In a night of celebration for Australian television, veteran actress Lynne McGranger claimed her first Gold Logie at the 2025 awards ceremony, capping off a remarkable career on the iconic soap Home and Away.
A Triumph for Summer Bay's Favourite
McGranger, who has portrayed Irene Roberts on the long-running Channel Seven drama for over three decades, was visibly emotional as she accepted the prestigious award. "This is for every actor who's ever thought their time had passed," she declared to thunderous applause.
Fisk Cleans Up in Comedy Categories
The ABC's critically acclaimed comedy Fisk emerged as the night's big winner, securing three awards including:
- Best Comedy Program
- Best Actress in a Comedy for Kitty Flanagan
- Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy for Marty Sheargold
The show's success marks a significant moment for Australian scripted comedy, proving that locally produced content can compete with international heavyweights.
New Faces Shine Alongside Veterans
While McGranger's win celebrated longevity in the industry, several breakthrough performers also made their mark. Rising star Jamal Koram took home the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent for his role in Eden, demonstrating the awards' ability to spotlight both established and emerging talent.
The ceremony, broadcast live from The Star in Sydney, featured spectacular musical performances and paid tribute to Australian television's rich history while looking towards its future.
