Ray Meagher, renowned for his portrayal of Alf Stewart on the Australian soap opera “Home and Away,” is advocating for the return of his co-star Stephen Peacocke. Peacocke, who reprised his role as Darryl ‘Brax’ Braxton, recently shared the screen with Meagher in a heartfelt reunion.
Support for Character Return
Following Brax’s departure in a recent episode, Meagher expressed his desire to see Peacocke’s character return to the show. He remarked, “We can’t get him back soon enough,” indicating enthusiasm for future appearances. However, he acknowledged that the return of Peacocke’s character Ricky, as well as their son Casey, might take some time.
Friendship and Onscreen Chemistry
Meagher and Peacocke enjoyed their time together during Brax’s comeback. The duo has built a strong friendship over the years. Meagher noted, “We always have a good yarn, and he’s just world class.” Their shared backgrounds as bushmen from Queensland and New South Wales, along with their history as former rugby players, have strengthened their bond.
Recent Developments in Summer Bay
Brax’s recent return saw him confront changes in Summer Bay. Upon arriving, he discovered that the River Boys gang, once led by him, had transformed into a vigilante group causing chaos in the town. Looking to clear his mind, Brax encountered Alf while fishing, leading to a nostalgic moment between the two characters.
