When Braxton Ricky hooked up on home in a way,
0:02
more than a decade ago, they fast became fanfaves,
0:05
sharing incredible storylines
0:07
and having many memorable moments.
0:09
Bar, team 2016, the pair left the bay,
0:13
and we wanted if they'd ever come back.
0:15
Well, the good news is, this week, in fact, today, tonight,
0:21
The cops are looking for this guy.
0:23
He could leave them straight to us.
0:24
Not only let anyone put my family at risk, just stop!
0:28
I walked away from my son for this.
0:30
The event of Australia has been waiting for...
0:34
...on terrible way to go.
0:36
Braxton Ricky, are back.
0:39
Do you and I actually do have a lot of comedy?
0:41
I guess you're right. Not so different after all.
0:49
Before that... Sorry, I wasn't...
0:50
Oh, well, it's very emotional.
0:52
Don't you get like... It felt like your last breath.
0:55
We were happy to have them here in the studio. Hi, guys.
0:57
Hello. Hello. Hello.
0:58
This is Steve and Peacock, Bonnie and Steve.
0:59
Hello. Hello. Hello.
1:01
Hello. So, 10 years since you and Bonnie
1:03
drive off in the Commodore.
1:05
Yeah. And then you're back. Where are we going to find you tonight?
1:07
Yeah. You're going to find us the complete opposite side
1:10
of the country to some of you.
1:12
I was saying before, they drove into the sunset
1:14
and just kept going to lead the next coast on it.
1:16
And, yes, set up camp there.
1:18
And Braxton Ricky and Little Casey have got a good life
1:21
running a cattle station, and they get a bit of a knock on the door
1:25
from someone from some obeyed to see if they want to...
1:27
If Braxton wants to creep back into that world,
1:29
it's a bit of a jeopardy there.
1:31
There is. Everything's at stake.
1:33
Everything's at stake, yeah.
1:34
There's no way the Commodore made that trip.
1:36
Bonnie, Bonnie, it looks spectacular.
1:39
What was it like to film?
1:40
Because you had a pretty good location back here, of course.
1:42
What was it like to film that?
1:43
Oh, it was just beautiful. We got access to filming in Bullara Station,
1:48
which was gorgeous. Outback meets the ocean, meets the beach.
1:53
We filmed at Turquoise Bay, my new favourite beach,
1:56
Yachty Creek, at the Yachty Gorge.
1:59
It was just breathtaking, the most beautiful colours.
2:02
Wow, it looks like the drone gets a real workout in these episodes, yeah?
2:06
Yeah. Yeah, stunning sweeping shots.
2:08
Hey, we've been taking through the archives, Steve.
2:11
We've found your very first appearance ever on some obeyed.
2:15
This is 15 years ago, if you can believe it, let's take a look.
2:21
You did me a spitting last year.
2:23
That's right, cost me four hundred bucks.
2:25
What are you doing by the bar?
2:27
Are you on the cover, aye?
2:29
Big drug bust going down.
2:31
I don't want any trouble, you understand?
2:32
Don't get heavy, we're just a couple of lonely, unattached guys
2:36
coming to meet some single girls.
2:38
Oh, do you remember that was back in 2011?
2:41
Yeah, it was good even back then.
2:43
I've never been back.
2:45
Ah, you never remember that.
2:47
There are a lot of pauses in that delivery.
2:49
I remember I was like, yeah, what's it for pausing them?
2:51
I was like, because I was so nervous.
2:53
I don't remember what I was supposed to say.
2:55
Yeah, I remember that, I remember that very clearly.
2:57
It's funny, because I was saying before Braxton
2:59
he moved into some obeyed to muscle, this poor bloke,
3:02
Angelo out of his pizza restaurant.
3:04
And I think we probably muscleed a fourth generation cattle station owner
3:08
out of his cattle station.
3:10
That's what you do. That's what he does.
3:12
Nobody, you're not off the hook, of course.
3:14
We've got to take a look at something.
3:16
But did you remember what happened on your first day?
3:20
Yeah, do you remember your first appearance?
3:22
Oh, gosh, yes, I remember popping into Angelo's.
3:24
Oh, let's take it. Oh, are you okay?
3:28
I'm sorry, it's a private function.
3:30
Yeah, I saw the sign.
3:32
What the hell are you doing here?
3:34
I see if I wouldn't rock up to a Braxton engagement party.
3:49
It's actually the first thing that you shot,
3:51
because sometimes things are shot out of all time the way.
3:55
So it was actually the first thing you actually did as well.
3:57
The first things I filmed were actually up on Palm Beach, I believe.
4:01
And then, yes, there's my first studio in studio.
4:07
Hey, don't you think they're going to please make this start?
4:10
No way, guys, we've found some more.
4:12
You appear together on the cover of TV Week, many, many times.
4:15
I read your first cover together way back in 2014.
4:22
You haven't changed much.
4:23
I think that's what needs to be said.
4:24
No, I think I need to get my teeth wet and get in there with you.
4:29
What is about the longevity of these characters, do you think?
4:34
I think they were really well written straight off the bat.
4:36
I know, speaking personally, I think I just got very lucky
4:41
to have got one of the best written characters
4:44
that the show has had for a long time.
4:47
And we're talking about it before.
4:49
We both always came into work wanting our stuff to be really, really good.
4:52
And any job you get is as good as you make it.
4:56
And we just always got in there and wanted our story to be really good.
4:58
And if you ever are lucky enough to play character that finds a big audience
5:01
the way these ones, for whatever reason, did, you're grateful for it.
5:05
Because it doesn't happen all the time.
5:08
And this home and away audience has sort of followed us around to different jobs
5:11
and it's something we really appreciate.
5:14
I think Ricky and Brax both have been through a lot in their backstory
5:19
and people are barricading for them because they're working against the odds.
5:22
And now that they're out starting this new life in the cattle station,
5:27
they've seen a whole journey of what it took to get here
5:33
to a really stable, happy place.
5:35
That's relatable, right?
5:37
Guys, thank you very much for coming in.
5:38
Is there a special treat?
5:39
Please grab your bucket of salmon sperm on the way.
5:41
It's our way of saying thank you, Bonnie.
5:45
You can watch Brax and Ricky return to home and away tonight at 7pm right here
5:51
And you can see the spectacular WA scenery at the same time.
5:55
Just put a lid on it if you're putting in the car seat.
5:59
Does it keep in the car if we keep in the car if they're not going to go off of it?
6:03
I don't know about that.
6:04
I don't know about X-Men.
