Home and Away Star Juliet Godwin Announces Engagement Days Before Emotional Exit
Just days before her Home and Away farewell aired, actress Juliet Godwin shared joyful personal news — she’s officially engaged to her longtime partner Sam Masters.
The 30-year-old star, best known for portraying Dr Bree Cameron, revealed the milestone on Tuesday with a romantic beachside post from Pringle Bay, South Africa, marking a bittersweet week for both her real and fictional journeys.
“Here’s to Forever, Baby” — Juliet’s Sweet Announcement
Juliet announced the engagement on Instagram, sharing a glowing photo of herself and Sam smiling on the sand, the ocean behind them, and her sparkling new ring front and center.
“October, you were good to us. Here’s to forever, baby,” she captioned the post.
Friends, family, and co-stars were quick to celebrate the news. Lynne McGranger (Irene Roberts), Ada Nicodemou (Leah Patterson-Baker), and Emily Symons (Marilyn Chambers) all flooded the comments with congratulations.
Juliet and Sam have been together for four years. Speaking to Adelaide Now, the actress joked about their first meeting:
“Sam couldn’t resist my awesome ’70s dance moves. I showed him how good I was at the sprinkler and the rest is history.”
Bree’s Farewell: A New Beginning On and Off Screen
Juliet’s engagement announcement came just before Home and Away confirmed her final episode as Bree aired on Thursday night.
After three years in Summer Bay, Dr Bree Cameron said goodbye to her colleagues at Northern Districts Hospital and her ex-boyfriend Remi Carter (Adam Rowland), choosing to pursue a new chapter with Doctors Without Borders.
In her emotional final scene, Bree shared a heartfelt goodbye with Remi, whose support had been pivotal in her escape from an abusive marriage.
“I could never forget you,” she told him. “You changed my life. Without you, I never would have made it to this point.”
Her departure closes one of the show’s most powerful domestic violence storylines — and sets the stage for a dramatic finale that promises heartbreak and chaos for those she leaves behind.
A Train, A Proposal, and a Disaster to End the Year
As Juliet bows out, Home and Away is gearing up for one of its most intense season finales in years.
The final week of 2025 sees several Bay residents boarding a party train bound for Off the Rails, a three-day music festival in Broken Hill. Among the passengers are Remi (Adam Rowland) and Sonny (Ryan Bown), celebrating a major gig for their newest artist Eddie Shepherd (Stephen Madsen).
The journey begins in celebration — complete with a surprise proposal — but turns deadly when the train derails, leaving lives hanging in the balance.
ITV producers have teased that not everyone will make it home, promising a catastrophic collision that will forever change Summer Bay.
Juliet’s Real-Life Farewell Mirrors Bree’s Strength
While her Home and Away chapter has closed, Juliet Godwin’s engagement marks a joyful new beginning off-screen — one filled with love, laughter, and the same hope for renewal her character found on her way out of Summer Bay.
And as fans prepare for the show’s explosive finale, Juliet’s parting words to TV Week ring even truer:
“Bree’s story was about finding courage and choosing life again. I think I’m doing that too.”
