Ada Nicodemou has marked 25 years on our screens in Home and Away.
The star joined the show as Leah Patterson-Baker in March 2000, meaning she’s played the character for a quarter of a century.
Which is pretty wild when you think of it like that!
To mark this incredible milestone, Ada recently shared a throwback picture on her social media.
In the caption, she revealed that she’d be reflecting on Leah’s 25 years in Summer Bay by posting some more iconic images from over the years.
She wrote: ‘This month will mark my 25th year on #HomeandAway (I know, I can’t believe it either) & to celebrate I thought I’d take a stroll down memory lane looking through all of Leah’s iconic moments. First up…weddings.’
At the end of last month, Ada reacted to the news her close friend and co-star is set to leave the soap after 32 years.

Lynne McGranger is the longest-serving female actor in an Australian drama, but her tenure is set to come to an end later this year, with her exit set to be an unmissable one that promises to go down in Summer Bay history.
Lynne took over the role of Irene Roberts in 1993, who has had some dramatic storylines over the years, including alcoholism, a breast cancer diagnosis, the discovery of a long-lost son and a stint in prison for a murder she didn’t commit.
Feeling reflective, Ada wrote in a sweet post: ‘What can I say about my best mate? And my favourite work mate? I love you so much @lynnemcgranger I think I’m still in denial that you’re leaving. I may not let you leave. Maybe I’ll just kidnap you and let you live in our dressing room hahaha.

She added: ‘Honestly though the show won’t be the same and my day won’t be the same without you in it! We all adore you! #HomeandAway.’
In the comments section, Lynne responded: ‘Oh sweetheart I know I’ll be in bits when the day arrives. But we’ll be forever friends and there’ll be many more lunches, dinners, and catchups and laughs. And you’ll get to share a dressing room with someone who leaves their pants on!’.
Lynne is set to finish filming at the end of March, with her emotional exit set to play out on screen later this year on Channel 5, giving fans a while longer to enjoy her Irene-isms.
