LONDON: Aussie actress Jodi Gordon is walking away from the hit soap that turned her into a household name Down Under.

The Home & Away star will film her final scenes as Martha MCKenzie for the long-running TV drama in February (10).

Her decision to leave the show comes less than a year after her boyfriend reported her missing after she disappeared from a Sydney-area party.

She was found by police cowering in an apartment with another man.

The drama cost Gordon her relationship with media heir Ryan Stokes.

During her stint on Home & Away, Gordon, 24, lost her first love, Chris Burkhardt, to cancer.

A spokeswoman for the show tells the Sydney Daily Telegraph, "Jodi has put in a tremendous five years on Home and Away. It was a mutual decision for her to take this next step in her career."
