Brax

Home and Away's Brax faces a testing time next month as the day of his sentencing arrives for the murder of Johnny Barrett.

The Braxtons are determined to drop previous tensions and awkwardness and act like a family in order to get through the day, but they are left devastated when the court sentences Brax to 15 years in prison.

As Brax (Steve Peacocke) is led outside the court, Josh (Jackson Gallagher) tries to stop Andy from shooting Brax. However, they are both shocked to discover the gun is missing.

It soon becomes apparent that a grief-stricken Debbie Barrett has lifted the gun from them and goes to shoot her husband's killer.

As she prepares to fire, Josh jumps in her way in order to save Brax, and Debbie is devastated to realise that she has accidentally shot her son.

While everyone rushes to Josh's aid, Brax orders Ricky to look after him, before being dragged into the police truck, unable to help.

Home and Away airs these scenes on Wednesday, December 11 at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5.

Home and Away star Steve Peacocke has revealed that he has no immediate plans to leave the soap.

The actor, who plays Summer Bay's Brax, said that he loves the show and is happy to stay for the foreseeable future.

Dan Ewing, who plays Brax's brother Heath, confirmed last year that he would be bowing out of the show, and hinted that the rest of the Braxton brothers could be doing the same.

Speaking to the Herald Sun, Peacocke said: "Anyone who knows me knows how much I love the job, so I'd love to stay as long as I can.

"[Leaving] is not even a conversation I've had with the production. I'm so blasé about these things I don't even know when my contract's supposed to finish, whereas other people are itching to get out.

"If Home and Away let me go off, if I'm lucky enough to get more film work, if I can take time off to do that and come back, I'd always be happy to do that."

Speaking about what is coming up next for Brax, Peacocke said: "Brax is in jail and in his mind he's going to be there for the foreseeable future."

He continued: "Brax sees himself as a burden on his brothers and a burden on Ricky so he thinks the best thing he can do is cut himself off from everyone.

"He realises he will never be able to convince his brothers and Ricky not to come and see him so he applies for a transfer to another prison and doesn't let anyone know. He thinks that will allow them to go about their lives and get on with things."

Peacocke also heaped praise upon his co-star Lincoln Younes, who plays younger Braxton brother Casey.

"I particularly like working with Lincoln because he takes the job so seriously. He's an ambitious young fella," Peacocke added. "Every day I go to work with him I know he's going to be on the money with what he brings.

"Home and Away can be anything you want to make it. People who don't take it seriously won't last very long."

Home and Away star Steve Peacocke has said that this year will be big for the Braxton family.

The actor's character Brax is currently serving time in jail after confessing to a crime from his past, but Peacocke has hinted that it won't stay that way for long.

Speaking to Yahoo TV, he said: "For Brax, it will be a big year because somehow he gets out of jail. For Heath, it is going to be a big year because he is in a lot of trouble with his wife Bianca.

"Casey has got himself a new girl. We all find out an interesting fact about our dad and in particular relation to Casey. Kyle finds himself a crazy girl called Phoebe who keeps him and all of us on our toes."

Peacocke also revealed that a new storyline coming up for the Braxton and Barrett brothers will be his biggest one to date.

He said: "The Barrett boys are causing a lot of trouble with our family as per usual. They've got a particularity big impact on our family this year.

"Brax sees a photo in Josh's wallet and he thinks it looks out of place in his wallet. It makes him wonder what it is doing there and he investigates it and it leads to a pretty big revelation about the relationship between the two families. It causes a lot of angst and a lot of drama and a pretty big revelation for Casey.

"The storyline I am most looking forward to, we haven't started shooting it yet, but it will be the biggest storyline that I have been involved in and it has got a lot to do with Brax and Casey. It's going to be huge."

I love the spoiler for what is coming up for the Braxtons. Now I want to know what will be filmed later on that will be big.

Home and Away star Steve Peacocke has said that his character Brax's return to Summer Bay will 'blow his family away'.

Viewers know that Brax is currently serving time in prison after he confessed to killing Johnny Barrett years ago.

However, when Adam confesses that it was him who killed Johnny after all, Brax is released from prison and heads back to Summer Bay.

Peacocke said toTV Week: "After Casey and Ricky lean on Adam to confess, Adam's conscience gets the better of him and he eventually comes clean.

"We discover Brax didn't actually kill Johnny - it was Adam. That's the revelation that gets him out of jail.

"His brothers are blown away. It's completely unexpected. Even in the short time Brax has been away, the power has shifted in the Braxton family. He's come home to a very different house to the one he left."

Brax is set to face further problems when he discovers that his former girlfriend Ricky has moved on with newcomer Nate.

Peacocke said: "He thought he was protecting her by cutting her loose. Even though he understands it, he wishes it wasn't that way.

"When Brax and Ricky do meet up, it's both bittersweet and awkward. They are happy to see each other, but things are different. Too much has happened for them to go back to the way they were.

"Over the next few months audiences will see just how persistent Brax can be."

Home and Away star Steve Peacocke is engaged to his long-time girlfriend Bridgette Sneddon, it has been confirmed.

The couple have been together since 2005 and are also now co-stars on the Summer Bay soap as Sneddon joined the cast late last year.

Steve Peacocke and Bridgette Sneddon

Rumours of the pair's happy news first circulated earlier this week, but it was finally confirmed on Home and Away's official website today (March 7).

A post on the site read: "It's true - we can confirm that Steve Peacocke and Bridgette Sneddon are engaged."

The actors first met while working together in drama school. While Peacocke has been busy with his soap commitments in recent years, Sneddon has concentrated on stage work.

Peacocke joined the cast of Home and Away in late 2010 and first appeared on screen as Brax in February the following year.

Sneddon's casting in the show was announced last December. While her first scenes are yet to air, it has been confirmed that she is playing the role of Sophie Taylor, a newcomer with a connection to the Bay.

Speaking to the Herald Sun last year, Sneddon commented: "It's been odd not seeing each other in the last three years after working together so much [during drama school]. I've just seen how much he loves his job and loves going up to Palm Beach.

"If he could do this job for the rest of his life, he'd be a happy man. He's just excited I get to experience that and likewise, I'm thrilled to be doing it."

Home and Away's Brax will be blackmailed by Andy Barrett when the bad boy discovers the truth about Casey's paternity.

Viewers in Australia have already seen Brax learn that Casey's real father is Johnny Barrett, making him a half-sibling of Barrett brothers Andy and Josh.

Although Brax tries his best to keep the shocking revelation under wraps as he doesn't want to upset Casey, it's not long before Andy finds out the truth for himself.

Tai Hara, who plays Andy, told TV Week: "It's the last thing Andy expected. It's a kick in the guts, especially considering the bad blood between the families.

"Andy is so protective of Josh and their relationship. Anything that could damage it in any way is scary for him."

When Andy later realises this could be a lucrative opportunity, he insists that he will only keep quiet if Brax pays him $5,000.

Hara added: "As far as Andy is concerned, Casey is not family. So he sees this as an opportunity to make some money."

Feeling backed into a corner, Brax agrees to the deal with Andy, but there is a further twist when Josh overhears their conversation and also discovers the secret.

Home and Away fans will find out whether Josh tells Casey the truth when the scenes air next week in Australia and in May on Channel 5 in the UK.

Over on Home and Away, a big new storyline begins for the Braxtons and the Barretts as Brax makes a shocking discovery.

When Josh and Andy Barrett go through the belongings of their late father Johnny, they find several photographs, including one of a baby.

While neither of the brothers know who the baby is, Brax (Steve Peacocke) is intrigued as he recognises the photo and snatches it when the Barretts aren't looking.

Later, Brax finds the exact same photo in his mother Cheryl's house, which confirms his belief that the baby is Casey.

With Brax suspicious, Cheryl is forced to admit that Johnny is Casey's father, making him a Barrett…
