The actor, who plays Kyle Braxton, said that he is planning to decide whether to leave the show in 2016.

Home and Away: Newcomer Billie Ashford to make a move on Kyle Braxton

"I know it's not too far away when I'll have to make the decision whether to stay on the show or venture off to new things," he told The West Australian.

"Obviously with three years on the show there is a bit extra after that usually, so I'll eventually come to the decision sometime next year whether I'll be staying on the show or heading off somewhere else."

Westaway went on to say that he is considering taking on work in the US.

"I've started to do things like work on an American accent so it feels natural to me and I had my agent send me through some TV pilot episodes they have done in America," he added.

Following hot on the trails of whispers that Bonnie Sveen is leaving the series, it also seems her onscreen “brother in law” Nic Westaway, who plays Kyle Braxton, could be set to follow in her footsteps.

After months of speculation, due to a lack of photos from Palm Beach on Nic’s Instagram account, it is rumoured that Nic has left the series to pursue other options. The rumour is further fuelled by a picture of a commemorative photo collage, traditionally given to departing cast members, that has spread around social media.

Though the origin of the picture is currently unknown, the plaque reads “Nic Westaway as Kyle Braxton / Episodes 5578-6408 / Home and Away / Seven Network Operations“. The collage also appears to contain an image of Nic alongside Samantha Jade, in a scene that has yet to air on-screen.

If the picture is genuine, Nic’s final scenes as Kyle Braxton would air on Wednesday, 20th April 2016.

Home and Away resumes with Episode 6351 on Monday, 1st February.

Also ahead in the Bay, Kyle Braxton could be in danger when a mystery newcomer arrives with a dark agenda.

It's just another regular day at work for Kyle (Nic Westaway) until sexy stranger Isla Schultz turns up at Angelo's, claiming to be a saleswoman who is in the Bay on business.

When Isla (Samantha Jade) takes an instant liking to Kyle, it seems that the last remaining Braxton brother may have found himself a new love interest - but not for long.

After making a furtive phone call to an unknown contact about Kyle, Isla finally reveals her true agenda by threatening him.

It turns out that Isla is an associate of Dave Rogers from Melbourne, the guy Kyle was mixed up with over the illegal poker game.

With Dave now calling in the debt, Isla is here to make sure that Kyle pays up - or else. Will Kyle be able to come up with the cash?

Home and Away airs these scenes Thursday, April 21 at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5.

Home and Away's Kyle Braxton will face a very uncertain future when a twist in court sees his past catch up with him.

Kyle is standing trial for a robbery carried out by his scheming girlfriend Isla Schultz​ (Samantha Jade), but he will ultimately decide to take the fall for her crimes.

With Kyle facing a prison sentence, a guilty Isla does finally decide to do the right thing and tell the truth. However, he refuses to let her come clean and later hands a bag of cash from the crime into the police, with his fingerprints all over it.

After sharing some emotional final words with his baby nephew Casey, Kyle fails to listen to the advice of those closest to him and heads to court, more determined than ever to take the wrap for Isla.

Kyle will be thrown when something from his past comes up during the trial, but will it help or hinder his case?​

Nic Westaway, who plays Kyle, told to TV Week: "Something Kyle doesn't expect comes up in the court case. In that moment, his past truly catches up with him - it makes things depressing and traumatic.​"

Discussing why Kyle is prepared to go to prison for Isla, Westaway added: ​"He wants to give Isla a better life. He understands what it is like to be given a second chance.​

"​It's her or him - and he'd rather it be him. He has to continue to protect her by taking away the evidence and stopping her from making a bad decision. He doesn't want his sacrifice to count for nothing."

does he go to jail?

[Pantherboy]

does he go to jail?

AUST PACE SPOILER ALERT!! (Please don't read on if you don't want to know)


Yes, he goes to jail (last night's Aust episode was his finale). The judge originally sentences him to 8 years, with a non parole period of 6 years, but then because of his prior record & violating his good behaviour bond he upps that to 13 years, with a minimum of 10 years! Near the end we saw him admitted to jail & put into his cell.
