Home and Away fans have received a surprising health update from Lynne McGranger, known for her role as Irene Roberts. In a recent Instagram post, McGranger shared that she has undergone surgery to remove her thyroid. Accompanying the news was a photo of her smiling from a hospital bed, dressed in a white gown.

McGranger explained that her decision to have her thyroid removed was driven by the organ’s overactive and problematic nature, which she described as “toxic.” She admitted that the situation had been draining and that it was time to part ways with her “incompatible” thyroid. Despite the seriousness of the surgery, McGranger expressed gratitude towards the staff at Mater Hospital North Sydney for their exceptional care, making the challenging procedure much smoother than anticipated. She gave a glowing endorsement of the hospital, stating that she felt well and didn’t miss her thyroid at all.
McGranger’s co-star, Emily Simons, who portrays Marilyn Chambers, shared a supportive message in the comments, sending her best wishes for a swift recovery and lots of love. Fans of the show also rallied around McGranger with their well-wishes. One follower commented, “Get well soon! There’s no scar that a diamond necklace can’t hide,” while another wrote, “Wishing you swift healing. Rest up and hope you feel amazing soon.”
