I think you make some good points however why do people always feel everything Heath does is Brax's fault - Heath is an adult and he actually brings alot of these situations on himself and his family and others do the cleaning up - the whole jake saga started because heath ripped off his plantation and the story grew from there - I remember Brax telling him not to go there and that's just one example. If you have never lived this sort of life you may not fully understand and have empathy for people who have and i am hoping as time goes on we get to see alot more of the back story behind the Braxton bros. I am not making excuses for him and as an actor I think H & A struck gold finding him he is absolutely brilliant and obviously playing the character well or we would not be reading all the for and against him comments. I do have compassion for him as if you are brought up in this type of world then yes you live it and it is not easy to exit this lifestyle - just my thoughts anyway. There will always be characters in soap shows that the audience dislikes and that is a good thing from a female perspective I absolutely hated Amanda there's a name for a woman like that - although not a criminal she slept with her daughter's b/f for FS and there is no excuse for that but she was really sorry and her characer was portrayed as becoming this nice person and she was going to play happy families the happy ending with Peter etc. well I still hated her but she portrayed her bitch character well and I still wanted to see what the future was going to bring to her - you don't want to love everyone! The witers have done this to his character and he as an actor is GOLD and plays the part he is given I think really well. Of course the writers are going to keep this running for as long as possible with the bad boys of Summer bay it is the highest rated show in the 7 o'clock timeslot and was for most of last year so they will not jepordise that. I don't think we are ever going to see brax without his edgy/dodgy side that is what he is there for and i think we all need to see the show for what it is - a tv soap opera and over the years I have seen many soap shows where someone is murdered/hurt and the culprit gets away with it - its just the world of soap. I think Steve is an outstanding actor and channel 7 struck gold when they found him every part of his character he portrays well and that is what he is meant to do - and before I am slammed this is my opinion only.

It makes sense - I want to see the back story of Brax and his brothers and why he chose the path he did in life - more about his mum and his dad etc. and a bad upbringing does not excuse bad behaviour but it makes you understand why people make the choices they make. Mind you I am over the whole epic relationship stories then the death that always seems to follow - it's boring.

I do too they were and will always be my fav Home and Away couple ever! and I personally absolutely hated it when they paired Aden with Nicole it was just not right - but that's right another fantastic couple where one is KILLED off - so over it they need new writers just so we get something different.

Bianca is acting like a hypocrit at the moment - and her actions are only making herself feel better imo! I'm sorry, I don't agree....... Brax and Charlie dragged her and Liam into their whole twisted lives of lies and deception, she has every right to act how she is. Her actions are completely justified in my eyes. Bianca would never let herself go and completely act like like a brainless twat the way Charlie has done, and for that I am grateful. That's cool Kevin you don't have to agree but 'hypocrit' - that is exactly what I think about Bianca acting all goody goody like she is perfect and never done anything wrong and you don't think sleeping around with Heath doesn't make her just like Charlie - well to me it actually makes her worse as she knew all along she did not have emotional feelings for him and let it happen on more than one occassion but like I said just my opinion.

Love your forum name - ha ha ha - if you are out of date then I am ancient I can still remember watching the very first episode of Home and Away and think I have only missed about a dozen eps over all those years - LOL!!!!!!

I don't think you have said too much to disagree with I pretty well agree with the majority of what you have said !!! Charlie is a cop and most of the time a control freak - but first and foremost Charlie is a woman and that is what I am enjoying seeing from her at the moment - she isn't always in control and that's because she is in LOVE and she is not in total control of this relationship - and Brax actually acts like a man (criminal or not) with her and he pushes her buttons and I love to see Charlie laugh and smile and actually act like a person who is in love - not just Charlie being a cop !

What you see as complex I see as inconsistent..... Just out of curiosity have you been watching since Charlie arrived....or another new viewer drawn in by the Chax stuff ? Well Whitney I am with you - what was once imo a very 'cold' character has actually shown the woman in Charlie and not just the cop. I love seeing Charlie smile and the emtions both good and bad- fabulous acting by both characters and I think these 2 characters have the most amazing on screen chemistry - and just so you know kevin I have been watching since day one back in the floss & neville days so......what's your point to that question?

Me too Whitney absolutely loving it - it's been a great year and I actually look forward to 7.00pm now at night not having to sit and put up with the crap we had to endure last year BORING!!!! - I sit, relax and watch me fav show now once again.

Welcome back - thought you weren't gonna watch for a while????? Lovin Charlie and Brax - it's only tv not the real world!!!! He might look smug but he is HOT!!!!!!! I haven't been watching...this is purely based on what I've already seen and the spoilers I've read!! Feels weird not watching Home and Away on a regular basis!! Glad to see you are still interested even if you aren't watching!!!!! couldn't do it myself after all it is only a tv show and not real life and people should not have problems differentiating between a tv show and real life drama.

Welcome back - thought you weren't gonna watch for a while????? Lovin Charlie and Brax - it's only tv not the real world!!!! He might look smug but he is HOT!!!!!!!

You crack me up - LOL!!!!!!!! and I thought she was just gonna make him a fruit salad - LOL!!! no not really - the fruit is the clue to the big mystery - DNA found on an apple and the witch brings a box of fruit with her to Brax's - pretty obvious she is setting him up!!!!!!!

Well said Doc - Charlie has rejected him so may times now and always puts her career before her 'Lover' which she has every right to do but she can't have it both ways she either wants him or she doesn't. I am not happy he slept with rat girl as just because someone throws themselves at you doesn't mean you have to take it however he's a guy and that's what they do sometimes to them it's just sex. I jsut want the LAZY writers to give us something new with this couple instead of the same old predictable crap we see with every great couple on H & A - always the same just different people - over it!!!!!!
