Dan Bennett Quits

Just a mere six months after announcing his return to the long-running series, Dan Bennett has revealed that he has quit his job as Series Script Executive of Home and Away.

The writer, who has been responsible for the Summer Bay Stalker and Charlotte King storylines during his tenures, took to Twitter on New Years Day to confirm that he has left his executive post on the Channel 7 soap.

The news comes just days after rumours emerged of a shock storyline that would see up to 6 main characters written out of the series. The claims, made by Australian magazine Woman’s Day, were quickly dismissed by Mr Bennett as “lies” and “complete bullsh*t”.

It it currently unknown as to who will fill the capacity of Series Script Executive, but Dan has confirmed that his material would continue airing until August 2016.

BTTB would like to wish Dan Bennett good luck with everything the future holds.
