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

Home and Away has brought back a fan-favourite couple on Aussie screens earlier this week, as star Bonnie Sveen reveals whether Ricky and Brax<\/a> could return to the soap in a more permanent capacity.<\/p>\n

The series aired a first in its 38 years on the air as it moved the action to Western Australia, where fans were reunited with Sveen’s Ricky and Brax, played by Stephen Peacocke, a decade after they fled Summer Bay with their baby.<\/p>\n

The pair now lives a more lowkey life on a cattle station, but are roped back into the old dynamics when a friend asks for a favour. <\/p>\n

“It’s a much more isolated life than they had in the Bay and they’re just in a great place in life. Ricky has softened over the years because of motherhood, and there’s a lot less drama in her life,” Sveen told Who<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“She’s let her guard down and then hears that Dean Thompson is asking for a favour from Brax to house a fugitive,” Sveen said. ‘The stakes couldn’t be higher.”<\/p>\n

Despite playing a dramatic storyline, Sveen explained her return to set was emotional as she reunited not just with Peacocke, but “with old crew friends”.<\/p>\n

“Over the course of that decade away, you have no choice but to let things go, so I shut it out of my mind,” she said. “Returning never seemed likely.<\/p>\n

“Then, actually stepping foot in the location of remote WA was next level. I channelled my emotions into the scenes because I was feeling it.”<\/p>\n

As the scenes are set to hit UK screens on 5 next month, Sveen has weighed in on whether we could see more of Ricky and Brax in the future. <\/p>\n

“There’s a possibility of it, but I don’t know if I can give an answer to that one,” she said. <\/p>\n

“If Home and Away lines up in the future\u2026 I felt a really beautiful dynamic working with Steve again because he’s such a good person and a beautiful actor to work against.
<\/p>\n

“It would be amazing to revisit.” <\/p>\n

Home and Away drops new episodes on weekdays at 6am on 5’s 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
