In 2008 it was revealed that Hayes was returning to the serial and likened it to returning home when she stated : `` It felt like coming home after I had moved out already, everything changed but was really still the same, it was refreshing and exciting. '' In 2009, Hayes decided to leave the serial again and filmed her final scenes in August. She cited that the time felt right, but added she was happy she had come back for the time she had. Hayes later said that she is not planning to return in the future, but will not completely rule it out. Character development Characterisation On the subject of Kirsty 's personality changes during her time away from Summer Bay, Hayes stated : `` As a mum, she has become protective of her kids around her, but is still trying to figure herself out. '' Speaking of Kirsty overall development after Hayes finished filming, she stated : `` I like how the character 's been resolved and the way she 's grown up - she was a little girl when she first arrived and now she 's not only divorced but even had a storyline where she needed money and started working as an escort ! '' Relationship with Kane Phillips Kirsty 's relationship with Kane Phillips ( Sam Atwell ) proved to be one of the serial 's most controversial storylines in its history. The controversy stemmed from a previous storyline in which Kane sexually assaulted her sister Dani Sutherland ( Tammin Sursok ), knowing this Kirsty pursues Kane. Atwell later departed and the storyline was phased out until the revelation that the storyline had actually proved so popular with viewers that producers brought back Atwell 's character to resume their relationship. Producer 's decided to capitalise on the pairing 's popularity by making a tie in Book, CD and a DVD titled Home and Away : Hearts Divided. Exit Kirsty 's exit storyline aired in 2009. One of her final storylines is her miscarriage and subsequent breakdown of her relationship with Miles Copeland ( Josh Quong Tart ) which leads her to run away from Summer Bay without telling him. This was out of character for Kirsty to not tell Miles, Hayes branded the exit as selfish and during an interview why she did it, stating : `` It 's horrible ! It 's so selfish but I forgive it because I see Kirsty in her right mind would n't have actually done that. She 's emotionally detached and I think she thought at the time she was doing the best thing (... ) She thinks that if she talked about it with Miles, he 'd try and talk her out of it and she might stay and then they 'd be stuck going back and forth. '' However Hayes still disapproved of the way it was handled stating : `` I do n't agree with what she did or how she did it but Kirsty in her warped, grieving mind thinks it 's best for everybody. '' Paula Forrest also returned as her on - screen mother Shelley Sutherland for her departure, Hayes was delighted by this and stated : `` That was fantastic ! We both know our characters back to front and, even though she has n't played Shelley for a very long time, it was like no time had passed at all. Leaving Home and Away was really an emotional time for me, so I loved having a mother figure there. '' Hayes also praised her exit storyline citing it as realistic to just leave without being killed off or being part of a dramatic illness plot.
