Home and Away’s Stephen Peacocke has shared a surprising admission about Darryl ‘Brax’ Braxton’s dramatic return. The actor will be reprising his beloved role for a special Home and Away event<\/a>, alongside his on-screen partner Bonnie Sveen, who played Erica ‘Ricky’ Sharpe.<\/p>\n

Brax and Ricky were last seen in 2016<\/a> when they left Summer Bay to start a new adventure with their son Casey<\/a>. Now, the fan-favourite couple will be back for a series of special episodes which will be filmed across Western Australia. <\/p>\n

While viewers will be delighted to catch up with Ricky and Brax<\/a> after their decade-long absence, Peacocke has shared his fears about returning to our screens. <\/p>\n

“I’m a bit nervous,” he told Mediaweek<\/a>. “I get nervous all the time. There’s never a day I come home and think, I’ve nailed that.”<\/p>\n

“I look at younger actors and really admire how confident they seem, because most of the time we’ll finish a take and the director will say it’s fine, and I’ll still be asking ‘are you sure that worked?'” he laughed.<\/p>\n

Despite feeling apprehensive, Peacocke<\/a> also shared his excitement to discover what Brax has been up to since we last saw him, adding that he “didn’t even realise it had been ten years”.<\/p>\n

“It was a pretty popular storyline and a popular character that I played, so they thought it’d be great to catch up with him \u2013 to see where he’s at now that there’s a bit of water under the bridge.”<\/p>\n

“I love playing that character so much, and I love the crew and the people I was working with,” he continued. “There’s an audience that really wants to see this, and I just want to make it as good as it can be, and I’m sure it will be.”<\/p>\n

The episodes will be produced in partnership with Tourism Western Australia in a bid to highlight the state’s natural beauty. Filming was scheduled to take place this month, before the episodes air next year. <\/p>\n

Home and Away <\/strong>airs weekdays at 1.45pm on Channel 5, with repeat screenings at 6pm on 5STAR and first-look screenings at 6.30pm on 5STAR. Selected classic episodes are available via <\/strong>Prime Video<\/strong><\/a> in the UK.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Australia, the show airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 and streams on 7Plus.<\/strong><\/p>\n
