Steve Peacocke, one of Australia’s most loved actors, is leaving Home and Away.
While the star has filmed his final scenes on the Aussie soap, his character Darryl “Brax” Braxton will remain on our TV screens for the rest of the year.
Steve, who recently married his actress wife Bridgette Sneedon, who also stars on the Channel Seven soap, said the pair were moving to try their luck in Hollywood.
“It wasn’t something I was looking forward to because I love the show and the people I work with so much,” he told the Daily Telegraph.
“But I think the key to any good TV series or any good storytelling is to leave the audience at the right point, and where we got to with Brax, we hit a point where it was the best point for him to exit the show. It was just the perfect time I guess.”
Steve has already had a taste of Hollywood having starred in a small role in Hercules.
Steve and Bridgette met while at university together before eventually both landing roles on Home and Away, making them one of Summer Bay’s cutest real-life couples.
The couple reportedly got hitched on Christmas Eve, sealing the deal on a romance that has endured for almost a decade, after they first started dating in 2005.
