Shocking: Remi reveals the reason for leaving Home And Away in early 2026.
Shocking Exit: Adam Rowland Reveals Why He Is Leaving ‘Home and Away’ in Early 2026
In a move that has sent shockwaves through the Home and Away fandom, Adam Rowland, the actor who has brought the charismatic and often troubled Remi Carter to life since 2022, has officially confirmed his departure from the long-running Australian soap. Scheduled to exit Summer Bay in early 2026, Rowland has finally broken his silence on the personal and professional reasons behind his decision to hang up his guitar and leave the hit series.
The Rise of Remi Carter
Since his debut as a member of the band Lyrik, Remi Carter quickly became a fan favorite. Known for his “bad boy” charm, loyalty to his bandmates, and a series of high-stakes romantic entanglements—most notably his rollercoaster relationship with Bree Cameron—Remi has been at the center of some of the show’s most dramatic storylines. From surviving life-threatening accidents to navigating the complex world of the music industry, Rowland’s portrayal has earned him a dedicated following.
Why Now? The Reason for the Exit
According to recent reports and statements from the actor, the decision to leave was not made lightly. Rowland revealed that the primary driver behind his exit is a desire to pursue new creative challenges and expand his acting portfolio beyond the world of soap operas.
“I have had the most incredible few years in Summer Bay,” Rowland shared. “But as an actor, you always have that itch to see what else is out there. I feel like I’ve taken Remi on a massive journey, and I want to leave while the character is still at a high point.”
In addition to professional growth, Rowland hinted at the grueling schedule of filming a daily soap. With Home and Away producing episodes year-round, the pace can be exhausting. Rowland expressed a need for a “creative reset” and a desire to spend more time on personal projects and with family, something that the demanding filming schedule often makes difficult.
How Will Remi Leave?
While the exact details of Remi’s final scenes are being kept under tight wraps by Channel 7 producers, speculation is already reaching a fever pitch. Given his history with Lyrik, some fans believe he may head off on a solo music tour or reunite with former bandmates overseas. Others, however, fear a more tragic ending, noting that Summer Bay exits are rarely quiet.
The producers have promised a “fitting and emotional” tribute to the character, ensuring that Remi’s departure will leave a lasting impact on the residents of the Bay, particularly Bree and his Lyrik family.
A Bittersweet Farewell
The news has been met with a wave of support and sadness from fans on social media. Many have praised Rowland for his talent and the depth he brought to the character. His departure marks the end of an era for the Lyrik storyline, which has dominated much of the show’s musical and romantic drama over the past few seasons.
As early 2026 approaches, viewers are advised to keep their tissues handy. While Adam Rowland moves on to his next chapter—rumored to include potential roles in film or international television—Remi Carter’s legacy in Summer Bay is firmly cemented. One thing is certain: Summer Bay will be a lot quieter without the sound of Remi’s guitar.
