Lacey receives a mysterious delivery. Alf attempts to mediate. Jo and Tane finally talk
Far away they've been hiding.
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 in a series of historic episodes filmed in Western Australia. After sharing some teaser pictures 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.
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.
A press release for the episode (via The West Australian) reads: "A world away from his surfer days in Summer Bay, Brax is now working on a remote cattle station deep in the outback.
"Brax, Ricky and their son Casey have quietly built a whole new life in hiding, far-removed from the chaos they left behind.
But the peaceful existence they’ve managed to maintain is about to come to an abrupt end, when a crisis from the Bay finds its way to Brax’s doorstep.
"While Ricky sees danger in jeopardising the trouble-free life they’ve worked so hard to protect, Brax finds himself torn between keeping his family safe and his loyalty to his River Boy brothers."
Brax and Ricky were last seen in 2016 when they left Summer Bay and drove off into the sunset with their son Casey.
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.
"When the producers asked if I'd revisit Brax, it felt like a fun opportunity – and one I think the audience will really enjoy. Filming in spectacular outback Western Australia is the icing on the cake."
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".
Wednesday 4th February Episode 8650 Lacey receives a mysterious delivery. Alf attempts to mediate. Jo and Tane finally talk.
Mali and Abigail assess their love. Leah makes an announcement. Will David have a change of heart?
Alissa Fay has come under fire after her wild display at her wedding to David Momoh on Monday's premiere episode of Married At First Sight.
The 33-year-old Adelaide nurse and aspiring influencer has been branded an
'actress' by fans of the show after she refused to marry David until he got
down on bended knee and proposed to her at the altar.
'Great actress,' commented one person on the official
MAFS Instagram page, while another agreed, 'And the Golden Globe goes
to... Good actress. Run man run.'
Someone else added: 'I swear this show only
finds wannabe actresses.'
'Where do they find these girls?' asked one
fan, with another replying, 'Talent (cough) agencies. Good for a laugh
though.'
'She is a wannabe actress, Home and Away here
we come!!!' said someone else, with one more added: 'Acting gig this was for
her.'
The 33-year-old Adelaide nurse and aspiring influencer has been branded an 'actress' by fans of the show after she refused to marry David until he got down on bended knee and proposed to her at the altar
'Take it from me, trying this hard to be 'iconic' or a 'femboss' or any other acting role, will have you dunked in humble pie,' he wrote on Instagram.
The fans had some advice for David after the disastrous wedding - with dozens of comments across social media on Tuesday consisting of one word: 'Run!'
David and Alissa left fans at home covering their eyes and cringing after high-energy nurse Alissa refused to say 'I do' before David got down on one knee and proposed.
That led to a protracted segment in which David, a rapper and e-commerce manager from Brisbane, tried to tactfully refuse the wild demand.
Just moments into the ceremony, as the celebrant asked if there was any reason the couple should not be joined in marriage, Alissa abruptly interrupted proceedings.
'I can't marry you until you drop to one knee and propose to me,' she then told the stunned groom.
The unexpected demand left guests visibly confused and David unsure whether the moment was part of the experiment.
'I can't tell if you're being serious,' he admitted, as murmurs spread through the crowd and friends questioned the painfully awkward scene unfolding at the altar.
Alissa insisted she needed the gesture to feel chosen and secure, explaining it was something she had waited for her whole life, and that she wanted a man who would fully commit to her.
David hesitated, later admitting the situation was uncomfortable and triggered old wounds about being 'too nice' in relationships.
However, he ultimately relented - but later admitted that Alissa's behaviour at the wedding ceremony had been a 'red flag'.
Viewers tuning in at home agreed, with many declaring that it was the most awkward wedding in the show's history.
'The second-hand embarrassment is real. I would leave if I were him,' wrote one person on X.
Another said: 'This is the most awkward and vile viewing I think I've ever seen.'
Is love in the air?
An emotional new story in Home and Away will see newcomer Holden Dwyer face an awkward moment with Lacey Miller as he settles into life in Summer Bay.
Lach Millar, who previously starred in rival Australian soap Neighbours as Richie Amblin, joined the cast of Home and Away last year as Holden.
While dealing with his grief, he has sought comfort in Lacey, with a close friendship blossoming under the tragic circumstances.
But Holden is starting to feel more than just a friendship towards Lacey, and in scenes airing in Australia, he surprises her with an impromptu meeting at the Surf Club.
He signs up for surf lessons, hoping to get closer to Lacey, but is disappointed when he finds out that, actually, Mali Hudson will be his teacher.
Things become awkward when Lacey reiterates to Hudson that she just wants to be friends, but will this deter him in his quest for love?
"She feels for him, and there’s a bit of trauma bond after he lost his friend in the train crash and she lost Theo."
She added: "Lacey just sees it as part of his grief. Mali sees the red flags, but she understands what Holden is going through, so brushes past these moments."
It's a dramatic week in Summer Bay...
UK viewers of Home and Away will finally be getting their first look at a new character, with Kerrie Matheson due to arrive in Summer Bay next week. The character, who is portrayed by Sara Wiseman, is the mother of Harper and Dana.
In scenes set to air from Wednesday to Friday (11 to 13 February), Tane and Harper will continue to disagree over the living arrangements of their son, Archie. Harper wants full custody, and will only grant Tane a visit every second weekend.
Dana later speaks to Harper, and explains that Tane loves Archie just as much as she does. Despite acknowledging that his anger wasn't the best course of action, she said it was merely a consequence of an unfair custody arrangement.
Dana subsequently invites Harper and Archie to live with her and Sonny, reasoning that they can't stay in a motel any longer. Harper and Tane also thaw out their issues, and agree to an equal custody arrangement for Archie.
Kerrie maintains that she wants to reconnect with her family following years of addiction trouble, but Harper insists that they don't get ahead of themselves. Though she wants to forgive her mother, she refuses to promise anything.
Harper pops into town and urges Kerrie to stay in the motel room, though she ignores this request. Harper doesn't tell Dana that their mother is back in town - but it doesn't matter either way, as Dana later locks eyes with Kerrie.
Tane also discovers this fact, and heads to Harper to tell her that he isn't best pleased by Kerrie's arrival. She says that it wasn't planned, and also chastises her mother for not staying in the motel room as instructed.
Kerrie twigs that Tane is the reason why she won't be allowed to visit Archie, and begs her family to reconsider. Harper gives in, and Tane is later told by Dana that Kerrie will be meeting his son.
This leads to him making a dramatic move, as he disappears with Archie. Dana remains tight-lipped, but Harper and Kerrie band together as they agree that Tane has taken things a step too far. Could legal action be on the way?
