Neighbours fans have been expecting it for a while, especially after actress Carla Bonner posted a cryptic tweet hinting at Steph being phased off our screens.
But finally, Neighbours pictures confirm a bittersweet exit for the soap star after almost three years on Ramsay Street.
Of course, Steph was also a full time resident between the years of 1999 and 2010, so has been a long time favourite for dedicated fans. Her character has had huge positive impact over the years, most notably tackling hard storylines surrounding sexuality and mental health.

Viewers have seen Steph unhappy for a while now, mainly missing her two sons who live elsewhere – only to be made worse by being cheated on by ex-boyfriend Jack Callahan.
Last week on Neighbours, Steph announced that she wanted to move to Sydney to be closer to her son Adam but was distressed to realise she couldn’t finance a move right now. However, it turns out that she finds a way to make it work and finalises her plans to move soon. But, in a shock twist, Neighbours spoilers tease that Steph won’t be moving there alone.

Following recent drama at home in Fiji, Max Hoyland’s wife Philippa gives permission for Steph’s oldest son Charlie (Alexander McGuire) to move to Sydney with her for a while. This gives time for Max and Phillipa to repair their marriage and for Charlie to spend quality time with his mother.
But the surprises don’t stop there, in heart warming scenes Toadie flies in Steph’s youngest son Adam to join her and Charlie on their road trip up to Sydney.
Finally, with her two sons and feeling happier than ever, Steph bids an emotional farewell to Toadie and Sonya before heading off to start her new life in Sydney.
