Peacocke's now over the nerves STEVE Peacocke has revealed he thought he'd be fired from Home and Away when he began working on the show. The actor, who plays Darryl "Brax" Braxton on the Seven soap, says he suffered exhaustion due to nerves for the first five weeks. "It was very draining," he says. Every day I was so nervous, I was certain I was going to lose my job. It was nice to get through that and I'm having a lot of fun now. The confidence is starting to show on screen, with his performance landing him a gold Logie nomination. "I can honestly say I was not expecting it," he says. It's nice to know the fans are enjoying the show and enjoying our storylines.
