‘It’s hard to express what this show has meant to me. The places I got to go, the immense talent I got to work with… it breaks my heart that it is all over,’ she wrote.

‘But my heart had to be this full of all the memories, good times, challenges and triumphs, to be able to break at all… so that makes me grateful.’

‘To have been blessed to join this crazy adventure of a show will be a career highlight, which will no doubt be hard to top.’ 

 ‘We all set the bar high for each other, then exceeded it and excelled, in every department.

‘The friendships, the scripts, the locations, the one liners, the early mornings, the last minute changes, all the highs and lows: I’m going to miss it all.’

‘It’s the people I will miss most of all,’ she added.

‘I just watched the final episode of the final season of something that has changed my life. And now, my life has changed again. Thank you for all the love and support.’

It is her and husband Dave Lawson’s first child.

The actress was 32 weeks pregnant at the March premiere and proudly cradled her bump as she posed at her first public event in a year.

She told ET: ‘It’s exciting! I feel great’ before adding she has ‘like two months’ to go before her due date.

She also confirmed she was pregnant while filming the show’s fourth and final season, saying: ‘I mean, you couldn’t super tell. Because it’s not super big, at least at the moment.’

Sarah proposed to Dave, 45, in October 2020, and the pair married in the backyard of her home in Brooklyn, New York, in February 2021.

‘At the beginning of the pandemic last year, I got locked down in Melbourne with one of my best mates and we fell in love,’ she told Vogue in 2020.

‘We’ve been friends since 2014, lived together, travelled together, always excited to see each other, but totally platonic.’ 

Sarah says that the stars aligned and a romance between the pair arose. 

‘We’ve just never been single at the same time. It’s been a ride. There’s so much heartache and sadness in the world, but on a micro personal level, I’ve been very fortunate,’ Snook said.
