Home and Away spoilers<\/a> follow.
<\/p>\n

Home and Away fans are eagerly awaiting the return of fan favourite characters Darryl ‘Brax’ Braxton and Ricky Sharpe, who will be back on our screens<\/a> in a series of historic episodes filmed in Western Australia. After sharing some teaser pictures<\/a> of the pair, played by Stephen Peacocke and Bonnie Sveen, on set last October the soap has now dropped a new teaser trailer, showing fans what they can expect from the episodes. <\/p>\n

Opening with stunning landscape shots, and text reading “far away they’ve been hiding”, Brax and Ricky are shown with their now adolescent son living an idyllic life.<\/p>\n

However we’re soon warned that their “perfect escape is about to end,” as an angry Ricky is heard telling Brax: “We’re your family now, this is where your loyalty should be.”<\/p>\n

A press release for the episode (via The West Australian<\/a>) reads: “A world away from his surfer days in Summer Bay, Brax is now working on a remote cattle station deep in the outback.<\/p>\n

“Brax, Ricky and their son Casey have quietly built a whole new life in hiding, far-removed from the chaos they left behind.<\/p>\n

“But the peaceful existence they\u2019ve managed to maintain is about to come to an abrupt end, when a crisis from the Bay finds its way to Brax\u2019s doorstep.<\/p>\n

“While Ricky sees danger in jeopardising the trouble-free life they\u2019ve worked so hard to protect, Brax finds himself torn between keeping his family safe and his loyalty to his River Boy brothers.”<\/p>\n

Brax and Ricky were last seen in 2016 when they left Summer Bay and drove off into the sunset with their son Casey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking about his return to the soap last year, Peacocke said: “I’ll always be grateful to Home and Away for being the launchpad to my career, and I’ve got a sincere appreciation for the fans who’ve followed my work since.<\/p>\n

“When the producers asked if I’d revisit Brax, it felt like a fun opportunity \u2013 and one I think the audience will really enjoy. Filming in spectacular outback Western Australia is the icing on the cake.”<\/p>\n

There’s no word yet on when the special episodes will air, with the official word from the soap being that they’re “coming soon”.<\/p>\n

Home and Away drops new episodes on weekdays at 6am on 5\u2019s streaming service with a 6.30pm screening on 5STAR. Selected classic episodes are available via Prime Video<\/a> in the UK.<\/p>\n

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