Yahoo News Home & Away star speaks out about VJ's emotional exit
Home and Away star Matt Little has spoken out about VJ Patterson's emotional exit for the first time.
VJ's final episode aired on Australian screens yesterday (November 23), bringing an end to Matt's three-year stint on the show.
VJ was forced to step up and protect his daughter Luc in a bid to prevent her biological father Mick Jennings from getting custody of her.
Reflecting on his exit in a video interview, Matt acknowledged that it was time to rest his character – and thanked fans for allowing him to grow as an actor.
"My initial reaction to finding out VJ was leaving was that I wasn't surprised," Matt said. "I knew it had to end at a certain point. The way he left, I was comfortable in that it made sense.
"I was really happy as the last moments I had were with cast members I'd spent a lot of time with, so that was cool.
"My favourite relationships on the show would be between Ada and Scott's characters (Leah and Hunter). They were also the strongest relationships I had in my real life and they were the most creatively stimulating."
Speaking his future plans and whether he'd ever return to Home and Away, Matt explained: "Like any relationship, it's unfair to speculate at this point.
"It would feel a bit weak to come back if there was no real reason. I think I'm in a pretty good place right now to move on.
" I want to travel the world for longer than four months. I want to be away for at least year."
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.
