We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: the cast of Home and Away is the closest group of people in Australian entertainment.
They’ve shown it again again by wishing Emily Weir a happy 30th birthday with the most emotional words.
Georgie Parker shared a bunch of photos of herself and Emily together on Instagram, along with a sweet message about wanting to celebrate together soon, despite the fact that both stars are now stranded in Sydney.
“Happy birthday, birthday girl, you’re a ray of light. “I hope you have a lovely day,” she wrote, “and when we can go out on the town again, we’ll be doing this
