Home and Away spoilers<\/a> follow for Australian-paced episodes, which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.<\/p>\n

Home and Away has revealed more details about the return of Darryl “Brax” Braxton and Ricky Sharpe<\/a> to Summer Bay. In scenes that have already aired in Australia, the fan-favourite couple returned to screens in a special segment filmed in Western Australia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It comes a decade after Brax faked his own death in a bid to escape his criminal past and start a new life with Ricky and their baby. They were first reintroduced into the show after receiving a call from Dean Thompson to house Tane Parata<\/a>, who was facing drug charges in Summer Bay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Former River Boy leader Brax agreed, knowing the heartache of being convicted for a crime he didn’t commit. He had previously been sentenced to 20 years behind bars for the death of Dean Sanderson, which led him to escape and go into hiding.<\/p>\n

With Brax seemingly in the clear after Dean’s real killer confessed, he and Ricky have lived happily ever after in isolation, but a new teaser from the Australian soap shows the couple are set to return to “where they belong” in Summer Bay.<\/p>\n

“I wish we could stop looking over our shoulder,” Ricky says in a clip posted to Instagram<\/a>. Speaking about their son, Brax says: “Casey is growing up so fast. Don’t you feel like he deserves a normal life?”<\/p>\n

Ricky then asks if this could be a chance for them to “finally clear” Brax’s name and “have their lives back”.<\/p>\n

Brax goes on to say that he is “so tired of hiding”, while Ricky points out that the family “could lose everything”.<\/p>\n

“Don’t you want to get back to The Bay?” Brax asks, before they are seen driving past the Summer Bay sign with Casey in tow. <\/p>\n

Ricky actor Bonnie Sveen previously revealed that she and Brax’s Stephen Peacocke would not be back in the soap for good<\/a>, so their stint in Summer Bay will be brief.<\/p>\n

“There’s a possibility of it, but I don’t know if I can give an answer to that one,” she said. “I felt a really beautiful dynamic working with Steve again because he’s such a good person and a beautiful actor to work against. It would be amazing to revisit.”<\/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
