Casey Braxton - Lincoln Younes

[MatildaHunterFan]

OK, thank you for all your replies, I read it in TV Week too.

I think Casey has grown a lot in 2011, it was a big year for him.

When he came to the bay, I thought he was just another River Boy, no different to his brothers, but he, in fact, IS different. Not only in the way he's treating peolpe but everything else, too. The relationship with Ruby has made him, I guess, like a hundered times stronger and maturer. He's really struggling to fit in the whole RB/school/Ruby-thing which I think is absolutely understandable for a character like him. He doesn't know where he belongs and I think that's portrayed really well by Lincoln. He's not just a normal schoolkid like Xavier, his character has real depth and I think that's what makes him special. His relationship with Ruby is really important to keep him out of trouble because Casey cares a lot about her and she has a strong influence on him, which makes him a bit less vulnerable, I guess. She's the one he almost always lets in and she can really get through to him, which, I think, is not the case with many people. The writers have given him some great storylines over the past year and I'd like to think that they will continue some, like what Casey expirienced in juvie. Casey should definitely have another adult influence other than Brax and his mother Cheryl. Brax kept on telling him that he's not a River Boy the whole year, that was great of him but how should Casey understand that if for exaple Heath then asks him to convince Romeo to give them the boat for a day. Maybe he could make friends with Roo, I mean she helped Sasha and if she could help Sasha, then why not Casey? The most important influence Casey needs is an adult he can rely on, no matter what. Ruby has been great to him and I think she's a big part of the reason why didn't turn his back on school and everything important. She's the stable aspect in his life at the moment, I think,

because if Charlie dies (or not), the promo has shown Brax...well, not very strong, in fact, he acted irrationaland unpredictable (not that I can't understand where he's coming from

but Casey needs someone (maybe Leah.....she's great for Ruby and he gets along pretty well with her........).

Let's see what the new year holds for Casey. I guess he will have some really challenging storylines because Lincoln showed us during the last year that he's got what it takes to do a huge storyline like Rebecca did the Charlie/Ruby mother-daughter-storyline in 2009, which was great to watch, so maybe he will have a storyline that intense, challenging, affective and important for the future.

Agree with everything you said. Not only in Home and Away has Lincoln shown what a great actor he is but also when he plays Romeo in Tangle. He's amazing in both shows.

Love them so much. Even though it's obvious they will go through a tough time and break up, I do hope they will eventually get back together.

[Danni02]

I can't seem to warm to Casey. I just don't like him at all. So, I'm actually hoping if he and Ruby do break up that it's for good. I love her and hate him, so not a fan of that pairing. He's also only been with Ruby since he came to the bay (besides his kiss with Summer) so I think it would be interesting to see him with someone else. Not sure he'd fit with April or Sasha

and pretty sure Sasha will get with Xavier

, and hoping that Dex and April get back together, so maybe bringing in a new character for him could be intersting.

I like Casey and I like Ruby but I do think the relationship's run its course:They got together when they were both in a pretty lonely place and they probably need to take a step back and work out why they're together.I won't be too disappointed if they stay together(I'll be a lot more disappointed if Dexter and April get back together, pairing them up was the wrong choice for both characters in my opinion)and it sounds like they could be heading for a dark time and may well need each other. But I would like them to reach the point where they can see if they can stand apart.

[shelly25]

I was postive that Casey and Ruby would be fine but not feeling like it now

[shelly25]

So Lincoln has revealled that Casey goes through some dark changes but do you think that necessairly means he becomes a bad guy? I was just thinking he might become depressed and angry with getting some sort of post traumatic stress from being in juvie?

how is long Lincoln's contract for? My friend said 2 years but I had read someone's post on this forum said 3 years.

No idea sorry

Still loving Casey and Ruby

glad he was there to support Ruby and help her make the right decision and talk some sense into Brax

Wonder what's next for Casey and Ruby.

Case was AMAZING tonight. He put himself in harms way to reason with his brother, his delivery of 'what are you doing Brax?' the way his voice broke, Lincoln was INCREDIBLE as ever. I can not wait to see the next tough months he's going to find caught between his big brother and father figure and his girlfriend, the love of his life. So excited to see what Lincoln does with the material he is so strong.
