“He’s up there with Alf!”
Patrick O’Connor, who plays Patrick Braxton on Home and Away, said he would like to see another well-liked Braxton family member come to Summer Bay.
The Braxton family was first featured in the venerable soap opera in 2011, and thanks to their prominent positions in the troubled River Boys gang, they were the focus of several tragic storylines.
Last year, under the direction of Dean Thompson, played by Patrick, Heath Braxton made a comeback to help the Parata family.
Dean has recently asked other River Boys to get him out of different situations.
Recently, Dean requested assistance from the surfer gang in dealing with the evil poker player PK. In the meantime, two members of the organisation had joined Dean in terrorising Nathan, who had accused him of killing PK, according to this week’s episodes.
The Braxtons themselves haven’t surfaced once again despite this.
Patrick said in an exclusive interview with Digital Spy regarding the prospect of the Braxtons assisting Dean in the future: “That would be fantastic! The return of Brax would be fantastic. Over the time I’ve been there, he’s been the subject of numerous comments, and for the fans, he ranks right up there with Alf! In that sense, they are unawakenable.
It would be nice, but those men are obviously busy and involved in other things, so whether it occurs again in the future, it is always thrilling when they return.
When asked if he was happy to revisit Dean’s River Boy side, Patrick responded: “Yes, without a doubt. There was a lot of drama in the early years of Dean’s Summer Bay narrative, which was extremely thrilling to do, especially for an actor because these dramatic storylines bring a lot of River Boy action and it’s always really great to play.”
Ryan Johnson, who briefly portrayed the villain PK before the character was just killed off, also received appreciation from Patrick.
We attended the same acting school, he claimed. He graduated before I did since he is a little older than I am, but he is the nicest, loveliest, and funniest guy I have ever met. He is also definitely a working actor in Australia.
“It’s really absurd how it turns out, but these guys always play the creepiest, baddest men. He has a very quick sense of humour and is quite funny. That makes it so you can always have a giggle even during those serious scenes, which I find to be extremely enjoyable to deal with.
