Two of Home And Away's biggest stars are returning to Summer Bay.

In news that would send shockwaves through Summer Bay and your mum's TV guide, two of the most iconic stars are returning to Home And Away.

Stephen Peacocke — he of tattooed, River Boys fame — is returning to the hit show after 10 years. And he's bringing Bonnie Sveen with him.

Channel Seven announced that iconic couple, Brax and Ricky, would be returning in 2026, with filming beginning in Western Australia in October 2025.

"It's an absolute joy to have Steve and Bonnie back with us for this epic event," says Seven's Director of Content, Scripted, Julie McGauran.

When last we saw them, Brax was exonerated of Dean's murder and was free to return to live a happy life with Ricky (after many years of mishaps, prison, and will-they-won't-they drama).

10 years on, Home And Away will revisit their love story with the on-screen couple delivering high-stakes drama and emotional payoffs.

Since leaving the show, Stephen Peacocke has had a diverse career with roles in everything from The Newsreader to Five Bedrooms to RFDS.

"When the producers asked if I'd revisit Brax, it felt like a fun opportunity — and one I think the audience will really enjoy," he said in a statement to Seven.

"Filming in spectacular outback Western Australia is the icing on the cake.

"I'll always be grateful to Home And Away for being the launchpad to my career, and I've got a sincere appreciation for the fans who have followed my work since."

Bonnie has also gone on to have an exciting career post-Ricky, starring in Rosehaven, The Secret Daughter, Escape and Evasion and Stan's Thou Shalt Not Steal.

But OG H&A fans couldn't be more excited to see her return to her role as Ricky.

"Bringing Ricky back wasn't something I'd ever expected, so I'm beyond thrilled to reunite with Steve and old friends at Home And Away," Sveen told 7NEWS.

"Exploring where Ricky and Brax are now, 10 years on, will make for a very special and compelling storyline and I can't wait for our WA filming adventure."
