Home and Away aired VJ Patterson's final scenes today as the teenager fled Summer Bay with baby Luc.
VJ's final episode aired on Australian screens on Thursday November 23, bringing an end to Matt Little's three year stint on the show.
VJ was forced to step up and protect his daughter Luc in a bid to stop her biological father Mick Jennings from getting custody.
Viewers know that VJ's late partner Billie Ashford fell pregnant with Luc after being raped by Irene's unstable son, and so everyone was understandably horrified at the prospect of him having anything to do with the youngster.
Knowing they needed to take drastic action, Ash was initially planning to head abroad with his young niece – but changed his mind at the eleventh hour when he realised he was going to be a dad.
After Kat Chapman told Ash that he was the father of her unborn baby – and not Robbo – he had second thoughts about leaving the Bay, prompting VJ to step up instead.
What to Read Next
Wanting to fulfil his final promise to Billie, VJ insisted that he was going to take Luc abroad – despite some initial hesitance from his mother Leah.
Distraught at the prospect of losing VJ, Leah desperately tried to persuade him to reconsider his decision, but he stood his ground and said an emotional farewell to his loved ones.
VJ's finals scenes saw him fly out of the Bay on a helicopter arranged by Alf Stewart, while Irene deliberately distracted Mick so he couldn't intervene.
Matt took over the role of Leah's son VJ in 2014, having previously appeared as Ethan in Neighbours.
Home and Away's UK audience will see VJ's final scenes early next year. The show airs at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5.
