One of Home and Away’s most iconic couples are set to make a high-profile return to the soap 10 years after their last appearance – with Stephen Peacocke and Bonnie Sveen confirmed to reprise their roles as Darryl ‘Brax’ Braxton and Erica ‘Ricky’ Sharpe.

The pair will be back for a “landmark event” that is set to take place in 2026, in partnership with Tourism Western Australia.

According to a release, the event “will reveal where life has taken Brax and Ricky since 2016, delivering high-stakes drama and emotional payoffs set against a stunning backdrop of WA’s rugged outback.”

“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,” Peacocke said in a statement.

“When the producers asked if I’d revisit Brax, it felt like a fun opportunity – and one I think the audience will really enjoy.”

Meanwhile, Sveen said that the chance to return as Ricky “wasn’t something I’d ever expected” but that she was “beyond thrilled” to reunite with old friends on the soap.

“Exploring where Ricky and Brax are now, 10 years on, will make for a very special and compelling storyline – and I can’t wait for our WA filming adventure,” she said.

Fans will remember Brax as the charismatic leader of the River Boys and Ricky as the no-nonsense woman who became the love of his life, with the pair last seen driving off into the sunset in 2016.
