Home and Away spoilers follow for Australian-paced episodes, which some UK viewers may prefer to avoid.

Home and Away has confirmed the exact date for Brax and Ricky’s long-awaited return to the soap. Last year, it was confirmed that the two characters will be making a comeback after a decade off screen, with Stephen Peacocke and Bonnie Sveen reprising their roles.

The pair will be back on screens as part of Tane Parata’s storyline, with the character set to go on the run after being framed by evil Kerrie. Mack gets her brother Dean to call up Brax, who is now living in the Western Australian outback. But will he help Tane disappear?

It’s now been confirmed that Brax and Ricky’s scenes will debut on Monday, 9 March for Australian viewers, while UK fans should expect it around Friday, 17 April by estimation of the transmission gap.

Addressing his character’s current status, Peacocke recently told TV Week: “For all his faults, Brax is always about his family and that has shifted now from his brothers to Ricky and Casey.

“He’s matured and is very protective of Casey and the life that they’ve got. He’s keeping Casey out of any kind of life that he grew up with, and he’s proud that he’s doing that.”
