It's been a week since the big event, and we thought we'd share this little pic from the meet n greet with Kyle Shilling just before doors opened.

Helen had come all the way from Huonville, a 3 hour drive away, to see Kyle. She's a huge Home and Away fan and tells us the theme song is even going to be played at her last hoorah (many years away we hope!).

Her friend also told us that one time the police came to her door and she made them wait until the episode was finished. That sounds like something that could only happen in Summer Bay!

Thanks for coming Helen... we hope you enjoyed the dancing too 🫶
