a freak tunnel collapse. And this week in the hit series, Raffy receives a life-changing diagnosis – she has epilepsy.

For Olivia, the emotionally charged storyline is undoubtedly one of the most important she has tackled and she felt great responsibility to do it justice.
