While the 2026 TV WEEK Logie Awards drew some of the biggest names in Australian television, there were also some noticeable absences, particularly several well-known Home and Away cast members who decided to skip the ceremony.
Home and Away was shockingly snubbed this year, with the beloved soap and its cast receiving zero nominations. However, an insider has told Chattr that the Logies snub wasn’t the only thing behind the noticeably smaller Home and Away turnout.
“Obviously, their lack of nominations meant that lots of the cast didn’t want to attend — it was a big deal, and many felt disappointed about it. But I don’t think that was the only reason some of the big names didn’t attend,” the insider exclusively told Chattr.
“There’s been a feud brewing between some of the cast members, so it makes sense that they wouldn’t want to be posing on the red carpet together or be in the same room.”
It’s unclear who is feuding, but by looking at who attended, it appeared to be mostly senior cast members. The majority of the younger cast members weren’t there, which could mean the feud is between the senior and newer cast.
Which Home and Away stars attended the 2026 Logies and who skipped out?
Channel 7 shared a carousel of the Home and Away cast who attended the 2026 Logies, and among them were Stephanie Panozzo, Emily Symons, Jeremy Lindsay Taylor, Ada Nicodemou, James Stewart, Kyle Shilling, Hailey Pinto, Adam Rowland, Georgie Parker and Rocco Forrester-Sach.
While the attendees do include some of the show’s biggest names, there were also some huge Home and Away stars who usually attend the Logies but skipped out this year.
Nicholas Cartwright is usually very much a Logies regular, but was nowhere to be seen this year. The same goes for Ethan Browne, Matt Evans, Tristan Gorey and Ally Harris.
The missing cast members were picked up by eagle-eyed fans, with some people questioning where they were in the Instagram comments section.
“Missing quite a lot of the cast, weird they didn’t go,” one person wrote. “Why doesn’t the whole cast get to go?” another questioned.
“No Jess, Ally, Maddison, Ethan, Nic and Nicole? Plus Emily Weir, Ryan, Sophea and Tristan are overseas,” a third penned.
Home and Away airs Monday – Thursday on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
