To borrow the immortal words of a certain Summer Bay resident, one Alfred James Stewart, if there was ever a case of ‘about bloody time’, then this was it: Lynne McGranger has taken out the 2025 TV WEEK Gold Logie.
The long suffering time Home and Away star also picked up the Logie for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television. McGranger has played Irene Roberts on the soapie since 1993.
This is the first time she’s won for her portrayal.
While, there were gold statues, teary speeches, and a red carpet packed tighter than a Bondi beach on New Year’s Day, the real winner of last night’s TV WEEK Logie Awards wasn’t just McGranger or a particular program. It was a network. And that network was the ABC.
While other broadcasters brought their best frocks and brightest stars, it was the ABC that not-so-quietly cleaned up across the board.
Who won what
ABC
ABC maintained its consistent Logies footprint with awards across comedy with wins from Fisk, and Gruen. Drama also scored a gong thanks to Return To Paradise, while Bluey (obviously) took home the award for Best Children’s Program, and news also scored a nod for Four Corners.
The broadcaster also took home the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent, which went to Guy Montgomery for Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont Spelling Bee.
