After playing the role for the last three years fans watched Xanthe say goodbye to Ramsay Street to study medicine in Toowoomba, Queensland.
Writing on Instagram, the actor wrote: “WOW, I don’t even know where to begin.
“Every day for the past three years, I’ve been lucky enough to walk into work and make art. To work alongside the most hard-working crew in the business.
“I want to thank all the crew, cast, producers, directors, MAKEUP & COSTUME departments and all of the amazing people I get to call family.”
