Presto today confirmed the exclusive world premiere of Home and Away: An Eye for an Eye will begin streaming on Presto starting Wednesday, December 9, 2015. The highly anticipated exclusive Home and Away special event is Presto's first local commission that was announced earlier this year.
Home and Away: An Eye for an Eye centres on the Braxton family and will see the special guest return of two of Home and Away's favourite characters, Heath (Dan Ewing) and Bianca (Lisa Gormley), to Summer Bay.
The storyline for the special event sits immediately after the dramatic season finale of the regular series on Network Seven as the popular Braxton family face their biggest challenge ever when Brax (Steve Peacocke) and Ricky's (Bonnie Sveen) baby son Casey is kidnapped in a calculated act of revenge by Brax's arch nemesis - Gunno (Diarmid Heidenreich) - the man responsible for his seeming death'.
It's a race against time as Heath, Ash (George Mason) and Kyle (Nic Westaway) frantically search for baby Casey while Bianca, Ricky and Phoebe (Isabella Giovinazzo) desperately try to raise the ransom money as the clock ticks.
Home and Away: An Eye for an Eye has been produced exclusively for Presto by Seven Productions and will screen only on Presto. Today's World Premiere news announcement also accompanies Presto's unveiling of Australia's favourite Home and Away moments of the past 28 years, as voted by for by Home and Away fans.
The first selection of favourites featuring the most popular Home and Away Births episodes have started streaming from today, exclusive to Presto, and include such iconic episodes as the 2008 arrival of Archie Hyde who was born on the side of the road when his father Kim (Chris Hemsworth) tried a shortcut through an old drovers track and got a flat tyre; the 1998 birth of Martha MacKenzie to teenage mum Roo (Justine Clarke) who gave Martha up for adoption by the MacKenzie family only to try desperately to get her back at the last minute; and the 1996 new addition of daughter Shane Parrish, who was born to Angel (Melissa George) after the sudden death of his father and who was named Shane in her late dad's honour.
The Top 10 Home and Away Deaths episodes will stream soon after from 22 November followed by the Top 10 Weddings episodes starting on 29 November. The full list of the Top 10 Home and Away Births , Deaths and Wedding episodes as voted by Home and Away fans include:
