Brax

Over on Home and Away, a dangerous situation unfolds for Brax and Andy Barrett as they seek revenge on villain Jake Pirovic.

Brax (Steve Peacocke) and Andy (Tai Hara) are desperate to get payback after Jake (Fletcher Humphrys) murdered Brax's younger brother Casey.

As the two men disappear in pursue of Jake, the Braxton household nervously wait for news, while a pregnant Ricky panics that she may never see Brax again.

With Brax and Andy keeping Jake's hideout under surveillance, their plan starts to fall apart when Jake arrives and realises they are there after spotting their tyre tracks.

As Jake jumps back into his car and speeds off, Andy and Brax pursue him in their own vehicle and a dangerous car chase ensues as Brax tries to force Jake off the road.

When Brax and Jake speed towards each other, Andy shouts at Brax to stop, but Brax refuses to listen. As Jake then turns at the final moment, his car flips and falls down a gully.

Although Brax and Ash are unconvinced by his claims, they are forced to temporarily abandon their search and head to a pub in town. However, Brax is on a mission and while Ash drinks in the pub, Brax heads back out to the desert to see Dean alone.

Whilst drinking in the pub, Ash learns of Dean's dangerous violent streak from pub barman Sam as he explains that a beating from Dean left him with injuries so severe he was unable to fulfil his dreams of being a pilot.

Meanwhile, Brax launches a one man mission as he steals Dean's car keys and follows him into a dark passageway.

Article in today's The Sunday Telegraph newspaper in Sydney.

"It's news that will devastate Summer Bay fans: The country's most popular TV ster Steve Peacocke is quitting Home And Away to try his luck in Hollywood.
But before lovelorn teenagers start sending tissue sales soaring, although he has filmed his final scenes as Daryl "Brax" Braxton's on the Channel 7 soap, Peacocke will continue to be seen on our screens for most of this year.
His new wife Bridgette Sneddon has also finished up on the show and the pair have moved to Los Angeles to try their luck.
" it wasn't something I was looking forward to because I love the show and the people I work with so much," Peacocke said.
"But I think the key to any good TV series or storytelling is to leave the audience at the right point, and where we got to with Brax, we hit a point where it was the best point for him to exit the show."
Peacocke, 33 , who got a taste of Hollywood with a small role in the Brett Ratner blockbuster Hercules last year, filmed his final scenes before Christmas.
"Brax is still going to be a big part of the show for just about all of 2015," Peacocke said.
His departure signals a big shift in the show as he was the last of the original River Boys on Home And Away after Lincoln Younes and Dan Ewing finished up.
"It worked well because the three of us blokes acted well together," he said. "It brought something new and injected a different sort of edge into Home And Away.
"Every time I get a trade or a Garbo recognise me on the street, I think that wouldn't have happened six years ago. So many footballers and professional sports people love the show and I think we injected a bit of that inti it for the past four years."
Peacocke's departure means the lead hunk role has Ben handed to a new batch of males, including Kiwi George Mason. And of course, Brax's half brother, Kyle, played by Nick Westaway, remains integral to the show.
"Tai Hara is on there, as is Kyle Pryor and Nic Westaway, so there's plenty of good fellas to keep up the storylines for the blokes," he said.

I have liked the Braxtons but feel that Home and Away had turned a bit into the Braxton Show. I wish Steve and Bridgette good luck for their careers in Hollywood and hope that Home and Away now returns to the more traditional show it once was

I knew it was only a matter of time, so I`m not too disappointed. Brax was always my favourite, and I grew to like Heath and Casey too. But as soon as Heath went, I knew the others would follow.
I wonder if Kyle will stay? I can`t stand his singer girlfriend (whose name I can`t remember, and not caring enough to look), so if they both leave together I wouldn`t be sad at all. Oh yeah...Phoebe,
2015 will be the end of the Braxton era as we knew it. At least the make up staff won`t be spending too much time putting the fake tattoos on the Braxtons anymore. With all of Brax and Heaths inkings, it must`ve been a full time job.
:D

It's the end of the river boys. Can't say I didn't see that one coming.
I wonder what's going to happen to Ricky and the baby though...

Oh yeah I had temporarily forgotten about them.. Good thinking Nell. I hope Ricky doesn`t leave...I like her.
Although I was thinking maybe she`ll get with Nate, but I think the writing is on the wall for him to leave Summer Bay also to chase a Hollywood dream.
It seems to me lately that H&A is just a stop gap for actors to get some experience before heading to LA. Seems rather selfish in a way. I can understand their ambitions, but it`s a shame for the fans.

Home and Away's Brax will struggle to clear his name when he is suspected of murder in an upcoming storyline.

Scenes airing in Australia have already shown Brax (Steve Peacocke) and former prison friend Ash (George Mason) take a trip out of Summer Bay in an attempt to track down Ash's sister and her dangerous boyfriend Dean.

When Dean ends up getting killed by a barman named Sam during their stay there, the finger is later pointed at Brax, who had headed out into the desert alone in search of him.

As the investigation into Dean's death starts to lead the police to Brax, Ash offers to take the wrap, knowing his friend has a baby on the way.

However, as Ash's memories of the trip start to come flooding back, TV Week reports that he will piece important bits of information together, remembering that Sam held a huge grudge against Dean.

Although Ash hopes that this information is enough to clear Brax's name, new policewoman Katarina (Pia Miller) is less enthusiastic, reminding them that the police have already looked into Sam and he isn't considered a suspect.

With no help from the police, Brax and Ash feel they have little choice but to return to the bush to find Sam and extract a confession.

Home and Away fans in the UK will see Dean's murder next week on Channel 5.
