LauraPhilly!! Posted July 5, 2011 Report Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) It was too scary for me to and a reminder that no matter how much people change, they can easily fall back into old ways. There'll always be a danger with Brax that he'll rely on these things in tough times. That's kinda what I'm afraid of too... I don't like that Brax...the Brax that gets people to do what he wants through fear and threats! It worries me for Charlie's sake...what if he ever treats her like this! She doesn't deserve it and that what would worry me a little about their relationship - this scary side of Brax! It has surfaced more than once and he does not seem regretful about it! I really don't like it at all...but unfortunately I don't think it's something that can be changed! It is most likely just a trait that he has that can't be changed! Or maybe it can be but just Brax doesn't seem to think its wrong or has a problem with it...?! Edited July 5, 2011 by LauraPhilly!! Quote
Julez Posted July 5, 2011 Report Posted July 5, 2011 It has surfaced more than once and he does not seem regretful about it! Yeah, he uses it as a 'last resort' but he still uses it. I guess it makes me more sympathetic to those who have basically said that if Brax wants out of the gang, he should just leave! He seems to want the bets of both worlds - the morality of a good guy life but the 'perks' of a bad boy life. What is he waiting for? Quote
DocZed64 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 I like that question Julez.. What is he waiting for? There is something. It can be achieved in a few years lol once he has gotten rid of his "bags" I agree that he hasn't showed any sign so far of wanting out! It is definitely clear he wants to be with Charlie and she is making it difficult for him to lie by being on his tail. But if anything I feel bad for Heath as he is just really good at getting caught. But he is the shield between Charlie figuring out the real-Brax. I do agree he is scary with Tegan, however I really think that is more to do with the type of person she is. He treats her the same way he treats other Mangrove River Boys because he knows that if they aren't in line they are out of control and real-trouble. If he wasn't so harsh with Tegan then surely she would have made Charlie's life difficult and he knew that. So on a bright note to the scary side - his intentions were good right?! This is a case of there is a fine line between good and bad and how far is going to far Quote
Whitney Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 I loved seeing Brax act tough. Seeing the different sides of his personality allows us to get to know him. And Steve did an excellent job. Shows the effect that Charlie has on Brax that he is not that kind of man around her. HIs intentions with the threat was protecting him and Charlie. That shows he has true and deep feelings for her. I think we will continue to see him struggle with his feelings. Cant believe he was jogging yesterday. Where did that come from, and can Charlie join?? Maybe then she can learn to surf. Quote
Red Ranger 1 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 I think it's a bit rose-tinted to say Brax was doing it for "the right reasons":He was just doing it to protect himself and by extention Charlie.That's hardly any different from bullying people to keep Heath out of jail.Maybe he does it in a different way but he is willing to threaten Summer Bay types. He intimidated Romeo and even put Casey's education at risk to get Miles to drop the charges against Heath, he certainly had no problem showing his dark side with Angelo.And he did threaten Charlie, when she wanted to charge Casey with breaking into that guy's house and he told her he'd drop Ruby in it as well if she did.Would he get heavy with Charlie?Hmm.If he's willing to slap Heath around, quite possibly, if he felt it was his only option.

Whitney Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 I dont think he would ever be violent towards her, or threaten Charlie in any way. Doesnt seem in his nature. He wouldnt do it to his mom, he wouldnt do it to her. NO WAY. Quote
lollypop Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 When you're talking about someone who can be as dangerous as Brax can, never say never. Charlie and Brax are still in the "honeymoon" stages of their affair, who knows what could happen if the novelty wears off. Quote
LauraPhilly!! Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 ^^I very much agree with you! And that is really what I am afraid of! That the moments things get tough between Charlie and Brax, that Brax's temper and threatening ways may surface in their relationship! I don't trust Brax...not sure whether I will either unless he changes his ways... Quote
Whitney Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 Sorry but I dont see that happening. He may get mad, but never rough towards her. Quote
Red Ranger 1 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 There's a lot of things that, a few months ago, we wouldn't have imagined Brax doing:Trafficking drugs, ordering people beaten up, carrying guns around.And turns out he does do all those things. Saying that your guy will beat up other people but not you is often the first step to becoming an abused wife.I think, in the right set of circumstances, Brax is quite capable of getting rough with Charlie.
