Home and Away (Aus) storyline in London

[Perdita]

Home and Away bosses have decided to film special episodes of the soap in London.

Shooting will take place this autumn as a number of central cast members travel to the UK as part of a dramatic new storyline.

While exact details of the plot are being kept under wraps for now, show chiefs have said that the characters involved will be "embarking on a desperate fight to hang onto what is most important in life - love and family".

Greg Barnett, commissioning editor for Home and Away's UK broadcaster Channel 5, commented: "Although we can't reveal much about the storyline at present, I can promise fans this is going to be one not to miss.

"It's great to have the show filming these very special episodes in the UK, and as a huge fan myself I'm very, very excited!"

I wonder will it involve the Braxtons

[xessixa]

I was hoping that it would be about Indi finding Romeo in London, I hope it's not another Braxton storyline! I like them, but it's just all about them lately :/

[xessixa]

Actually, I wonder if it will be Irene, I read somewhere she has a big storyline coming up soon! :-)

Irene already filmed in the UK back some 10 years ago with Marilyn, if I remember correctly!! I would imagine it will be Braxton related somehow......Home and Away is about family and who does it better than the Braxton Brothers! I'd love to see more Cheryl tbh!! Supose we just have to wait and see :P

That would be good but the actor who plays Romeo is the US as he has a gig on a new show there

Home and Away's UK fans are being offered the chance to win a date with the River Boys when they film episodes of the soap in London next month.

Steve Peacocke (Brax), Dan Ewing (Heath) and Lincoln Younes (Casey) will all feature in the special storyline which is being shot in London in October.

Home and Away's UK broadcaster Channel 5 has now launched a competition which will see one lucky fan enjoy a date with the Braxton brothers at a five-star London hotel.

The winner will also be allowed to bring a friend along to the date.

Viewers can submit their entries by visiting the Channel 5 website and uploading a video of themselves giving their best chat-up line for the boys.

Channel 5 will then pick its five favourites to go head-to-head in a public vote.

Home and Away bosses announced their decision to film in the UK earlier this month.

While details of the plot were not revealed, show chiefs confirmed that the characters involved will be "embarking on a desperate fight to hang onto what is most important in life - love and family".

The storyline will air in 2014.

It can't be Romeo. If you pause the newest promo when the pictures get really fast, one of them is chris, Indi, sasha, dex and April up at the lighthouse where Romeo left Indi with a vase of ashes. I think he's dead.

Home and Away star Lincoln Younes has revealed his excitement over the show's upcoming London episodes.

It was revealed earlier this month that bosses have decided to film special episodes of the soap in London, which will feature Younes (Casey), Steve Peacocke (Brax) and Dan Ewing (Heath).

Younes said to TV Week: "It's good that the UK fans have received the River Boys so well. The show has filmed over there before and it's a nice ode to the international fans.

"I think a few people were a little bit disappointed they didn't get to go and that's normal. But the show is going international and, hopefully, that's a precedent for more trips."

While exact details of the plot are being kept under wraps for now, Younes is keen to film at some iconic London locations.

He said: "I'm hoping Casey gets to go for a swim in the Thames.

"Although, I don't think there will be too many shirtless scenes - more woollen jackets and having a few pints in the pub."

Home and Away's latest London storyline will air in 2014.

Grimshaw shot his scene earlier this week while on location with the cast on the streets of London.

Home and Away stars are currently filming a dramatic new storyline which sees several characters in the UK "embarking on a desperate fight to hang onto what is most important in life - love and family".

Steve Peacocke (Darryl 'Brax' Braxton), Dan Ewing (Heath Braxton), Lincoln Younes (Casey Braxton), Lisa Gormley (Bianca Scott) and Bonnie Sveen (Ricky Sharpe) have all been confirmed to appear in the special episodes.

Greg Barnett, commissioning editor for Home and Away's UK broadcaster Channel 5, commented: "Although we can't reveal much about the storyline at present I can promise fans this is going to be one not to miss. It's great to have the show filming these very special episodes in the UK and as a huge fan myself I'm very, very excited!"

Home and Away's London storyline will air in the UK in May 2014.

So if Brax is in the London episodes, that means he`s out of jail.
I never believed he killed that guy. I bet since he asked his friend to hide the body must mean the guy escaped. After all, Ricky`s brother (whose name escapes me) pretended he was dead to Brax before.

I was wondering how they got through Customs!" laughs Home and Away star Dan Ewing. He's referring to the River Boys' recent trip to London. In episodes to air in 2014, Braxton brothers Heath (Dan Ewing), Brax (Steve Peacocke) and Casey (Lincoln Younes) will head abroad. They will be also joined by Ricky (Bonnie Sveen) and Bianca (Lisa Gormley). The exact details of why the Braxtons visit London are top-secret but several cast members let slip a few hints.

Apparently, the gang heads overseas because Ricky gets offered a job. "She will finally get a job!" portrayer Bonnie Sveen, 25, says of her alter ego's situation. "She gets a great opportunity. That's what leads to an awesome week in London. Lisa Gormley, who plays Heath's wife, Bianca, suggests the two girls are also trying to avoid something in the Bay. "They run away from Summer Bay," Lisa, 29, teases "but I won't tell you from what... "Ricky gets a great job opportunity. So, that's the incentive to go and Bianca tags along.

Also along for the ride are the Braxton brothers. "They're just chasing girls," Steve Peacocke, 32, laughs. "That's why most blokes go to London, isn't it? "We were wondering how Brax got through passport control. Maybe he's got a good forger somewhere." Aussie audiences can expect to see plenty of iconic London buildings when the episodes air.

"We filmed all over the shop," Dan, 28, says. "Piccadilly Circus and Mayfair, the Shard and Millennium Bridge. Big Ben will also feature. Then there's the London Eye, which Heath calls 'the wheel thing'. It's a long way from home for the Braxton boys, who are more at ease on a surfboard. "It's great," Steve says. "Aussie audiences will see us as fish out of water. We're out of our depth. The Braxtons will also find time to relax in a few cosy pubs. "We shot at a pub that couldn't handle the lighting," Dan reveals. "We kept blowing the fuse!"

Home and Away has unveiled the official promo clip for the soap's London episodes.

The scenes - filmed in October last year - focus on the Braxton family as they travel to the UK.

Brax and Heath visit the capital city to save their respective relationships with Ricky Sharpe and Bianca Scott, while their younger brother Casey also tags along for the experience.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that Brax (Steve Peacocke) will be left fighting for his life after being hit by a car as he tries to track down Ricky (Bonnie Sveen).

Lincoln Younes has confirmed that his character Casey will have a holiday romance with a local girl named Linda - played by Fresh Meat star Hannah Britland.

The pair's time together is cut short after Casey gets a call about his brother's accident, but it may not be the last time that he sees his new love interest.

Braxton brothers take a trip to the UK in upcoming episodes

Meanwhile, Heath (Dan Ewing) is aiming to save his marriage after the arrival of his new son Harley pushed Bianca (Lisa Gormley) away.

He believes his relationship can get back on track until Bianca makes a shock confession, leaving him to decide whether or not to fight for the marriage.

In the aftermath of the revelation, Bianca asks Heath to think about it and meet her at local landmark The Shard with his answer, leaving him with a big choice to make.

Home and Away airs these scenes next week on Network Seven in Australia and early May on Channel 5 in the UK.
