Acting Forever: Lynne McGranger’s Eternal Soap Opera Curse
Lynne McGranger just snagged the Gold Logie after 32 years of being TV's very own home fixture, playing Irene Roberts on 'Home and Away.' No pressure, but she beat out fresh faces as the 'most popular personality' on Aussie telly. As reported, McGranger 'ends her record 32-year run'—which sounds less like an award and more like a life sentence. Meanwhile, Fisk dominated elsewhere and Guy Montgomery was named best newcomer, proving that new blood only exists to remind us how long some have been stuck in reruns.

Lynne McGranger winning a Gold Logie after 32 years is proof that the real winner in TV is immortality — welcome to Australian soap operas, where the only thing that dies is your attention span.
32 years playing the same role? At this point, Lynne’s character probably sends her scripts with a stern 'Do it again but quieter' memo.
Watching 'Home and Away' is a masterclass in commitment: you either grow old with Irene Roberts or learn what instant regret feels like.
