Darryl 'Brax' Braxton - Steve Peacocke

It does seem one here there seems to be a Braxton Lovers vs Braxton Dislikers/Haters. They would be a lot better if they were written better and had not taken over the show like they did.

It's all a matter of a time and a place. The Braxton takeover was most welcome in late 2012 when Adam was on the show due to how powerful and well written the storylines were. However, it is 2015 now, and it is time to move on. I don't understand why there had to be another "Brax in jail" storyline at the moment.

I understand why Brax is back in jail for his exit I always thought when the Braxtons exits came around that there would have been one of the brothers with a happy ending one of them would die and the other in prison, and lets face it Brax was always going to be the one who ended up in prison.

I think the probelm is though nobody really cares about the reason Brax is there. Going down for the murder of a character that none of us really cared about and was only ever in the show for like one episode.

Brax having meet random people like Ash who is said to be his best mate but never mentioned untill he came looking for Billie.

Brax thinking he killed Johnny for years but he had seemed to forget about has only helped Brax turn laughable. which is a shame because when the Braxton characters stories seemed as if they had had some forward planning and plot devlopment they were great. But in their final time stories have seemed to have been thrown together last minute

I think they were always going to cause polarised views because they have been such a big part of the show. I quite liked the Braxtons when they first arrived, and the tension they created. The problem was in trying to normalise the Braxton's past and behaviour.

[Homeandawayfan.]

While Brax is a criminal, I would not call him evil, a psychopath. He is always there for his family. I dont say he is misunderstood but is not a totally one dimensional villain, he does care for his family. Same goes for Casey and Heath and Kyle. There are only a few H&A villains that can be seen as psychopaths. Perez, Ailsa's attacker.

Farewell to the greatest character in Home and Away history, and it literally couldn't have been more in line with his nature to end it all with a life on the run.

And yes, this deserves It's own thread.

Brax was Home and Away, and he will be missed.

I'm glad he has left the show. His exit was rubbish and I can't believe he is that selfish to let Ricky think that Brax is dead. Horrendous act from Brax. I only liked him with Charlie but that's because Brax was tolerable with Charlie, not that I liked them together.

Good riddance Brax and please don't ever come back. He won't be missed by me and hopefully they will now focus on other characters more. Sally was Home and Away but Home and Away survived when she left the show. So the show will be fine after Brax's exit.

​Considering the latest wave of unbearable newcomers (Hannah, Phoebe, Nate, Billie, Evie etc), Brax's exit is the last thing we need.

Sorry to hear that Brax has left. In my country somewhere in Europe, we still have Casey and Heath on the show, although I think they are about to leave soon. It is clear that the Braxtons era must end one day, but I think the Braxton brothers have been a very interesting ensemble of characters. The newcomers and their storylines that I have seen are quite boring to be honest. I understand it is not easy to be innovative after 25 or more years, is it.

I actually liked him when Charlie was around.It was around the time he was waving a gun around a hospital and everyone was 'poor brax'' that I went off him.He's not my most hated character but I'm glad he's gone because he's the most ridiculously hyped and overrated by a long shot.You'd think someone had died with all the publicity his exit is getting.It was a good exit for him though.Very in character even if some of the events before were completely unnecessary.
