Lynne McGranger's Home And Away character, Irene, has seen very few love interests in her time on air.
The Summer Bay stalwart is known best for taking in lost souls than looking for a soul mate.

Until now, that is. 

The 68-year-old appeared on Nova 96.9's Fitzy and Wippa show this morning and helped play a devilish prank on the show's producer, Lucy Addario, regarding Irene's love life.
Lynne admitted to the show's hosts that her character hasn't had much in the way of romantic storylines in recent years.
That role was usually left to Ada's character, Leah, who's had at least three husbands, two broken off engagements and countless boyfriends.
"She doesn't murder her husbands like Leah does," Lynne joked when asked about her character's love life.
"Leah is the resident black widow. Leah has all her husbands up on the mantelpiece, that have died"

"So I've been thinking about it and we've talked to Shane about it too, I've just wondered if there's any milage and say Irene and John's relationship just getting a little bit awkward, a little bit flirty, a little bit weird…" Lynne asked Lucy over the phone.
"Of course they're also going why don't Alf and Irene have sex on the beach…but we want people to turn on not to turn off!" Lynne hilariously continued.
"Well if it's not Shane maybe we could get Colin Firth in, just saying…..that's a joke Luce."
Lucy took the joke like a true champ, before joking: "Be careful what you wish for Lynne!"
