Home and Away star Ada Nicodemou has revealed that her character Leah Patterson-Baker sparks a "furious" reaction from troubled Brax when she interferes in his problems in an upcoming storyline.
Brax, played by Steve Peacocke, is already struggling with the death of his lover Charlie (Esther Anderson) when menacing Geoffrey King starts threatening him in episodes soon to air in Australia.
When Geoffrey demands that Brax pay off a $25,000 debt incurred by his brother Heath (Dan Ewing), Leah makes a big mistake when she decides to step in and hands over the cash to Geoffrey.
Nicodemou told TV Week: "[Leah] comes to Angelo's to see if Brax is okay and walks in on Geoffrey threatening Brax with a gun, so she knows things are really serious.
"Leah takes it upon herself to find Geoffrey and pay him out the money until Brax can get on his feet and sort it out later, because obviously his life is in danger.
"So she thinks she's doing the right thing, but as it turns out, it wasn't a real debt. Geoffrey has just said Brax owes him this money, and so now Brax is actually in debt to Leah. In trying to help, she's actually made the situation ten times worse."
She continued: "[Brax is] really furious and takes it out on her. He's always telling her to mind her own business and stay out of his life, and that he doesn't need help.
"It's hard for Leah, because she's trying to do the right thing, but now she's feeling really guilty that she's putting him under even more pressure."
Home and Away airs these scenes next week on Network Seven in Australia and late February on Channel 5 in the UK.
