Home & Away starlet Sharni Vinson, currently dating AJ Buckley who apparently appears in one of the thousands of CSI spin offs out there, had planned on leaving Summer Bay to make her mark in Los Angeles. And why not? Her boyfriend, surely the most unbiased of people, thinks she'd "kill it" over there! But alas, the writers' strikes in the US means we won't be seeing her pop up as a bit part in anything in the near future.

The Aussie actress filmed her final scenes for Home and Away last month, with the plan to hit Hollywood at the time of year when studios are shooting new shows and looking for new talent.

But the two-month long writers' strike, which has crippled the entertainment industry there, is sure to put a spanner in the works.

No matter - it just means the 24-year-old starlet will have more time to laze around the house with her CSI: New York hunk.

Well as long as true love prevails, we can sleep soundly tonight.
