In their final episode- to screen on Tuesday, March 18, the gang from All Saints Western General bids a fond farewell to the couple at Mitch and Terri's house.
Bron and Ben are happy to make a fresh start, but Mitch (Erik Thompson) takes their departure badly. he hates farewells and doesn't know how he will cope with the loss of two of his friends and colleagues.
He's not the only one, either. All Saints fans are sure to be shattered. Since they arrived at Ward 17 in 1998, Ben and Bron have become firm favorites with viewers. When the couple wed last month, the episode was one of the most watched in the show's successful history.
For real- life couple Libby tanner & Brian Vriends, playing on-screen lovers has been a dream.
"I can't deny it- it's great working with Brian," Libby said recently. "It's just so easy. I never get nervous with him because I know him so well. We have so much fun together."
She and Brian have enjoyed 4 happy years in the show, but it's time to take the next bold step.
"its very scary" Libby admits, 'There is no security blanket".
They plan to spend some more time with their baby daughter Edie and pursue other acting opportunities. Could Hollywood beckon?
"not just yet", Libby says, "If I did go it would have to be on the back of a great Australian film"
