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".
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.'

'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.'
