Alf Stewart isn't going anywhere!

Rebecca McKnight

Ray Meagher has revealed that he has no plans to leave Home and Away.

The soap legend is the longest-serving cast member, having been on the show since it began in 1988, and plans to continue for as long as he can.

He told The Advertiser: “I’m still upright, I’ve still got a pulse and I still enjoy it more than 90 per cent of the time I am there. The new kids coming through keep it fresh.

“My current contract has a couple of years to go. I’m sure if I turned up at Channel Nine three or four days a week and they had to point me to Channel Seven, they’d probably say I’d had enough.”

The 71-year-old added: “As a job for an actor, I am so grateful for it. I’ve got no plans to leave unless something really unforeseen happens.”
