Following recent reports about Chris Sadrinna (Brad) being axed from the show, both newspapers and forum members have been speculating about whether this will also bring about the departure of Kate Ritchie.
In another BTTB exclusive Bevan Lee has contacted us to say that Chris' departure will have no relevance to whether Kate continues on the show or not. Chris will leave the show three months before the end of Kate's current contract, so only time will tell whether Kate will choose to continue past this point.
However Bevan has hinted that Sally may indeed be the character that will be involved in the Season Cliffhanger, details of which were exclusively revealed to us last week:
"As is always the case with the show, characters come and go so that the central core group can have fresh stories. Brad was always viewed on the landscape of Summer Bay as a long term guest rather than as a character stretching in to an indeterminate future.
As great as Chris and his character have been for the canvas of the show, Brad's departure is part of putting Sally in to a position that is more suitable for the Christmas cliffhanger revelation that propels her and other characters in to one of the major story arcs of 2008.
The way Brad leaves the show is very positive and satisfying and does not close the door on this character's return in the future to Summer Bay."

Chris Sadrinna who plays Brad, will be written out of the show in the next twelve months according to Sydney newspaper The Daily Telegraph.
"It wasn't his choice to go, the producers made the decision for him. He didn't want to go, he was just told 'that's it','' one spy allegedly told the paper yesterday.
Confidential sources say Sadrinna was told last week that his role on the show would end within months - a decision that has apparently staggered the 32-year-old.
Given his character is tied closely to Kate Ritchie's character, Sally, we may be set for another media frenzy over her future, similar to what was seen after last year's cliffhanger ending which had many fans convinced they had seen the last of Sally.
Insiders claim Brad's shock departure opens the door for his Gold Logie-winning co-star to be written out too when her contract expires in November.
Meanwhile, with her co-hosting on It Takes Two finishing up this week, Kate is heading over to the UK this month with co-stars Mark Furze (Ric) and Jodi Gordon (Martha) to do some promotional work and film interviews with Channel Five.

Cathy Godbold, who's portrayal as Leukaemia sufferer Meg Bowman became one of H&A's most memorable storylines, has been battling her own battle with a brain tumour.
Cathy, who was diagnosed with the tumour back in May, had the tumour removed immediately in a Melbourne hospital before starting a course of radiotherapy, which she completed on Friday.
In an interview with the Sunday Herald Sun, Cathy said that she was determined to get back to good health. "It was a terrible shock to find out I was ill. Because I am young and healthy I have a much better chance of beating it. I want to get healthy and get back to work as soon as possible. I feel tired as the treatment does knock you for six."
