At the 65th TV WEEK Logie Awards in 2025, Lynne McGranger, a Channel Seven icon known for her 33-year role as Irene Roberts on "Home and Away," won the coveted Gold Logie for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television, marking her first-ever win at the event. McGranger also took home a Silver Logie for Best Lead Actress in a Drama, celebrating her long-standing contribution to Australian television as she prepares to leave the show. The event saw "Fisk" sweep all five of its nominated categories, including Best Scripted Comedy Program, with Kitty Flanagan and Aaron Chen winning Silver Logies for Best Lead Comedy performances. Other major winners included Sam Neill for Best Lead Actor in a Drama for "The Twelve" and "Return To Paradise" as Best Drama. The Gold Logie category was noted for its predominantly female nominees, with Hamish Blake as the lone male nominee, who expressed he did not want to win to avoid controversy. McGranger's victory was widely celebrated as a fitting tribute to her decades-long career and dedication to Australian television.
